What type of blinds or shades do you need?

Basic roller blinds cost $30–$100 per window. Motorized roller blinds run $150–$500 per window. Custom-sized options cost $100–$350 per window. A full-home installation (15–20 windows) ranges from $450–$7,000+ depending on material, motorization, and custom sizing requirements.

Motorized blinds are worth it for hard-to-reach windows, large window walls, and smart home integration. They also reduce wear (no manual handling) and offer programmable schedules for energy savings. Costs have dropped significantly — many options now start under $200 per window with smart home compatibility.

Solar shades with 1–3% openness factor block 95–99% of UV rays while preserving outward visibility. Blackout roller blinds block 100% of light and provide maximum insulation. Dual roller systems (sheer + blockout on one bracket) offer the most flexibility for light and heat control.
