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.
"Some of the worst service and product I have ever received. Drapes did not fit the windows after the roomsbeautiful "specialists" did their measurements. Drapes arrived crumpled into a small box- which require professional steaming and ironing to straighten. Even so, they tell me if can do it myself, and the drapes looks even worse after ironing. The lining that THEY selected for me looks like reflective trash bags up in my windo from outside. I also expressed concern that I should only get one window treated first as a test, before committing to all 5- and the roomsbeautiful agent persuaded me to just do all 5. So I spend 2000 on these Drapes, which I will never in a thousand years put up in my home. And they won't accept refunds, and they only take zelle payments which cannot be reversed or argued. So WARNING: do not trust this company, and do NOT give them your money!!!"

"I planned a big party for my only son’s high school graduation this past June. Friends and family came as far as California to attend, and I hosted them at my house. I wanted to refresh the guest spaces (bedrooms and lower level) so ordered new carpeting. I bought carpet from Connie at Home Depot in Asheville on May 27th, and she rushed the order for installation prior to June 15th (graduation weekend). However, when the carpet arrived at my home on June 12, the installers discovered that the person who measured my rooms, had made mistakes by confusing the rooms and measurements so that the truck had the wrong carpeting, in the wrong amounts, and even some missing! I agreed to let them install what they had on the truck because I’d packed the house up in preparation, and my guests arrived in two days. The installers pulled out the old carpeting upstairs and exposed the sub floor in the hallway and my son’s room. Then they rolled out the new carpeting to cut, and saw it was moldy and dirty. I decided not to continue with the installation. A new team of installers came out 2 weeks later and discovered the measurements of the rooms were mis-labeled and incorrect in places, and again carpeting was missing. After lengthy conversations with the Installers, I decided to visit my local store and speak directly to management, who said the installer would be back the next day with the correct carpeting, but likely they wouldn’t have enough.(?) From June 12th (the original installation date) until now, July 7th my life has changed. I’ve been accepted to a Culinary School in California. I now need to rent my house to pay for my lodging while going to school. The color of carpeting that I originally chose is too light for a rental property, and so I asked if I could (as long as the carpet hasn’t been installed yet) change the color. Management said that I could as long as I paid 20% restock fee ($1500!). I couldn’t believe it. I suggested that if they’d installed the carpet on June 12th that I’d just accept the color, but since they hadn’t—perhaps we could even split the restock fee? They refused. I reluctantly agreed to let them install them install the originally ordered carpet. I feel coerced. I STILL do not have carpeting in my home that I paid $8000 for in May! I have not heard from Home Depot, and my house is still packed. The graduation has come and gone, and still exposed staples and nails riddle the floor in my upstairs hallway and the entrance to my son’s room. It’s hazardous to walk. I told the management of Home Depot about this, and still no carpet. I feel disappointed, angry and have lost faith in Home Depot. Home Depot insisted that I pay 100% of the carpet and installation up front. If they didn’t have my money—I’d choose to do business elsewhere."

Yes! If your shutters have minor issues like broken hinges or misaligned panels, they can usually be repaired to restore their function and appearance. Repairing your shutters is often a cost-effective way to maintain their durability and curb appeal. However, for vinyl and composite shutters with extensive damage, it might be more practical to replace them to ensure they perform well in the long run.
Replacing a shutter costs $250 to $700 on average, and this cost covers both removal and installation processes. The expense includes proper disposal of the old shutter and ensures that a new, secure shutter system is installed. Additional fees may arise based on disposal requirements and professional service protocols.
Replacing shutters is not a complex undertaking when proper care is taken. The process requires careful alignment, precise fit, and secure fastening to ensure that the shutters function correctly and enhance the home's appearance. Attention to detail during removal and installation is critical, and skilled professionals provide the expertise needed to maintain both safety and design integrity.
Window shutters cost between $25 and $500 per panel, and this price range reflects the variety of materials and design options available. The cost stated excludes additional hardware and installation fees, which ensure the shutters are securely fixed and aesthetically pleasing. High-quality components lead to long-lasting performance while professional installation safeguards proper alignment.
Window shutters last between 20 and 25 years on average when they are properly maintained. Regular cleaning, timely repairs, and refinishing help protect the shutter's integrity and appearance throughout its expected lifespan. Consistent upkeep preserves functionality and ensures that shutters continue to provide protection and enhance the home's curb appeal over the long term.
