Why Arlington homeowners start with the price
Arlington is two housing markets sharing one county. Along the Rosslyn–Ballston corridor and down through Crystal City, most people live behind a wall of glass: condo and apartment towers with wide windows, afternoon sun and neighbors across the street. North and south of the Metro lines it's detached houses — 1920s to 1940s brick colonials, Cape Cods and bungalows with smaller, older double-hung windows that were never quite square.
The right window covering is completely different in each, and so is the right price. That's why we show you the numbers before anyone visits.
Blinds, shades & curtains for Arlington homes
High-rise and mid-rise condos
Big spans of glass usually want solar or light-filtering roller shades that cut glare and keep the view, or zebra shades that switch between daylight and privacy without a second set of curtains. For bedrooms, a blackout roller or a ceiling-track drape goes edge to edge. Many buildings ask for a white or neutral backing on anything visible from the street — tell us your building and we'll work to its rules, including booking the service elevator.
Colonials, Capes and bungalows
Older frames are rarely square, which is the single best reason to have someone measure rather than ordering off the internet. Cellular shades are the quiet workhorse here: they insulate single-pane and older double-pane glass, and the top-down/bottom-up version gives street privacy while letting light in over the top. Roman shades suit the proportions of a 1930s window beautifully.

Outdoor patio blinds for Arlington decks and porches
Arlington balconies and townhouse decks catch the full afternoon sun. A zip-track outdoor screen keeps a west-facing balcony usable on a July evening and stops the heat before it reaches the glass. Condo balconies usually need building approval for anything fixed to the structure — we'll give you the specs and colors to submit.

Fair questions from Arlington County
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.
Do you work in high-rise condo buildings?
Yes. Most of Arlington's towers have rules about installation hours, the service elevator and street-facing linings. Tell us the building when you book and we'll plan around them.
My windows are huge. Is motorization worth it?
On wide or tall glass it often is: one shade can be heavy to lift by hand, and a remote or schedule means the shades actually get used. Every style we make can be motorized, and the calculator shows the difference.
Can you put blinds in an older house where the windows aren't square?
That's exactly why we measure in person. We check each opening in several places and decide between an inside mount and an outside mount window by window, so nothing gaps or rubs.
