Common Window Covering Service Questions

In most cases, custom window treatments are well worth the investment. Custom window treatments not only elevate your curb appeal and make your home more visually pleasing inside, but they also often do a better job of boosting your home’s energy efficiency than non-custom treatments, and they usually last longer. Plus, specialty window treatments can increase your home value if maintained well, so your investment is more worthwhile in the long run in most cases, too.

Custom window treatments cost around $900 per window, and prices usually fall between $150 and $4,800. Your total will depend on many factors, including the type of window treatment, the amount and size of the windows, your home’s location, and the labor cost. Blinds and shutters tend to be the most affordable custom window treatments at $600 to $2,700, and the most expensive options are valances, drapes, curtains, and estate shutters, costing up to $3,000.

Energy-efficient window treatments are a very big trend these days. Manufacturers offer shades that better block out the sunlight, lowering energy costs and therefore your electric bill.

If properly maintained, cellular shades should last between five to seven years. This makes them on the lower end of the lifespan spectrum, which other higher quality shades materials like wood lasting closer to 10 to 15 years.

Custom window treatments provide many benefits over prefabricated treatments. Consider the following advantages of installing one-of-a-kind window treatments:

  • They block more light when they’re closed.

  • They provide a significant increase in home energy efficiency.

  • They can better protect your furniture and floors from UV damage.

  • They can help make your living space temperature more comfortable and even.

  • They improve your curb appeal.

  • They tend to last longer than prefabricated treatments.

  • They add more to your home’s value.
