Shade.Shop - Custom Window Treatments for Sonoma, Napa & Marin
Motorized Shades Larkspur, CA
Larkspur sits back just far enough from the bay that the fog burns off earlier than in Sausalito or Tiburon, leaving homes here with more direct afternoon sun than the fog usually allows along the water. Motorized shades Larkspur homeowners install with us adjust as that sun moves across the day instead of staying stuck in one position. We serve Larkspur as part of our regular Marin County coverage, starting with a free in-home consultation.
WHAT WE BUILD FOR LARKSPUR HOMES
Outdoor Shades & Screens
Retractable pergolas and screens built for Larkspur’s tree-lined patios – block the afternoon sun near downtown and Larkspur Creek, open it back up once it drops.
Motorized Blinds
Motorized blinds Larkspur homeowners run from a phone or wall panel, with the option to tie directly into an existing Control4 or Savant system.
Custom Interior Shades
Cellular, roller, and roman shades measured and fabricated specifically for your home, built to fit every window precisely – including the older frames.
WHY CUSTOM FIT MATTERS IN LARKSPUR
Between the historic homes near downtown and Larkspur Creek, the newer builds toward Larkspur Landing, and the hillside streets climbing toward Baltimore Canyon, window exposure in Larkspur changes block by block. A fixed shade that works in one room often doesn’t work in the next, especially once the fog clears and the sun comes through directly.
- No Cords to Manage. Motorized options run on a remote, wall switch, or app – nothing dangling for kids or pets to get into.
- Fabric built for direct sun. Options that cut harsh afternoon glare without blacking out the room entirely, built for Larkspur’s clearer skies.
- We Measure, You Don’t. Our team handles every step of the install, start to finish.
Clearer afternoons are part of what makes Larkspur different from towns closer to the water, and part of what makes direct sun such a common complaint once the fog burns off. Outdoor screens Marin homeowners add to their patios solve the same problem outside that motorized shades solve indoors.
Window Shades Larkspur & the Creek
Most of our work in Larkspur happens between the historic homes near downtown and the creek, the neighborhoods toward Larkspur Landing, and the hillside streets climbing into Baltimore Canyon. Wherever your property sits, the process is the same: we come out, measure, walk you through fabric and control options, then handle the install ourselves. Nothing gets subcontracted, and nothing ships to you to figure out on your own.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much does it cost to shade a typical Larkspur home?
Every project is priced by size, fabric, and whether it’s motorized, so we quote after the free in-home visit rather than guessing over the phone.
Can you match the aesthetic of a historic Larkspur home?
Yes — we regularly fit custom sizes and finishes for older homes near downtown where standard shades don’t fit the window frames.
Do I need to be home for the whole install?
For most projects, yes for the initial walkthrough, though installation itself usually takes a single visit.
What’s the real difference between motorized and manual?
Motorized costs more upfront but skips cords entirely and can tie into a smart home system already in place. Manual is simpler and often enough for windows you don’t use often.
Do you serve Mill Valley and Kentfield too?
Yes, both are part of our regular Marin County coverage.
Is there a minimum project size?
No — we take on single-window jobs as often as whole-house projects.
