Local knowledge
Blinds, Shades & Shutters in West Chicago
The commercial side of West Chicago has a specific problem: large spans of glass, long operating hours, and employees who cannot move away from the glare. Hunter Douglas Architectural screen shades are built for exactly that — commercial-grade fabrics, flame-rated for commercial application, in manual or automated systems that can be sized well beyond anything you would hang in a house.
On the residential side, West Chicago's older neighbourhoods near the downtown and the Reed-Keppler area have the solid, modest housing stock of a town that built for railroad families. Those homes do not need anything fussy. A well-made faux wood blind or a simple roller shade, measured properly and installed square, is usually the right answer.

West Chicago questions
Asked and answered
Do you quote commercial jobs in West Chicago?
Yes. We handle offices, warehouses, medical suites and retail. Commercial work is measured and quoted differently from residential, so give us a call and we will set up a walk-through rather than a living-room consultation.
Can you match shades across a building with mismatched window sizes?
That is most of the job in older commercial buildings. Every opening gets measured individually and built to size, so the finished wall reads as one consistent line even when the openings underneath are not.
Whether it is a shop floor or a front room, we are the blinds and shades sales and installation company West Chicago calls when it needs the glare gone.
