Custom Window Shades

Posted on July 7, 2011 by charlie marshall

Save Your Interior Colors
With Advanced Window Fashions Technology!

As wonderful as it might be to just run out and get all new furnishings for your home, the costs of doing so are obviously prohibitive. Then there’s no guarantee that you won’t end up with something you love LESS than what you’ve treasured before. Yes, fabrics can fade, wood pieces and paint colors can sun-bleach over time, and then what? Custom Draperies byDesigners Touch can help you decide what window treatments will be most helpful in keeping your furnishing from fading. How can you keep your valuable home furnishings safe from the sun’s powerful effects? What can you do to protect the things you’ve placed in your home to make it “home”? The answer is “prevention”, which doesn’t really fix what’s already faded, but you know what they always say about “an ounce of prevention…”

Roman shades and roller shades will protect your rooms from sun fade when down and let all the light you need when pulled up.

Gorgeous Window Fashions for Large and Unique Windows!

Newer and older homes alike can have window shapes that might appear challenging when it comes to choosing the right window treatment for maximum practicality, beauty and functionality.

Some windows can be left partially uncovered to allow light in whenever it’s day time, with luxurious lined custom draperies and sheers to control light over the rest of the window area. Other layers might be custom shades or blinds in natural or man-made fibers that add texture to the light, or block it altogether. Window fashions that are designed to fit specific and unique window shapes can maximize the window style, and provide a distinctive personality to your home you’ll love. I have extensive experience making windows of all types and sizes into spectacular focal points in many homes, and I’d love to show you some possibilities for your windows, too!

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!
