Why McLean homeowners start with the price
McLean has been rebuilding itself one lot at a time for decades. Original 1950s and 1960s ramblers and split-levels still line streets in Chesterbrook and Franklin Park, but more and more of them are giving way to new custom houses with two-story entries, great rooms, arched transoms and rear walls of glass facing the trees. Closer to Tysons, it's condos and townhouses with wide modern windows.
Big windows are where window coverings get expensive, and where most companies are most reluctant to give you a number. We'd rather you saw it first.
Blinds, shades & curtains for McLean homes
New builds and major renovations
If you've just finished a build, the windows are the last thing standing between you and a finished house. Motorized shades are close to essential on anything you can't reach from the floor, and they can be wired or battery-powered depending on how far along the drywall is. Custom drapery on the main-floor rooms, blackout in the bedrooms and solar shades on the rear glass is the most common combination we see.
Arched and specialty windows
Arches, half-rounds and transoms are often left bare because nobody wants to deal with them. Many can be covered, some shouldn't be, and it depends on the room. We'll tell you honestly at the visit.
Ramblers and split-levels
The original houses have simpler, lower windows that suit cellular or Roman shades, and a whole-house refresh is where seeing the total up front helps most.

Outdoor patio blinds for McLean decks and porches
Screened porches, covered patios and pool pavilions are part of the McLean house. A motorized zip-track screen on each opening turns a porch into a room you can use from April to October, and a wind sensor retracts it by itself when a summer storm comes through.

Fair questions from Fairfax 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.
How do you reach two-story windows?
We bring the ladders and staging for it. For the day-to-day, motorized shades are the practical answer on anything above arm's reach: remote, wall switch, app or schedule.
We're mid-construction. When should we talk to you?
Before the drywall goes up, if you want hardwired motors or hidden pockets for shades. Otherwise, battery motors mean we can measure once the windows are in and trimmed.
Can arched windows have coverings?
Many can, with fixed or operable arch shades, or by treating the rectangle below and leaving the arch to show. It depends on the room's light and how the arch sits. We'll show you both at the visit.
