"Wanted Sunbrella shade in moss green color, they don't have those. They have a line on inside wood shutters. They didn't have the 2 inch inside shutters I needed for my windows in "moss green" color. They carry the standard 4 inch."

"I've never purchased custom blinds before so I didn't quite know what it would cost. My wife and I purchased 15 custom shades (top-down bottom-up) and the total came in around the $4K mark. The sales consultant was very transparent with cost and helped us work through options and explained the outcome. She even gave us general interior design assistance and looked at carpet samples when that contractor arrived! There was an ordering issue for five of our windows. Once identified it didn't take more than a few hours to find a solution. They ended up re-ordering (rush delivery) the correct coverings and even though we technically paid less than we should have the company honored our original quote. It wasn't seamless but their service showed when things went wrong and that's what I'd expect. I'd hire them again."

"Allen came just the day after I called him and did a great job on installing a new screen door and was very clean, neat and courteous. Just about a week or so later I called him again and had a new ceiling fan installed. His work was fast and neat. He always cleaned up the left over debris and was very kind. The prices were reasonable and I would definitely recommend him to my friends and family. Very professional business and yes I would hire him again !!"

Customers say: Quality work
"Kirk bought samples to my house of the colors I wanted and measured all my windows. He ordered the blinds and they came in within 8 days. He came back and put them all up in about 45 minutes one evening(15 blinds). The blinds for the doors took longer to come in but were still up within two weeks of ordering. He was courteous and wore footies so as not to get my carpet dirty. Wonderful to work with. Would like to give 6 out of 5 stars."

"Roberto fixed my fence, the toilet paper holder and a bed that 3 years ago I paid someone else to assemble but he did everything wrong. Roberto did an amazing job always in a good mood and helpful. Finally I found a reliable Handman for any other projects I need and finally he gave me a fair estimate, I was so happy with the results I tip him at the end."

"Solara of the Carolinas helped me design the perfect pergola for my outdoor kitchen. The design is custom, per my preferences, and they were more than willing to facilitate my requests. The louvers are motorized and automated based on weather. They were able to incorporate beautiful light fixtures that I had selected. I would 100% use them again and I highly recommend them to anyone in need of an outdoor covering."
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.
