Serving Cherry Hills Village
Window Treatment Services in Cherry Hills Village, CO
Custom drapery, shades and motorization for the Village's big rooms and bigger windows.
Call Us Now (303) 355-4223Most Cherry Hills Village houses were sited to face the mountains, and that view sends a bill at four in the afternoon. Window treatment services Cherry Hills Village families ask us about usually start with one great room that bakes in west sun, then spread to the rest of the house. Cherry Creek Shade & Drapery has been fitting windows in south Denver since Betty and Dick Hess opened the business in 1968.
Betty's daughter Bonnie and her husband Doug Kershner run it now, still from the showroom at 2438 East 6th Avenue. The drive down University Boulevard into the Village is short enough that a designer can bring sample books to your kitchen table for a free in-home consultation and be back in Cherry Creek before lunch.
One window treatment company handles the whole job: design, custom drapery and hardware, shades, motorization, installation and later repairs. You deal with one family and one phone number.
Custom Window Treatments for Cherry Hills Village Great Rooms
South of Hampden the lots open up, the sidewalks disappear, and the houses get tall. Two-story family rooms, arched transoms over French doors, whole walls of glass facing the Front Range. None of it fits a stock size. Custom window treatments start with a tape measure instead of a catalog, and we measure every opening ourselves, noting where the casing ends and how much stack-back room the drapery will need.
For the tallest glass we usually layer motorized shades for daytime glare under side panels for softness. The shade does the work. The fabric makes the room feel finished.
Curtain and Drapery Installation for Formal Rooms in the Village
Dining rooms and primary suites in Cherry Hills Village still call for full-length drapery, and good curtain and drapery installation is mostly about what you never see. A rod spanning a 14-foot opening needs center supports set into framing, not just drywall anchors. Lined silk is heavy, and the brackets holding it should still be tight in twenty years.
Pick from the drapery fabrics at our showroom or from samples brought to your house. Expect 2 to 10 weeks from order to install depending on the product. Custom drapery with trim sits at the long end, because it is made for your windows rather than pulled off a shelf.
Window Shades Installation Under the Highline Canal Cottonwoods
The Highline Canal winds through the Village under old cottonwoods, and the houses that back onto it get dappled, moving light instead of flat glare. That changes the right answer. A light-filtering shade softens it without killing it. Blackout belongs in bedrooms, not in a room whose best feature is the trees.
Window shades installation and window blinds installation look simple until a window is out of square, which in an older Village ranch is more common than not. We shim mounts so the bottom rail runs level with the sill instead of following a crooked frame. If you want to narrow choices before the visit, browse the blinds and shades we carry.
Motorized Window Treatments and Shutters for Hard-to-Reach Glass
Motorized window treatments earn their cost on glass nobody can reach: clerestories, stairwell windows, the top row in a two-story room. One button, or a timed scene, drops every west-side shade before the sun hits the sofa. Wiring is easiest during a remodel, but battery motors cover most retrofits without opening a wall.
Plenty of Village owners still want plantation shutters in a study or a kids' bath. Window shutters installation follows the same rule as everything else we sell: measured by us, set by our installers, then adjusted until the louvers close tight. If an older set has a snapped tilt rod or a sagging panel, shutter and blind repair can often save it.
Why Cherry Hills Village Has Trusted a Family Shade Shop Since 1968
Cherry Creek Shade & Drapery has belonged to the same family for more than 55 years. Betty and Dick Hess made and hung roller shades; Bonnie and Doug Kershner added drapery, bedding and upholstery. Customers still ask whether it is family owned. It is.
A search for window treatments near me turns up national chains with local storefronts. What you get from us instead is a design consultation with someone who knows how Village light moves through a house, and window treatment services in Cherry Hills Village planned room by room so the kitchen shades and the living room drapery actually go together.
Before anyone drills into your trim, ask them for a certificate of insurance. That goes for us too.

Frequently Asked Questions
What do window treatment services in Cherry Hills Village cost?
It depends on the product, the size of the glass and whether you add motorization, so we do not quote over the phone. The free in-home consultation ends with an estimate for your actual windows, and you can compare options before committing to anything.
Will a designer come to my house in Cherry Hills Village?
Yes. Window treatment services in Cherry Hills Village start with a free in-home consultation with a designer, who brings samples, measures, and talks through light, privacy and budget in the rooms themselves.
How long does window treatment installation take after I order?
Plan on 2 to 10 weeks from order to installation, depending on the product. Most shades and blinds land toward the short end. Custom drapery and motorized systems take longer because each piece is made to your measurements.
Can you install window coverings I bought somewhere else?
Yes. We install any window coverings, including products you already own. Call the showroom to describe what you have and we will tell you what the job involves.
Do you repair blinds and shutters, or only sell new ones?
We repair most window covering products, from worn lift cords to broken tilt mechanisms. If a repair is not worth the money, we will say so.
Do motorized shades need new wiring in an older Cherry Hills Village home?
Not always. Battery-powered motors run most shades without opening walls, which suits Village homes built long before anyone planned for motorization. Hardwired systems make more sense during a remodel when the walls are already open.
Where is your showroom and when is it open?
2438 East 6th Avenue in Cherry Creek, a short drive north up University Boulevard. Hours are Monday through Friday 9 to 5 and Saturday 10 to 3. Closed Sunday.
Is Cherry Creek Shade & Drapery still family owned?
Yes. Betty and Dick Hess founded it in 1968 making and installing roller shades. Their daughter Bonnie and her husband Doug Kershner bought the business and expanded it into drapery, bedding and upholstery.
