From window treatments to whole-home automation

Distinctive started in 1995 as a window-treatment and interior-design business. Over three decades, that work grew naturally into full home automation - first motorizing shades, then integrating lighting, climate, audio-video and security into single, elegant systems. That heritage is why our installs feel designed, not bolted on. Read the full company story.
