Smart Shades in Phoenix, AZ

Motorized shades on remote control — shades that move themselves. Measured at your home, custom-made to order, and installed free by Sun Devil's own team.

  • ◆ 10-year warranty on motor and battery
  • ◆ Remote-control operation
  • ◆ Available on roller, zebra, cellular
  • ◆ Installed and programmed by Sun Devil's team

Smart shades put Sun Devil's fabrics on a motor. One remote raises a whole wall of glass; tall, hard-to-reach windows stop being a daily chore; and shades can greet the morning or close against the afternoon furnace on schedule instead of relying on memory. In Phoenix, that last trick is practical, not just fancy — west shades that close themselves before the heat peaks protect your rooms and your cooling bill.

Motorization is available across Sun Devil's shade range — roller, zebra, and cellular fabrics can all ride on a motor — and every motorized unit carries a 10-year warranty on the motor and lithium battery, on top of the Limited Lifetime Warranty on the shade itself. Sun Devil measures, installs, and programs everything with its own team, then hands you the remote.

Why Phoenix Homeowners Choose Smart Shades

One-touch control

Raise or lower single shades or whole rooms from one remote — no cords, no reaching.

Made for tall glass

Two-story and clerestory windows become usable instead of permanently dressed one way.

Beat the afternoon sun

Scheduled west-facing shades close before peak heat instead of after the room is already hot.

Child and pet safe

No cords at all — the safest lift system there is.

10-year motor warranty

Motor and lithium battery are covered for a decade, in writing.

Works across fabrics

Motorize roller, zebra, or cellular shades and keep one consistent control system.

Options & Choices

Remote control

The standard setup: a handheld remote channels shades individually or as a room group.

Motorized rollers

Blackout rollers in a primary bedroom, on a motor, is the most-requested smart upgrade.

Motorized zebra shades

Align sheer and solid bands by remote — featured in Sun Devil's own gallery photos.

Motorized cellular

Pair honeycomb insulation with powered lift on tall or wide windows.

Care & Keeping

Care for the fabric exactly as you would the manual version of the same shade. Keep the remote's batteries fresh and recharge or replace the motor's lithium battery as the warranty documentation directs. If a motor ever stalls or a shade drifts out of level, that is covered — 10 years on motor and battery.

Easiest process ever. Robin was great. No pressure and the installers were amazing. Fast and they made sure they were dust free before they left. Very professional and polite. I want my kitchen window done and I will call them

Jay was really knowledgeable about all things windows and not just shutters. I now have two options that are going to work and will protect the eight windows I have on that side of the house.

Smart Shades FAQs

Straight answers, based on how Sun Devil actually works — warranty terms, timelines, and pricing process included.

How much do smart motorized shades cost?

Every project is custom-measured, so pricing depends on window count, sizes, material, and options. The honest way to price smart motorized shades is the free in-home consultation: you receive an exact, room-by-room written quote with factory-direct pricing and no obligation. Financing is available through Hearth if you prefer monthly payments.

Which shades can be motorized?

Sun Devil motorizes its roller, zebra, and cellular shades. The fabric choice follows the room — blackout roller for bedrooms, zebra for living areas, cellular where insulation matters — and the motor system stays consistent across them, so one remote can run a mixed home.

What warranty covers the motor?

Motorized shades carry Sun Devil's Limited Lifetime Warranty on the shade itself, plus a 10-year warranty on the motor and lithium battery. That decade of motor coverage is stated plainly in Sun Devil's own warranty and FAQ pages — ask your consultant to show you the terms during your consultation.

How are motorized shades powered and charged?

They run on a rechargeable lithium battery inside the shade's headrail — no electrician and no wiring through your walls for typical installations. The motor and battery carry the 10-year warranty. Your installer will show you the charging point and remote before they leave.

Are smart shades worth it for tall windows?

They are the use case where motorization stops being a luxury. A shade you cannot reach is a shade that never moves, so the window might as well be uncovered. A motor makes two-story and clerestory glass adjustable again — and on west-facing tall glass, scheduled closing genuinely changes how hot the room gets.

Is the in-home consultation really free?

Yes. Sun Devil Shutters comes to your home, measures every window, brings real samples, talks through design and color options, and leaves you an exact, itemized quote — completely free and with no obligation. Most visits take under an hour, and you keep the written details whether you order or not.

Who installs my order — do you use subcontractors?

No subcontractors. Professional installation is free with your order and is handled by Sun Devil's own in-house installers, the same local team that supports the product after the job. Because the factory, showroom, and installers are all in Phoenix, adjustments and warranty service stay simple.

How long will my order take?

Most orders are built and installed within 4–6 weeks of ordering. Shutters and barn doors are made in the Phoenix factory, so the team controls the schedule instead of waiting on overseas shipping. Your consultant will confirm the expected timeline in writing with your quote.

Can one remote run shades in several rooms?

Yes. Channels on the remote can be assigned per shade or per room group, so the living room wall opens together while bedroom shades stay on their own channel. Sun Devil's installers program the groupings with you at installation and label what each channel does.

Do smart shades work during a power outage?

Battery-powered shades keep working — the motor runs from its internal lithium battery, not your home's wiring. An outage is actually when they are most convenient, since there are no cords to fall back on and none are needed.

Can I add motorization to just one room first?

Absolutely, and most customers do exactly that — the primary bedroom or the tall living-room wall first. Because the same system extends across Sun Devil's shade range, adding rooms later keeps one remote family. Your free quote can price a phased plan room by room.

Are motorized shades safe around kids and pets?

They are the safest option available: no lift cords exist to tangle. The shade moves by motor at a controlled pace, and the remote lives wherever you keep it. For nurseries, Sun Devil typically pairs motorization or cordless lift with blackout fabric.
