Living in a city like Austin is always exciting. From the amazing music to the friendly folks, Austin is a great place to live. As we all know Austin is a growing city filled with tech and young families. All this growth brings new homes and with new homes comes commerce. If you're in the Austin area and you're in need of new window treatments, here are several ways to insure you get the best products at the best price.
First determine what type of product you would like. This is done through a series of simple questions and answers. Check the web for photos. TIP: When you do a Google search look for the word Images to your left and click on it, there will be hundreds of photos of what you Goggled.
Q) Is the product strictly for design?
Q) Are you concerned with light control?
Q) Are you concerned with privacy?
Q) Are you concerned with energy conversation?
Q) Are you concerned with Green products?
Then determine if you're looking for a soft treatments or hard window treatment;
Examples of Hard Window Treatments:
1) Shutters
2) Blinds Aluminum-Wood
3) Woven Wood Shades
4) Roller Shades
5) Verticals
Examples of Soft Window Treatments:
1) Honeycombs
2) Shadings

5) Shears
Next determine the brand you would like. This is where you'll be able to save huge dollars. The dirty little secret is most all manufactures buy their componentry from the same manufactures. A roller shade from Remedy Blinds is basically the same as a roller shades from Hunter Douglas at ? the price.
Honey Comb shades from J.C. Window are basically the same as a Cell shade from M&B for 20% less.
A 1" mini blind from J.C. Window is ? of what you would pay for basically the same blind from Levolor.
Next we need to select a professional to measure and install for us.
1) Hire a designer-Very expensive.
2) Hire Costco-Very expensive.
3) Hire Home Depot or Lowe's-Moderately expensive and very inconvenient.
4) Hire a discount shop at home service-Great pricing, fast and easy.
