Michael Payne’s Window Décor Tip of the Month:
Control your “Day-Lighting” with Window Fashions!

There’s just no better place in your room to make it look its best than at your windows, and it all starts by having the perfect control over the light that enters there. It’s best when there are more options that just “open” and “closed”, since the quality and strength of light varies all day long. Layering levels of light control, such as draperies over shades or blinds, or sheers under lined draperies, give you the most flexibility in allowing just the right amount of light into any room, and can save you money in heating and cooling bills almost immediately. This can also protect your interiors from the sun’s harmful UV light that can damage colors, fabrics and finishes. Have a chat with your Window Fashions Professional to get a good assessment on how you can protect both your rooms AND your wallet with window treatments that work for you!

Control the Sunlight You Allow into Your Rooms, and Save $$$ Too!

With summer sunlight with us again, attention turns outdoors to the uplifting light that shines on us nearly every day. It’s wonderful having daylight streaming though our windows, too, and the longer days mean more time to enjoy summer weather indoors and out.

But the added strength of summer sunlight can soak colors right out of unprotected indoor fabrics at your windows and upholstery fabrics placed well into any room, causing premature aging and fading, at costly replacement. As much as we love the color and quality of sunlight, it can also cause summer energy bills to soar by overheating indoor air near uncovered windows, spreading unwelcome warmth throughout you home, and making life less comfortable. Your home air-conditioning has to work much harder just to keep the indoors tolerable when it’s hot, and that can cost big bucks.

Hunter Douglas has the answer to your problems . Chose one of the many energy efficient window treatments that Hunter Douglas has to offer. All shades , blinds, and shutters can be motorized.

We repair broken shades and blinds

Posted on August 1, 2012 by charlie marshall

If cords are worn or broken, the shade can be restrung .
The shades are lifted open all the way to the top and then locked into place. The hardware, repeatedly, clamps
onto the string at the same spot, which causes the string to wear through and then break.
The main reason the string breaks in mini blinds is because the slats are not completely open when raising
and lowering the blind. Blinds with slats should always be in the open position before pulling on the string.
We are familiar with all the major brands, Hunter Douglas, Lafayette, Comfortex, and Grabor.

Wood Blinds and Shutters grace the interior of your home with nature’s natural beauty. Unlike most man made materials, nature’s special creations are uniquely individual and full of character. Just like fingerprints, no two trees are identical.The appearance of the wood from any given tree depends upon the history of the tree. Growth factors such as the species, climate, soil and weather combine with how the tree was harvested and dried to produce the unique characteristics found in each and every piece of wood. Even within a single tree, a variety of unique features will be found from one piece of wood to the next.Therefore, in selecting Wood Blinds or Shutters for your home, it is important that you understand some of the characteristics common to wood fashions that are considered the wood’s natural beauty, not flaws.

There is no installation fee when you order Hunter Douglas or Lafayette blinds from us.

Cool Air In; Hot Air Out… And Vice Versa!

By selecting window fashions made from materials with appropriate thermal qualities, you can actually save money by beautifying your rooms. So many beautiful high-tech window fashion fabrics and other innovative materials now exist that you won’t believe you’re looking at something that will enhance your lifestyle while helping you save energy and adding value to your home! You needn’t go running out to find any of these marvels either… I’ll be happy to drop by and should you the full range of what’s possible whenever it is convenient!

Layering Works in Summer, too!

Just as layers of clothing keep us warmer in winter, layers of window fashions add warmth in winter, and cool in summer by adding even more thermal protection at your windows. By simply adding one of the new woven, see-though solar shadings below your existing window fashions, you can add up to 95% UV protection from damaging sunlight without blocking your outdoor views, and keep your rooms cooler at the same time! Conversely, beautiful blinds and shadings work well beneath draperies, valences and cornices to bring privacy and thermal protection to your rooms, year-round.

While anytime is a good time to beautify your home with custom window fashions, now is the perfect time to start getting your home ready for the next temperature extremes, and still have everything done before family entertaining and holiday seasons arrive. Call me today and we’ll get started!

Client Testimonials

Mary Jane C. "Mr. Marshall was a delight to work with from the initial contact. He responded quickly to a phone message, even before I anticipated, and was available for a consultation on short notice. That was important because the windows in my house had just been replaced and we wanted new "honeycomb" fabric blinds installed as quickly as possible. He was also available for an early evening appointment, which my husband and I greatly appreciated. Although we wanted the blinds quickly, we also wanted good quality blinds, and he had excellent options from which to choose, along with a good range of color selections. We also had the good fortune of being able to take advantage of a special offer that saved us nearly a $1,000.00 on the blinds we preferred. As promised, the blinds arrived in two weeks, even a couple of days earlier, and Mr. Marshall arranged an appointment to install them at our earliest convenience. Again, as promised, he had the blinds (21) installed in about two hours. We will definitely choose to go to him if we decide to install window treatments, and I gladly recommend his services."

S.Trask Vender promptly called and made appointment to come to home to take measurements for shades. Showed up exactly on time and on day promised. Took measurements and told me they would be ordered and should arrive in about 2 weeks. Called just one week after measurements were taken and said shades were ready to hang. Came out next day to hang them. They fit perfectly and look very nice. He cleaned up any mess from installation and disposed of my old shades. Was able to pay for balance with my master card which is a feature I always look for.

B. Whitehouse This was the second time I have worked with Charlie. He is great to work with. He has a lot of experience. He made suggestions and was very patient with me while deciding fabrics/ design. He installed all of the products (blinds, shutters, and drapes) very well. I had a small issue with the shutter; he resolved it quickly and without problem. I would work with Charlie again and I would recommend him!

Mrs. Gibb After I ordered the product, he called as soon as it arrived, a head of schedule. He than arrived at the scheduled time to installed the window coverings. He was very efficient and pleasant while performing the task. I was concerned about some loose threads and he took care of them and assured me that if in the future a problem arose, the company would replace the panels.

Vicki Miller He was very quick to respond to my phone calls and to providing his service. When he hung the finished draperies he went to great lengths to make sure they were hung with absolute precision! He is not only very skilled and professional but also a very nice man!
