Got Window Treatment Questions? We've Got Answers!
We’ve pulled together the questions we hear most from homeowners and businesses across Southeast Michigan. Dusty blinds, a broken shade, or a whole room that needs a fresh new look? You’ll find straight answers right here. And if you don’t see your question, give us a call. We’re always happy to help!
CLEANING
What types of window treatments do you clean?
We clean blinds, shades, and drapes of all kinds. No job is too big or too small, and our advanced cleaning methods get great results without damaging delicate materials.
How do you clean blinds and drapes?
We use ultrasonic cleaning for blinds and shades, which gently lifts dirt, dust, and grime from every slat and fold. For draperies, we offer on site injection extraction cleaning, so your drapes can be deep cleaned without coming down.
How often should blinds and drapes be professionally cleaned?
Every 1 to 2 years is a good rule of thumb for most homes. Kitchens, homes with pets, and rooms with a lot of sun or foot traffic may need it more often.
For more information, check out our blog: How Frequent Should You Clean Your Blinds, Shades, & Drapes?
Is professional blind cleaning worth it?
For most people, yes. Professional cleaning gets into spots a rag or duster can’t reach, it’s safe for delicate fabrics, and it costs a fraction of what new window treatments would. It can also help your blinds and drapes last a lot longer.
Do you offer commercial blind and drapery cleaning?
Yes! We clean window treatments for offices, businesses, and other commercial spaces across Southeast Michigan. We can work with your schedule to keep disruptions to a minimum.
Are you a Certified Fabricare Specialist?
Yes! We’re proud to be one of the few Certified Fabricare Specialists in the country. That means our team is trained in the proper care and cleaning of delicate fabrics, including on site injection extraction cleaning for draperies. Your window treatments get cleaned the right way, without the risk of shrinking, fading, or damage.
REPAIR
Can you repair blinds and shades instead of replacing them?
Absolutely. We repair just about any window treatment product out there. If your blinds are broken, bent, or just not working right, give us a call before assuming you need to replace them.
What kinds of blind and shade repairs do you do?
We handle broken cords, stuck lift systems, damaged slats, tilt mechanisms that won’t turn, and a whole lot more. If it’s not working the way it should, chances are we can fix it.
Is it cheaper to repair or replace my blinds?
In most cases, repairing is the more affordable option. If your blinds have several issues, heavy sun damage, or are just really old, replacing them might make more sense. We’ll give you an honest take on both so you can decide what’s best.
Do you repair Hunter Douglas window treatments?
Yes! As a certified Hunter Douglas installer and Power Professional, we know their products inside and out, including their motorized options.
PRODUCTS
What brands do you carry?
We carry top brands including Hunter Douglas, Graber, Norman, Alta, and Carole Fabrics. We’re also a certified Hunter Douglas installer, Power Professional, and Design Expert, so you’re getting real expertise with those products.
Do you offer motorized or smart blinds?
Yes, we carry motorized blinds for both homes and businesses. We can walk you through all the options during your consultation and help you find the right fit for your space.
What are the best window treatments for blocking light and keeping rooms comfortable?
Cellular shades are a top pick since their honeycomb design helps insulate your windows and keep rooms more comfortable year round. For blocking light, blackout shades and lined drapes are great options for bedrooms and media rooms.
What's the difference between real wood and composite shutters?
Real wood shutters are lighter and come in a wide range of stain options for a warm, classic look. Composite shutters hold up better against moisture and humidity, which makes them a great choice for kitchens and bathrooms.
Do you make custom drapes?
We do! We offer custom grommet top, pinch pleat, rod pocket, and sheer drapes, plus valances. Our designers can help you pick the style, fabric, and fit that brings your vision to life.
What are the safest blinds for homes with kids and pets?
Cordless and motorized window treatments are the safest options since they don’t have dangling cords. We carry plenty of styles that look great and give you peace of mind.
