Window Treatment Services in Englewood, CO
Blinds, shades, drapery, and motorized coverings for Englewood, CO.
Call Us Now (303) 355-4223Window treatment services in Englewood usually start with one question: how do you get privacy in a house that sits close to the street without living in the dark? Cherry Creek Shade & Drapery has been answering it for south Denver homeowners since 1968, when Betty and Dick Hess started out making and installing roller shades.
Their daughter Bonnie and her husband Doug Kershner own the business now and run it from the showroom at 2438 East 6th Avenue in Cherry Creek. Englewood is a short drive south. Close enough that a designer can bring sample books to your house for a free in-home design consultation and measure every window while they are there.
One family handles the design, the order, the install and the repair calls years later.
Custom Window Treatments for Englewood Brick Ranches and Bungalows
Walk any side street off South Broadway and you see the same houses. Post-war brick ranches with a picture window facing the sidewalk. Older bungalows closer to downtown. A few pop-tops where somebody added a second floor. Seven decades of settling means very few of those windows are still square, which is exactly why custom window treatments outlast anything cut to a stock size.
Window blinds installation in a crooked frame takes shims, so the bottom rail runs level with the sill instead of following the casing. Window shutters installation is even less forgiving, since the frame gets built to the opening itself. Look through the blinds, shades and shutters we carry before the visit if you want a head start, and our installers take it from there.
Blackout Window Shades for Day Sleepers Near the Hampden Hospital District
Swedish Medical Center and Craig Hospital sit a few blocks apart just off Hampden, and plenty of the people who work there live in Englewood. A nurse coming off a night shift needs a bedroom that stays dark at 2 p.m. in July. That is a different problem than dimming a living room.
Window shades installation for day sleepers is all about the edges. A blackout shade mounted inside the frame still leaks a bright line down each side. Mounting it outside the casing helps. Adding a lined drapery panel that overlaps the window closes what is left. At 5,300 feet the afternoon sun is strong enough to find any gap, so we check the fit with the shade down before we leave.
Curtain and Drapery Installation for Englewood Living Rooms Facing the Street
Lots of Englewood houses sit close to the sidewalk, with the living room window looking straight at it. Sheers during the day and lined panels at night handle that without hanging anything on the glass. Good curtain and drapery installation is mostly the part you never notice: brackets set into framing instead of drywall anchors, and a rod that does not sag after a winter of being pulled open and shut.
Choose drapery panels, rods and tracks with a designer in your own living room, or come feel the drapery fabrics at the showroom. Plan on 2 to 10 weeks from order to install depending on the product. Custom drapery sits at the long end because it is sewn for your windows.
Motorized Window Treatments for Townhomes Around CityCenter Englewood
The apartments and townhomes around CityCenter Englewood went up where Cinderella City mall stood until it came down in the late 1990s. Many of those units have tall living room glass and the light rail running right behind them. Motorized window treatments fit that setup well. One button drops every shade facing the platform, and there are no cords for a toddler or a cat to get tangled in.
We add motorized shade systems to new or existing shades, run from a remote, a wall switch or a set schedule. Nothing to reach over the couch for.
Blind Repair and Installation for Englewood Homes With Coverings Already Up
Window treatment services in Englewood do not always mean buying something new. A frayed lift cord, a shade that will not stay up, a shutter with a snapped tilt rod. We repair most window covering products, and blind and shutter repair is often the cheaper fix when the rest of the set is in good shape.
We also handle window treatment installation for coverings you bought somewhere else. Call (303) 355-4223, tell us what you have, and we will tell you what the job involves.
Family Owned Since 1968: Why Englewood Homeowners Call Us Back
Cherry Creek Shade & Drapery has had the same family behind it for more than 55 years. Betty and Dick Hess made roller shades. Bonnie and Doug Kershner added drapery, bedding and upholstery. People still ask whether we are family owned. We are.
A search for window treatment near me from Englewood turns up national chains with a storefront and a regional service line. A window treatment company with its name on the same door for decades is one where the person who planned your shades can still be reached when one needs adjusting. Our window treatment services in Englewood are planned room by room, so the bedroom blackout and the front-room sheers look like they belong in the same house.
Before anyone drills into your trim, ask them for a certificate of insurance. Ask us too.
Serving Englewood, Sheridan, Littleton and Cherry Hills Village
Our window treatment services in Englewood are one stop on a short south-side loop. Sheridan sits just west across Santa Fe Drive. Littleton is straight down Broadway, and homeowners there get the same designers through our Littleton window treatments page. Denver's Rosedale and Wellshire neighborhoods are a few minutes north and east.
Cherry Hills Village borders Englewood to the east, with Greenwood Village just past it along Belleview, and our Cherry Hills Village window work follows the same process. Searching window treatment services near me from anywhere along Hampden or Broadway? The showroom is a short drive north, and a designer will come to you.
Frequently Asked Questions
What do window treatment services in Englewood cost?
It depends on the product, how many windows you have, how big they are 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 nothing gets ordered until you decide.
Will a designer come to my Englewood home?
Yes. A designer brings samples to your house, measures, and talks through light, privacy and budget in the rooms themselves. The consultation is free. If you would rather look in person first, the showroom at 2438 East 6th Avenue is open Monday through Friday 9 to 5 and Saturday 10 to 3.
How long does window treatment installation take after I order?
Plan on 2 to 10 weeks from order to install, depending on the product. Shades and blinds usually arrive sooner. Custom drapery and motorized systems take longer because each piece is made to your measurements.
What is the best way to black out a bedroom for someone who works nights?
A blackout shade alone tends to leak light at the edges. Mounting it outside the frame helps, and a lined drapery panel that overlaps the window closes the remaining gaps. A designer can show you both in the actual room during the free consultation.
Can you install blinds or shades I ordered online?
Yes. We install any window coverings, including products you bought elsewhere. Call the showroom, describe what you have, and we will explain what the install involves.
Is it worth repairing old blinds and shutters?
Often, yes. We repair most window covering products, from worn cords to broken tilt mechanisms. If a repair would cost more than it is worth, we will tell you that up front.
Do motorized shades need new wiring in an older Englewood house?
Not always. Battery-powered motors run most shades without opening a wall, which suits Englewood ranches and bungalows built long before anyone planned for motorization. Hardwired systems make more sense during a remodel when the walls are already open.
Who owns Cherry Creek Shade & Drapery?
The same family since 1968. Betty and Dick Hess founded it making and installing roller shades, and their daughter Bonnie and her husband Doug Kershner bought the business and grew it into drapery, bedding and upholstery.
