Motorized Shades in Blakeslee
West-facing lake glass is the classic Pocono problem: gorgeous at 7 PM in June, unwatchable at 4 PM in January. Shades on an astronomic timeclock handle the sun angle as it shifts through the year without anyone adjusting a thing.
Gated lake developments
In a development home shades usually go in selectively rather than throughout: the west-facing living room windows and the bedrooms. Battery-powered Serena shades make this straightforward and non-destructive, and because the runs are short and the windows are standard sizes, the cost per opening is at the low end.
Local conditions
What this looks like in Blakeslee.
The housing here
Large planned communities with a wide range of build quality and vintage. Some homes have structured wiring behind a panel nobody ever opened; others have nothing but a coax drop.
Connectivity
Development-wide cable service that is generally serviceable, though peak-weekend congestion is common in the denser sections.
Why owners here buy it
Split between full-time residents and heavy rental use. Locks and networking dominate on the rental side; audio and lighting on the resident side.

Questions
Shades questions from Blakeslee homeowners
Something not covered here? Call (267) 719-3598 and ask.
Do you install motorized shades in Blakeslee?
Yes. Blakeslee is part of our regular service area and we work throughout Monroe County, including Emerald Lakes, Blue Ridge, Pocono Country Place area. We are based in Pocono Pines, so this is work we do ourselves rather than subcontract.
Battery or hardwired?
Battery for retrofits — Lutron's batteries run three to five years and the install is non-destructive. Hardwired for new construction and for very large shades, where the motor draw makes batteries impractical.
How loud are they?
Lutron's are the quietest we have installed. In a room with any background sound you generally hear the fabric moving before you hear the motor.
