All Brands, Including No-Name
Motorized shades fail differently from manual ones. Nothing is visibly broken — the shade simply stops answering. A remote that worked last month does nothing, the shade runs past where it used to stop, or a replacement remote never paired in the first place. Almost none of that requires a new shade. This is the repair people most often assume is hopeless. It usually isn't.
Lost travel limits, an unpaired remote, a shade that has drifted out of alignment with the rest of a group — all of these are settings, and settings can be reset without touching the shade itself.
When the motor really has failed, a full motor replacement is nearly always better value than a new shade, because the fabric, tube and brackets are usually fine. We fit a new motor into the existing shade.
The shade stops in the wrong place, or runs too far up or down. Travel limits drift over time — we set new ones so it stops exactly where you want it.
A new or replacement remote that won't control the shade, or a shade that has lost its pairing entirely. One of the most common motorized jobs we do.
Where the motor is genuinely dead, we replace it inside the existing shade rather than replacing the whole unit.
Somfy, Lutron, Hunter Douglas PowerView, Rollease Acmeda — and the unbranded motorized shades that arrive in a lot of Miami condo buildings with no documentation whatsoever. If nobody left you the manual, that's normal.
We aim to attend as soon as possible — often the same day, and always within one to two days when we're busy.
Far more often it's a lost pairing or a flat remote battery than a failed motor. It's worth checking before assuming the worst.
Tell us what it does: Nothing at all, a beep, or movement to the wrong place — that alone narrows it down a long way.
Send a photo: A picture of the shade and the remote is usually enough for us to know what's involved before we come out.
We attend: Often the same day, always within one to two days, across our full installation radius.
Or we upgrade: If you'd rather move up to a different system entirely, we install motorized window treatments from Lutron, Somfy and Hunter Douglas.
Motorized shades on our 32nd-floor condo paid for themselves in AC savings within a year. The whole setup syncs with Alexa and the team walked us through everything in Spanish and English.
Our Mediterranean Revival home needed shutters that respected the architecture. Composite plantation shutters look like real wood but won’t warp in our humidity. Five years and they still look new.
Solar roller shades in our oceanfront condo cut the glare without blocking the view. Salt air hasn’t damaged anything in three years. Worth every dollar.

Photograph the shade and the remote, and tell us what happens when you press the button. That's usually enough for us to know what's involved before we come out — free.
