I have four windows in our living room I want blinds for. What is the average price for the measurements and installation?

Just measure your windows, have them cut to specs and put them up yourself.

Taking that aluminum foil down?

It depends on what type of window treatment and size of window. Estimate $200 per window should cover treatment and install.

Measure the window and go get it from one of the package stores. Less $100 each

Blinds in the living room?


Must be at least a double wide.

Seriously just DIY. It will take you about 30-45 minutes to put up the first one then 10-15 for the remaining ones. Easy one person job unless they are 6ft wide or wider.

Last time I did it I did 26 in an afternoon. Just look up how to measure for them on one of the manufacturer's web sites. Make sure you measure every window even if they are nominally the same size.

Measure your window. Buy blinds as close as possible. Cut blinds using miter saw. Install takes about 5 minutes.

Blinds Galore, they make it about as easy as it can be. You can spend a little or a lot, your choice. Might have to buy a tape measure and screw driver.

Lowe’s and Home Depot will even cut them for you.

You can also order them from Blindster, and if they’re the wrong size, you can get the right size for free. Even if it’s your fault.

Dude, just take your measurements to Lowe’s and have them cut to size.

There’s literally 4 screws to put in for each set of blinds

Did you put up blinds for your entire extended family?

You can really tell the difference between tradesmen and white collar workers sometimes in OT. Thankful I’ll never have to pay somebody to do something as simple as this lol

If you cant measure and install blinds, you might as well just turn in your man card.

I thought all the OTers had custom made window treatments in their houses.
