How Long Do Installations Take?

The time needed for each installation varies with the quantity and perplexity of the product being installed. . It actually depends on a few different factors. One of the factors that will affect the installation time is the number of window coverings being installed. The installation time will definitely be different installing two window coverings versus twelve. The location of the installation also affects how long the project could take. If ladders are required, or some other kind of window location, a longer setup time may be required. And, the age of the home or workplace can also affect the time. If you have an older home it may be difficult to anchor the window coverings properly. Even new homes can offer some difficulty depending on the structural materials.

Most installations are done in less than 4 hours and rarely do the go into a second day. The Yardstick will send two installers to larger jobs.

Custom Blind Installations

We have the expertise to install custom blinds to match the look and feel of your home or workplace. Rather than getting blinds from a “Big Box Retailer”, why not work with trusted experts like us to provide you with exactly what you are looking for at the right price?

Custom Shutter Installations

Do We Install Products that Have Not Been Purchased from The Yardstick?

The Yardstick only installs products purchased from the business itself, but exceptions can be made in particular situations. We take pride in the fact that we only offer the best window covering products available in the market. If we install low-quality products it may hinder the look and feel of a home or workplace, and it won’t be as durable as the higher-quality products.

Occasionally, a customer may have something they need installed and we will accommodate that if other windows are covered by products purchased from The Yardstick.

What Our Customers are Saying

  We were looking for someone to replace our motorized roller shades. We decided to walk into The Yardstick after seeing their 5 star reviews. Sean took us under his wing, showed us numerous options, and opened our eyes to something totally different and so much better. He came out the next day and measured, brought samples, and today both Sean and Jimmy installed our new blackout beautiful shades. 8 floor to ceiling windows in just three hours. They both were amazing. Give The Yardstick a try, you won’t be disappointed, I assure you.
