The full window-treatment catalog Rome families actually use.
Rome sits at the confluence of the Etowah and the Oostanaula and the building stock fans out from there. Between the Rivers is the historic 1910s to 1940s brick four-square and bungalow corridor, with tall narrow original sash, wide stained casing, and openings that have moved with the river bluffs over a century. Mt Alto and the Berry College area carry larger lots, 1980s to 2000s brick estates, palladium gables, and 12-foot great rooms. The Riverside subdivisions and the rural pockets out to Cave Spring, Lindale, and Cedartown are a mix of newer construction and 1960s ranch. We have measured into every one of those Rome markets since 1996, on a regular Rome route from our Douglasville home shop.
What is consistent is the Northwest Georgia climate. Summer humidity sits in the low to mid 70s, the pollen season is brutal late March through May, and west-facing rooms across Mt Alto and along the Berry road bake from 3pm. Basswood plantation shutters work for the dry interior rooms, poly shutters handle the kitchens and baths, faux wood blinds from Norman and Graber handle the everyday bedrooms, and motorized roller shades handle the Mt Alto two-story great rooms.
Rome is an hour drive from our Douglasville shop and we run the Rome route weekly. Book the free in-home measure and we will slot you on the next available Rome day.

Built for the way Floyd County homes are built.
Built for the historic brick-and-sash of Between the Rivers
The 1910s to 1940s brick four-squares between the Etowah and Oostanaula carry tall narrow original sash and wide stained casing. Hand-templated basswood plantation shutters in a 3.5-inch louver and stained hardwood blinds both fit beautifully. We custom-stain to match the original woodwork.
Material choices that survive Floyd County humidity
Summer dewpoints sit in the low to mid 70s. Our basswood is kiln-dried to 6 to 8 percent moisture content and sealed on six faces, so the panel does not bow over a decade. Poly handles kitchens, baths, and west-facing rooms without yellowing.
Why Mt Alto estates pick motorized shades
The Mt Alto and Berry College corridor estates carry 12-foot great-room windows and stair-side transoms. Motorized roller shades from Somfy and Lutron handle the upper openings. We pair them with battery or hardwired power and wall switch, RF remote, or smart-home app control.
What the Etowah Avenue historic corridor specs
The Etowah Avenue historic corridor and the older bungalows around Broad Street want a stained hardwood blind or a custom-stained basswood plantation shutter that ties into original wide trim. We bring over 40 stains and paints to the consult.
Cave Spring, Lindale, and Cedartown rural pockets
The Floyd County rural pockets out to Cave Spring, Lindale, and Cedartown often need full-house refreshes after a long-tenure homeowner sale. We run the Rome route once a week so we can include rural pockets without an extra trip charge.
Local warranty service on our weekly route
Lifetime warranty on basswood does not mean much if the company is in another state. Our Rome warranty service is a phone call to 770-949-9020 and a slot on the next weekly Rome route. The truck rolls from Douglasville, not from a regional support center.

I built a custom 10,000 square foot home and could write a book about the headaches. The blinds, shades and shutters for all 198 windows and doors were the easiest part of the entire build.Eddie H., Dallas, GA
