Every kind of space has its own window problem. Tap yours to see the problems we fix and the shades we usually recommend.
Units that match, and a vendor who shows up.
Sound familiar?
- A unit is ready to rent, except the blinds.
- Every unit has different, half-broken blinds from three past vendors.
- The leasing office and common areas get afternoon glare.
What we usually recommend
One shade style and fabric for the whole building, so every unit and every window looks the same from the street. Light-filtering for units, solar for lobbies and leasing offices.
Offices, conference rooms, lobbiesNo more glare on the screens at 3 p.m.
Sound familiar?
- People complain about glare on their monitors every afternoon.
- The west-facing conference room is useless when the sun is low.
- The front of the office looks unfinished to clients.
What we usually recommend
Solar shades where people work, so the glare drops but the view stays. Blackout in conference and training rooms for presentations. Motorized on tall glass and big rows of windows.
Restaurants, cafés, barsGuests stop squinting at dinner.
Sound familiar?
- The evening sun hits the window tables right at the dinner rush.
- Guests ask to move, and the best seats sit empty.
- Glare on the screens at the counter.
What we usually recommend
Solar shades on the sunny side, so guests keep the view without the glare. Motorized on big or high windows, so staff can lower a whole wall with one tap during service.
Stores, showrooms, salonsControl the sun without hiding the store.
Sound familiar?
- Strong sun pours onto the products in the front window.
- Glare on the screens and the checkout.
- Covering the windows would hide the store from the street.
What we usually recommend
Solar shades: they cut the sun and glare while people can still see in from the sidewalk during the day. Clean roller shades that look sharp from inside and outside.
Privacy for patients. Calm in the waiting room.
Sound familiar?
- Exam and treatment rooms face a parking lot or the street.
- Glare on screens and monitors in the treatment rooms.
- The waiting room feels harsh and bright.
What we usually recommend
Light-filtering or blackout where patients need privacy, so the room stays usable and nobody sees in. Solar or light-filtering in the waiting room for soft, even light.
Clubhouses, HOAs, event spacesBig windows, handled with one tap.
Sound familiar?
- Huge windows and vaulted rooms nobody can reach.
- Glare across the dining room during lunch and events.
- The room needs to look finished for every event.
What we usually recommend
Motorized solar shades on the big glass, so staff can lower a whole room at once and guests keep the view. Blackout where the space is used for presentations or screenings.
Hand us the window scope. We'll price it.
Sound familiar?
- The window covering scope is still open on a build-out.
- You need a sub who measures right and shows up on schedule.
- Your client wants motorized, and you need someone who installs it.
How we work with you
Send the drawings or a window list and we'll price it. We measure on site once the openings are finished, make every shade to size, and install with our own team.
A business isn't a bigger house.
More windows, more people, and more eyes on how it looks. Here's what we plan for on every commercial job.
Every window matches
Same style, same fabric, same height, from inside and from the street. No patchwork of old vendors.
Glare where it matters
We look at which way each room faces and when the sun hits it, then pick the fabric for the work done there.
One tap, a whole zone
Motorized shades can be grouped, so a whole room or a whole wall of glass moves together.
Planned with you
Tell us when your space is quiet and who needs to approve, and we plan the measure and install with you.
The right shade for every kind of room.
All of these are custom roller shades we make, measured to each window. Most businesses use two or three.
Solar shades
Cut glare and sun while keeping the view. The workhorse for offices, lobbies, storefronts and dining rooms.
See roller & solarBlackout shades
Dark rooms on demand for conference rooms, training rooms, screenings and treatment rooms.
See blackoutLight-filtering shades
Soft, bright light with daytime privacy. Good for waiting rooms, exam rooms and apartment units.
See light-filteringZebra shades
Light or privacy in one shade. A softer look for reception areas, boutiques and salons.

Any of the above with a motor. One tap moves a whole zone, and nothing hangs down to break.
See motorizedNot sure what you need?
That's what the free on-site assessment is for. We walk the space, count the windows, check the glare, and tell you what we'd put where.
Book an assessment belowLots of windows? That's where motors pay off.
Many businesses mix them: motorized on tall or busy glass, manual in private offices and units.
Simple and lower cost
Each shade is raised and lowered by hand. Great for private offices, exam rooms and apartment units.
- Lowest cost per window
- Nothing to charge
- Best for windows people can easily reach
A whole zone with one tap
Group shades by room or by wall, or put them on a schedule, so the sunny side closes itself every afternoon.
- Tall glass nobody can reach
- Rows of windows that should move together
- No cords or chains to break or tangle
The usual pick for every kind of space.
A starting point, not a rule. At the assessment we check which way each room faces and how it's used.
| Space | Usual pick | Why | Motorize it? |
|---|---|---|---|
| Open office, desks with screens | Solar | Cuts glare, keeps the view | Yes, for long rows of glass |
| Conference & training rooms | Blackout | Dark for screens and presentations | Yes, one tap before the meeting |
| Lobby & reception | Solar or light-filtering | Bright, even light that looks finished | Yes, on tall glass |
| Storefront & showroom | Solar | Controls sun, still see in by day | Often |
| Restaurant dining room | Solar | No squinting, view kept | Yes, during service |
| Exam & treatment rooms | Light-filtering or blackout | Patient privacy | Usually manual |
| Apartment units | Light-filtering | Bright, private, every unit matches | Usually manual |

5 mistakes businesses make with window shades.
We see these in offices, buildings and storefronts all the time. Each one costs money twice.
A patchwork of vendors
Different shades in every office or unit make the whole building look unfinished, inside and from the street.
Do this instead: pick one style and fabric family and use it everywhere.
Blackout in the open office
It kills the daylight, so people close the shades and turn the lights on all day.
Do this instead: solar where people work, blackout only where you present.
Manual shades on tall glass
Nobody can reach them, so they stay half down forever and the room looks messy.
Do this instead: motorize tall glass and long rows of windows.
Standard sizes from a catalog
Cut-down stock shades leave uneven gaps, and across forty windows it shows.
Do this instead: get every shade made to its exact window.
Measuring before the walls are done
On a build-out, measuring before trim and drywall are finished means shades that don't fit.
Do this instead: bring us in early to plan, and measure once the openings are finished.
One local team, from the first walk-through to the last shade.
No call center and no hand-offs. You deal with the same people the whole way.

What kinds of businesses do you work with?
Offices, apartment and condo buildings, storefronts and showrooms, restaurants and cafes, medical and dental offices, clubhouses and event spaces. We also work with general contractors and designers on build-outs.
How do you price a commercial job?
We come out for a free on-site assessment, count and measure every window, and check the glare. Then you get a written quote, room by room, that you can forward to whoever approves it.
What shade is best for glare on computer screens?
Solar shades, in most offices. They cut the glare and the sun while people can still see outside, so the room stays bright. For conference and training rooms that need to go dark for screens, choose blackout.
Can a whole floor or a whole wall of windows move together?
Yes. Motorized shades can be grouped, so a whole room, a whole wall of glass or a whole zone moves with one tap or on a schedule.
Do you work with apartment buildings and unit turnovers?
Yes. We can set one shade style and fabric for the building so every unit matches. Tell us how many units you have and how often they turn over, and we will talk through how to keep it simple.
Can you install without shutting down my business?
Tell us when your space is quiet and when it is busy, and we will work out an install time with you before we schedule anything.
Can you work with our general contractor or designer?
Yes. Send the drawings or a window list and we will price it. We measure on site once the openings are finished, so every shade fits.
What paperwork can you provide for our building?
Tell us on the first call what your building or management company needs from vendors, and we will tell you straight what we can send.
How long does a commercial job take?
It depends on how many windows and how many floors. You get a timeline together with your written quote, so you can plan around it.
Do I have to commit to anything at the assessment?
No. The on-site assessment is free. You get a written quote and take as long as you need to get it approved.
