Window Treatments in Rutland, VT

Where The Business Started

The business started in Rutland County and we still do a lot of work here, in the city and out through the towns around it. Rutland has older housing than most of our area, a lot of it with the original trim, and a working downtown with offices and storefronts that need a run of shades ordered properly rather than bought in a box.

Older Houses With The Original Trim

Rutland's housing skews older, and the windows in an older house are rarely square and often have casing profiles no one makes any more. Shutters do well there, because the frame is built to the opening as it is. So does a blind ordered to the measurement instead of cut down to fit, because the gaps at the edge are where the January draft comes through.

The kitchens and bathrooms in those houses want a faux wood blind. Real wood over a sink or a tub warps within a few winters. A faux wood costs about the same and does not.

Downtown Offices And Storefronts

Commercial work in Rutland is offices, conference rooms and retail frontage. Glare on screens is the problem in an office, and a storefront has to match across every window in one fabric batch. We order it as one product and install it as one job, with the same person from the site visit to the last bracket.

From Rutland Out To The County

From the city we cover Castleton and Lake Bomoseen to the west, Killington to the east, and Brandon up Route 7 toward Middlebury. It is the run we have been doing longest.

• Shutters built to out-of-square openings in older houses

Questions From Rutland

  The business started in Rutland County, and Rutland has stayed a regular part of the week since. It is under an hour from where we are based in Middlebury.

• What works best in an older Rutland house?

  Shutters where the openings are out of square, because the frame is built to the opening rather than fighting it. Blinds ordered to the measurement rather than cut down, so there are no gaps at the edges. Faux wood in the kitchen and bathroom.
