  • Free In-Home Estimate

    We come to you with samples and measure every window ourselves. No showroom trip, no pressure, and no charge to find out what it costs.

  • Made To Your Measurements

    Every product is built to the sizes we take at your window, not cut down from something off a shelf. Most orders arrive in two to three weeks.

  • Installed By The Person Who Quoted It

    Whoever you deal with during the sale is who fits the product. You are not passed along to a crew you have never met.

Who We Are

A Family Operation Without A Showroom

The business changed hands seventeen years ago and has been run the same way since. There is no showroom with the bells and whistles, which is part of why the pricing works. We bring the samples to your kitchen table instead.

Whoever you deal with at the start is who you deal with when the product goes in. You are assigned one person and you keep them from the first measurement through to the last bracket.

What We Do

Shades, Blinds, Shutters, Awnings And Screens

Everything here is custom made to the measurements we take at your window, then installed by us. We carry Hunter Douglas, Graber, Norman and Phantom, and we have yet to find a window we could not cover.

  • Motorized & Automated Shades

    Shades you run from a remote, your phone or a schedule. The motor charges from a cable or a solar strip, so we can automate windows in a house that was never wired for it.

Motorized Shades Without Rewiring
The Question We Get Most

Motorized Shades Without Rewiring

People assume automating a window means opening a wall. It usually does not. A rechargeable motor lives in the shade and a solar strip keeps it topped up, so the window needs no power run to it at all.

  • Rechargeable motors charge from a cable a few times a year
  • Solar-charged options keep themselves going on their own
  • Same install work for us as a manual shade, so the difference in price is the motor
About Motorized Shades
Screens That Disappear In October
For The Porch And The View

Screens That Disappear In October

A fixed screen sits in the opening all year and grays the view out of it. A retractable one rolls into its housing when the bugs have gone, which is why the lake houses tend to choose them.

  • Rolls away completely when you are not using it
  • Doors, French doors and porch openings much wider than a door
  • Motorized on the wide spans, manual where a hand pull is fine

Asked Questions

The Questions We Get Most

  • Yes. Rechargeable and solar-charged motors mean the window needs no power run to it, so we can automate rooms that were never wired for it. It is the question we get asked most, and for us the install is the same amount of work as a manual shade.

  • Two to three weeks on most products, counted from the day we take your measurements. Nearly everyone asks, so we would rather tell you before you have to.

  • Every window covering we sell comes with a lifetime warranty. That covers the shades, blinds and shutters we supply, for as long as you have them.

  • Not so far. Tall windows, arched windows, angled glass and two-story walls of it are all normal work for us. We have yet to find one we could not cover.

  • Marcel Wall Motorized shades, new build
    Rated 5 out of 5

    Vermont Shade and Blind, namely Ryan who is the owner, primary contact, and installer exceeded our expectations. Ryan offered advice on various products and did a wonderful job of installing 15 automatic window shades in our newly built home.

  • Elizabeth Wyckoff Homeowner
    Rated 5 out of 5

    Ryan was a joy to work with! He listened to our needs and gave great suggestions without overwhelming us with too many choices. The installation was flawless and we're thrilled with the result!

  • Greg Stachnyk Awning and retractable screen
    Rated 5 out of 5

    Their service was responsive and professional with my past awning purchase, which is why I called them for my new screen and why I will call them again for my next project.
