Measured and fitted out of our own shop
Basswood, faux wood, mini and vertical blinds, cut to your openings and hung by the same people who measured them. Our shop has been in Douglas County since 1996, which is why a service call here is a short drive rather than a dispatch ticket.
Your local Douglasville installer
Most blinds that disappoint somebody failed at the tape measure. An eighth of an inch too wide and the headrail will not drop into the opening. An eighth too narrow and you live with a light gap down both sides for the next fifteen years. That is the whole reason we do not hand you a box and wish you luck. We come out, measure every opening, check each one for square, note the depth of your casing and whether the window cranks outward, and quote from those numbers.
The 1980s and 1990s brick ranches off Highway 5 have shallow aluminum-framed openings with nowhere to hide a deep headrail, so they usually take a 2 inch faux wood on an outside mount. The 2000s subdivision builds in Chapel Hill and Hunter's Ridge have deep drywall returns that take an inside mount cleanly and carry a 2.5 inch slat well. The Tributary cottages were drawn to a New Urbanist plan with tall narrow sash, where a 1 inch slat keeps the proportion the architect intended. And the custom builds out along Bright Star and Anneewakee Trails arrive with transoms and sidelights that have to be templated rather than measured.
Being based in town means there is no mileage built into your number and no waiting for an installer to be routed west out of the metro. If a slat cracks or a lift sticks two years from now, you call 770-949-9020 and we come back.

The Douglasville defaults
Kiln-dried basswood in 1, 2 and 2.5 inch slats, with more than 40 stains and unlimited paint matching. The usual answer for formal rooms and primary bedrooms. Lifetime mechanism warranty.
For Douglas County bathrooms, kitchens, children's rooms and rental units. It will not warp through a Georgia summer, it wipes clean, and it costs less per window. 25-year frame warranty.
Half-inch and 1 inch aluminum for narrow sash, laundry rooms and garage windows, plus fabric verticals for the patio sliders on the Highway 92 builds.
What the measure decides
A deep return lets the blind sit inside the opening so your trim still frames the window. A shallow aluminum-framed opening does not, and forcing it there is how you end up with a headrail that fouls the crank. We take the depth with a rule and decide on the spot.
Summer dewpoints here sit in the low 70s and pollen season runs hard from mid-March. Real wood is the better looking material and we are happy to sell it, but a bathroom, a laundry room or a kitchen window over a sink is work for engineered faux wood, which does not move with the moisture.
The subdivision builds here lean on a 2.5 inch faux wood in a builder white through the secondary bedrooms and a stained 2.5 inch basswood in the living and dining rooms. We carry the whites and creams that line up with builder-grade trim, so the headrail does not read as a different color to the casing beside it.
Cordless is standard on most of what we hang now. Nothing dangles, nothing loops, and the blind holds at whatever height you leave it. Where a wide opening genuinely needs a continuous loop, the loop gets a tension device anchored to the wall rather than left hanging.
Landlords in and around Douglasville tend to want one slat, one color and one mechanism across every unit, so a damaged blind is a part swap rather than a reorder. We price that as a package: from $12 per square foot installed on ten units or more, with the SKUs recorded for you.
A blind is a mechanism and mechanisms need attention eventually. Ours are warranted for the life of the mechanism on hardwood lines, and the number you call is the shop here in Douglasville. No regional support center, no ticket queue, and no mileage charge for coming to this side of the county.
What blinds cost in Douglasville
Blind pricing in Douglasville is the same pricing we quote anywhere in Georgia. Being local does not raise it and we do not add a line for the drive.
Faux wood lands $14 to $20 per square foot installed. Real basswood hardwood lands $22 to $32. A motor adds $235 to $260 or more per blind, plus $50 to $200 for the controller. A three-bedroom subdivision house with 14 windows averages $2,500 to $5,800 in faux and $4,200 to $9,000 in real hardwood. For a portfolio of rentals, a uniform package across ten units or more starts at $12 per square foot installed so replacement slats and mechanisms stay interchangeable.

Questions Douglasville homeowners ask
Faux wood runs 2 to 3 weeks from measure to install and real hardwood runs 3 to 5 weeks, because every blind is cut to your openings after you approve the quote. Adding motors adds 1 to 2 weeks. The install itself is usually a few hours for a whole house.
Faux wood lands $14 to $20 per square foot installed and real basswood hardwood lands $22 to $32. A three-bedroom subdivision house with 14 windows averages $2,500 to $5,800 in faux wood and $4,200 to $9,000 in real hardwood. The final number comes from the in-home measure.
We decide that at your window rather than on the phone. The deep drywall returns in the Chapel Hill and Hunter's Ridge builds take an inside mount cleanly. The shallow aluminum-framed openings in the older brick ranches off Highway 5 usually need an outside mount so the headrail has somewhere to live.
Cordless lift is standard on most of what we sell, and there is no loop or hanging cord for a child to reach. Where a job genuinely needs a continuous loop we fit the tension device that holds the loop tight against the wall.
