Blinds and Shades Install in Garland, Rowlett and Rockwall

Blinds look simple until the brackets do not line up, the headrail sits crooked, or a screw spins in old drywall. A good install starts with the right mount for the window, brackets set level, and screws into solid material so the blinds raise, lower, and tilt smoothly for years.

We install blinds and shades you bought, measure first if you have not ordered yet, take down and dispose of the old ones, and hang curtain rods in the same visit. New homes in Fate, Forney, and Sachse often have every window bare at move-in, and we can cover the whole house in one trip. Offices, storefronts, and rentals get the same care.

Homes and small businesses. We handle blinds and shades for houses, rentals, offices, and storefronts. Tell us about building access and parking when you ask for a quote.

What we do

Common blinds and shades jobs we handle. Mix and match them, or add other small projects to the same visit.

Measuring before you order

Inside and outside measurements per window, written down so you can order the right size.

Inside vs. outside mount

Inside mounts need enough window depth; outside mounts cover the trim. We check which fits each window.

Faux wood and vinyl blinds

Two-inch faux wood and vinyl blinds, with valances clipped on straight.

Cellular, roller, and roman shades

Light-filtering and blackout shades, including top-down bottom-up styles.

Cordless and motorized (battery)

Cordless styles for homes with kids, and battery or rechargeable motorized shades.

Curtain rods and drapery hardware

Single and double rods, traverse rods, and extra-wide rods with center supports.

Old blind removal

Old blinds and brackets taken down, holes filled, and the old blinds bagged for disposal.

Offices and rentals

Matching blinds across a whole office or rental unit, installed in one visit.

What affects the cost

Number of windows. Most blind jobs are priced per window. Whole-house installs are more efficient per window.
Window size and type. Very wide windows, bay windows, arched tops, and patio doors take longer.
Mounting surface. Wood trim is quick. Metal frames, tile, brick, and stone need special bits and anchors.
Height. Two-story windows and stairwell windows need taller ladders and extra care.
Removal of old blinds. Taking down old blinds, filling holes, and disposal add a little time per window.

How to prepare

Have the blinds on site and unopened, with each hardware bag kept with its box.
Label boxes by room or window if sizes differ.
Send a photo of each window showing the frame depth.
Clear sills and move furniture about three feet from the windows.
Decide inside or outside mount for each window, or ask us to check.
For motorized shades, charge the batteries ahead of time.

What is not included

Hardwired motorized shades and any wiring
Custom window treatment design and sewing
Ordering custom blinds on your behalf (we measure; you order)
Window glass or window replacement

Licensed trades. We do not do electrical or plumbing work that requires a licensed trade. If part of your job needs an electrician or plumber, we tell you up front.

Texas and DFW notes

West-facing windows and heat

Late-day sun on west windows in North Texas is intense. Vinyl blinds can warp in very high heat, so faux wood, cellular shades, or solar shades usually hold up better on those windows.

Old vinyl mini blinds

In 1996 the US Consumer Product Safety Commission warned that some older imported vinyl mini blinds contained lead. If you are replacing very old blinds, bag them for disposal instead of cutting them down.

Cords and young children

Safety groups recommend cordless window coverings in homes with young children. We can swap corded blinds as part of childproofing.

Common questions

Can you measure before I buy?

Yes. Many people book a short measuring stop first, then order the blinds and book the install.

Do you sell blinds?

No. You choose and order them, which keeps your options open. We can tell you which mount and size to order.

Do you handle offices and small businesses?

Yes. We install blinds in homes and businesses, and can match a whole office or rental unit.

What if the window frame is metal or tile?

We use the right drill bits and anchors for the material. Tell us in your photos so we bring them.

Can you hang curtain rods in the same visit?

Yes. Rods, brackets, and center supports are often done alongside blinds.

Do you install motorized shades?

Yes, battery and rechargeable motorized shades. We do not install hardwired shades, because those need electrical work.

How long does a whole house take?

It depends on the number and type of windows. We estimate from your photos and tell you before the visit.
