Frequently Asked Questions
Installation Questions:
-
- Once you’ve had your free consultation, your windows have been measured, and your new custom window coverings ordered, your blinds replacement and installation can be completed in as little as two weeks.
- During your custom blind installation appointment, please allow at least 2 hours for installers to complete the job. Installations involving multiple windows will take longer, and we recommend that you ask your blind installer to estimate how much time they’ll need to get the job done right.
- Actual timelines may vary according to the Installer’s schedule and product availability.
-
While plenty of options are available for purchase in-store, custom blinds installation offers a broader range of styles, colours, brands and materials, sized to fit your windows, tailored to match your budget and professionally installed to your satisfaction.
-
- The average curtain installation cost for a whole house (7 – 8 windows) is very similar to the cost of blinds replacement and installation, including labour.
- While most blinds are made of metal, faux wood, or PVC plastic, curtains come in many different fabric options, resulting in a wider range of prices.
- Unlike custom blinds, shades or shutters, curtains are not necessarily designed to fit precisely over your windows.
- With decades of experience and a full catalogue of top brands, The Home Depot’s custom blind installers are committed to providing you with the best value and timely delivery of your custom blinds, shades, and shutters.
-
- If you possess moderate to advanced handyman experience and enlist the aid of at least one other person, DIY installation can save you money on labour costs.
- By hiring a professional blind installer, however, you can ensure the best results for your custom blinds installation. Our installers can provide you with more options and custom solutions, personalized for your lifestyle, comfort, and needs. With a standard 1-year parts and labour warranty, they will strive to ensure your satisfaction with their work.
Motorized Blinds Questions:
-
- Your motorized blinds installation cost will depend on the scope of your project and types of motorized blinds you choose, as well as other factors unique to your home and your project.
- With your scheduled in-home consultation, our design consultants will build a project that works best for your home and budget and provide a detailed quote for their services.
-
- While you can purchase motorized blinds off the shelf and install them yourself, you will not have access to the range of product options available to you and custom measured by our professional motorized blinds installers.
- Not only does professional motorized blinds installation help to ensure the best results in terms of custom fit and function; some types of motorized blinds need to be hard-wired and require the expertise of our professional installers.
-
While smart blinds may be easy to install, you’ll get the best results and the best fit when you hire our professional smart blinds installers. All window coverings available through this service are custom-ordered and built to measure to ensure a precise match for your home’s windows.
-
Not all cordless blinds are motorized. But if you want window coverings that can be controlled remotely, or even automatic blinds installation options that can be pre-programmed to a schedule, ask our expert design consultants about the range of motorized blinds installation options available to you.
