How much do custom window treatments cost in Florida?

What drives the price

Four things set the price of a custom window treatment more than anything else: the size of the glass, the fabric or material, whether it is motorized, and how many windows are being done in one visit. A standard 36 by 60 inch bedroom window and a 16 foot wall of sliders are very different jobs even in the same fabric. Doing ten windows in one trip costs less per window than doing two, because the measure, fabrication setup and install day are shared.

Because we fabricate roller shades in our own Palm City shop, we are not paying a factory's freight and markup on every shade, and we can quote odd sizes, arches and extra-wide sliders without a surcharge for "custom."

Typical installed prices

These are the ranges most of our Treasure Coast and Palm Beach County customers land in. We quote every job after measuring, and the quote is free.

What is included

Every price above includes the in-home measure, fabrication to your measurements, the hardware, installation by our own crew and our workmanship warranty. There is no trip charge inside our service area, from Vero Beach to Palm Beach Gardens, and we do not charge extra for the quote.

Ways to keep the cost down

• Do the whole house, or at least a whole floor, in one visit.
• Choose a standard fascia or cassette; decorative valances add cost.
• Motorize the windows you actually reach for every day (bedroom, main sliders) and keep the rest manual.
• Pick a light filtering fabric for living areas and save blackout for bedrooms and media rooms.
• Ask about dual shades: one bracket, two fabrics, often cheaper than two separate shades.

What costs more than people expect

Side channels on blackout shades, exterior-grade fabric and motors for screens, hand-sewn drapery lining, and very tall windows that need a lift or scaffold to install. None of these are hidden; they show up on the quote as line items so you can decide.
