"Made in the Shade was great. Service was top notch, Ernie and his team were on time for our consultation and install. Made the process so easy for me and my wife. We felt like we were in good hands throughout the process. I would highly recommend Made in the Shade for any window treatments ."

"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."

"Michael painted all of our interior window and door trims, as well as our entire dining room. He was very detail oriented and made sure the job was done well to his own very high standards. The job required extra care to tape every edge and the dining room required multiple coats to make sure the covering was just right. Michael is very friendly and a pleasure to have working in our home."

"junior started exactly on time every day & worked late if rain was forecast the following days. He did exactly what we wanted & made suggestions that we agreed to. Work was impeccable. He & his employees were polite & the work they did was worth every dollar we spent. They did several minor things for no charge. He is now our go-to guy when we need things done. There is nothing he and his employees cannot do. Refurbished our 28x18deck. Replaced many sections of our post & rail fence. Opened our pool. Cut down 4 trees. Cut them up. Cut up our 50 year old tree house that fell. Ordered the dumpsters & loaded them. Replaced the deck furniture. Put the cover & curtains on the gazebo. Removed deteriorated cover on port.able 10x20 portable garage & installed new one. Cleared leaves from greenery in front of house & planted 3 new arborvitae. Refurbished our deteriorating bow window. He & his crew are Amazing!!!"

"David did a great job and sure was dependable. He came when he said he would, did what he said he would do and charged what he said he would. He repaired a 20 x 20 foot roof that fell in last winter. Reused as much of the old structure as he could to keep the cost down. I have already hired him for another project."

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.
