Window Treatments In Leawood

Custom Blinds, Shades, Shutters & Drapery in Leawood, KS

Solar Shield Blinds brings custom blinds, shades, shutters, drapery and exterior shades to homes all over Leawood, from the 1950s ranches in Old Leawood near State Line to the two story homes and golf course lots in Hallbrook and Ironhorse. Every project starts with a free in-home consultation, and we plan each window to look right from the street and from inside the room.

Where We Work In Leawood

Where we work in Leawood

Some Leawood projects start with a designer's plan, and others start with a homeowner who wants help finishing the formal rooms. Both get the same thorough visit from our team.

  • Traditional homes south of 135thThe two story homes between 135th and 151st have formal living and dining rooms on the street, an arched transom over the entry, and a family room that faces west, and each of those rooms needs a different product.
  • Old Leawood near State LineThe 1950s ranches between Mission Road and State Line have low wide picture windows, shallow casings and plaster walls. The right shade keeps the horizontal line and stays out of the plaster.
  • Golf course lotsA kitchen on a Hallbrook or Ironhorse lot looks out at the fairway and the sunset. You want the view all day and privacy when the golf carts come by.
  • Remodels and new buildsA remodeled ranch with black window frames and a new build toward 151st both come with a wall of glass to the back yard and a homeowner who wants nothing to clutter the frame.

Why Leawood Calls Us

Both sides of a Leawood window, and the visit that sorts them

Leawood homeowners call because a window is being looked at from two directions. The front of a house on Mission Road is seen by everyone who drives by, and the living room behind it is where your family sits every day, so a treatment has to look right from both sides. The calls sort themselves by room: privacy at the dining table without losing the daylight above it, glare on the study screen at three, a transom over the entry that's out of reach, a terrace that gets too hot after four, and a designer's plan that needs someone to measure, build and install it exactly as drawn.

We bring the shop to you: fabric books, louver samples, and a Design Specialist who measures every opening, the arch over the entry and the low ranch windows near State Line included. If you're working with a designer, they're welcome in the room, and the quote is written against their plan. Before we leave you have an itemized exact quote, held 180 days, with no high pressure. Interior treatments average 4 to 6 weeks from order to install, shutters and exterior shades 8 to 10, and our own full time Install Techs have most Leawood houses done in under a day.

Two parts of the Carefree Guarantee come up most in Leawood. The You'll Love It term gives you 30 days after install to swap a product for one of equal or lesser value, which matters when a fabric that looked right on the swatch reads differently across a whole formal window. The Lifetime Product coverage is Transferable, so it follows the address when the house sells. The treatment that looks best from the curb on a formal front is not always the one that darkens a bedroom or cools a west facing family room, and our Design Specialist will walk you through it room by room.

Straight Answers

Questions from Leawood homeowners

Yes, and you don't drive anywhere. Solar Shield Blinds brings the shop to your house, from old Leawood near State Line to the golf course lots south of 135th, with fabric books, louver samples and a Design Specialist who measures every opening while you watch. The quote is written at your kitchen table before we leave, and it holds for 180 days. Fall 2026 also brings a Solar Shield Blinds showroom to Shoal Creek Valley in the Northland.

The front of a Leawood house is the part of the design everyone sees, so the Design Specialist plans those windows first. Every honeycomb shows white to the street whatever the room color, shutters read as millwork, and a roller in a cassette that matches the trim hangs as one line. Inside, the dining room and the study can each get what they need without the front giving it away. Read your own covenants for the specifics.

It depends on what's wrong. Glare with a fairway view worth keeping calls for a 10% or 5% screen Roller Shade, or a Banded Shade you slide instead of raise. A room that's hot by four means the fix is outside, where Exterior Patio Shades stop the sun before it reaches the glass. Your Design Specialist will look at the room with you and recommend the right one.

No. The 1950s ranches between Mission Road and State Line have shallow casings, wide low windows and plaster walls, and the Design Specialist measures each opening for the smallest headrail that fits and specifies the mount before anything is ordered. Rechargeable motors need no wiring, so the plaster stays untouched if you want a motor on the wide picture window. Our own full time Install Techs do the work, clean up, and take the old blinds away.

No. The itemized quote Solar Shield Blinds writes at your kitchen table holds for 180 days under the Carefree Guarantee, so a fall consultation and a spring order pay the same number. If you find the same product, brand, service and warranty priced lower within 30 days of ordering, the Best Price term covers it. There's no pressure, and you call us when you're ready.

Yes. Our Carefree Guarantee is transferable, so the coverage follows the address and the next owner has no paperwork to fill out. It includes a lifetime product warranty against defects in materials and workmanship, free lifetime inspections from our Install Techs, and our Five Year Service Guarantee, so a defect in the first five years is fixed free of charge.
