Zero exposed wires. I was terrified of having ugly cords running down the wall, but they hid everything perfectly.

Commercial Automation for Campus & Corporate Facilities
For university administrative buildings, modern campus housing, and corporate offices across Davis, managing thermal load at scale is a critical facility requirement. Our enterprise division partners with local architects and property managers to deploy robust, low-voltage Somfy and Lutron motorized shade systems that integrate seamlessly with building management controls (BMS). We ensure strict adherence to Yolo County commercial electrical codes, providing automated UV-blocking and blackout solutions that enhance tenant comfort, reduce long-term cooling costs, and maintain absolute architectural uniformity from the outside looking in.
Technical Challenges in Davis
Outfitting those older 1960s ranch homes and modern Wildhorse builds in Davis with automated shades isn't just a luxuryâit's survival gear against that brutal 100-degree Central Valley summer heat. If you're tackling the installation yourself, start by checking out our free DIY smart home guide on the site; you absolutely can run low-voltage wire and mount the brackets on your own. But if hitting studs behind older lath or programming that Somfy hub gets frustrating, don't force it. Just give our dispatch a call, and we'll send a technician over to finish the job safely.
Retrofitting Smart Shades in Older Davis Homes
Many of the established neighborhoods in Central Davis and El Macero feature mid-century ranch layouts with original plaster or older drywall over rigid insulation. When we install motorized shade tracks here, precision is everything. We use low-voltage fish tape to pull wiring behind the walls without damaging the original aesthetic, minimizing the need for drywall patching afterward. Every bracket is secured directly to the king studs using laser leveling systems, ensuring the heavy automated roller shades operate flawlessly without sagging over time.
For modern, eco-conscious builds in areas like Wildhorse, the focus shifts to aesthetic concealment. We often install flush-mount recessed headers that hide the motors completely. If you are upgrading your entire living room, synchronizing these blackout shades with home theater setups creates an immersive, glare-free environment at the touch of a single button.
Managing Yolo County Heat and Glare
The brutal summer heat in the Central Valley isn't just uncomfortable; it drives up cooling costs significantly. West-facing windows take the brunt of this solar heat gain. By installing Somfy or Lutron automated thermal-blocking shades, we can program your window treatments to automatically lower when the afternoon sun hits its peak. This proactive thermal management aligns with local energy efficiency goals often encouraged by Davis Community Development standards, helping to keep your HVAC system from overworking.
We often encounter clients who need these solutions deployed across large residential footprints. While our primary team handles the local university town area, we also regularly dispatch crews for large-scale smart shade installation in Woodland to help neighboring communities combat the exact same Central Valley heat issues with enterprise-grade UV-blocking materials.
Seamless Automation and Electrical Compliance
Modern motorized blinds are only as good as the network controlling them. During our installation process, we ensure that every wireless motor or hardwired Lutron hub communicates perfectly with your existing smart home ecosystemâwhether that's Apple HomeKit, Alexa, or a proprietary Z-Wave network. We test the RF signal strength in every room, making sure thick walls don't cause dead zones that leave your shades stuck halfway down.
We fit the same systems across nearby areas.
Safety and code compliance are non-negotiable. We strictly adhere to low-voltage electrical codes when dropping wire lines from the attic or crawling under raised foundations to supply power. By ensuring every connection is properly terminated and load-balanced, we eliminate the fire risks associated with amateur DIY electrical work, delivering a premium, fully automated window treatment system that you can trust for years.

Customer Reviews
4.8 (65 reviews)
Solid work. The laser leveling made a huge difference because my old windows are completely out of square.
Great communication from dispatch to installation. The shades lower automatically at 3 PM every day.
I thought motorized shades would look too industrial, but the fabric valance hides everything beautifully.
They pulled the wire through the attic down to the window headers without breaking any of the 1970s drywall.
