Motorized Shades for Dix Hills homes
The double-height family rooms along Vanderbilt Parkway and through Half Hollow Hills are the reason Dix Hills homeowners call about motorization. Those upper windows are unreachable, take the full afternoon sun, and are responsible for most of the summer heat gain in the room below. A motorized cellular or solar shade on that upper sash is the whole project.
Motorized shades solve the windows nobody can reach and the routines nobody keeps. A two-story entry window, a bank of sliders facing the water, a skylight over the stairs: each of these is a window that gets left open all summer because lowering it by hand is a chore. Put a motor on it and a schedule behind it, and the shade closes before the room heats up and opens again when the sun has moved on.
Homestead is a certified Hunter Douglas PowerView dealer, and PowerView runs on roughly nine out of ten motorized projects we install. Shades charge by battery, hardwire, or solar, run near silent, and take their cues from a time schedule, the sun's position, a Pebble remote, or Alexa, Google Assistant, and Apple Home. Duolite dual shades and top-down-bottom-up cellulars both motorize, so a bedroom gets blackout at night and filtered light in the morning from one headrail.

Why It Fits Here
Why Dix Hills homes choose our motorized shades
The upper sash
Motorized cellular shades on the second-story windows of the family room, scheduled to close from two until sunset in summer.
Battery, no electrician
Rechargeable wands tuck behind the headrail and last about a year, so the upper shades never need a ladder.
Matched top and bottom
The lower windows get the same fabric on a cordless or motorized lift, so the wall reads as one design.

Questions
Motorized Shades in Dix Hills, answered
A cellular honeycomb shade closed over a west-facing upper window during peak afternoon sun cuts the heat coming through that glass measurably, and the family room below stays cooler as a result. The motor is what makes it happen on schedule, because nobody climbs up to close those windows by hand every day at two.
No, in most rooms. PowerView shades run on a rechargeable lithium battery wand that lasts about a year between charges, and a small solar panel on the glass keeps sun-facing shades topped up. Hardwiring is the right call on new construction and on large shade walls, and we coordinate it with your electrician before the drywall goes up.
Yes. PowerView connects to Alexa, Google Assistant, and Apple Home directly, and to Control4, Crestron, and Savant for whole-house systems. Scenes run from the app, a Pebble remote, or a voice command.
Recent Hunter Douglas shades in the roller, cellular, and Silhouette lines accept a PowerView motor upgrade, and we confirm eligibility from the model number before quoting. Older shades and other brands get replaced, since a new shade with the motor built in costs less than adapting one that was never designed for it.
