"I had a skylight covering installed in my unit. I used North Jersey Blinds and they didnâ t disappoint. Best decision made. The installer was great. He was on time on the day of install, very friendly and left everything cleaned up when he was done with the job. I would highly recommend North Jersey Blinds to anyone for any window covering need. Great job and competitive pricing!"

"A wonderful experience! David and Gary are true professionals; they know their business well and went out of their way to reassure us. I was initially concerned that the drapes and valences would not be put back properly -- but that was not the case. Everything was rehung to perfection. I would heartily recommend their services."

"I have a 115 year old home with slanted and wonky windows. I’ve wanted shades on my 10 (!) sunroom windows for the last few years. Alan spent the day installing them- staying well longer than what he probably anticipated making sure everything looked perfect. He is meticulous! We will absolutely use him again. Thank you Alan!! XOXO"

"I found By Demand Installers to be prompt, professional and their work was excellent and installed my draperies to my satisfaction...even assisted me in ordering additional fabric to complete the window treatment, when I thought that the fabric was no longer available. I would definitely use them again and recommend them to friends."

"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."

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.
