Blind and shade installation

This is what I actually do for a living. Certified professional installer, correct brackets, correct depth, level across the whole run.

Pricing. Every job is quoted before I start, and the number I give you is the number you pay. There is a $125 minimum for any visit — that is the price of a truck showing up, and it is exactly why I will come out for one small job when most contractors will not. Tell me what you need and I will get you a number.

The difference this makes

Most handymen will hang a blind. Whether it operates smoothly in three years is a different question. Inside mount versus outside mount, bracket placement relative to the headrail, depth clearance for the stack, level across a bank of windows that is not itself level — these are the things that separate a treatment that works from one that binds, sags, or will not close all the way.

I came up in a family window treatment business and I hold a professional installer certification. This is the one service on my list where I am not competing on price, and I do not think you should shop it on price either.

What I install

  • Horizontal and vertical blinds, faux wood and real wood
  • Roller, cellular, honeycomb, Roman and woven shades
  • Motorized and battery-operated shades, including app pairing
  • Plantation shutters
  • Curtain rods, traverse rods, hardware and drapery hanging
  • Valances, cornices and returns

Bought online and it does not fit?

Common problem. Ordered-online treatments are frequently a half inch off, ordered for the wrong mount type, or arrive with hardware that does not suit the window. Bring me in before you send them back — a fair number of those are fixable on site.

Questions I get

Do you sell blinds too?

I install. If you want help sourcing, I know the products well and can point you toward what actually holds up.

Can you handle motorized shades?

Yes, including mounting, wiring or battery setup, and pairing to the app or remote.

What about high or hard-to-reach windows?

Fine, within ladder reach. Two-story entry windows and stairwell windows get quoted on site.
