FAQ

Questions, answered

If yours is not here, call or text (645) 229-7582 — we would rather answer it than have you guess.

How much do blinds cost in Tampa?

It depends on size, fabric and whether you want motorization — but because we fabricate to order and install ourselves, we are typically well under big-box and showroom pricing. Call or text (645) 229-7582 with your window count and we will give you a ballpark before we ever come out.

What is a zebra blind, and why is everyone getting them?

A zebra (or dual / day-night) shade has alternating sheer and solid bands on a single roller. Line the solid bands up and you get privacy; offset them and you get soft filtered daylight with a view out. One shade, two jobs.

Do you do motorized and smart blinds?

Yes — rechargeable lithium motors, RF remotes, phone app and voice control through Alexa or Google. We can motorize a single hard-to-reach window or an entire home, and we set the scenes and schedules up for you before we leave.

What is smart film?

A switchable laminate on the glass itself. Powered on it is clear; switched off it turns opaque white in under a second. It is what we use for glass offices, conference rooms, bathrooms and front-door sidelights where a blind would be wrong.

Are the blinds custom made?

Every single one. Nothing is cut down from a stock size. You choose the fabric, the opacity, the band width and the colour of the cassette, bottom rail, brackets and chain.

Do you cover Miami as well as Tampa?

Yes. Tampa Bay is home base — Hillsborough, Pinellas and Pasco — and we install across Miami-Dade, Broward and the rest of South Florida, plus statewide for larger projects.

Do you repair blinds you did not install?

We do. Dead motors, unpaired remotes, shades off track, snapped chains — send a photo or short video to (645) 229-7582 and we will tell you honestly whether it is worth repairing or replacing.

Do you charge for the measure or the quote?

No. The in-home measure and the written quote are free, and there is no design fee. You are not committed to anything until you approve the quote.

How far out are you booking?

Measures are usually within a few days. Fabrication is typically one to two weeks depending on fabric and quantity, then installation is scheduled around you.

Inside mount or outside mount?

Inside mount looks cleaner and is what most people want when the window has enough depth. Outside mount is better when depth is shallow, the opening is out of square, or you need to kill light gaps for a blackout. We check at the measure and tell you which is right.

Can I choose the colour of the hardware, not just the fabric?

Yes. Cassette, bottom rail, brackets and chain all come in different finishes and are picked separately from the fabric.

What is a zipper track shade?

An outdoor screen where the fabric edge is welded into a zipper that rides inside an aluminium side track, so wind cannot lift it and bugs cannot get past the edge. It is the outdoor product we recommend most in Florida.

Are cordless options available for homes with kids?

Yes, and we recommend them. Cordless and motorized shades remove the loose cord entirely.

Do you install in condos and HOAs with rules about window coverings?

Yes. Many associations require a white or off-white backing visible from outside. Tell us the rule and we will spec to it.

What forms of payment do you take?

Ask when you call and we will confirm current options for your job.

Do you offer a warranty?

Yes — coverage varies by product and motor. We put the terms in writing on your quote so there is no ambiguity later.
