Carried & Installed
PowerShades motorized shades · Kansas City.
IntegrateIT carries, supplies and installs PowerShades motorized shades across the Kansas City metro, in new houses, remodels and outdoor rooms. PowerShades is a line we carry and install under distribution. Shades are a wiring job before they are a window job, so we plan them at the drawing stage, run the cable, measure each window and program the shades with the lights. The first step is a no-cost planning consultation. Phone: (913) 804-7575.
What PowerShades is known for
PowerShades makes fully custom automated roller shades and its signature is TruePoE, its name for shades powered over a network cable rather than a battery or a separate power run. On PowerShades’ site today:
- TruePoE. Roller shades powered and controlled over one Ethernet cable from a PoE network switch.
- Interior and exterior roller shades. For windows inside and for patios and porches outside.
- Awnings. A motorized full-cassette awning.
- Roller fabric collection. More than 1,000 combinations of colors, textiles and openness, by PowerShades’ count.
Where we use PowerShades
PowerShades suits a house being built or opened up, where a network cable can reach each window, as part of our motorized shades and pre-wire work. Exterior shades fit a porch or patio that needs sun and wind control. For houses on a Lutron system we also install Lutron shades (IntegrateIT is a Lutron Certified Dealer), and Screen Innovations shades.
What we check before we order
- The cable. A network cable home-run from each window to a PoE switch, placed at rough-in where the shade bracket will be.
- Mounting depth. Inside or outside mount, pocket depth and the clearance for the fabric roll.
- Fabric and openness. How much light and view each room should keep, chosen from samples in the room.
- Measurement. Each window measured by us once the finishes are in, not from the plans.
The PowerShades order is written from those measurements, window by window.
What PowerShades pairs with
A managed PoE network, often from Ubiquiti, sized for the shades. A Control4 or Crestron system so shades run with lighting scenes and by time of day; PowerShades says its shades work with multiple smart home systems or on their own. Lighting control on the same keypads.
How we supply and install PowerShades
After the no-cost planning consultation we mark every shade on the drawing, run the cable at rough-in, measure after finishes, order to the measurements, install and program the shades into scenes. Call (913) 804-7575.
After the install
Every PowerShades job ends with a handover in the room: we show you how it works, test it with you, and record the models, settings and wiring in your project record so the next visit starts from facts rather than guesses. If something stops working, you call us, and the person who answers can see what was installed. Our installation carries a five-year workmanship warranty from the final invoice. Because we also look after the network and the control system around it, the shading is never fixed in isolation from the rest of the house.

Questions
Common questions
Do you install PowerShades motorized shades in Kansas City?
Yes. IntegrateIT (Overland Park, KS) carries and installs PowerShades across the Kansas City metro, in new houses, remodels and outdoor rooms. PowerShades is a line we carry and install under distribution. We plan it at no cost, supply it, install it and hand it over working. Phone: (913) 804-7575.
Can you add PowerShades to a Control4 system?
Usually, yes. We connect the shades to Control4 or Crestron so they move with lighting scenes, by time of day or from a keypad, and we confirm the integration for the system you have before we order.
Can you install a PowerShades product I already bought?
Usually, yes. We check the cable and the mounting at each window first, then install, set limits and program them. Our five-year workmanship warranty covers our installation; the product warranty is PowerShades’s to state.
Do PowerShades need an outlet at every window?
No. TruePoE shades take power and control over a network cable from a PoE switch, so each window needs a cable run rather than an outlet. That is why we plan them before the drywall goes up.
Tell us the windows. We will plan the cable before the drywall.
