Wherever you're starting from
Updating your home
Start with the rooms you use most. The guide shows what one room costs as well as a whole house.
Just moved in
Most people cover bedrooms and bathrooms first, then the main living spaces. Installation usually takes 3 to 6 weeks from order.
Renovating
Choose window treatments before the walls are finished, so hardware and wiring are planned in, not added on.
Building a new home
Wiring a window for a motorized shade is a small job during framing and a much bigger one after drywall. Ask about our Free Pre-Drywall Walkthrough.

Is it really free?
Yes. Enter your email and the PDF arrives in about a minute.
Will someone call me?
No. We follow up by email and text only. You book a consultation only if and when you want one.
Are these real prices?
They're typical installed ranges for full-service custom treatments in the Triangle in 2026. Your exact price depends on window size, fabric and options.
I'm only doing a room or two. Is this useful?
Yes. The per-window prices apply to one room as much as a whole house.
We haven't broken ground yet. Is it too early?
No. Planning is easiest before drywall goes up, and the guide shows what to decide when.
