Questions

Window treatment questions, answered plainly.

About blinds, shades, shutters, draperies, measuring, mounts, motors, child safety and scheduling.

Getting started

Is the estimate really free?

Yes. The Free Estimate comes with no obligation. You see the products, the sizes and the schedule in writing before anything is ordered.

What areas do you serve?

Nashville and nearby communities across Middle Tennessee, including Franklin, Brentwood, Hendersonville, Mt. Juliet, Smyrna and more. See the service areas page for the full list.

What do you do?

Custom blinds, shades, shutters, drapery, motorization, light control, repairs and installation for homes and businesses.

Can I hire you for just one window?

Yes. Many calls are for a single bedroom, a sliding door or a repair, and we welcome them as much as a whole-home project.

Blinds, shades and shutters

What is the difference between blinds and shades?

Blinds use slats that tilt to control light, and shades use a continuous fabric that raises and lowers. We show both in your own window so you can compare.

Are shutters better than blinds?

Shutters are sturdy and look built-in, and blinds are lighter and often more flexible in size and price. We explain tradeoffs for each room.

What are cellular shades?

Cellular shades have honeycomb pockets that trap air, which adds softness and can help with energy use. They come in light-filtering and blackout styles.

Measuring and mounts

Do you measure the windows?

Yes. We measure each window, check depth and obstructions and write the finished sizes down before ordering.

Inside mount or outside mount?

An inside mount sits in the window frame for a clean look, and an outside mount sits on the wall or trim and can make a window look larger. We help you choose by window.

Can you cover odd shapes?

Often yes. Arches, angles, bays and skylights have special options, and we measure carefully before ordering.

Safety, power and light

Are cordless options available?

Yes. Cordless and motorized options are popular for homes with children and pets, and we explain how each one works.

Can shades be motorized?

Most shade and blind styles can be motorized with battery, solar or wired power, and many can be controlled by remote, wall switch, app or voice.

How dark can a room get?

Blackout shades and drapes with side channels or returns can make a room very dark. We explain how much light leaks around each style.

Scheduling and prep

How long do custom orders take?

Many custom treatments take a few weeks to make after the order is placed. We give you a written timeline for your project.

Do I need to be home for installation?

An adult usually needs to let us in and approve placement. We tell you how long the visit should take.

How early should I book?

As early as you can. Moves, holidays and spring and fall are busy, and fabric lead times can add weeks.
