Custom Window Treatments in Ogunquit

Yes — we design and install custom window treatments throughout Ogunquit, from the village and Perkins Cove to the homes along the Shore Road corridor and the neighborhoods off Route 1. Many of our Ogunquit clients are seasonal or second-home owners, so we are used to compressing projects into one or two visits and coordinating with caretakers or property managers when the owners are away. Consultations are free, and we tailor every recommendation to the home’s coastal character.

Treatments that feel airy, relaxed, and easy to live with: woven shades, Roman shades, solar shades, and simple linen-look drapery are the usual palette. The best answer depends on whether a room needs more softness, more privacy, or more durability — a front porch sitting room and a rental-ready guest room have different jobs. In Ogunquit we aim for elegant but never stiff; the treatment should feel like part of the cottage, not a formal import.

Filter the light rather than block it. Sheer shadings, solar shades, woven shades with light liners, and light-filtering rollers all soften the harshness of midday coastal sun while keeping rooms bright and open. The fabric choice is the whole game: openness factor and color determine how much view, glare reduction, and UV protection you get. We often test actual samples in the room at the brightest time of day before committing — the difference is easy to see.

Yes. Automated schedules run whether you are in the next room or another state: shades lower against the strong afternoon sun to protect floors and furnishings, rise for morning light, and shift position often enough that the house reads as occupied. You can check and control everything from your phone. For Ogunquit’s many seasonal owners this is the single most persuasive feature of motorization — the house takes care of itself between visits.

They are usually the only good answer. Ogunquit homes with two-story windows, transoms above sliders, or stairwell glass have openings no one can reach, which means the light and heat go unmanaged year after year. Quiet battery-powered motors solve it without any wiring: the shade installs like any other, then runs from a remote, app, or schedule. Once the unreachable windows start behaving like every other window, rooms that used to overheat or glare simply stop.
