Blinds give you something shades do not: slat control. Tilt them to let light in while keeping privacy, or close them completely. We make custom blinds to your exact windows — real wood and quality faux wood for classic horizontal blinds, and verticals for wide sliders and balcony doors — installed clean and operating smoothly.
Wood and faux wood horizontals
Real wood blinds bring warmth and a substantial, high-end feel; quality faux wood resists humidity and is ideal for kitchens and bathrooms. Both give you precise tilt control over light and privacy. We size the slat and the stain or paint to the room so they read tailored, not builder-grade.
Verticals for wide openings
For sliding doors, balcony openings, and very wide windows, vertical blinds remain the most practical choice — they stack tight to one side and let you control light across a big span. We fabricate them in updated materials and clean finishes that look nothing like the dated verticals people picture.
Wide glass and balcony doors are where blinds quietly beat shades on everyday function.

When blinds, when shades
Blinds win when you want slat-level control or are dressing a wide slider. Shades win when you want a softer look or a specific opacity. Many homes use both, room by room — we help you place each where it performs best, with a coordinated finish throughout.
