Where We Work In Olathe
Where we work in Olathe
Olathe has homes from every era, and each era brings its own kind of window. Here are a few of the neighborhoods our team works in.
- Original Town and downtownThe older homes near Santa Fe Street have smaller, deeper windows and wood trim worth keeping in view. Inside mounted shades and stain matched wood blinds suit them well.
- Havencroft and central OlatheSplit levels and two stories from the 1970s and 1980s fill these streets. If your home still has its original windows, a Honeycomb Shade is the first product we recommend for the drafts.
- Arbor Creek and Persimmon HillTwo story homes from the late 1980s through the 2000s, set among mature trees. Whole house blinds, Top Down Bottom Up shades for the bedrooms, and shutters for the front windows are a great fit.
- Cedar Creek and west OlatheCedar Creek wraps around the 65 acre Shadow Lake, and Prairie Farms and Stonebridge are newer still. Big windows there call for solar screen Roller Shades, motorized shades and exterior shades.

One visit covers every window in your Olathe home
Our Olathe clients call us for all kinds of reasons. The TV has glare on it every afternoon, a bedroom faces the window next door, the patio is too hot to use after lunch, or the dining room window has never had anything on it at all. Solar Shield Blinds carries a solution for every one of those, and the ten product pages below explain each one for Olathe homes, so you can read up before we visit.
Your Design Specialist brings the shop to your home, with samples of every fabric, stain and louver so you can see them against your own walls and trim, in your own light. Every opening is measured by our team, and you get a complete and exact quote on the spot that holds for 180 days, with no high pressure. Interior products take 4 to 6 weeks from order to install, while Plantation Shutters and Exterior Patio Shades take 8 to 10. Our own full time Install Techs handle the installation, and most Olathe homes are finished in less than a day.
Every order comes with our Carefree Guarantee. That includes a lifetime product warranty that transfers to the next owner if you sell, a Five Year Service Guarantee, and Life Happens coverage for one accidental damage event in those five years. Free Temporary Shades go up on every window you order for, so you are not left with bare glass while you wait, and You'll Love It gives you 30 days after install to swap a product for one of equal or lesser value. Your home is in great hands when you choose the Solar Shield Blinds team!

Straight Answers
Questions from Olathe homeowners
Yes, and it's free. A Solar Shield Blinds Design Specialist comes to your home anywhere in Olathe with the samples, measures every window, and writes an exact itemized quote before leaving. You see every fabric and finish in your own light, and there is no showroom trip to plan.
Yes. If the walls are still open, your Design Specialist can plan hardwired motors so the wiring goes in with the rest of the electrical. Once the trim is on, every opening gets measured for the final quote. The quote holds for 180 days, which gives you room if the move in date slips.
Every association writes its own rules, so check yours before you order. The street side is easy to keep consistent: Honeycomb Shades are white on the outside no matter what color faces the room, and blinds and shutters read as one clean color from the curb.
Yes. The homes around Shadow Lake and Shadow Glen Golf Club have a lot of glass and a view worth keeping, so screen Roller Shades, motorized shades and Exterior Patio Shades come up on those visits. Your Design Specialist brings the fabrics to the window so you can judge the view through each one.
Yes. The Carefree Guarantee is transferable, so the Lifetime Product coverage follows the address to the next owner, with no paperwork for them. Until then, the Five Year Service Guarantee covers defects at no charge, and Life Happens covers one accidental damage event in those five years.
Interior blinds, shades and drapery take 4 to 6 weeks from order to final installation, and Plantation Shutters and Exterior Patio Shades take 8 to 10 weeks. Free paper temporary shades go up on the windows you order for right away and come down on install day.
