re: Blinds/Shades - purchasing online

Just got two remote controlled roman shades from select blinds. Simple measurements and place order. 4 screws for each blind. 2 weeks for these blinds. Ordered some 2” wood blinds for a home in Colorado and took 3-4 days. One set i measured wrong and they said keep or donate them and sent me correct size. Very easy to do business online and highly recommend.

Don't be cheap, get plantation shutters.

Depending on the neighborhood and what’s allowed, you can save a lot of money hanging sheets in the windows or taping tin foil to the glass.

I have an oversized window I needed to order a custom blind for. These blind companies tried to convince me they needed to send someone out to measure and install, so I ordered off Amazon instead. Took me a minute to find a company on there that did custom blinds, but sent the measurements, they shipped it, I put them up.
They were also a few hundred dollars cheaper than these local companies.
I have a side business in construction and can tell you a monkey can hang blinds. If you have half a brain and a cordless drill, you’re money.

Name of the company on Amazon I used, was first rate blinds.
Home Depot does custom blinds as well, but only up to a certain height and width. I needed like 105” H&W. It was massive, but was excellent quality. Took about 3 weeks.
