When it comes to buying and installing motorized blinds for windows, the complexity and precision required make it crucial to choose the right window treatment company. Big box retailers like IKEA, Home Depot, Lowe’s, and Amazon may seem convenient and offer discounted prices, but they often fall short in delivering the expertise and personalized service that Acadia Shutters provides.

Personalized In-Home Consultation

One of the key advantages of choosing Acadia Shutters is the personalized in-home consultation. Our professionally trained sales consultants visit your home to assess your specific needs, take precise measurements, and recommend the best solutions. This hands-on approach ensures that the motorized shades you choose are perfectly tailored to your home’s unique requirements. Alternatively, big box stores typically rely on subcontractors for measuring and installation. This creates a disconnect, as the subcontractor handling your installation might not have the same knowledge or investment in your project as the salesperson you met in the store.

Expertise and Attention to Detail

Motorized blinds are a complex product, involving various components, motor types, and power sources. Big box stores often use 1099 subcontractors who may lack the specialized training required to handle these complexities effectively. Our team is trained in both the technical and design aspects of motorized blinds. We understand the nuances of different motor types, frequencies, and power requirements, ensuring that your remote control blinds are installed correctly and function seamlessly.

For example, if we are installing roller shades on smaller windows, we may recommend the 12V Sonesse 28 RTS motor, which would be less expensive and wouldn’t be overkill for windows that are smaller widths. For large windows, we would recommend the 12V Sonesse 30 Ultra RTS motor, which comes with a built-in rechargeable lithium-ion battery and is built to be ‘ultra quiet,’ so there is very little sound made when raising/lowering your shades. Where we have this level of expertise, big box retailers may not have the options or expertise in motorization to be able to guide you to the best solution.

Seamless and Coordinated Service

When you choose us, you benefit from a seamless and coordinated service experience. Our sales consultants are your main point of contact throughout the entire process, from consultation to installation. This continuity eliminates the communication gaps that can occur when dealing with subcontractors. Our team is directly responsible for the success of your project. This is in stark contrast to the fragmented service you might receive from a big box retailer, where the salesperson, subcontractor, and installation team may operate independently.

Each member of our team is an Acadia Shutters employee and not a subcontractor. This means that our installers are fully insured, have up-to-date training, and will treat your home as if it were their own.

Comprehensive Support and Warranty

We provide comprehensive support and a lifetime warranty for our products. If any issues arise with your motorized shades, you can contact us directly for troubleshooting and service. We prioritize our customers for return visits, ensuring that any problems are resolved quickly and efficiently, usually at no additional cost. This level of post-installation support is rare with big box retailers, where you might have to deal with the manufacturer directly for any warranty claims or service issues.

Custom Solutions for Complex Needs

Motorized shades can vary significantly in their complexity, especially when integrating with smart home systems. We offer tailored solutions to fit your specific needs, whether you require a simple remote-controlled system or a fully integrated smart home setup. We provide expert guidance on choosing the right components and can recommend third-party devices that allow you to integrate your smart blinds seamlessly with Amazon Alexa, Google Assistant, and others.

With the Bond or Bond Pro WiFi bridge you can control your motorized shades from an iPhone, Android, tablet, Google Assistant, Amazon Echo, and other home automation systems.

Competitive Pricing and Value

While big box retailers may occasionally offer upfront discounts, the overall value we provide is unmatched. Our focus on quality, precision, and customer satisfaction means that you receive a superior product and service experience. We may not always be the cheapest option upfront, but the long-term benefits of choosing a specialist like Acadia Shutters far outweigh any initial cost savings from a big box store. Our customers often find that the peace of mind and hassle-free experience we provide are well worth the investment.

When investing in motorized blinds, the expertise, personalized service, and comprehensive support offered by Acadia Shutters make all the difference. Avoid the pitfalls of dealing with subcontractors and the fragmented service of big box retailers. Choose Acadia Shutters for a seamless, high-quality experience that ensures your motorized shades are a perfect fit for your home.
