"David, the owner was very pleasant over the phone, and willing to agree to a price that I felt comfortable with. Gary was experienced, professional and handled my 15 year old window treatments with great care. When he returned, he re-installed the drapes with meticulous care, and he hung them even better than they were before. I would highly recommend them!"

"Frank installed a custom screen for an 8' x 2' long narrow window. When I described the window's operation as being similar to a door opening - he brought over a sample proposal which we were able to insert in a lower corner of the window. Having proved the concept - Frank set out to have the custom screen built (locally) and personally installed it. Result: almost unnoticeable. I'd definitely recommend his work."

"I had a ceiling fan replaced and several light switches changed throughout my home, and I couldn’t be happier with the results. He arrived on time, was professional, courteous, and clearly knowledgeable. The work was completed efficiently, everything was installed correctly, and the area was left clean when the job was finished. The new ceiling fan works perfectly, and all of the switches were replaced without any issues. I appreciated the attention to detail and the clear communication throughout the process. It’s refreshing to work with someone who takes pride in their craftsmanship and treats your home with respect. I would definitely hire them again."
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.
