When our design consultant arrives, they bring an extensive selection of physical samples and work through each room with you before anything is ordered. Every window gets careful, precise measurement, including skylights, sliding glass doors, and out-of-square frames that standard box-store solutions often can’t accommodate well.
We give you a realistic lead time at the time of the quote and send proactive updates throughout the project so there are no surprises. Your measurements are kept on file after installation, which means future shade projects in the same home can move faster and stay consistent.
Custom Shade Types We Offer
Every window has a job to do. We carry five core shade categories, each built for a distinct combination of function, light control, and style.
- Pleated Shades: Durable construction and fade-resistant fabrics that hold their shape and structure year after year, without drooping or sagging.
- Cellular Shades: Interconnected honeycomb pockets trap air and provide insulation, helping keep your home warmer in winter and cooler in summer. The U.S. Department of Energy recommends insulated cellular shades for windows that feel drafty.
- Roller Shades: Engineered for smooth, reliable operation with an extensive range of fabrics and patterns, and flexible integration into manual, motorized, or smart home control systems.
- Roman Shades: Soft, luxurious fabrics in flat, hobbled, or waterfall fold styles for a classic, tailored look.
- Outdoor Shades: Built to handle harsh weather while delivering privacy, sun protection, and a finished appearance for patios and outdoor living spaces.
Matching the Right Shade to Every Room
Different windows create different problems. Our room-by-room approach pairs each space with a solution that addresses it.
Bedrooms
Blackout roller shades, room-darkening Cellular Shades, and blackout Roman Shades block early morning sun and streetlight intrusion so sleep isn’t disrupted by light coming in at the wrong hour.
Living Rooms & Home Offices
Solar shades cut heat and glare from south- and west-facing windows without making the room feel closed off. If afternoon sun is washing out a TV or monitor, this can help.
Sunrooms & Patios
Exterior patio shades and interior solar shades intercept heat gain before it enters the room, helping keep these spaces comfortable through more of Michigan’s warmer months.
Sliding Glass Doors & Wide Openings
Banded shades and roller shade systems handle the scale and function that wide openings demand, where a single standard shade isn’t practical.
Skylights, Arched Windows, & High Openings
Motorized shades can make these hard-to-reach windows more functional without manual operation. Our design consultants measure these openings precisely for a proper fit.
Whole-Home & New Construction Projects
Full-home window shades installation is one of our most common projects, particularly for homeowners moving into new builds or recently purchased homes with bare windows throughout. We coordinate the entire project from a single consultation.
Insulation & Year-Round Comfort in Kent County, MI
Kent County spans twenty-one townships, five villages, and nine cities across roughly 872 square miles, and the housing stock reflects that range: newer construction with modern windows sits alongside older homes where single-pane glass is still common. Michigan’s four distinct seasons create real swings in heating and cooling demand. Cellular Shades are built to address exactly that, trapping air in their honeycomb pockets to help reduce heat loss in winter and limit heat gain in summer. For homes where drafts come through the glass itself, that can make a noticeable difference in comfort across every season.

Our design consultant arrives with physical samples, measures every window, and delivers a written proposal on the spot or within a few hours.
Order Placement & Updates
Once you approve the proposal, we place the order with our manufacturer partners, Hunter Douglas, Norman, and Graber, and keep you updated on lead times throughout.
