Why Washington homeowners start with the price
Most of the District lives in a rowhouse or a condo, and both come with windows that don't suit anything off the shelf. Victorian rowhouses on Capitol Hill, in Logan Circle, Shaw and Dupont have tall double-hung windows and projecting bay fronts. Georgetown's older townhouses have deep reveals and small panes. The Wardman rowhouses of Petworth and Columbia Heights have their porches and sunrooms. Chevy Chase DC and the Palisades are detached colonials and Tudors. And the new buildings at Navy Yard and the Wharf are glass from floor to ceiling.
Whatever you have, you can see what covering it costs before we come to measure.
Blinds, shades & curtains for Washington homes
Rowhouses and bay windows
A bay is three windows at angles, and each one needs its own shade that meets its neighbors cleanly. Cellular and Roman shades mounted inside each window keep the bay looking like one piece. Tall front-room windows take floor-length drapery well, and street-level rooms benefit from top-down/bottom-up shades for privacy with daylight.
Condos and apartments
Many DC condo boards ask for white or neutral linings on anything visible from the street. Roller and zebra shades with a white back meet that easily, and blackout is close to essential for bedrooms that face the street lights. Tell us the building and we'll work to its rules.
Detached homes
Colonials and Tudors in upper Northwest are the whole-house order: one look throughout, blackout where people sleep, light-filtering where they live.

Outdoor patio blinds for Washington decks and porches
Roof decks and rear patios are some of the most valuable square footage in the city. A zip-track outdoor screen gives a roof deck shade and privacy from the building next door, and a wind sensor pulls it up on its own when a storm comes through. Condo and historic district rules can apply to anything fixed outside — we'll give you specs and colors to submit.

Fair questions from DC
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 handle bay windows?
Each window in the bay gets its own shade, measured and mounted so the edges meet cleanly at the angles. From the street it reads as one continuous treatment.
My condo board has rules about window coverings. Is that a problem?
Not usually. The most common rule is a white or neutral backing on anything facing the street, and most of our fabrics come that way. Send us the rules and we'll check before you order.
Do you work in basement units and English basements?
Yes. Street-level and below-grade windows are where privacy matters most, and top-down/bottom-up or frosted smart film are the usual answers.
