Powered roller shade options - need suggestions

2 years ago

I need to put up some roller shades to match the rest. The current ones are hunter douglas black with 5% light transmission.


I got quotes from the building's two preferred vendors to match what I currently have. For 7 windows 8 feet tall and 3 feet wide each it was $8500 for the small independent guy and $11000 for the larger company.


I've been researching other options because I feel this pricing is rediculously high. However, the DIY options seem to only say the batteries last 3 months, vs the HD claims of battery powered shades lasting 12 months between charges. Is there a large difference in battery technology between the HD and DIY options? The shades will go up and down at least once a day.


I saw someone recommended the Lutron option as an alternative to HD. All suggestions appreciated.
