Why Starter was created
New-Home Window Treatments Should Not Feel Complicated
Moving into a new home already comes with a long list of decisions. Selecting treatments for every window should be easier to understand, plan and complete.
Starter Blinds and Shades was created to provide practical choices without an overwhelming catalog. We focus on three dependable product categories—2-inch faux wood blinds, classic vertical blinds and cordless honeycomb shades—selected for common new-home windows and patio doors.
You can review our Price Guide or create a preliminary estimate before scheduling. At your appointment, we professionally measure each opening, show product hand samples and help finalize the selections for your home.
