Need window treatments for the whole house

Tweet

We need new window treatments for the whole house. I want light filtering with the option to control privacy (how much exposure there is to the room) so blinds/shades are the way to go. We have a balcony sliding door, stairs window, kitchen window, two living room windows, one bedroom window, and one master bedroom window to cover. There is also a window in the master bedroom above the main one that’s in the shape of a hand fan. I originally didn’t want to cover it but maybe we should as that room is on the third floor and it gets very hot there in the summer. Leaving the window uncovered may make the room even hotter. I went to Blinds to Go and after talking with a person there I settled on zebra shades for the hall window and bedroom windows, and vertical blinds for the other windows and the balcony sliding door. The estimated total, which will change once accurate measurements are done and everything is finalized, including whether or not to do the hand-fan-shaped-window, came to around $2100. And that’s with tax, measuring and installation, and their buy one get second one 50% off. I am not sure if this is a good price or if it’s expensive. It may be a good idea to go to a few other places to see what they offer and how much it can potentially cost. The downside is that the Blinds to Go sale ends September 8th. Doesn’t give me much time to shop around, especially since I don’t know where else to go.
