With decades of experience, we are your expert source for the perfect window treatment solution. We want to educate
you on the best window treatment solution for your space and bring samples of that product directly to your home. We feel that the customer should not only be thrilled with their window treatment purchase but should fully understand why they made the investment in that specific product. As a small independent company, we have the freedom to source the highest quality products from around the world. Our partners lead the industry in warranties and customer service. These include: Lafayette Interior Fashions™, Hunter Douglas®, Norman® Window Fashions, Somfy®, Horizons™, Kirsch®, and Orion Ornamental Iron, Inc. – just to name a few!
With our onsite consultation, we bring the store to you.

In-Home Consultation
On-line and in-store shopping serve a purpose, but not when it comes to your window treatments! Our in-home sales consultation is necessary to make sure we address the right solution for your windows, and that the colors and textures complement your space.
Product Selection
Many people think that design is the most important decision on window treatments. But there are 4 factors that should be considered first: light control, insulation, privacy, and operation. Addressing these 4 factors will narrow the field for the window coverings that are right for your window. Then, the beautiful design options of that solution can be explored, knowing that this will complement the function of your investment!
Professional Measuring
Most likely, your window treatment expert will take measurements the same day as your free consultation! Our sales teams understand where and why the brackets will be mounted. They look for and notate installation challenges that most people would never see. Our educated sales staff know that accurate measuring avoids costly mistakes and ensures a smooth installation.
Product Procurement
With a background in installation and repair, we fully trust the products we install. Our suppliers include some big names, but even within those companies are a product or two that we just don’t have full faith in. We want you to have the best finished product when we walk out the door. It very rarely happens, but we will refuse to sell a product if we know you will not be happy with the result. We would rather lose a sale than to have you less than thrilled with your window treatments!
Professional Installation
Only on rare occasions when your sales team notices an installation challenge, or if there is more than one way the product could be installed, then they will let you know that one of our installation experts will come out to verify their measures. This is so that on installation day everything goes smoothly! When you schedule your installation, you will get to meet more of the family! The backbone of our business is good communication, continuing education on our products, strong family values, and having a duplicatable process from the first phone call or email all the way to installation day.
