Window Treatment FAQ
Frequently asked questions.
Find answers to common questions below. If you don’t see what you need, the fastest answer is a phone call.
Do you offer a free consultation?
Yes. RomRollShade offers a free initial consultation for custom window treatments. You can call us, request a consultation, or send photos of your windows so we can understand your needs and next steps.
Do you measure windows before ordering?
Yes. For qualified projects, we measure on site so your shades, drapery, blinds, and hardware are specified correctly before anything is ordered or prepared.
Can I send photos before scheduling?
Yes. Photos are a good first step. Send window photos, rough measurements, and notes about privacy, glare, room darkening, or motorization, and we can guide you from there.
Do I need to know exactly what I want before calling?
No. Many clients are choosing between roller shades, custom drapery, blinds, Roman shades, or motorized window treatments. We help compare the right options for the room.
Can you give pricing from rough measurements?
We can give general guidance from photos and rough measurements, but a final quote usually requires confirmed measurements, product choices, fabric, hardware, and installation details.
What window treatments do you offer?
RomRollShade offers custom drapery and curtains, roller shades, blackout roller shades, light-filtering shades, Roman shades, blinds, motorized window treatments, motorized curtain tracks, and drapery hardware.
What is the best window treatment for privacy?
It depends on the room. Blinds give adjustable privacy, roller shades offer a clean modern look, and custom drapery adds privacy with a softer fabric finish.
What is the difference between blackout and light-filtering shades?
Blackout shades are made for stronger room darkening, especially in bedrooms and media rooms. Light-filtering shades soften daylight, reduce glare, and keep the room brighter.
Are roller shades good for modern homes?
Yes. Roller shades are clean, practical, and modern. They work well for living rooms, bedrooms, offices, large windows, and spaces where you want simple light control.
Do you provide drapery hardware?
Yes. We supply rods, tracks, finials, brackets, rings, carriers, H-rails, motorized curtain tracks, and related hardware for residential, commercial, and trade projects.
Do you install the window treatments you sell?
Yes. RomRollShade supplies and installs custom window treatments, including shades, drapery, blinds, curtain tracks, and drapery hardware.
Why does professional installation matter?
Accurate installation helps the treatment fit correctly, operate smoothly, and last longer. This is especially important for large shades, custom drapery, motorized tracks, and heavy hardware.
Can you install curtain rods and tracks?
Yes. We install decorative rods, concealed tracks, traverse rods, motorized curtain tracks, brackets, rings, and related drapery hardware.
Do you install products purchased elsewhere?
RomRollShade primarily installs products purchased through our team so we can confirm measurement, compatibility, hardware support, and installation quality.
What happens after installation?
We check the fit, adjust the operation, and review basic use with you. For supported motorized systems, we also help with setup and operation.
Can roller shades be motorized?
Yes. Many roller shades can be motorized. Motorized roller shades are useful for large windows, high windows, bedrooms, daily-use spaces, and smart-home projects.
Can custom drapery be motorized?
Yes. Custom drapery can often be installed on motorized curtain tracks, especially for wide openings, sliding doors, and large window walls.
Do motorized window treatments work with smart homes?
Some motorized shades and curtain tracks can connect with smart-home systems, depending on the motor, controls, and setup. We confirm supported options during the project.
Are motorized window treatments worth it?
Motorization is worth considering when you want convenience, cleaner operation, fewer visible cords, child-safe operation, or easier control of large or hard-to-reach windows.
Do you help program motorized shades or tracks?
Yes. For supported systems, RomRollShade helps with setup, adjustment, and basic programming so your motorized shades or tracks work properly.
