"HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!!! We hired Namaste, a local father-and-son handyman team, to assemble some outdoor patio furniture. Both their work and overall demeanor far exceeded our expectations—extremely professional and efficient; friendly and personable; great pre-and post-job communication; and they came in on budget!! We couldn’t have asked for more. We will definitely be using them again for future jobs (e.g., power-washing house and windows; outdoor repairs)."

"Our landscaping in Menlo Park needed a complete refresh. The team replaced thirsty plants with drought-tolerant options that still provide plenty of color and curb appeal. We're using much less water without sacrificing appearance."

"Removal of 1930’s cracked stucco wall in back yard. Replaced with grape-stake fencing. In the early phase of the project, we sat down with Joe and went over design ideas and cost. He was fun to work with. He really listened to what we wanted and gave input when we asked. The team finished the project a day early and came in under budget. We love the end result."

Growing up in an automotive restoration shop while helping rebuild homes for my uncle, a property developer, taught me the value of craftsmanship, attention to detail, and doing things the right way. I've developed a passion for restoring and improving just about anything, always going above and beyond to ensure every project is completed with the same care and pride as if it were my own. My goal is simple: deliver quality work that's built to last.
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.
