The full window-treatment catalog Columbus families actually use.
Columbus is its own thing. The historic neighborhoods of Wynnton, Lakebottom, and Midtown carry 1900s to 1940s Greek Revival and bungalow stock, with tall narrow original sash and wide wood casing. Green Island Hills and the country-club corridor lean on 1980s to 2000s brick estates with palladium windows on the gabled fronts. Historic Columbus along Broadway and the Riverwalk carries the Federal and Italianate stock of the original 1828 city plan. And every weekend a new PCS family lands in Cataula or Fortson with three weeks to furnish a house before the next deployment. We have measured into every one of those Columbus markets since 1996.
What is consistent is the climate. Columbus humidity is closer to Florida than to north Georgia. July and August dewpoints sit in the mid-70s, the riverside Lakebottom homes face morning fog rolling off the Chattahoochee, and west-facing rooms across Wynnton and Green Island Hills bake from 3pm. The right answers vary by room: poly plantation shutters for kitchens and baths, faux wood blinds for bedrooms, cellular shades for energy and light control, and motorized systems from Somfy and Lutron for the stair transoms and 12-foot great rooms.
If you are a PCS family staring down a 30-day move-in clock, call us before you call anyone else. We have done same-week installs for Fort Moore (formerly Fort Benning) families more times than we can count. Book the free in-home measure and tell us your move-in date.

PCS-friendly emergency installs for Fort Moore families
Penny's letter on our home page is a real one. We have done same-week installs for incoming Fort Moore families more times than we can count. Tell us your move-in date and we will work backward from it. We deliver and install before the moving van pulls out of the driveway when the schedule asks for it.
Material choices that survive Columbus humidity
July and August dewpoints sit in the mid-70s, closer to Florida than north Georgia. Poly plantation shutters, Norman and Graber faux wood blinds, and high-quality cellular shades handle the moisture without warping. Real basswood is fine for the dry interior rooms but not for the riverside Lakebottom homes that face morning fog from the Chattahoochee.
Why Wynnton historic homes pick basswood plantation shutters
The 1900s to 1940s Greek Revival and bungalow stock in Wynnton carries tall narrow sash and wide wood casing. The 3.5-inch basswood louver gives the right ratio of slat to opening and reads true to the period. The 2.5-inch reads as 1980s and the 4.5-inch overpowers historic trim.
What Green Island Hills estates spec
The 1980s to 2000s brick estates along the country-club corridor lean on plantation shutters in the formal rooms, motorized roller shades in the great rooms, and palladium-shutter custom shapes on the gabled fronts. We measure the palladiums by hand-tracing the arch, not from builder drawings.
Riverwalk and historic downtown lofts
The Historic Columbus and Riverwalk corridor lofts often need motorization for tall warehouse windows that have been converted to residential. We handle the upper rail at industrial scale, hide the wiring inside the brick channels, and integrate with Lutron RA3 for the smart-home wing.
Local warranty service across the river to Phenix City
We cover Phenix City, AL across the river under the same warranty terms. Our service-truck route runs Columbus on Tuesdays and Phenix City on Thursdays. Warranty visits are a phone call and a same-week or next-week appointment.

It is hard to believe that we ordered 23 faux wood blinds at 9AM and they were delivered by 3PM, just in time to be loaded on the moving van for the trip to our new home in New Orleans. We will never forget what you did for us.Penny, New Orleans, LA

What do window treatments cost in Columbus?
In Columbus, expect roughly $14 to $32 per square foot installed for blinds and shades, $22 to $45 per square foot for plantation shutters, and $30 to $60 per square foot for motorized roller shades. A four-bedroom Lakebottom home with 18 windows averages $4,800 to $11,500 for blinds and shades, $7,500 to $14,500 for whole-house plantation shutters.
Do you work with Fort Moore and PCS families?
Yes. We have done same-week emergency installs for incoming Fort Moore families more times than we can count. Penny's letter to us is a real one. Tell us your move-in date and we will work backward from it.
Do you cover Wynnton, Lakebottom, and Green Island Hills?

What is the warranty?
Real hardwood and basswood lines carry a lifetime mechanism warranty. Faux wood and poly carry a 25-year frame warranty plus a lifetime warranty on the lift mechanism. Motors carry 6 to 7 years depending on brand.
Which products survive Columbus humidity and the long July?
Columbus humidity is closer to Florida than to north Georgia. July dewpoints sit in the mid-70s and shade-side rooms can stay damp. Poly plantation shutters, faux wood blinds, and high-quality cellular shades handle the moisture without warping. Real basswood is fine for dry interior rooms but not for bath, kitchen, or the riverside Lakebottom homes. See our plantation shutters page for material details.
Can you motorize for Green Island Hills second-story windows?
Yes. We pair Somfy or Lutron motors with battery or hardwired power, wall switch, RF remote, or smart-home app integration. See our motorization page for the integration options.
