Common Questions
Custom Window Treatments NYC — FAQ
Do you install custom window treatments in Manhattan, Queens, and Long Island?
Yes — we serve all three areas with dedicated teams. We cover all Manhattan neighborhoods, all of Queens (from Astoria to Jamaica), and Nassau and Suffolk County on Long Island. Each consultation is free and done in your home.
What is the most popular window treatment for NYC apartments?
Motorized roller shades are the most popular choice for Manhattan apartments because they handle large windows cleanly and integrate with smart home systems. Blackout versions are ideal for city bedrooms where streetlights and sunrise are a problem.
How much do custom blinds cost in NYC?
Pricing depends on the material, size, and type of treatment. Roller shades typically start at a lower price point, while motorized shades, plantation shutters, and custom drapery are premium options. We offer choices at every budget — contact us for a free in-home estimate.
Do you offer free in-home consultations?
Yes. We bring fabric and material samples to your home, take precise measurements, and give you a full quote on the spot. There’s no obligation, and the consultation is completely free.
How long does installation take after I order?
Most custom window treatments are fabricated and ready to install within 2–3 weeks. Installation itself usually takes a single visit and is completed in a few hours depending on the number of windows.
Can you work with co-op and condo building requirements in Manhattan?
Absolutely. We are fully licensed and insured and routinely provide Certificates of Insurance (COI) that satisfy strict Manhattan building management requirements for co-ops and condos.
