"We bought solar shades - an amazing product - we had a problem with the ultimate product - these shades reflect the defaults of the window - Three Blind Mice helped us get a replacement color to offset the extremely old and scarred windows that were reflecting. thank you Three Blind Mice for helping us get the blind replaced."

"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."

"Hello, I went on Angie’s list to find an installer for window coverings that I purchased from Costco. Younan the owner of the company called me within minutes. The price he quoted me to install these window coverings was completely in line. I hired him immediately and agreed on price and timeframe to install. Today he arrived with his son and six widows where completed in 1:30 minutes. He was so professional that my wife and I are going to hire Younan to do nine widows and a sliding glass door. I would highly recommend this company for window coverings on quality, price, and expertise!"

"Ed , the contractor from The Shutter Doctor was absolutely great. He arrived on time, reviewed the repairs that needed to be done with me and went to work. He also offered to adjust an upper part of my shutter doors that was never installed correctly and they finally look finished. His price was fair and his work ethic was better than expected. Also, he has a great sense of humor and I would definitely recommend him for any job related to shutters, window or doors. Georgia Kennedy, Palm Desert, Ca."

"The shutters themselves are very well-made and are perfect fitting and beautiful. Every work phase with this Company went along extremely well as per the contract. Everyone at Avalon was helpful, knowledgeable and friendly/patient. They kept me advised throughout the waiting time, and even beat my expectations for timely completion. Excellent service."

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.
