New Home BUDGET BLINDS - DIY or Go Professional?

Автокөліктер мен көлік құралдары

I could have bought a small car for the number of windows I had to cover. This was the single most expensive item for our new house and I had no idea and didn't include it in the budget. With so many options out there these days and a lot of online stores, the question is why choose a professional when you can just do it yourself? I've ordered online and installed cellular blinds myself on our old house but for our new house, I explored different window coverings as well as some automation so after checking with many companies, I decided on one and went pro, was it worth it?

    Great review I'm glad you used a professional. I'm also glad that the end of three months you discovered it would be better to have motorization everywhere even though it's more expensive motorization brings more valued to the house with convenient energy efficiency and comfort.

    Oh yeah, blinds are no joke, they can get expensive quickly. 32 windows, that’s exactly what I think I have too. I have a friend that has the windows where the blinds are built-in in between the glass, that’s the best thing ever, if I build again that’s what I want.

    Unfortunately the ones we have everything is integrated including motor, battery, WI-FI module so it can’t be retrofitted for non motorized blinds. At the time it was $500 more per blind so not inexpensive at all. In hindsight I would have added maybe 3 more for blinds we regularly use. So nice to have them automated and worked into voice sequences.

    Battery powered. They have a USB input. You just plug in a long cable and it only needs to be charged once a year. Haven’t charged them yet

    They’re north facing windows and a big tree that pretty well covers the view form the neighbors. No sun to block plus ran out of $$$. Would I like them covered as well, absolutely, maybe one day.

    Even cheaper DIY plantation shutters for our 5 living room windows would cost $1,000. Probably more today as that was the pricing from 2019.
