No subcontractors, no second crew. Daniel measures your windows, writes a firm install date into your quote, and shows up to install the job himself.
One person, five steps, no hand-offs. Here is the whole thing.
Daniel comes to you on a weekday with sample books, fabric swatches and a laser measure. Every window is measured at top, middle and bottom and checked for mount depth and squareness.
Per-window pricing with installation included, and an installation date in writing. Not a range, not “we will call you.”
Your order goes to the factory or our workroom with his measurements. Nothing is pulled off a shelf and cut down.
Old treatments come down, brackets go into the right substrate with a laser level, treatments are hung, tensioned and programmed, valances and returns fitted last.
He shows you how everything works, cleans up and hauls away packaging. If anything needs adjusting afterwards, you call the person who installed it.
A treatment should look like part of the window, not something added later. That starts with measuring properly and ends with mounting properly.
Custom products are made to order, and shutters, specialty shapes and workroom drapery take longer than standard blinds. Instead of guessing, we give you a firm installation date in writing with your quote and schedule the whole job in one visit.
Big-box and online blinds can look fine on the shelf. The difference shows up at the window, and again a year later.
| Step | DIY / big-box install | Mount Wilson Blinds |
|---|---|---|
| Measuring | Tape measure, rounded to the nearest inch, one spot per window | Laser plus tape at top, middle and bottom, with inside-mount depth checked |
| Squareness | Assumed square; gaps or rubbing discovered after purchase | Checked on every opening; out-of-square frames specified to fit |
| Anchoring | Drywall screws into whatever is behind the trim | Correct anchors for plaster, stucco, tile and original wood casings |
| Cordless & motor setup | Factory defaults, limits never set | Lifts tensioned, motor limits set, app scenes and schedules programmed |
| If it does not fit | Return shipping, a re-order and a second weekend | Handled by the person who measured it, at no cost to you |
| Who you call later | A chat window | Daniel, directly |

Most single windows take well under an hour; shutters and motorized treatments take longer. A whole-home install is usually a single day, and you get the exact date in writing with your quote.
Daniel, the owner, who also measured them. There is no separate crew and nothing is subcontracted, so the person on the ladder already knows every window and every decision you made.
Every product is made to order, so timing depends on what you choose. Rather than quoting a rough range, we put a firm installation date in writing with your quote and hold to it.
Someone over 18 should be present for the walkthrough at the start and the demonstration at the end. You do not need to hover in between.
Clear the window sills and a few feet in front of each window, and take down anything fragile nearby. We handle old-blind removal, drop cloths, packaging and clean-up.
