Where We Work In Platte City
Where we work in Platte City
Downtown Platte City and the older streets around Main, Hills of Oakmont, Lakes at Oakmont, Copper Ridge, Running Horse south of town and Seven Bridges all get the same free visit at home.
- Ranches near the courthouseMid-century ranches on the streets around downtown, with a front window facing the neighbors and original trim worth keeping. A shade that fits inside that trim and gives daytime privacy comes first.
- Split entries and raised ranchesA landing window by the front door, an upper living room with the main glass, and lower level windows set partly into the ground. Each level needs something different, and one quote covers all three.
- Reverse 1.5 stories in Copper RidgeA finished lower level under the main floor, and in many of these houses a slider below the deck that opens to the yard. The patio door and the space under the deck are where outdoor products come in.
- Seven Bridges and the lake neighborhoodsTwo stories built mostly after 2000 among rolling hills and lakes, with tall great room glass facing the water or the common ground. Glare and reach are the two complaints we hear there.

Courthouse ranches, split entries and new builds at the edge of town
Platte City is a small town with three kinds of houses, and Solar Shield Blinds works in all of them. Near downtown and the courthouse on Main, the mid-century ranches need treatments that fit an older opening and keep the front room private from the street. The split entries and raised ranches from the town's later growth put windows on three levels, from the entry landing down to a family room set into the ground. On the newer streets in Running Horse, Copper Ridge and Seven Bridges, the questions turn to tall great room glass, a slider under the deck and a patio that sits in full sun.
Your Design Specialist comes to the house with the samples, measures every opening, and holds the fabrics up at the window at the hour it bothers you most. You get an itemized written quote before we leave, with no pressure or sales tactics, and the price holds for 180 days. Interior products take 4 to 6 weeks from order to install, shutters and exterior shades take 8 to 10, and free temporary shades go up on the ordered windows in the meantime. Our Install Techs are full time employees, not subcontractors, and they finish most Platte City houses in a day.
Everything we install carries the Carefree Guarantee: a lifetime product warranty that transfers if you sell, five years of free service on defects, and one Life Happens accident covered in that time. For a deck or patio, know going in that a shade inside the glass handles glare and privacy and leaves the heat and the bugs outside where they are. Out there the answer is an Exterior Patio Shade under a roof or deck, or a Retractable Awning over open concrete. We also serve the Northland, Liberty and Kansas City.

Straight Answers
Questions from Platte City homeowners
Yes. Platte City and the subdivisions around it are in our service area, and the visit is free. A Solar Shield Blinds Design Specialist brings the samples to your house, measures each window and writes the quote at your table. Our new showroom opens in Fall 2026 in Shoal Creek Valley off 152 in the Northland, and the in-home visit is still where a Platte City project starts.
Yes, when the opening has the depth for it, and your Design Specialist checks that at every window. An older frame gets measured in several places because it is rarely the same size top and bottom. Where the casing is too shallow, a Honeycomb Shade with its slim headrail fits inside, or the shade mounts on the trim instead.
Yes. Those windows sit partly below grade and face the yard at eye level, so privacy and warmth matter more than view. A Honeycomb Shade holds heat in a cool lower family room, and a light filtering fabric keeps the room from feeling closed in during the day.
There are two, and they work together. Inside, a Roller Shade with magnetic hold downs or a vertical honeycomb covers the glass, and outside, an Exterior Patio Shade can mount under the deck to close in the patio. A Sliding Screen on the door itself lets the air in when the shade is up.
Yes, if that is what you ask for. Honeycomb Shades are white on the street side whatever color faces the room, and blinds, shutters and matched Roller Shades all read as one line from the curb. Your Design Specialist shows you the outside face of each sample before you choose.
Yes. The Carefree Guarantee covers it: a lifetime product warranty that goes with the house if you sell, five years of free service on defects, one Life Happens repair for an accident, and 30 days after install to trade a product for one of equal or lesser value.
