"John Irato with Better Blinds Plus knows his product, and isn't just out to make a sale. Pointed out that while the "best quality" blinds would be perfect for the main floor, we could actually go with a budget look alike downstairs in the "man cave/ office" and guest room. He covers an amazing amount of territory, so his timeliness wasn't the greatest, but who hasn't gotten stuck in unpredictable traffic? Life happens, and he was on top of letting us know his new arrival time the moment he could! If we had more windows, I'd hire him again."

"Did not recieve the estimate after the consultant arrived. When I called back received the estimate very quickly. However the estimate was over 20K for 15 plantation shutter windows which is about double any of the other estimates."

Cletis offered a comprehensive range of services, including complimentary in-home consultations, professional measurements, and expert installation, ensuring a perfect fit for each window. The selection of custom window coverings is impressive, featuring options such as solar, roller, cellular, pleated, wood, Roman, blackout/sheer, and child-safe solutions. This extensive variety made it easy to find the perfect match for my home's aesthetic and functional needs. Throughout the process, the owner of Shade-Wise. CLETIS demonstrated professionalism and a commitment to quality. Their flexible appointment scheduling accommodated my busy lifestyle, and I recommend him. 5 star"

"I am so happy with A Shade Modern. They came highly recommended to me by a friend and colleague. They were very patient with me as Iâ m very busy and felt too overwhelmed to pick out what I wanted at first, so they were kind enough to leave samples with me and do some design pictures until I was satisfied with my selection. I had a goal in mind of having a very minimal, clean look as we just installed new bronze windows. I didnâ t want the window cartridge to look bulky and take away from the windows when the shades were open, and Amber helped find the perfect bronze cartridge to house the shades when they are rolled-up, so that the bronze cartridge blends seamlessly into the window design. I am SO happy with the results! They were wonderful to work with and I highly recommend them!"

"We have not had our window treatments installed yet, however Dawn has been very helpful in answering our questions and guiding us on what to choose for our windows. She went above and beyond to make sure she was present during our shutter measurement appt with Andy. I can't say enough positive things about her and your company so far. We can't wait until our window treatments are installed!!"

Custom window treatments cost $800 per window, ranging from $150 to $3,000 for materials alone, before labor is factored in. Blinds are the most economical option, while custom curtains and drapes are more expensive due to intricate designs and premium materials. The final cost depends on your style preferences, material quality, and the complexity of the installation.
Mini blinds are the most cost-effective window treatment available, providing efficient light control and exceptional value. They offer the lowest cost option at $600 per set and serve as a dependable solution for budget-conscious homeowners. Roller shades and valances offer cost savings by avoiding premium materials, ensuring that quality design and functional installations remain uncompromised.
Prices increase with larger windows, premium materials, and additional labor for complex installations. High-grade fabrics, hardwoods, intricate designs, and motorized hardware all contribute to the total cost. For instance, drapes run more than Roman shades because they use more fabric and detailing. Still, a well-chosen treatment pays you back in style, privacy, and insulation.
Layering treatments—say, a sheer shade paired with floor-length drapes—adds depth and polish to any room. Sticking to one color family keeps the look cohesive while mixing textures boosts dimension, sound absorption, and energy efficiency. You also gain flexible light control, shifting from full sun to total blackout without swapping hardware.
Energy-efficient window treatments lower energy costs by minimizing heat transfer through advanced fabric technology and design. They block excessive sunlight while maintaining a consistent indoor temperature, thereby reducing the demand on heating and cooling systems. They retain heat in winter and keep your home cool in summer, maintaining year-round comfort and producing measurable savings on electric bills through superior energy management.
Bay, picture, and dormer windows rarely pair well with shutters because their unique shapes demand more flexible coverings. For a cleaner fit and better performance, choose treatments tailored to those dimensions—think custom shades, drapes, or valances that accentuate the architecture instead of competing with it.
