Do you provide scaffold setup for high-ceiling installations?

Can motorized shades be installed on sloped skylights?

We install skylight systems from Somfy, Lutron, Norman, VELUX, and Screen Innovations. We recommend based on your skylight dimensions, angle, and smart home requirements.
Why are skylight installations more expensive than regular shades?
Skylight and high-window installations require specialized equipment (scaffolding, lifts), precise engineering for angled surfaces, motorized tension systems, and additional labor time for safe high-access work. These factors make them more complex than standard window treatments.
Do you repair motorized skylight shades?
Yes. We diagnose and repair all motorized skylight issues including motor failure, limit recalibration, fabric tension problems, and power supply issues. Visit our skylight shade repair page for details.
