Spokane, WA
Most window treatment companies will sell you something and move on. We've been doing it differently for more than 25 years. The Blind Guy is a shop-at-home service. We bring the samples to you, measure every window, and handle the installation ourselves. No showroom trip, no upselling, no surprises. Every consultation is free, and so is the installation.
Spokane isn't like the rest of Washington. The summers here get genuinely hot and dry, and the afternoon sun on a west-facing room is no joke by July. Then the winters roll in cold and stay that way for months. The housing stock here runs the full range. South Hill's craftsman bungalows and older brick homes need something different than the newer builds going up in Liberty Lake or out past Spokane Valley.
We've worked on all of it, and now we're here to help you.
Custom Shades near Spokane, WA
West- and south-facing windows in Spokane get hit hard in summer, and shades are one of the most popular ways to manage that natural light. Solar shades from Insolroll® are built for exactly that kind of sustained UV exposure. They knock out the glare and the heat without blocking your view of the outdoors. Come winter, cellular shades do the heavy lifting. The honeycomb structure traps air at the glass, and Hunter Douglas Duette® Cellular Shades in particular make a real difference in rooms that feel cold all season. For something softer, sheer shades from Hunter Douglas®, Graber®, or Horizons™ take the edge off afternoon glare while keeping the room feeling open and bright.
Custom Blinds near Spokane, WA
The older homes throughout South Hill and Shadle Park often have wood trimwork and window proportions that call for something with more character than a basic roller shade. Real wood and faux wood blinds from Alta and Lafayette Interior Fashions™ fit well in that kind of home. They complement painted and stained woodwork and hold up through Spokane's dry summers and cold winters without warping or fading.
Custom Interior Shutters near Spokane, WA
Interior shutters (also called plantation shutters) are among the most popular choices in Spokane's established neighborhoods. They look right at home in craftsman and ranch-style architecture, offer precise light control, and last for decades with virtually no maintenance. If you're in a newer build in Spokane Valley or Liberty Lake and want the clean, structured look of shutters, they work just as well in contemporary interiors.
Drapery near Spokane, WA
For Spokane homeowners who want warmth, texture, and a finished look that goes beyond functional coverage, drapery is the answer. Custom drapery panels add softness to living rooms, dining rooms, and bedrooms in a way that no shade or blind can replicate. They're also a practical choice for Spokane winters. Heavier-lined panels add an extra layer of insulation at the glass and help keep drafts at bay in older homes.
Outdoor Screens and Awnings near Spokane, WA
Spokane summers are worth making the most of. A Sunesta® retractable awning turns a sun-baked patio or deck into somewhere you actually want to spend time. Retractable awnings extend in seconds, retract when the weather shifts, and come in hundreds of fabric options. For outdoor screens near Spokane, WA, Insolroll's Oasis® patio systems are a solid option: they cut the heat, knock back glare, and keep bugs out, so your outdoor space stays usable well into the evening.
Motorized Window Treatments near Spokane, WA
If you've got a lot of windows or some that are hard to reach, motorized window treatments are worth considering. Control everything from your phone, set schedules, or tie it into a smart home system. We carry motorized options from Hunter Douglas, Alta, and Lafayette Interior Fashions™ and handle all the setup before we leave.
Frequently Asked Questions About Custom Window Treatments
Q. My west-facing windows are brutal in the afternoon during summer. What actually works?
A. Solar shades are the answer for most people in that situation. A good solar shade from Insolroll® will cut the majority of heat and glare coming through the glass while still letting you see outside. If you want full privacy or light blocking on top of that, we can layer in a room-darkening shade or pair it with drapery panels.
Q. Are cellular shades actually worth it for Spokane winters?
A. In our experience, yes—especially in older homes where the windows aren't particularly well-insulated to begin with. A double-cell or triple-cell shade from Hunter Douglas or Graber® creates a real air pocket at the glass. It's not going to replace good weatherstripping, but it does make a noticeable difference in rooms that run cold.
Q. Do you work in older Spokane neighborhoods, or mostly new construction?
A. Older homes are actually some of our favorite installs. South Hill, Shadle Park, Manito. Those neighborhoods have windows with character, and figuring out what works in a 1920s craftsman is a different puzzle than a brand-new build. We've been doing it long enough that not much surprises us.
