At Colorado Shade and Shutter, we combine beautiful, designer-level window coverings with attentive, start-to-finish service for homeowners. An in-home blind, shade or shutter consultation is the heart of that experience. During this free consultation, we'll examine your space's light and architecture to guide our recommendations. We'll also confirm measurements and finishes.
Here are a few steps you can take to prepare for your consultation to ensure your selections fit your home and lifestyle.
You can follow this consultation checklist to get ready for our visit.
To prepare for a consultation, define the top need for every room, such as:
Take note of where the sun is harsh and any hot or cold spots that might benefit from extra insulation. You can also flag your personal must-haves, such as blackout shades in bedrooms or easy-clean options for the kitchen.
Save a few photos of rooms you love for inspiration. Take note of your preferred colors and finishes to ensure a cohesive alignment of materials. You should also make sure all your decision-makers will be present during the in-home consultation or available virtually to finalize choices in one visit.
List windows by room and count the number of openings you want to cover. If you're planning a larger project, you can mark priority windows to do now, and those that can wait for another phase.
It can help to note any special shapes and constraints of your space, such as:
Having rough width or height measurements can help with early pricing and estimates. Our knowledgeable team will take the final measurements.
Consider your lifestyle needs and preferences.
On the day of your shade, blind or shutter consultation, make sure pets are contained and any alarms are silenced or switched off. Clear sills and provide about 3 feet of access. Raise or remove temporary coverings if possible and ensure good lighting.
If you're considering motorization, make sure a nearby outlet is available for demonstrations and note the outlet locations for future power needs.
You should also have a budget range and timeline ready. If you have questions about installation or lead times, write them down so you remember during the consultation.
