What to Expect: Your Window Treatment Consultation & Installation
Published August 12, 2026
Buying custom window treatments for the first time can feel like a mystery — how much does it cost, who measures, how long does it take? It is actually a straightforward, low-pressure process, and most of the work happens for you. Here is exactly what to expect from first call to final install, so you can book your free consultation with confidence.
Step 1: The Free In-Home Consultation
Everything starts with a free, no-obligation consultation in your home. This matters because your treatments are chosen for your actual windows, light, and décor — not a showroom. Your designer brings samples, looks at each window with you, and talks through your goals: privacy, light control, energy savings, child and pet safety, style, and budget. There is no pressure to decide on the spot.
Step 2: Design & Selection
Together you will narrow down products, materials, colors, and features — for example, faux-wood shutters in the bathrooms, cellular shades in the bedrooms, and motorization on the hard-to-reach windows. Because we work with quality lines and a custom drapery workroom, you have real options in every room. Your designer guides the choices so everything works together and fits the budget.
Step 3: Precise Measuring & Your Quote
We measure every window precisely — custom treatments are built to those exact numbers, so accuracy is everything. You receive a clear, itemized quote with no surprises. Once approved, your order goes into production, and your designer keeps you informed on timing.
Step 4: Professional Installation
When your treatments arrive, our professional installers handle everything — mounting, leveling, adjusting, and making sure each treatment operates smoothly. Professional installation protects the fit and your warranty, and we do not consider the job done until you are thrilled with how every window looks and works.
