Where We Work In South Kansas City
Where We Work In South Kansas City, MO
From State Line Road east past 71 Highway and south to the county line, these neighborhoods share mid century homes and a big tree canopy, and we know both well.
- Red Bridge and Verona HillsRanches and split levels from the 1960s and later, with a wide picture window facing the street. Glare on the TV late in the day and a cold living room in January are common reasons we get the call.
- Santa Fe Hills and Linden HillsMid century homes on quiet streets, many with original trim and older glass. The front bedrooms and the picture window need privacy and some insulation.
- Hickman Mills and Ruskin HeightsRanches and splits from the 1950s and 1960s with a slider off the family room, a raised deck, and a bathroom window over the tub. The slider is the biggest piece of glass in the house.
- Terrace Lake Gardens and Martin CityHomes near the south end of the city with open patios and decks that take the afternoon sun, where a shade or an awning makes the back of the house usable.

How We Help South Kansas City Homeowners
Many South Kansas City calls start with the floor plan. A ranch in Red Bridge or Santa Fe Hills has one picture window on the street, bedrooms on the front, and older glass. In Hickman Mills and Ruskin Heights the split levels have a slider the size of a wall and a deck with no roof. Many lots sit close, so the side window looks into a neighbor's kitchen. Then there are the trees, which soften the light all day and let the sun in underneath late in the afternoon on the west side, and Solar Shield Blinds has a product for each of these.
Wornall Road, Holmes Road and 71 Highway make South Kansas City an easy trip for your Design Specialist, who arrives with the fabric books, the stain samples and the louver and slat samples, and holds each one in your window under your own trees. Every opening is measured, and the itemized quote is written before they leave, holds for 180 days, and comes with no pressure. Interior treatments take 4 to 6 weeks to install, shutters and exterior shades take 8 to 10, and our own Install Techs finish most ranches in a day.
Our Carefree Guarantee is transferable, which matters in neighborhoods where homes pass from one family to the next, because the lifetime product warranty follows the address to the buyers. Life Happens covers one unintentional damage event in five years, free, and You'll Love It lets you swap a product within 30 days of installation. For a west facing deck or a screened porch you want to use in March, the answer is outside the glass, with an Exterior Patio Shade or a Retractable Awning, and your Design Specialist will help you choose.

Questions from South Kansas City homeowners
Yes, we come to all of it.

Text or call (816) 479-0160 and pick a time.
No. We bring the shop to you, so your Design Specialist comes to your dining table with the samples. Our new showroom is opening in Shoal Creek Valley off 152 in the Northland if you ever want to see the products in one place, and it's never a requirement.
Yes, and it's one of the most common orders we see in South Kansas City. The picture window in front gets one wide shade or a set of shutter panels, and the slider in back gets a Roller Shade with magnetic hold downs or a vertical honeycomb that stacks to one side, so the door still works. Both go on one itemized quote, and your Design Specialist measures both on one visit.
Yes. A Roller Shade in a tighter solar screen on the west windows keeps the view and takes the glare off the TV, and it can be motorized on a schedule. For a bedroom on that side, a room darkening Honeycomb Shade is the better pick, and your Design Specialist brings both.
No. Our Install Techs, full time Solar Shield Blinds employees, hang the new treatments, take down the old blinds and haul them away with the packaging, then walk every room with you and run each shade before they leave. Most ranches are done in less than a day.
Yes. You can finance through Synchrony for up to 18 months at 0% interest, or pay with cash, check or any major card, and there are no card fees. It's built on the exact itemized quote you get at your free consultation, so you know the full cost before you decide.
