Looking at timelines – your consultation will take 30-75 minutes (give or take). At your consultation, we can decide on your window coverings and take accurate measurements of the windows in your home. Your quote will be back to you within 24-48 hours of your consultation. For most custom window coverings, plantation shutters being the exception, the shipping time from the manufacturer is between 2-3 weeks. Plantation shutters will take 4-10 weeks, depending on the size and scale of the project. Most other products (wood or faux wood blinds, cellular or honeycomb shades, roller and solar shades, Roman shades, sheers and draperies, etc.) can be delivered within 3 weeks of placing the order. Give yourself some extra time so that everything comes together smoothly. We will schedule an installation date once your product arrives at Made in the Shade.
Budget! This is something we all want to know! Made in the Shade Blinds offers various choices from several manufacturers – Hunter Douglas, Graber, Horizons, Maxxmar, Shade-O-Matic and Norman Shutters – and there is a bit of variance in the price ranges. The size of your windows also factors your costs…the larger the window, the more pricey the window covering (of course). One of the most cost-effective window covering products would be faux-wood blinds. Fabrics and natural woven woods generally require more investment, as do plantation shutters. Pleated, roller and solar shades tend to fall more into the budget-conscious category, and cellulars (depending upon the brand) fall pretty much in the middle of the road. I think you would be surprised when you do comparison shopping!
