9 Steps involved in professional motorized shade installation
1. Initial consultation
We start by learning about your space and how you’d like the shades to work, whether it’s basic switch control or full smart home automation.
2. Product and system selection
You choose the type of shades, fabric, and control method. We help you find the right setup that fits both your home’s design and your daily routine.
3. Power supply planning
We determine whether the shades will be battery-operated or hardwired. For most luxury homes, hardwiring gives a cleaner look and more reliable performance.
4. Running electrical
As licensed electricians, we safely install any wiring needed to power the shades. Everything is hidden behind walls or ceilings for a clean, professional finish. Do electricians install motorized shades? This is a big reason why the answer is yes. You often need specialized electrical work to make sure it’s done safely and correctly.

Take a look at this 5-star review from one of our many happy clients
“I can’t rave enough about how wonderful Rick and Eugene were in helping us install a dimmer switch on our electric fan. That might seem like a small thing except our fan wasn’t accepting turning off the light when it was supposed to be off. Rick went way beyond what anyone ever could or would have done by making sure he got the dimmer switch to work. He was as nice as he could have been and I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend him and R & A. They are true professionals.” -Lauren
