Why Should I Invest in Pro Window Treatment Installation?
Custom shutters, blinds, and shades are built to the measurements taken at your windows, and installation day is when you find out whether they fit and work. Someone has to level each bracket, set each shutter frame square, and mount the safety devices where they go.
At Metro Shutters & Blinds, we’re that someone.
We measure and install custom window treatments with our own in-house crew, and we’re here to share what that work gets you compared to doing it yourself.
DIY vs. Professional Window Treatment Installation
Installing custom blinds, shades, or plantation shutters yourself means making several choices that affect the final product. When installing window treatments, you’re generally deciding between an inside or outside mount, marking bracket spots on every window, drilling into wood, drywall, or tile, and lifting each window covering into its brackets.
A bracket set a little low or crooked leaves you with extra holes in your trim to patch, and an incorrect measurement can mean waiting for a re-order of your custom treatment.
Our expertly trained crew has done it all. We’ve worked with everything, including around deep sills, odd window sizes, and openings that are slightly out of square, and we plan for those details before anything gets drilled.
Window Treatment Installation Starts With the Measurement
We build or custom-order every blind, shade, and interior shutter in our collection to the width and height we measure at your window. This type of attention to detail ensures that each one sits evenly inside the frame and covers the glass edge-to-edge.
As a good-to-know, custom window treatment orders may take several weeks, usually about 3 to 4 weeks. When yours are ready, our in-house installation team hangs them, since we keep every installation in our own hands and off the schedules of outside contractors.
Plantation Shutters Installation Calls for a Seamless Fit
We build our own interior shutters in our shop, from 100% basswood or a composite material that resists warping, bowing, and yellowing. Each shutter has a frame that attaches to the window, keeping the panels flush and square even when the window opening is slightly uneven.
Interior shutters installation means setting that frame so every panel swings open and closes flat against the frame, with the louvers lined up from one panel to the next. Shutters stay on the window as a permanent part of the room, so we take the time to set them right the first time.
Safety and Motorization in Window Treatment Installation Services
Some window shades use a continuous cord loop, and the industry safety standard calls for a tension device that keeps the loop pulled tight against the wall or window frame.
That device has to be installed correctly for the shade to operate, so we mount it where it belongs and test the shade before we leave, so you can rest knowing it’s done right from the start.
Then there are motorized window treatments to consider. Hunter Douglas blinds and shades with PowerView® Automation also need to be set up inside your home. We pair each shade with the preferred control option, so they move the way you expect from day one.
What Are the Benefits of Pro Window Treatment Installation?
Here are some benefits that you may experience when our team handles the window treatment installation for you:
- Having one in-house crew measure and install, so the folks hanging your treatments already know your windows.
- Checking that every blind and shade raises and lowers evenly, and every custom shutter panel closes flat before we pack up.
- Placing cord tension devices and other safety parts exactly where the manufacturer specifies.
- Getting to skip buying drill bits and anchors, climbing a ladder at each window, and guessing at bracket placement.
- Having one local company to call if anything needs an adjustment later.
