Blinds installation starts at $12 to $16 each.

A few phone photos and the blind model make it easier to plan a useful visit before anyone arrives. You get a practical conversation about the windows you have, the blinds you selected and what needs to be ready when the job is complete.

Before we schedule
A few photos make a blinds project easier to plan.
You do not need to explain every bracket or window measurement. Clear photos of the real rooms, plus the product you bought, give us a far better starting point than a quick description of the job.
- 1
Each window
Take a straight-on photo of the full window and a wider shot that shows the area around it. This helps clarify the trim, sill and wall space where the blinds will be mounted.
- 2
The blinds you chose
Send a picture of the box label or product link. That makes it easier to see the style, mounting directions and hardware that come with the blinds.
- 3
The total number of windows
Tell us how many blinds you would like installed and which rooms they are in. A full project count helps make the visit and starting price more useful from the beginning.
- 4
Anything that changes access
Include tall windows, furniture that needs to be moved, existing blinds to remove or any window that is difficult to reach. Small details like these make the plan more accurate.
A more finished room
Mount the blinds around the real window, not a product photo.
Blinds can look simple in the box, but every window has its own trim, depth and surrounding space. The decision to mount inside the frame or above it affects the placement. So does the furniture below the window, the height of the opening and whether existing hardware needs to come down first.
That does not mean the project needs to become complicated. It means the conversation should start with the rooms you have instead of a generic estimate. Send a few photos and the product information, then we can talk through the practical details before you set aside time for an appointment.
The goal is a clean installation that works the way you expect. Once the blinds are mounted, they should raise, lower and sit correctly at the window. If the photos point to a mounting surface or trim issue outside a straightforward installation, you will get a clear explanation rather than a promise that ignores the condition of the window.

Plan the details that matter
A useful quote starts with the windows you actually have.
When blinds are part of a larger refresh, it is tempting to think of them as the last quick step. They still deserve a little planning. A bright bedroom may need a different setup than a living room with a wide picture window. A kitchen window can have less room around the frame than a den. The best place to begin is with a clear view of the openings and the products you are considering.
If you have already bought the blinds, a box photo or product link is especially helpful. It shows the style and the installation hardware without requiring you to sort through the packaging or describe every part. If you are still choosing between options, window photos are still a worthwhile first step because they show the space those options need to fit.
For a replacement project, leave the existing blinds in place until the appointment unless you have a reason to remove them earlier. A photo of the current setup can reveal the mount location and any holes or hardware that may need to be considered. It also helps identify which windows are straightforward and which ones deserve a closer look.
Count every blind you want handled, even when some windows are in another room. The number of windows affects how the visit is planned, and grouping the work into one conversation helps avoid missing the small windows, sidelights or secondary rooms that are easy to overlook. You can also mention whether the blinds are all at the house or still being delivered.
Ready access helps the appointment stay focused. Move fragile items away from the work area when practical and point out any window behind a bed, desk or large piece of furniture. There is no need to stage the house perfectly. The point is simply to make the windows and products clear enough to plan the work with fewer surprises.

Frequently asked questions
Getting your blinds installed.
Can you install blinds I already bought?
Yes. Send a photo of the blinds or the box label, along with a few photos of the windows. That gives us a useful starting point for the products and rooms you are working with.
What should I send for a quote?
Share a wide photo of each window, a photo of the blind box or product link, and the total number of blinds you would like installed. Include any high, wide or hard-to-reach windows.
Can you remove the old blinds?
Let us know whether existing blinds or hardware need to come down first. Photos of the current window treatment help make the appointment scope clear before scheduling.
Do the blinds need to be measured before I buy them?
Yes. Blinds need to match the window and the mounting style you choose. Check the manufacturer’s measuring instructions before ordering, then send the product details and window photos so the installation can be planned around what you purchased.
What if a window or trim needs repair?
Blinds need a suitable place to mount. If the window frame, trim or surrounding surface points to a separate repair need, we will explain what we see and help you understand the right next step instead of treating every window as identical.
