My builder uses Houzz Pro to plan the timeline and give detailed estimates and daily updates with photos of progress, and provide invoices at pre-agreed key points in the build. This made the whole experience much more efficient and stress-free.

Quesitons about motorized shades

11 years ago

Can motorized shades work manually (ie, if the power goes out)? Are they loud?

If you have motorized treatments, was it a good investment or do you regret it?
