Complete Curtain, Blind, and Shade Installation Services

Our technicians install customer-supplied window treatments with the precision of a dedicated installer and the versatility of a trusted handyman team. We ensure consistent heights across rooms, proper alignment for multiple windows, and secure anchoring into studs or the correct hardware for drywall, plaster, or masonry.

Window Treatments We Install

• Single and double curtain rods, including decorative and blackout setups

• Faux wood blinds, mini blinds, and vertical blinds

• Cellular shades, roller shades, and Roman shades

• Valances and light-filtering or room-darkening solutions

• Repairs and re-hanging of existing blinds, brackets, and rods

If you’re replacing older treatments, we can remove outdated hardware and patch minor mounting holes so your new installation looks clean—not like a quick swap. If you’re still shopping, we can guide you on sizing and mounting style before you buy so your products arrive ready to install.

Inside Mount vs. Outside Mount Blinds

Choosing the right mounting style affects both appearance and performance.

Inside Mount

• Installed within the window frame

• Clean, built-in look

• Requires sufficient depth and a square opening

Outside Mount

• Installed on the wall or trim above the window

• Better light blockage and privacy

• Ideal for shallow frames or imperfect openings

Professional measuring helps avoid light gaps, uneven results, and costly returns—especially for custom products.

Curtain Rod Length and Placement Best Practices

Proper rod placement is what makes curtains look tailored instead of cramped.

Key Placement Guidelines

• Extend rods beyond the window so panels stack off the glass

• Mount higher to create the illusion of taller ceilings

• Use center support brackets for long or heavy spans

• Allow proper clearance so panels glide smoothly

Because stud placement rarely matches decorative ideals, correct anchors and bracket selection are essential for safety and durability.

Installing Blinds on Vinyl, Metal, or Aluminum Windows

Homeowners often ask about no-drill options for vinyl windows. In some cases, tension systems or specialty brackets may work, but heavier blinds and frequently used shades usually require secure fastening to stay level long-term.

For metal or aluminum frames, installation requires the correct fasteners, drill bits, and corrosion-aware hardware—and sometimes mounting to adjacent trim or wall surfaces is the better solution. Our team evaluates each window and recommends the safest, most durable approach.
