Why Alexandria homeowners start with the price
Few places in the region have windows as varied as Alexandria's. Old Town's Federal and Victorian rowhouses have tall, narrow sashes with deep sills and old trim you don't want to drill into carelessly. Del Ray and Rosemont are 1920s bungalows and foursquares with front porches. Carlyle and Potomac Yard are new condos with modern glass. And just over the city line, the Alexandria-address neighborhoods of Fairfax County include some of the most window-heavy houses anywhere — Hollin Hills' mid-century moderns are practically walls of glass.
We measure every one of them in person, and you can see what they'll cost before we come.
Blinds, shades & curtains for Alexandria homes
Rowhouses and historic homes
Tall, narrow windows look best with coverings that respect the vertical line: Roman shades in a natural linen, or inside-mounted cellular shades that disappear into a deep reveal and leave the trim alone. Layering a custom drape over a shade gives a formal front room the finish it was built for.
Bungalows and foursquares
Porch-shaded front rooms tend to be darker than they look, so light-filtering fabrics and top-down/bottom-up shades earn their keep here: privacy at street level, daylight over the top.
Mid-century glass and new condos
Big panes and sliding doors want roller or zebra shades that stack small, or drapes on a ceiling track that clear the glass completely. On a wall of west-facing windows, motorized solar shades on a schedule are the difference between a usable room and a hot one.

Outdoor patio blinds for Alexandria decks and porches
Del Ray porches and West End decks are made for outdoor roll-down shades: drop them for afternoon sun or a bit of privacy from the sidewalk, raise them and the porch looks exactly as it did. If you're in Old Town's historic district, anything fixed to the outside of the house may need review before it goes up — interior coverings don't, and we'll help with the paperwork for anything that does.

Fair questions from Alexandria
Is the in-home consultation free?
Yes. We bring samples to your home, measure every window and leave you with a written quote. There's no charge and no obligation.
Can I see prices before I book?
Yes, that's the point of our price calculator. Pick your styles and count your windows to see an installed price range, then book a visit to confirm it.
Will you drill into the original trim on an old rowhouse?
Only if you want us to. Deep sills usually allow an inside mount that sits within the opening and leaves historic trim untouched. We'll show you the options at the visit.
What works on a mid-century house with walls of glass?
Usually roller or solar shades that roll up into a slim cassette, or drapes on a ceiling track. Both keep the clean lines the house was designed around. Motorization makes a long run of glass easy to manage.
