Where We Work In KC Northland
Where We Work In The KC Northland
North of the river the homes run from postwar ranches to subdivisions still being built, and we cover all of it.
- Shoal Creek and Staley FarmsNew builds and near new two stories with stacked great room glass, white trim and a cul de sac lot where the next house is a driveway away. Reaching the high windows and privacy are the two most common requests.
- Tiffany Springs and Barry RoadThe 1990s and newer two stories here have a walkout under the deck and bedrooms over the garage that run hot in July, and the upstairs west windows need the most help.
- Gladstone ranchesPostwar ranches with a wide picture window across the front and original windows on the north side. In January the living room can be the coldest room in the house.
- Briarcliff and ParkvilleWooded lots and bluff views put trees or the river in almost every window, and nobody wants to hide that. The goal here is less glare and more evening privacy, with the view intact.

How We Help Northland Homeowners
Many of our Northland calls start with a two story great room: a stack of windows, the top row bare since the builder left, and a TV that's hard to watch after three. Next come the bedrooms over the garage that never cool off, the arched window over the entry, and the walkout slider under the deck. In Gladstone it's the picture window on a ranch, and near Parkville it's a wall of trees nobody wants to cover. Solar Shield Blinds carries every category, from a faux wood blind for a first home to a motorized shade for the top row.
Our new showroom is opening in Shoal Creek Valley off 152, close to Gladstone, Parkville and Tiffany Springs, and we still bring the shop to you. Your Design Specialist arrives with the fabric books, the slat and louver samples and the stain samples, holds them against your trim in your own light, measures every opening, and writes an itemized quote before leaving, held for 180 days, with no pressure to sign. Interior orders take 4 to 6 weeks to install, and shutters and exterior shades take 8 to 10. Our own full time Install Techs finish most two stories in a day.
Our Carefree Guarantee helps with timing too. The 180 day price hold matters to anyone closing on a new build in Staley Farms, since you can get a quote before you move and order after. Free Temporary Shades go up on every window you order for right away, so a cul de sac lot has privacy during the wait, and our Install Techs take them down on install day. For a west facing deck, an interior shade on the door cools the room but not the deck, so we'll show you an Exterior Patio Shade or a Retractable Awning for the deck itself.

Straight Answers
Questions from KC Northland homeowners
We come everywhere north of the river. Briarcliff, Zona Rosa, Tiffany Springs, Shoal Creek, Staley Farms and the streets off Barry Road are all part of a normal day for us, along with Gladstone, Parkville and Platte Woods. Text or call (816) 479-0160 and your Design Specialist will come to you.
Yes. Honeycomb Shades are white on the street side whatever color faces the room, and faux wood blinds come in whites that match new trim. On a Staley Farms or Shoal Creek street where the fronts of the homes match, your house looks consistent from the curb and each room inside still gets what it needs.
Yes, and it's the window we cover most in the Northland. The top row gets a motorized shade on a rechargeable motor, so there's no wiring in a finished home, and the bottom row matches it, on a motor or by hand. One remote or the app runs the whole wall, and your Design Specialist can quote each row separately so you can start with the top.
Yes, it's what we recommend first. The original windows on a postwar ranch let the January cold in, and the pocket of air in a Honeycomb Shade helps the room hold its warmth. Pick room darkening for a bedroom and light filtering for the living room, and go Top Down Bottom Up if the picture window faces the street.
Yes. Our Carefree Guarantee is transferable, so the coverage follows the address, and the next owner of your Staley Farms two story gets the same lifetime product warranty against defects in materials and workmanship. The Install Techs who put your shades in are our own full time employees, and they're the same team that comes back for a service call.
Yes. Synchrony offers up to 18 months at 0% interest, and cash, checks and all major cards are welcome with no card fees. It's built on the exact itemized quote you get at your free consultation, which helps when you're covering a whole new build at once.
