Before you book curtain rod, blind & smart shade installation
Quick things that save a trip. Tick them off as you go; none of it is required to book.
Choose the style before the visit
Decide whether you want blinds, shades, curtains or a mix. Mention light control, privacy and insulation so the pro can help choose.
Measure each window
Measure the width and height of each window, inside the frame and outside. Write down the measurements for each room, and let the pro check them before you order.
Send photos of the windows
Pictures of each window, the frame, trim and ceiling help the pro see obstacles such as cranks, vents or moldings.
Know the curtain weight
Heavy lined drapes need studs or strong anchors. Tell the pro the type and weight of the curtains so they bring the right rod and fixings.
Plan for power with smart shades
For motorized shades, note where outlets are or whether the shade uses batteries or solar. The setup depends on how the shade is powered.

If children or pets are in the home, ask about cordless blinds, cord cleats and tension devices.
