Shades carry more of the workload in a Des Moines home than almost anywhere, because our windows face real winters and real summers in the same year. The right shade softens glare in July, holds furnace heat in January, and still looks right in between. I bring the full range to your door, roller, cellular, Roman, woven wood, and banded, and we choose in your own light.
Built for Iowa winters and summers
Cellular shades trap an insulating pocket of air against the glass, which matters on a subzero January night anywhere in Des Moines. In summer the same cells keep radiant heat out of south and west facing rooms. My full guide to cellular shades in Iowa winters covers exactly how that works.
A style for every Des Moines room
Downtown lofts with tall glass lean toward roller and solar shades that cut glare without hiding the view. Established neighborhoods with warm wood trim suit woven woods and Romans. Modern builds love banded shades. Every one is custom cut to your exact window.
One local expert, start to finish
I measure every window myself, order to those exact numbers, and install everything personally, usually in one visit. Blackout options for bedrooms, cordless for kids' rooms, and motorization for tall windows are all on the table at the same free estimate. Start on the custom shades page or the Des Moines service page.
