FAQs

What are people putting in their windows right now?

People are putting everything in their windows.  You don’t have to put the same thing in every window;  you can mix and match depending on your budget and needs.  You can splurge on a main window with a Silhouette and complement it with Nantuckets on the others.  That’s what great about Hunter Douglas, there’s such a great variety of products to fit your budget and your lifestyle.

I have vinyl windows. Can you install blinds on these types of windows?

Our Certified Hunter Douglas installers can work with all types of windows.  There are some vinyl-window companies that will even allow “inside mount” installations, which involves drilling into the vinyl window.  But due to warranty issues, we’ll need permission from your builder or window company before we drill into the vinyl.

How long does it take for me to get my blinds?

It usually takes about three weeks from when your blinds are ordered, to the time they’re installed in your home.

What about skylights or arches? Would you recommend coverings on these types of windows?

More than likely, you paid a lot of money for these beautiful types of windows and unless there’s a sun issue, we should keep that skylight or arch open.  And if there is a heat or glare issue, we do have products which compliment these types of windows and function beautifully.

Pella Window issues! Can you help?

I have a Pella window and was told I can only install blinds on the outside of the window frame.  I really don’t want to cover up my window trim, can you help?

In most instances, we can install our blinds what we call “inside mount” on your Pella windows.  It’s a specific skill set, an art really, our Hunter Douglas-certified installers have learned and inside mount is our preferred method of installation – we don’t want to cover up your beautiful woodwork either.

How much does a typical blind cost?

You can spend anywhere from around a hundred dollars up to a thousand dollars, or more, on an “average-sized” window, depending on how elaborate and ornate you want to get.  But remember, this is a custom treatment, built to your specifications, and we’ll listen to what your needs, meet your budget, and get the right product at the right price for you.
