Motorized Window Treatments for Highland Park's Most Distinctive Architecture
Highland Park holds some of the most distinctive windows in Dallas. Arched casements in Tudor estates, tall double-hungs in Georgian colonials, floor-to-ceiling glass in contemporary Preston Hollow — each asks for a different shade. We specify J Geiger roller systems and Savant motorized rollers, cellular and dual-roller treatments, and custom specialty work for arched, angled, and oversized openings. Every install is tailored to the architecture, the palette, and the way the room is actually used.
Beyond beauty, motorized shades quietly protect a Highland Park home. South-facing windows on Lakeside Drive take an afternoon sun that fades floors, dulls upholstery, and ages artwork. UV-filtering solars and dual-roller systems pairing sheer with blackout give you precise control over light and privacy from morning through evening. In bedrooms, blackout shades woven into your Savant lighting make a sleep environment that feels like the best hotel you have ever stayed in. Every shade we install runs on a whisper-quiet motor and answers your home automation, so the schedules and the scenes do the work.
Who We Help in Park Cities
- You have tall, arched, or specialty windows that have always needed something custom
- You collect art and antiques and need UV protection across the whole estate

How We Do It in Park Cities
A Window Survey — We measure every window in your home, noting frame depth, mounting surface, clearances, and what hardware is already there.
Choosing the Fabric — With samples in hand and your interiors around us, we choose between sheer, solar, translucent, and blackout. For a room torn between privacy and light, we recommend a dual-roller that pairs two fabrics on one headrail.
Motor and Power — We choose hardwired or battery motors based on what the window allows. In older Highland Park homes, we often run low-voltage from the attic so no wiring ever shows.
Custom Manufacturing — Shades are made to your exact specs — custom widths, hembar weights tuned for an even hang, finish colors matched to your trim.
A Careful Install — We mount brackets, hang shades, route the power, and set motor limits with precision. Fascia or recessed pockets tuck the hardware out of sight.
Bringing Them Into Your Home — Shades enroll in your Savant system. Morning shades rise with the alarm. Afternoon shades drop as the sun crosses a sensor. Evening shades close with Goodnight.

The Questions People Actually Ask.
Can you motorize arched and specialty-shaped windows in Highland Park Tudor homes?
Yes. We motorize arched tops, angled windows, and non-standard shapes. Savant and specialty manufacturers build shaped assemblies that follow the contour of the window with full motorized operation.
How long do battery-powered shade motors last before replacement?
Lithium packs in J Geiger and Savant shades typically last 3 to 5 years depending on how often the shade moves. For a window the family lives at, we recommend hardwired motors and the battery question goes away.
Can motorized shades integrate with my existing Savant lighting system?
Yes. Savant shades speak natively to Savant Lighting. One keypad button can dim the lights, lower the shades, and set the room for a movie or for sleep.
Do you offer exterior motorized screens for Highland Park porches and patios?
We install retractable motorized exterior screens from Crown Shade Company and Future Automation — sun protection, insect screening, wind diffusion for the covered outdoor rooms you actually use. They retract completely into hidden housings when you do not need them.
How do you avoid visible wiring on windows in older Highland Park homes?
For battery shades, no wiring at all. For hardwired, we route low-voltage through the attic and behind crown molding, emerging at the window head behind the fascia or inside a recessed pocket. The result is a clean line and nothing showing.
