Maintenance is minimal, primarily involving battery replacement for wireless systems (typically every 1-2 years) and occasional software updates. Our systems include remote diagnostic capabilities, allowing many adjustments to be made without an on-site visit.

How quiet are automated shade motors?

Working with Samar at Shades by Design has been a pleasure. She has been creative, responsive, caring and professional throughout the project. She is a positive, can do kind of person and made it any easy experience. Sam and Joe, their installers were also terrific. They showed up on time, were very nice and professional and good at what they did. Overall a great experience. There was a small stain on one of the cornices when it arrived from production but the manager has been advised and I’m waiting to hear back.
