Window Treatments & Custom Shades in Columbus, OH
Columbus homes cover more than a century of building styles, from brick homes with original windows to downtown condos and brand-new builds. Each one needs something different at the window, and that is exactly what a custom installer is for. We design and install custom blinds, shades, shutters, and motorized window treatments for Columbus, OH homes and businesses.
Every job is measured and installed by our own team, and every consultation is free.
Typical installed prices in Columbus: blinds from $150, roller and honeycomb shades from $175, plantation shutters from $275, and motorized shades from $450 per window. Estimate your windows in 30 seconds.
Custom blinds and plantation shutters in Columbus
The two most requested upgrades we install in Columbus homes are custom blinds in Columbus and plantation shutters in Columbus. Custom Norman blinds come in wood, faux wood, and aluminum, cordless or motorized, at about $150 to $600 per window installed. Plantation shutters run about $275 to $1,950 per window depending on material, and are built to fit older, out-of-square Columbus windows.
Not sure which is right? Read our guide to the best plantation shutters for Columbus, Ohio homes, or book a free in-home consultation and we’ll bring samples of both.

What works in Columbus homes
In older neighborhoods, windows are often out of square or sized in ways off-the-shelf products never fit. Plantation shutters and inside-mounted cellular shades are made to the exact opening, so they close cleanly and help with drafts. In condos and newer homes with large glass, motorized roller and solar shades cut glare and heat without blocking the view. Columbus officially became Ohio’s capital in 1816.

Columbus window treatment questions
Do you serve Columbus?

Is the in-home consultation free?
Yes. We come to your home, measure every window, show you real samples in your own light, and give you a written, firm quote with no obligation.
Can you cover our windows while the custom order is made?
Yes, free. If you are moving into a new Columbus home with bare windows, we put up free temporary privacy shades at your consultation, so you have privacy right away while your custom window treatments are made. See how new construction works.
Do you work in historic homes?
Yes. We measure every window individually, which matters in older homes where no two openings are quite the same, and we can recommend treatments that suit the style of the house.
