What to Expect at Your Free In-Home Blinds Consultation
Shopping for blinds in your own home is easier than shopping in a store. Here's exactly how our free consultation works, from booking to the day we install.
In short
- Appointments run every day, 10 a.m. to 5 p.m., anywhere from Windsor to London.
- We bring fabric samples and motor demos so you can see them in your own light.
- We measure every window and leave you with a written quote. No obligation.
- Our own team installs, tests and sets up any motorized shades.

Booking
Book online or call 226-788-4283. Tell us which rooms you're thinking about and anything you're curious about, such as motorized shades or blackout for a nursery, so we bring the right samples. We'll call to confirm a time between 10 a.m. and 5 p.m., any day of the week.
Before we arrive
You don't need to prepare much, but it helps to think about:
- Which rooms you want to start with, and which can wait.
- How you use each room: who sleeps late, where the TV is, which windows the neighbours can see.
- Whether you're building or renovating, in case wiring for motors is still possible. See pre-wiring.
- Your smart home setup, if you have one: Apple Home, Google Home, Alexa, Control4, Crestron or Savant.
- Clear access to the windows we'll measure.
At the visit
- A walk-through. We look at each window with you and talk about light, privacy, the direction the sun comes from and how the room is used.
- Samples in your light. Fabrics look different at home than in a showroom. We hold samples up to your windows so you see the real colour and how much light comes through.
- A motor demo, if you're interested, so you can hear how quiet it is and try the remote.
- Measuring. We measure every window, the frame depth and any obstructions, and check the mounting surfaces.
- A written quote, window by window, so you can compare options and decide room by room.
No pressure
The consultation is free and there's no obligation. Take the quote, think it over, ask questions. If you'd like to see more samples, our showroom at 49 King St in Harrow is open by appointment.
After you order
Every blind is made to the measurements we took. We'll give you a timeline with your quote and call to book the installation when your order is ready.
Installation day
- What we do: install every blind, level and test it, set up motorized shades with your remote, app or smart home system, show you how everything works and clean up after ourselves.
- What helps: moving fragile items and furniture away from the windows, and keeping pets in another room while we work.
After installation
If anything needs adjusting, call us. We're a local, family-owned company, and the same team that installed your blinds comes back if you need us.
Questions worth asking at any blinds consultation
- Is each blind made to my exact measurements?
- Who installs it, and who do I call if something needs adjusting?
- Which products can be motorized, and what motors do you use?
- What warranty comes with the motors and programming, and who handles it?
- How long until installation?
Our answers: yes; our own team; every product we sell, on smart motors with 2 Nm of torque or low-voltage hardwired systems; a full 3-year in-house warranty on every motor and its programming, handled by us; and a timeline with your written quote.
Common questions
Is the consultation really free?
Yes. The visit, the samples, the measuring and the quote are free, with no obligation to buy.
Do I need to be home for the visit?
Yes. We want to understand how you use each room, and we need access to the windows to measure.
Can I visit your showroom instead?
Yes, by appointment, at 49 King St, Harrow, ON. Call 226-788-4283 or book online to set a time.
Can you show me motorized shades at the consultation?
Yes. Mention it when you book and we will bring a motor demo so you can try it.
