Custom blinds, shades, and shutters are a real investment, and the company you hire matters as much as the product. Here's what to look for in Central Ohio, and the questions worth asking.
1. Who measures and installs?
Ask whether the company's own team measures and installs, or whether the work is subcontracted. A perfect product mounted crooked still looks crooked.
2. What brands do they carry?
Look for established manufacturers with real warranties. We're an authorized dealer for Norman, Draper, InsolRoll, DrapeMax, and Elegant Window Fashions.
3. Do they offer free in-home consultations?
Seeing samples in your own light is the only way to know how a fabric will really look. A good company brings samples to you, at no charge.
4. How fast do you get a quote?
A clear, written quote should come quickly. We send ours the same day as the consultation.
5. What happens after the install?
Ask who handles repairs, warranty claims, and motor issues. A local company you can call is worth a lot when something needs attention later. See our repair service.
6. Can they do the whole house?
If you want shutters in front, blackout shades in bedrooms, and motorized shades in the great room, one company that does all of it keeps the look consistent and the process simple.
7. What do reviews say?
Read recent Google reviews. Look for comments about communication, cleanliness, and how problems were handled.
