Blinds Company Recommendation in BR area

Just recently purchased a home and need to get the entire house furnished with blinds. Anyone have a recommended company in the Baton Rouge area that will come out to do the measurements and install while also not poking a hole in my wallet?

Um, do you own a tape measure and a battery drill? That's all you need to order and install blinds.
Measure your window frames, top to bottom and side to side (subtract 1" on width so you will have 1/2" space on each side).
If it's a window that is not framed (like in a door), measure width and length. Add about 3" to length so the brackets will be above the window.
Order your blinds off the Internet with the exact measurements or go get them at Lowe's. Lowe's will cut them to width but you will have to set the length, which is pretty easy.
My sister owns a drapes company and I install for her sometimes. The cost for installation is $7 a foot width. So a standard bedroom window will cost you $21. It takes me about 2 minutes to install a blind.

I'd pay you 21 a window just so I don't have to do that shite.
Do you do plantation blinds for that price?

That's just installation. Plantation blinds are actually easier because they are bigger

This is your cheapest bet. If you hire one of those companies that comes to measure them out and install them for you be prepared to spend about 3x as much.
