Once your window treatments arrive, we will call to confirm the installation date we established when you placed your order. Our window treatment installers will remove and dispose of old window treatments appropriately. They also drill any new holes, fill any old holes, and hang or insert the window treatment, checking to ensure it looks correct and is operating correctly. Professional window treatment installers inspect for anything that's out of order or unsafe and clean up afterward so you don't have anything to do. If you've ordered a motorized window covering, we'll ensure it's working correctly and show you how to use it.

Window Covering Measuring and Installations
Window measurements account for the settling your home has experienced over the decades. The process assumes, correctly, that no two windows in your home are the same, even if they started out that way. At The Shade Shop, we carry custom Hunter Douglas window treatments and will fit them to your window so not a speck of light shines through when they're closed.
Located near Grand Rapids, Michigan, The Shade Shop is a locally-owned, family-owned, and operated business that has served the area since 1935. Three generations of family have poured love and attention into providing your home with comfort and style so you can get light control, privacy, and protection from UV rays. Custom window treatments include the materials and fabrics you choose, which are cut to fit your windows perfectly and hung to enhance function. We provide window measuring and window treatment installation near Grand Rapids, MI.
Our Process: Window Treatment Measurements
As our homes settle, things shift, and custom window coverings are fitted to your window with careful measurements and installations. When you order custom Hunter Douglas window treatments from The Shade Shop, we will go into your home and measure every window that's receiving a window treatment.
We measure windows individually because as your home settles, the weight impacts windows and doors, skewing them differently. They can also shift with moisture changes. Over the years, these small things can cause your windows and doors to alter subtly, so things are no longer at the perfect right angles they began at. You might notice this already, or at certain times of the year if your windows or doors are hard to open or close.
We measure your windows to the nearest 1/8 of an inch. We also measure twice to verify that our measurements are correct. Since we have done this hundreds of times, we know what to look for and where to measure so you get the best fit imaginable.
