How to get the best deals shopping for Window Coverings and Closets

Graber Natural Shades Picture Gallery 9

With all the hype about how most things will be shopped online, one may wonder if anyone spends anytime shopping (and living) in the real physical world anymore.

For us at Trendy Blinds and Closets, we often get emails or phone calls requesting quotes by email or over the phone.  The reality is that we carry hundreds of choices within each category of blinds, shutters and drapery.  For closets, material finish, composition, configuration and even installation factors affect pricing greatly.

For blinds, even when you narrow down to one specific finish, there are different lifting options, cassette options, and overall project size considerations for pricing and discounting.

For drapery, it gets even more complicated, with different drapery hardware pairing, top treatments, banding, lining, and fullness factor, plus over 1000 fabrics to choose from.

Unless you are a billionaire, I am sure you would want to meet and see the company you choose for your Window Coverings and Closets and Cabinetry project prior to spending possibly thousands of dollars.  The purpose of your initial phone call with us should be to assess if we have the capability and experience to deliver on what you are seeking instead of wasting time trying to narrow down vendors by seeing who will quote a lower ballpark pricing.  You should be really suspicious of companies who readily throws a price without asking for details or meeting with you.

How to get started in budgeting for your project and guarantee the best possible price:

  • Get Organized: take preliminary measurements of your windows and closet spaces and list out in table format or floor plan sketches. Also take photos of your windows and closets to show us when we meet.
  • Online research: explore available options and design configurations for your windows and closets. For closets, sketch out closet configurations or prepare photos of style and configurations you like.
  • Showroom Visit: book a time to visit our main showroom in Vaughan (Unit 200 & 201 – 7250 Keele Street, Vaughan, ON, L4K 1Z8) and take time to select things in detail at our showroom.
  • Share project details, like project address, timelines, important decision criteria, etc.

By doing the above 4 steps, this will allow us to accurately scope the project and give a firm quote pricing without having to pad the total amount to cover unforeseen missing details or changes.
