• Hanging Blinds, Curtains & Drapes

 Information on Window Treatments

Installation costs vary depending on where you live and who you hire. According to data from Home Guide, a handyman may charge $50 to $80 per hour.

Professional window dressers may charge a per-window fee for installation. Porch.com says that might start at about $30 (CAD 40) or more per window — and it might cost much more if you didn't buy the window coverings from the same company that's doing the installation.

The type of window covering you choose — from basic fabric blinds to designer drapes — impacts the overall cost. Here are some other factors that can affect how much you pay for window treatments:

The larger the area to cover, the more material you need. And that means more expensive window coverings. Some people choose curtains that are designed only to cover part of a window to help cut down on costs while also creating a decorative look. It’s also cheaper to cover standard-size windows because some treatments come precut. If you have custom windows, you may need custom coverings.

Custom and luxury materials and fabrics will cost more. Thicker curtain fabric or curtains with more layers also cost more. That's why sheers — curtains made of very thin material you can see through — are often the least expensive option.

A curtain rod can cost a couple of dollars on the low end, and installation hardware for blinds is often free and comes in the box. But if you want something more, you may end up paying a lot for it. Decorative finials, specialty coverings to create seamless visuals with blinds or tie-back hooks can all increase the cost of installation.

Most window coverings are fairly easy to care for. However, if you purchase custom window treatments, you may want to pay someone to clean or maintain them occasionally or invest in specialty equipment, such as a steam-cleaning system, to do it yourself properly. This can help lengthen the life of the window treatments to protect your investment.

Window coverings can be a pricey addition to your home decor. Even if you opt for affordable window coverings, the cost adds up based on how many windows you have. Here are some of the reasons people consider window covers to be a wise investment:

Depending on where you live, people might be able to peek into your home through your windows. Drawing the curtains or pulling down the shades is an easy way to keep your business to yourself.

Curtains and other window coverings are a great way to add color and visual appeal to your rooms.

Window coverings block sunlight during warm months to help keep the interior of your home cool. During the cooler months, they can keep cold air out and help block drafts. Thermal or energy-efficient curtains and blinds help with this even more and might even contribute to reducing your utility bills. That potential savings could help make up for some of the investment.

Quality curtains, blinds or other window treatments can last for years, especially when they're installed correctly and maintained well. That's another reason to invest in window treatments that you really like; you may also want to consider neutral curtains or blinds that will work with future changes you make to the room's decor.

Make sure to follow the manufacturer's instructions when using blinds or shades to keep from breaking them. Use dusting or cleaning tools to keep them clean. Curtains are often a bit easier to maintain, as you can take them down for washing, steaming or dry cleaning as needed. Deep clean window coverings at least twice a year to cut down on dust and other issues that can collect in these areas.
