Ward Parkway homeowners appreciate the intersection of luxury and practicality—and smart motorized shades deliver both. The corridor's grand homes with multiple large windows and skylights benefit tremendously from automated light control that reduces energy costs and protects fine furnishings from UV damage. Kansas City's hot summers make scheduling shades to close during peak afternoon heat a genuine money-saver. Historic homes along the boulevard often feature hard-to-reach transom windows and skylights where motorization shines. The neighborhood's design-conscious residents value the seamless integration of motorized systems with premium furnishings and smart home ecosystems. We've installed hundreds of motorized shade systems in Ward Parkway properties, from contemporary updates to period-appropriate renovations. Our expertise with both hardwired and battery-powered solutions means we work with your home's architecture, whether it's new construction or a cherished historic property.
