Where We Work In Kansas City
Where We Work In Kansas City, MO
Inside the city limits the homes change every few blocks, from hundred year old plaster and tall sashes to new homes with walls of glass, and each one brings its own window needs.
- Hyde Park and Midtown shirtwaistsTall double hungs, deep casings and a front porch a few steps from the sidewalk. Privacy from the sidewalk without losing the daylight is one of the most common requests we get on these streets.
- Downtown, Crossroads and River Market loftsConverted warehouses and new infill put a whole wall of glass on one side of the unit, and by midafternoon that side of the room is too bright to use until the sun goes down.
- Brookside, Waldo and Armour HillsTudors, Craftsman bungalows and the postwar ranches farther south sit on narrow lots with the neighbor's window a driveway away, so kitchens and bedrooms here need privacy on two sides.
- The Plaza and Ward ParkwayCondos with balcony sliders over Brush Creek and Colonial Revivals with paired front windows on the big lots. Arches, bays and wide openings here call for treatments built to the shape.

How We Help Kansas City Homeowners
Many of our calls inside the city start with an older home: a bay in a Hyde Park front room that heats up every afternoon, a stair landing window in a Brookside Tudor nobody can reach, or a 1920s Waldo bathroom with the window near the shower. Others come from the lofts and the Plaza condos, where the need is shade for a wall of west glass and privacy from the building across the way. Solar Shield Blinds came to Kansas City in 2018, and that mix of tall sashes, plaster, concrete and steel is why we carry every category, from a stained wood blind to a motorized blackout Roller Shade.
We bring our shop to you. Your Design Specialist arrives with the fabric books, the stain samples and the louver samples, so you judge everything against your trim in your own light. Every opening gets measured, the arches get templated, and before they leave you have an itemized quote for exactly what you picked, good for 180 days, with no pressure to sign. Interior treatments take 4 to 6 weeks from order to installation, and shutters and exterior shades take 8 to 10. Our own full time Install Techs install it all, and most homes are finished in one day.
Every product is covered by our Carefree Guarantee. The lifetime product warranty covers defects in materials and workmanship for as long as you own the treatment, and it's transferable, so the coverage follows the address to the next owner. Our Five Year Service Guarantee fixes any defect free for five years, and Life Happens covers one accidental damage event in those five years, which is a comfort with young kids in the house. For a west facing porch or a rooftop deck, the best protection from the heat is an Exterior Patio Shade outside the glass, and we'll show you that option at the consultation.

Yes. Solar Shield Blinds is family owned, not a franchise, and our new showroom is opening in Shoal Creek Valley off 152 in the Northland. Your Design Specialist brings the samples to you, so there's no drive at all, and on install day our own full time Install Techs do the work.
Yes, and it's a big part of what we do inside the city. The deep casings in a Hyde Park or Midtown shirtwaist take an inside mount that shows off the trim, and a real wood blind or a wood shutter can be stained to match the oak. Your Design Specialist measures each opening individually, because in a hundred year old house no two windows are the same size.
Yes. A Roller Shade in a solar screen fabric, motorized if the wall is wide, takes the glare and heat off the glass while you keep your view of the skyline, and on a schedule it lowers at three without you thinking about it. Banded Shades are a great pick if you want to adjust the light through the afternoon. Your Design Specialist brings both fabrics and holds them against the glass.
No. Every window you order for gets a free paper temporary shade, put up right after you order and taken down by our Install Techs on install day. That covers the 4 to 6 weeks for interior treatments and the 8 to 10 weeks for shutters and exterior shades, so a front room a few steps from a Brookside sidewalk stays private the whole time.
Yes, through Synchrony, with up to 18 months at 0% interest, and we also accept cash, check and all major cards with no card fees. The financing is built on the exact itemized quote you get at your free consultation, so you know the full number before you decide.
