Motorized shades in Naples
Naples homes carry a lot of west-facing glass toward the Gulf, and the afternoon sun moves fast across a great room. Shades that track the sun cut glare and protect floors, art and fabric, and the same system can close the house automatically before a storm. We introduce vetted, licensed installers and stay with you until you're confident.
- Licensed Florida contractors only, checked on the state lookup
- Savant, Control4, Crestron and Lutron specialists

Licensed only
Every installer's state license, checked on the state's own lookup before any introduction.
Independent
We don't install or sell equipment, so there is no brand to push.
Never sold
Your details go only to the installers you choose to meet. Never to a list.
Free to you
Installers pay us only when a project goes ahead. You never pay us anything.
Shades that open and close on their own
Motorized shades raise, lower or tilt on their own, controlled by a keypad, an app, a remote, or a schedule tied to the sun. On a large home they typically connect into the same whole-home control system as lighting and audio, so a single 'morning' or 'movie' scene can adjust shades throughout the house at once. Fabric, opacity and mounting style are chosen room by room, so a media room might get a blackout fabric while a great room keeps a sheer that filters glare without blocking the view.
Shades run on either a rechargeable battery pack or a hardwired motor tied into your electrical system. Hardwired systems cost roughly 20 to 30 percent more to install but never need a battery changed or recharged, which matters on a hard-to-reach window. Battery-powered systems, such as Hunter Douglas's PowerView line, are often a better fit for retrofitting an existing home. Price is driven mainly by the number and size of windows, the fabric you choose, the motor type, and how deeply the shades tie into a broader control system.
What it usually includes
- Motorized roller, Roman, honeycomb or drapery-track shades
- A choice of fabric, from sheer to full blackout
- Battery-powered or hardwired motors
- Sun, UV or heat sensors tied to automatic scenes
- Keypad, remote, app or voice control
- Integration with a whole-home lighting or automation system
- Programming of daily or seasonal schedules
What it costs
One luxury installer's published guide prices a single motorized roller shade, installed, at $800 to $2,500; a full-home installation across 30 to 60 or more windows commonly runs $40,000 to $120,000 or more, and a 5,000-square-foot home typically lands between $25,000 and $100,000-plus. See our motorized shades cost guide for a room-by-room estimate.
The Naples cost guide →What Naples shades have to handle
Gulf-facing glare
Homes in Park Shore, Pelican Bay and along the Gulf in Old Naples take direct west sun most afternoons. Shades programmed to track the sun close on the glass that needs it and leave the rest of the house open, so you are not choosing between a view and a comfortable room.
Salt air and hardware
Anything mounted near the lanai, pool or dock is living in salt air year-round, so motors and hardware on those windows need weather-appropriate ratings, not the standard interior kind. Salt speeds up corrosion on ordinary hardware within a few seasons. Ask your installer which lines they use outdoors versus in air-conditioned rooms, since the two are not interchangeable and mixing them shortens the life of both.
Closing the house before a storm
Hurricane season runs June 1 to November 30 (NOAA National Hurricane Center), and many Naples owners are not in the house when a storm approaches. Motorized shades that close from a phone protect glass and interiors remotely, alongside the leak, power and temperature alerts most installers set up at the same time. See our hurricane season guide.
Check any installer's license yourself
In Florida, low-voltage and electrical work needs a state license from the Department of Business and Professional Regulation. Look for one of these on the installer's paperwork:
Common questions
Straight answers to what owners ask us most.
Do motorized shades hold up to salt air in Naples?
Indoor shades hold up fine. Anything mounted outdoors, near a lanai, pool or dock, needs hardware rated for salt air and humidity, so ask your installer which lines they use outside versus inside the house.
Can shades close automatically before a hurricane?
Yes. Most systems let you close every shade in the house from a phone before you evacuate or head back up north, and installers often pair that with power and leak alerts for the same trip. See our hurricane season guide.
What do motorized shades cost for a Naples home?
It depends mainly on window count, fabric choice and whether the shades are hardwired or battery powered. See the Naples cost guide for typical whole-home ranges, or the motorized shades cost guide for a full room-by-room breakdown.
Should I choose battery-powered or hardwired motorized shades?
Hardwired shades cost roughly 20 to 30 percent more to install but never need a battery changed, which is worth it for hard-to-reach or frequently-used windows. Battery-powered shades, such as Hunter Douglas's PowerView line, install with less disruption and are often the better choice when retrofitting a home that's already finished, according to one luxury installer's guide.
How much do motorized shades cost for a whole house?
According to one luxury installer's pricing guide, a focused installation covering 10 to 15 windows typically runs $15,000 to $35,000, while a whole-home installation across 30 to 60 or more windows runs $40,000 to $120,000 or more. Price depends mainly on window count, fabric choice, and how deeply the shades integrate with your other systems.
