Hear from Our Customers
Your Elwood home deserves better than blinds that stick, cords that snap, or shades that leave gaps. When we’re done, every window works exactly how you need it to.
Complete privacy for your home office when you’re on video calls. Gentle light filtering in your living room that doesn’t create glare on your TV. Smart automation that adjusts throughout the day without you touching anything.
You get windows that finally make sense for how you actually live. No more rooms that are either too bright or too dark because your current treatments don’t give you real control.
We’ve been transforming Elwood homes for over two decades. We’re the family-owned company your neighbors choose when they want window treatments that actually last.
We understand Long Island living. The salt air that can damage cheap materials. The summer sun that beats through south-facing windows. The need for treatments that can handle everything from casual family life to sophisticated entertaining.
Elwood homeowners consistently choose us because we know what works in your specific environment. We’re not trying to sell you the same solution we’d recommend in Arizona or Minnesota.
We start with a free in-home consultation where we measure your windows and discuss what’s not working with your current setup. You’ll see fabric samples, operate different mechanisms, and use our digital room visualizer to see exactly how treatments will look.
Once you’ve chosen your treatments, we handle everything else. Custom manufacturing to your exact specifications. Delivery coordination. Professional installation where every blind operates smoothly and every motorized system is programmed exactly how you want it.
You’re not left figuring out how anything works. We test every treatment before we leave, show you all the controls, and make sure you’re completely comfortable with operation.

Elwood homes need treatments that can handle coastal conditions while looking sophisticated year-round. We carry the complete Hunter Douglas line, including their motorized PowerView systems that integrate with Alexa and Google Home.
For energy efficiency, cellular shades provide excellent insulation—crucial for those summer cooling bills that can hit $400+ monthly in larger Elwood homes. Plantation shutters add serious curb appeal and home value. Solar shades block heat and glare while preserving your view of your landscaping.
Families with young children love our cordless options that eliminate safety hazards. Home offices benefit from light-filtering shades that reduce screen glare without blocking natural light completely. Large windows and sliding doors get specialized treatments designed to handle their size and weight properly.
Coastal conditions require treatments that resist humidity, salt air, and intense UV exposure. Faux wood blinds are ideal because they won’t warp or crack like real wood, and they’re easy to clean when salt residue builds up.
For fabric treatments, we recommend fade-resistant materials with protective coatings. Hunter Douglas offers several collections specifically engineered for coastal areas, including their Silhouette and Luminette lines that maintain their appearance despite challenging conditions.
Motorized treatments are particularly smart in coastal homes because they reduce wear from daily operation and eliminate cords that can be affected by humidity. The investment makes sense when you consider these treatments last 10-15 years versus cheap alternatives that need replacement in 2-3 years.
Basic custom blinds start around $200-$350 per window, while motorized shades or plantation shutters run $500-$800 per window. This investment makes financial sense when you consider that custom treatments last 10-15 years and often increase your home’s value.
Energy-efficient options can reduce cooling costs by 15-25% during summer months, helping offset the initial cost. In Elwood’s expensive housing market, quality treatments are worth doing right rather than settling for cheaper options that need replacement in a few years.
We provide detailed estimates with no surprises, and we can suggest ways to maximize your budget. Many clients start with high-priority rooms like bedrooms and living areas, then add other rooms over time.
Absolutely. We specialize in Hunter Douglas PowerView motorization, which integrates seamlessly with Alexa, Google Home, Apple HomeKit, and most smart home systems. You can control individual treatments or entire rooms with voice commands or smartphone apps.
This is particularly valuable for Elwood homeowners who travel frequently or have second homes. You can adjust treatments remotely for security, energy savings, or to prepare your home before you arrive.
The system learns your preferences and can automatically adjust throughout the day based on sun position, time, or your schedule. Many clients love programming “scenes” like “Good Morning” that opens bedroom shades gradually or “Movie Time” that closes living room treatments for optimal viewing.
Custom treatments are manufactured to your exact window dimensions, eliminating the light gaps and operational issues you get with store-bought options. The difference is immediately obvious—no more bright strips of light around the edges or treatments that don’t quite reach the windowsill.
Custom options also offer superior materials and mechanisms. While store-bought treatments might use plastic components that break within months, custom treatments use metal hardware and commercial-grade fabrics designed to last decades.
The installation makes a huge difference too. Our team ensures every treatment is perfectly level, operates smoothly, and integrates properly with your window frames. Store-bought treatments often come with generic mounting hardware that doesn’t account for your specific window construction or wall type.
Quality window treatments can reduce your energy costs by 15-25% during summer months, which is significant when you’re dealing with Elwood’s high electricity rates and large homes. Cellular shades create an insulating air pocket that keeps cool air inside during summer and warm air inside during winter.
Solar shades block up to 90% of UV rays while still allowing you to see outside, reducing the heat load on your air conditioning system. This is particularly valuable for south and west-facing windows that get intense afternoon sun.
Motorized treatments can be programmed to automatically close during the hottest parts of the day and open when temperatures drop, optimizing energy efficiency without you having to remember to adjust them. Over the 10-15 year lifespan of quality treatments, the energy savings often pay for a significant portion of the initial investment.
Yes, we provide free in-home design consultations throughout Elwood. Our design expert will come to your home, measure your windows, and discuss what’s not working with your current setup. You’ll see fabric samples, operate different treatment mechanisms, and use our digital room visualizer.
This consultation typically takes 60-90 minutes and there’s no pressure to buy anything. We’ll provide a detailed written estimate that breaks down costs by window and explains your options. Many homeowners find this educational even if they’re not ready to proceed immediately.
We also offer free estimates for repairs or updates to existing treatments. Sometimes a simple adjustment or hardware replacement can extend the life of treatments that are otherwise in good condition. Our goal is to provide the solution that makes the most sense for your situation and budget.
