"Did not recieve the estimate after the consultant arrived. When I called back received the estimate very quickly. However the estimate was over 20K for 15 plantation shutter windows which is about double any of the other estimates."

"Victory came to give a quote to fix my double pane window and clean the inside the double pane. I hired him on the spot. Nobody can fix windows like Victor for a very fair price. I’m very pleased with the repair and it looks like a new window. I highly recommend hiring Victor to repair and clean your windows."

"I am so happy with my Made in the Shade experience. Will is great at what he does, he made the whole project so easy. He is knowledgeable about all different types and brands of blinds, and he helped me decide what would be best for our house. He was professional and friendly, he did a great job cleaning up after himself during the installation, and the price was way better than I could find anywhere else. I would highly recommend using Made in the Shade if you re looking for blinds or any other type of window coverings!"

"Sam did great work assembling a dresser for us that took time and patience. All parts lined up well, drawers were even and functioned perfectly. We were grateful to have the help or this would have otherwise been a box of parts sitting for a long time before we would have worked up the nerve to build it ourselves."

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.
