Build or Remodel?
Window Treatment Guide for Your New Home Build or Remodel
Building a new home or undertaking a major remodel is an incredibly exciting journey. It’s a major project, and as you watch your vision come to life, it’s easy to focus on the big picture. But often, one of the most critical finishing touches gets overlooked until the very end: the windows are left bare. Planning for your window treatments early in the process is essential, not just for style, but for ensuring privacy, controlling temperature, and making your new space truly comfortable from the moment you move in.
At NorthShore Window Treatments, our mission is to bring ease, style, and lasting comfort to your project.
Get Started Early
The ideal time to start thinking about your window treatments is as soon as your paint colors are chosen. This allows for a proper timeline for selection, ordering, and production, ensuring your custom treatments are ready when your home is.
Consultation & Selection
We highly recommend an in-home consultation or a visit to our showroom early in your project. This allows our designers to work with you to discuss fabric options, mounting styles, and how your new shades will integrate with your overall interior design. Seeing the samples in your space makes all the difference in making a confident choice.
Smart Home Integration
If you’re incorporating smart home technology, the construction phase is the perfect time to plan for motorized window treatments. Hardwiring your shades during construction provides the ultimate convenience and a clean look without visible batteries. We specialize in systems that are compatible with leading smart home technology, including PowerView®, Lutron, Elan, Control4, and voice assistants like Alexa and Google Home.
Function-Driven Choices by Room
We can help you tailor your choices based on function:
- Bedrooms: Room darkening shades for better sleep.
- Living Areas: Light-filtering shades that reduce glare while maintaining a bright, welcoming atmosphere.
- Entryways & Bathrooms: Privacy treatments that provide seclusion without sacrificing style.
Measuring & Order Finalization
Once your walls are taped and mudded, we will take final, precise measurements to ensure a perfect fit for your custom treatments.
Budgeting Tips
We understand that managing a budget is crucial. We can help you anticipate the costs of your window treatments and present a range of options that align with your financial plan. Investing in quality selections like Hunter Douglas shades or real-wood shutters not only enhances your daily comfort but also adds substantial long-term value to your home.
Final Installation & Finish
Our professional installers will complete your project with meticulous care, ensuring your new window treatments look beautiful and function perfectly. The final result is a stylish, comfortable home, finished to perfection.
