Window Treatments in Brooklyn

Measured, made and fitted across every neighborhood.

Why Brooklyn is different

Your neighbor’s window is ten feet away

Across a breezeway, over a shared yard, or straight across the street. Privacy is the reason most Brooklyn windows get covered — light control and insulation come second.

What we fit here

Three kinds of Brooklyn window

Tall, narrow and rarely square

Original parlour-floor windows are often out of true by an inch top to bottom. We measure each one individually rather than assuming a matched set.

Roman shades fitted to tall parlour-floor windows

Radiators, sills and painted frames

Covers under the window, sills that stop a blind sitting flush, and frames repainted a dozen times. We check the substrate on the measuring visit, not on the day.

Floor-to-ceiling glass, and a lot of it

Wide runs that need several shades moving together, and building rules on what faces the street. Motorized systems handle both.

Designers & architects

We are used to being a small detail in a much larger plan. Trade discounts are available on collaborative projects.

Talk to us

Contractors

Measured around your schedule and fitted when the site is ready, so window treatments are not the thing holding up handover.

Questions from Brooklyn clients

Can you provide a certificate of insurance for my building?

Yes. Co-op and condo boards ask for one before anyone works in the building, and plenty of brownstone managing agents do too. We send it ahead of the install date, named the way they want it.

Do you charge extra to come to Brooklyn?

No. The consultation, the measure and the quote are free across all five boroughs.

What works best for privacy without losing the light?

Solar shades and sheers hold daytime privacy while keeping the view. Top-down-bottom-up shades cover the lower half and leave the top open — useful when the window opposite is close.

My brownstone windows are not square. Is that a problem?

It is normal here. We measure each window individually and build to that measurement, rather than treating a row as identical.

Can you work around a radiator cover?

Yes. We check clearances on the measuring visit and choose a mount that clears the cover and still closes properly.

Do you offer trade discounts?

Yes, for designers, architects and contractors on collaborative projects. Tell us about the job and we will quote accordingly.

How long does it take?

Most apartments are fitted in a single visit once the treatments are made. We give you the timeline with the quote.
