You don’t need to have everything figured out, but a handful of choices shape your quote and install. Don’t worry about getting these perfect — we’ll walk you through each one:
Type — blinds and cellular (honeycomb) shades are both readily available. For fast move-in privacy, cellular shades are usually your best bet, with better light control and a cleaner look. If you’d rather go with basic blinds, we’ll make that work too. Want something specific that’s not on the shelf? We can order it — that’s the slower, full-selection path.
Blackout or light-filtering — blackout for bedrooms, nurseries, and anywhere you want it dark; light-filtering for privacy that still lets daylight through. You can mix and match room by room.
How it mounts — inset (inside the window opening, for a clean built-in look) or surface (on the wall or trim around the opening, better for blocking light gaps and handling shallow or irregular windows).
Spacing/offset — if inset, whether you want the shade flush to the outer edge, close to the glass, or centered in the opening. Minor, but it affects the look.
Who supplies the blinds — you already bought them and just need install (BYOB), or you want us to handle everything from sourcing to install.
Timing — daytime, evening, or weekend, and whether you need it right away or can schedule out. Urgency affects scheduling and pricing.
If any of this is unclear, that’s exactly what the conversation is for. Tell us your situation and we’ll help you land on the right calls.
