Don’t Let Michigan Weather Wear Down Your Home
Drafty Windows & High Heating Bills
Older Oakland County homes are charming, but single-pane and aging windows bleed heat all winter. Gaps in cheap blinds make it worse. Our insulating cellular shades trap a layer of air at the glass, acting as a thermal barrier that keeps rooms warmer and cuts your winter heating costs.
Faded Floors & Furniture Summer sun
Especially off reflective snow in late winter — pours UV into south- and west-facing rooms, bleaching hardwoods, rugs, and upholstery. Our solar shades and UV-filtering fabrics block that damage while keeping your view.
Condensation & Warping
Michigan’s humidity swings and winter condensation can warp real-wood blinds near kitchens and baths. Our composite shutters and faux wood blinds resist moisture, so they won’t crack, peel, or warp where the air is damp.
Now that’s easy, call now!

Motorized Window Shades
Smart Comfort for Every Season

Shutters
Shutters — The Timeless Oakland County Look
Nothing complements the classic architecture of Birmingham or Royal Oak like custom plantation shutters. They deliver a timeless, upscale look while offering the best insulation of any treatment, and they add lasting resale value. Built to last, they never warp in humidity or fade in the sun.
Exterior Shades
Cellular Shades — Year-Round Energy Savings
The single best insulator for a Michigan home. Honeycomb cells trap air at the window, keeping heat in during winter and out during summer — meaningfully lowering your DTE Energy bills in Ferndale or Huntington Woods while softening incoming light.
