Luxurious custom-made drapes, swags, valances, panels, roman shades with very low price. Service nation-wide, free shipping to any address in the US and Canada. Please check us out--lots of elegant styles and fabric choices. You can easily install the drapes yourself with our unique easy-mount hardware, save lots of money over high-priced designers, shops and expensive installers! Windows are key components of a room, and selecting the appropriate treatments for them will enrich the design of both the windows and the room. A well crafted window treatment can instantly transform your house into a luxury paradise. Among all your decoration investments, a window treatment from us is perhaps the least expensive with big impact. It is much more affordable than a sofa, a dresser, a table, and even a chair... but delivers far more stunning results than any single furniture. Although we just recently joined Angie's List (that's why we don't have any comments in here yet), we have been doing business locally for over 14 years and have lots of compliments from our customers. We can send you our previous works and references.
"Turned out precisely as I had hoped, despite many alterations I requested to the example on their website. The fabric quality was excellent. We used them in 2015, and expect to use them again on a new project."

"ON 3/20/2018 I HAD CAR TOWED TO XENIA GLASS & LOCK TO CUT AND PROGRAM NEW KEY FOR MY MERCURY COUGAR. THEY CALLED ME TO PICK UP CAR ON 3/21/2018. AFTER THEY PROGRAMMED KEY, THE CAR WOULD NOT START. THE CAR RAN FINE BEFORE KEY REPLACEMENT. BRIAN SAID THAT “SOMETHING ELSE WAS WRONG WITH MY CAR BECAUSE HE IS A PROFESSIONAL - HE HAD BEEN DOING THIS FOR 18 YEARS.” ON 3/22/2018 I HAD THE CAR TOWED TO SELECT AUTO REPAIR AND HAD A DIAGNOSTIC RUN. RODNEY INFORMED ME THAT IT WAS THE ‘PATS’ (PASSIVE ANTI-THEFT SYSTEM) CODES AND SAID IT WAS A KEY RELATED ISSUE AND THAT IT COULD POSSIBLY BE BECAUSE THEY USED AN AFTERMARKET UNAPPROVED UNOFFICIAL KEY. AFTER CONTACTING XENIA GLASS AND INFORMING BRIAN OF THE DIAGNOSTIC, BRIAN WENT TO SELECT AUTO AND GOT INTO A DISPUTE WITH RODNEY FROM SELECT AUTO REGARDING THE DIAGNOSIS. RODNEY THEN CALLED ME AND TOLD ME TO “GET MY CAR OFF OF HIS LOT IMMEDIATELY OR HE WOULD HAVE IT IMPOUNDED BECAUSE BRIAN CAME THERE AND STARTED AN ARGUMENT WITH HIM AND HE DID NOT WANT TO GET INVOLVED.” ON 3/23/2018 I HAD CAR TOWED BACK TO XENIA GLASS AND ASKED BRIAN TO CUT AND PROGRAM NEW KEY. ON 3/27/2018 BRIAN CUT AND PROGRAMMED SECOND KEY AND THE CAR STILL WOULD NOT START. ON 3/28/2018 I HAD CAR TOWED TO GERMAIN FORD EXPLAINED ISSUES AND THEY STATED THAT THE CAR MUST HAVE OFFICIAL FORD APPROVED AND PROGRAMMED KEYS TO WORK. I HAD THEM ORDER NEW APPROVED KEYS TO CUT AND PROGRAM. GERMAIN FORD ATTEMPTED TO PROGRAM WITH THE APPROVED KEYS AND SOFTWARE, HOWEVER THE CAR STILL WOULD NOT START. THEY RAN SEVERAL DIAGNOSTICS AND DETERMINED THE SAME AS SELECT AUTO REPAIR – IT WAS THE PATS MODULE AND A KEY PROGRAMMING ISSUE. SHAWN CALDWELL FROM GERMAIN FORD INFORMED ME THAT IT IS HIS AND THE TECHNICIAN’S OPINION THAT THE DAMAGE OCCURRED BECAUSE XENIA GLASS PROGRAMED AN UNAPPROVED AND UNOFFICIAL AFTERMARKET KEY WITHOUT OFFICIAL FORD PROGRAMMING SOFTWARE WHICH CORRUPTED THE PATS MODULE. I ASKED THEM TO REPLACE THE PATS MODULE. THEY WERE UNABLE TO LOCATE THE PART AS FORD CONSIDERS THIS PART OBSOLETE DUE TO IT BEING A 2002 MODEL. THE CAR CANNOT BE REPAIRED AND IS CONSIDERED TOTALED AS THE COST TO REPAIR VEHICLE IS MORE THAN VALUE OF CAR. I SPOKE WITH JOHN MARSDEN WITH XENIA GLASS AND WHILE ON THE PHONE HE PUT ME ON BRIEF HOLD AND SPOKE WITH BRIAN. JOHN CAME BACK TO THE PHONE AND SAID TO GET THE DOCUMENTATION FROM GERMAIN FORD AND XENIA GLASS WOULD FILE INSURANCE CLAIM. AFTER I RECEIVED THE DOCUMENTATION I CONTACTED XENIA GLASS AND FORWARDED THE INVOICE FROM GERMAIN FORD TO GET CLAIM GOING. ERIC HOLSTON CALLED ME BACK AND GOT VERY RUDE ACCUSING ME OF JUST TRING TO GET A NEW CAR AND SAID THEY WERE NOT GOING TO PAY FOR DAMAGES. I TOLD ERIC I WAS NOT GOING TO ARGUE WITH HIM THAT WE WOULD LET THE INSURANCE HANDLE IT. ERIC REFUSED TO FILE CLAIM AND REFUSED TO GIVE ME THEIR INSURANCE OR BOND INFORMATION. AS OF THIS POINT THE INCIDENTAL CHARGES RESULTING ARE $697.85 AND STILL NO VEHICLE: $ 56.58 – XENIA GLASS & LOCK - CUT AND PROGRAM NEW KEY $130.00 – SELECT AUTO – TOW AND DIAGNOSTIC ($45.00 TOW + $85.00 DIAGNOSTIC) $155.00 – JOHNSON’S TOWING (3 TOWS) $356.27 – GERMAIN FORD (INVOICE ATTACHED) THE KBB AVERAGE PRIVATE PARTY VALUE IN GOOD CONDITION WITH CORRECT MILEAGE OF MY VEHICLE IS $2,248.00. ESTIMATED TOTAL DAMAGES AT THIS POINT ARE $2945.85. PLUS, TRANPORTATION EXPENSES FOR WORK DUE TO LOSS OF VEHICLE. AS I TOLD THEM, THE CAR RAN BEFORE KEY WAS REPLACED. THE DAMAGE TO MY VEHICLE IS A DIRECT RESULT OF PROGRAMMING AN UNAPPROVED AND UNOFFICIAL AFTERMARKET KEY WITH UNAPPROVED UNOFFICIAL PROGRAMING SOFTWARE. THE DAMAGED PART IS A CORRUPT ‘PATS’ (PASSIVE ANTI-THEFT SYSTEM) MODULE. I WOULD LIKE TO FILE AN INSURANCE CLAIM WITH THEIR BUSINESS INSURANCE."

If you're wondering whether repairing your blinds is worth it, consider the quality and age of your blinds. For high-end or custom blinds, repairing them can preserve their quality, functionality, and design, making repair a smart choice. Immediate repairs maintain the original look and performance. However, if your blinds are over six years old, extensively damaged, or of lower quality, replacing them might be more cost-effective, as new blinds offer better efficiency and modern technology. Weigh the repair costs against the benefits of replacement to make the best decision for your situation.
When damage undermines the integrity and appearance of your blinds, replacement becomes the clear option. You should replace your blinds when damage to slats or fabric prevents you from obtaining an exact match, thereby compromising appearance and function. Severe damage increases repair complexity and expense. Replacing blinds not only restores superior performance but also creates an opportunity for aesthetic upgrades and lasting benefits.
You should plan to replace your blinds at least every 10 years, with clear signs of wear, such as discoloration, deterioration, or functional issues, emerging by five years. Regular evaluation of style, quality, and performance supports an informed decision. While minor repairs may temporarily extend usability, a complete replacement secures optimal operation and updated design.
Establish a regular maintenance routine to keep your blinds looking and functioning their best. Clean them regularly with mild, specialized products and follow the manufacturer's recommended usage guidelines. UV-blocking window film can protect against fading and warping from sun exposure. Regular inspections and proactive maintenance will preserve their appearance and performance, extending their overall lifespan.
If you pull the blind string and it does not move, it indicates a malfunction in the mechanism, such as a broken cord, a jammed cord lock, or a stuck component. Inspect the string for breaks and examine the headrail for any obstructions. Replace the defective cord or cord lock as necessary to restore proper operation and maintain functionality.
Yes, you can replace your blind string yourself by using a replacement kit available at home improvement stores. Accurate measurement of the string diameter is essential for a perfect fit. Gather the necessary tools and follow the manufacturer’s instructions rigorously to secure a safe, lasting fix. If the task demands more time than anticipated, hiring a professional is advisable to avoid further damage.
