Kansas City’s Favorite Blinds, Shades, Shutters, Drapery, & Exterior Shade Company

It depends on the window size, the fabric or material, and whether you want motorization. That is why we quote in your home rather than online. Your designer measures every opening, shows you real samples in your own light, and hands you a written price before leaving. Most projects land somewhere between a few hundred dollars for a single room and several thousand for a whole house.

Yes, through Synchrony Financial. Promotional terms have gone as high as 18 months at 0% interest on approved credit, though the exact offer changes, so ask your designer for what is current. The application and the account sit with Synchrony rather than with us. You can also finance part of a project and pay the rest outright, or split a phased job so each phase stands on its own.

Timelines vary by each product, the options selected, and the complexity of your project. However, most of our interior window treatments average around 4 to 6 weeks from order to install, and our exterior shade solutions are between 8 and 10 weeks. Your Design Specialist will be able to give you much better lead times when you place your order.

Our install techs arrive with your new products, they carefully install, clean up the work area, and take the packaging away with them. Before they leave, they walk every room with you and operate every single product to make sure you are satisfied and make sure you know how to work each product.

Our own installers, on our own trucks, in Solar Shield Blinds shirts. There is not a subcontractor on any job. Every installer works through a structured, skills based training program from day one and is only assigned work they have already proven they can do, so a delicate or complicated install goes to someone who has done it before.

That is something we hear a lot, and it is exactly why people call us. If there is a solution for a tricky installation we will use it, and if there is not one we will develop it, whether that means specialty ordering, custom fabrication or on site engineering. We can come take a look for free, and give you our honest answer. We strive to say YES, and we do what it takes to get your project done.

No. No single window treatment manufacturer has a monopoly on great products, so we are solutions focused rather than brand focused. Everything we carry is tested in real world conditions rather than judged on a spec sheet, and if it does not meet our standards we will not recommend it regardless of who makes it.

Yes. A broken cord or a failed mechanism is usually a repair, not a replacement, and we will tell you plainly when repairing stops being worth the money. Repairability is one of the things we look at before we agree to carry a product at all, because a treatment that cannot be fixed cannot be guaranteed.

Almost everything we sell can be motorized or has a motorized option. Rechargeable motors need no wiring at all and are the usual answer in an existing house. Hardwired systems are worth it on new builds or large installations. Our team can help you plan which option will be best for your home or commercial building. Our Product Specialists are ready to help make your motorized project simple and straightforward.

Call us. The Carefree Guarantee covers a five year service window, a lifetime guarantee on the product itself, and it transfers if you sell the house. There is also a Life Happens guarantee, which covers accidental damage. No matter what issue you're having with your custom window treatment or outdoor patio shade, call us, text us, or email our team, and we'll get it fixed!

Yes, and on a house with small children or animals it is the first thing we talk about. Cordless lift, motorization and clutch controls with hold down devices all remove the accessible cord. Most product lines offer at least one of these, so it rarely costs you the look you wanted.

Yes. Restaurants, offices, medical and dental clinics, schools, auditoriums and one very large bridge. We handled the exterior shade system at Rock Island Bridge in Kansas City. Commercial jobs get the same in house crews, scheduled around your opening hours rather than ours, and one point of contact from the walk through to the final handover.

We serve the Kansas City metro on both sides of the state line, including Overland Park, Olathe, Lee's Summit, Liberty, Leawood, Lenexa, Prairie Village, Shawnee, Belton, Raymore, Blue Springs, Independence and the Johnson County towns. If you are not sure whether your town is covered, call or text and we will tell you straight away.
