Motorized Shades
Our motorized shade systems integrate with smart home platforms like Amazon Alexa and Google Assistant. Clients can control window treatments through voice commands, mobile apps, or automated schedules. This technology improves energy efficiency by adjusting shades based on temperature and weather conditions while enhancing security through vacation mode features.
Custom Shutters
We design and install custom-built shutters tailored to each client's architectural style and functional needs. Our shutters provide superior light control, privacy, and insulation while adding aesthetic value to residential and commercial properties through premium materials and precise craftsmanship.
Draperies
Our drapery solutions combine elegance with functionality using high-quality fabrics and modern hardware. Available in various styles and patterns, these window treatments offer customizable light filtration and insulation properties while complementing interior design schemes for both residential and commercial spaces.
Commercial Blinds
We provide durable, energy-efficient blind systems for commercial buildings with specialized features for large-scale installations. Our commercial solutions include automated controls for multi-window environments and materials designed to withstand high-traffic areas while maintaining professional aesthetics.
Energy Efficiency Solutions
Our motorized systems optimize energy consumption by automatically adjusting window coverings based on seasonal temperature patterns. This reduces HVAC costs through strategic insulation while maintaining occupant comfort through automated light and heat management systems.

If I could give this place -100 stars, I would. The owner was driving recklessly in his company vehicle and when I called to report it he cursed me out and called me terrible names. Doesnt seem like a professional business owner to me. Absolutely terrible company.

I actually have three different types of Shades/Blinds in my home and every type is an exact "fit" for that room. I am very particular about color choices and they knew the perfect color for my shades during our first 5 minutes together. Two serious thumbs up.

Cole installed some blinds at our office and they not only look great but they have helped with heating our building. Cole was great to work with and his selection was outstanding. Thanks again Idaho Shade Company! The Dealio
