Where We Work In Gardner
Where we work in Gardner
Downtown Gardner and the blocks around Main Street, Cottage Creek, Genesis Creek, Symphony Farms, Prairie Trace and the homes around Gardner Lake all get the same free visit.
- Older homes near Main StreetThe houses on the west end of Main Street go back to the 1890s and the early 1900s, with tall, narrow windows and wood trim worth showing. Inside mounted shades and stained wood blinds keep that trim in view.
- Cottage Creek and the late 1990s streetsHomes built in the late 1990s, the decade Gardner nearly tripled in size, are old enough for a second set of window treatments. Faux wood and honeycombs replace the first set room by room.
- Genesis Creek and Symphony FarmsRanches and two stories off 167th Street with open great rooms, a neighborhood pool down the block and young trees in the yard. Solar screen Roller Shades and motors for the tall glass come up first.
- New builds in Prairie TraceRanch and two story plans with finished basement options, and a whole house of windows to cover at once. One itemized quote handles the list from the basement up.

New construction, older Main Street houses and one quote for all of it
Gardner had about 3,200 residents in 1990 and more than 23,000 by the 2020 census, so most of the houses Solar Shield Blinds measures here went up in the last thirty years. That brings a familiar list: a two story great room with glass nobody can reach, a bedroom over the garage that runs hot in July, a slider onto a deck with no roof, and a new house with every window still bare. Downtown is the exception, where the older homes around Main Street have deep wood casings and frames that have moved for a century.
A Design Specialist brings the samples to your house, holds the fabrics up in your own light and measures every window, then writes an itemized quote before leaving, with no pressure and a price held for 180 days. That price hold helps in a house you just moved into, where the main floor comes first and the basement can wait. Shades, blinds and drapery are installed 4 to 6 weeks after you order, while shutters and exterior patio shades need 8 to 10 weeks to build. Our own full time Install Techs do the work with no subcontractors, and Free Temporary Shades cover the bare windows in the meantime.
Everything we install carries the Carefree Guarantee: a lifetime product warranty that transfers to the next owner if you sell, a five year service guarantee on defects, and one Life Happens accident covered in those five years. Outside, the newer lots around Gardner have young trees and little to stop the afternoon sun on a deck or patio, so an Exterior Patio Shade or a Retractable Awning does the job a shade tree will do in twenty years. We also serve nearby Olathe, just up I-35, along with Lenexa and Overland Park.

Straight Answers
Questions from Gardner homeowners
Yes, and there's no charge for it. A Solar Shield Blinds Design Specialist drives down with the samples, measures every window in the house, and writes the itemized quote at your table before leaving. You see each fabric in your own light, and nothing gets ordered from a standard size.
Yes, once the windows and trim are in. Before the drywall goes up is the time to run power for hardwired motors, and your Design Specialist can mark which windows need it. The quote holds for 180 days, which leaves room if the closing date moves.
Check your association's rules before ordering, since each one writes its own. Keeping the street side uniform is simple: Honeycomb Shades are white facing out whatever color faces the room, and blinds and shutters read as one clean line from the curb. Your Design Specialist shows you the outside of every sample.
Yes. The houses on the west end of Main Street and the blocks near the historic downtown have deeper casings and wood trim, and a frame that has moved over a hundred years gets measured at more than one point. An inside mount keeps the trim on display, and an outside mount covers a frame too far out of square to hide.
Yes. Every window gets its own line on the quote, so you can order the great room and bedrooms first and leave the finished basement for later. The price on the quote holds for 180 days, and the basement can be added to the order any time in that window.
Yes. The lifetime product warranty under our Carefree Guarantee transfers to the next owner along with the address. Until then, defects are fixed free for five years, and one accident in that time is covered under Life Happens.
