What drives the price
Know what moves your quote before anyone measures
Most shade projects need a custom quote. Instead of guessing, here's an honest look at the factors that push the number up or down.
Motorized & Smart Shades
Automation cost is driven more by power and controls than by the shade itself.
Custom quote — see what drives it below
Hardwired power vs battery
Running power and in-wall wiring adds labor; battery is simpler.
Number of openings
More openings means more motors, brackets, and labor.
Smart-home integration
Hubs, scenes, and voice control add equipment and setup.
Standard fabric & sizing
Stock fabrics and common window sizes reduce cost.
Outdoor Patio Shades & Screens
Span, exposure, and how the system is anchored drive most of the price.
Custom quote — see what drives it below
Wide spans / tall openings
Larger areas need stronger systems and more material.
Motorization & wind sensors
Motors and automatic retraction add cost and durability.
Exposed, windy locations
High wind exposure requires heavier-duty hardware.
Manual operation
Crank or pull systems cost less than motorized.
Is Shade Select the company that installs my shades?
No. Shade Select is a local matching service powered by Hallstack. We qualify your project and route it to a vetted local installer who handles the estimate and installation.
Will my information be sold to a bunch of companies?
No. We route qualified projects to one local specialist at a time — your request is not blasted out to five companies competing for the same lead.
How much will my project cost?
Most shade projects need a custom quote because price depends on your openings, materials, motorization, and access. Our pricing page explains the factors that move the number up or down so you know what to expect before a specialist measures.
What happens after I submit the form?
We review your project details, confirm it's in the Austin service area, and connect you with a local specialist who reaches out to schedule an estimate. You can also call us directly to talk sooner.
Do I need to know exactly what I want?
No. If you're not sure whether you need interior shades, patio screens, an awning, or an enclosure, choose "Not sure" on the form and describe your space — the specialist will help you figure out the right solution.
What areas around Austin do you serve?
We focus on Austin and nearby communities including West Lake Hills, Lakeway, Bee Cave, Cedar Park, Round Rock, Georgetown, Dripping Springs, and Pflugerville. If you're just outside the area, submit anyway and we'll let you know.
