"Made in the Shade was awesome. Brad Hicks knows his product line which for me was the Graber Sheer Shades. The installation went flawlessly. Unlike other companies, he came to the house, gave good feedback and a reasonable price. Highly recommend Made in the Shade!!!"

"Well, the blinds were installed. I had over 20 windows in the entire house so it wasn't cheap, but still good value. Teresa was on time and very nice to work with. However, they were several days later than scheduled. Then, when the guys got here they didn't speak English, so my roommate (I was out of town) couldn't communicate with them. When I got back, there were piles of nails on the floor, which I later learned was because the top board for the blinds was only screwed in the center, the sides were not, so they wobble and are not fastened properly. Tags still on all the blinds. It was a lazy job. I never received a follow-up call to check to see if I was happy with the service or anything. I even paid $1 over to round up the check lol. I paid in full prior to the work, which was a mistake on my part. Overall okay. Just make sure to be on site when it gets installed and make sure you can communicate with them."
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.
