Custom Window Treatments in Portland

Yes — Portland is our home base. Our showroom is at 936 Brighton Avenue, and we design, measure, and install throughout the city: the West End, Munjoy Hill and the East End, Deering and North Deering, Back Cove, Stroudwater, the Old Port and downtown condos, and everywhere in between. We offer free in-home consultations across Portland, and because we are local, everything from the first measurement to warranty service happens with the same team.

The best treatments for older Portland homes balance architectural character with modern performance. Roman shades, woven shades, shutters, and tailored drapery feel appropriate to the age of the house while still delivering real privacy and light control. Many of Portland’s older windows are not perfectly square, trim details matter, and rooms often have tall ceilings or prominent casings, so precise measuring and proportion are critical — one reason custom treatments fit these houses so much better than stock sizes ever can.

Usually not. Most motorized shades we install in Portland run on quiet rechargeable battery motors hidden inside the headrail, so there is no electrician and no visible wiring — the batteries typically recharge once or twice a year. You control the shades from a remote, a wall control, or a phone app, and you can set schedules so they lower automatically in the evening for privacy and rise with the morning light. Hardwired options exist for new construction and larger projects.

Yes. The motorized and automated systems we install work with the major smart-home platforms — Amazon Alexa, Google Home, and Apple HomeKit — as well as dedicated lighting-control systems in higher-end homes. That means voice commands, app control from anywhere, and scenes that move shades and lights together: “good morning” can raise the bedroom shades, and a single evening scene can close every street-facing window in the house. We handle all the programming and setup at installation.

Four things, mostly: the size of each window, the product type, the fabric or material grade, and the operating system — corded, cordless, top-down/bottom-up, or motorized. We carry products at every price point, from smart, budget-conscious options to fully automated designer systems, so a project can be tailored to almost any budget. We give exact pricing after measuring, and we are happy to design room by room so the investment goes where it matters most in your home.

In many Portland homes, yes — and not only in large ones. Motorization solves tall windows and hard-to-reach stairwell glass, eliminates dangling cords (the safest option for children and pets), and lets you lower every street-facing shade at dusk with one tap instead of walking window to window. Scheduled shades also protect floors and furnishings from sun damage while you are at work. Homeowners who start with one or two motorized rooms almost always expand the system later, so we design it to grow.
