For home remodels & new builds
Remodeling an existing home or building a new home? Your new home should be all that you want it to be. Planning for every detail makes all the difference in having it the way you want when the project is completed. For the windows to be covered with a beautiful product that helps with light control and energy efficiency, the consumer project should start planning in the early stages.
Research and planning stage
It’s an exciting time to remodel or build a new home. With all the moving parts and different individuals involved in the process, it’s crucial to plan and research all aspects from the get-go. However, window treatments are often overlooked until the last minute, leading homeowners to settle for less-than-ideal choices.
So, when is the right time to discuss window treatments? The sooner, the better! In fact, it’s best to involve a window treatment provider during the initial planning stages of your new home or renovation project.
At Incredible Windows, our team can help you think about many things you and your family may have not considered, including:
Window size and height
Window types (double hung, sliding, crank, etc)
Window placement
Casement details, including depth
Budget and preliminary costs
If a window treatment provider is not included during the planning stage, make sure to consult our team at Incredible Windows before drywall installation. This is crucial because the wiring for hard-wired motorization must be completed during the home’s framing stage. Excluding a window treatment expert often leads to mistakes, as the vast array of product styles, fabrics, colors, and operating mechanisms can be overwhelming. Ultimately, rectifying these errors can result in additional expenses for homeowners.
Smart home and motorization
In today’s world, many homeowners are embracing smart home features while building a new home or undertaking a renovation. For those seeking convenience, energy efficiency, and security, motorized window treatments are an excellent option. Involving a window treatment provider from the outset ensures proper wiring for hardwired shades, eliminating the need for batteries. Moreover, powered shades can easily integrate with most home automation systems.
One of the standout advantages of installing Hunter Douglas smart shades is their compatibility with numerous home automation systems, such as Alexa, Apple HomeKit, Google Home, Control 4, Elan, Lutron, and more. This seamless integration makes motorized window treatments an intelligent choice for modern homeowners.
Ordering and installation
Window treatments should only be ordered once the window casement is fully installed, allowing a certified and qualified window treatment provider to take accurate measurements. Generally, window coverings can be installed within four to six weeks after placing the order. To guarantee a proper fit and installation, it is essential to have a professional window treatment installer handle the job. Additionally, the installer can address any questions and demonstrate how to operate the window treatments effectively.
Budget
For homeowners who have never ordered custom window treatments or haven’t done so in a while, the cost of custom options might come as a surprise. However, choosing custom window treatments over those from online or big box stores results in a far superior product and experience. Window treatments are an investment in your home, adding value, enhancing ambiance and style, offering convenience, improving energy efficiency, and providing UV protection—and the price isn’t that far off from those in mid-tier retail stores or online retailers, either.
A window treatment provider can also help navigate challenges with unusual windows and address any installation concerns. High-quality products usually come with a reliable warranty that covers any necessary repairs, an assurance that cannot be matched by big box or online purchases.
Selecting the best window treatments for you
Many homeowners may not be aware of the numerous options and factors to consider when selecting window treatments. By working with a professional, each individual’s process will be tailored to their unique needs, taking into account their budget, personal taste, lifestyle, and life stage.
A wide variety of styles, fabrics, and options will be presented for consideration, with several questions asked during the process to determine the most suitable choices. Some examples of these questions include:
How will the room be used?
Can outsiders see into your home from the street or sidewalk?
Who will be using each room?
Is there a need for light dimming or room darkening?
Can the window be easily accessed for manual raising and lowering of blinds?
What level of investment is required to acquire the desired options?
A skilled professional like our team at Incredible Windows will assist in sorting through these various factors to help make the best selections. Some homeowners may opt to purchase window treatments in stages, prioritizing areas such as bedrooms and bathrooms first, and completing the remaining windows at a later date—and that’s just fine with us. We’ll be here to help you for years to come.
