Custom motorized shades in Tarzana
Tarzana is largely a ranch-house city, and ranch houses have a signature shade problem: long, continuous runs of glass and sliding doors across the back of the house, all facing the yard and usually facing the afternoon.

Shades in Tarzana homes
South of Ventura the lots widen and the houses spread out, with rear elevations that can carry twenty or thirty feet of uninterrupted glass. Covering that well is a question of how you divide it — panel widths that look intentional rather than whatever the hardware allowed.
Sliding doors are the specific issue. A door needs its shade to clear the handle, to stack out of the traffic path, and to survive being used several times a day. That is a different specification from a window that never moves.
In the hills above the boulevard the houses get newer and larger, with the tall glass and stair windows that push most jobs toward motorization.
Sliding doors done properly
Most disappointing slider shades fail for mechanical reasons: the shade fouls the handle, or the hem bar swings when the door opens, or the panel is so wide it rolls unevenly. Building in our own shop means we size the tube, the hem bar and the panel split to the actual door instead of the nearest catalogue option.
