"Ordering and installation were flawless. The shades took a little longer to arrive but that was not under the control of Kathy's Shade Shop."

"John Irato with Better Blinds Plus knows his product, and isn't just out to make a sale. Pointed out that while the "best quality" blinds would be perfect for the main floor, we could actually go with a budget look alike downstairs in the "man cave/ office" and guest room. He covers an amazing amount of territory, so his timeliness wasn't the greatest, but who hasn't gotten stuck in unpredictable traffic? Life happens, and he was on top of letting us know his new arrival time the moment he could! If we had more windows, I'd hire him again."

"Excellent. Dan responded to my request for a quote the same day, and I had the blinds cleaned the following day. They look like new. So great to have a service that comes to the home. Watching the ultrasonic cleaning being performed is really cool. I had qualms about getting up on a ladder to take them down and then dropping them off at a separate blind/shade cleaner."

"I had new windows installed and the installers removed my old blinds. I needed blinds immediately and called numerous contractors. Morris Designer Blinds was the only company that could complete the job in what I felt was a reasonable timeframe. They not only did a great job, the cost was very reasonable. I would adamantly recommend them for any custom blind job."

"Excellent company to work with. Dennis was on time and got us our estimate the same day. He helped us select the right product and consider options we had not thought of. Style and colors he helped us choose are perfect. The shades actually arrived earlier then estimated and Dennis was out in two days to complete the install. What a difference they make in the look and feel of the room. Quality product, great pricing, and expert installation. Great job!"

"We had a good experience with them. Considering the other quotes that we got, their price was reasonable. We talked to 6 different companies. Wellington was the company we liked the best because of the construction of their windows. George was the guy that came out. He was very nice and a great man. They came when it was cold out too."
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.
