Question 1

How much do custom window treatments cost?

Accepted Answer

Pricing depends on the product, material, size, and options. Plantation shutters typically start around $400–$600 per window, while shades and blinds can start lower. We provide a firm, itemized quote during your free consultation so there are no surprises.

Question 2

What happens during the free consultation?

Accepted Answer

A Magnolia designer brings samples to your home, reviews your style and functional goals, measures your windows, and prepares a detailed quote. There's no pressure to buy, and the consultation is completely free across our South Orange County service area.

Question 3

Do I have to visit a showroom?

Accepted Answer

No. We come to you. Our design consultants carry curated samples, so you can compare materials and colors in your actual lighting and against your existing décor.

Question 4

How long does installation take?

Accepted Answer

Most projects are installed in one day. A few hours for a typical home, and a full day for larger homes with many windows or specialty treatments. We'll give you a clear timeline when you approve the quote.

Question 5

What is the lead time from order to install?

Accepted Answer

Custom orders typically take 2–4 weeks from approval, depending on the product and material. Motorized and specialty orders may take a bit longer. We'll keep you updated at every step.

Question 6

Do you measure and install, or do I need another contractor?

Accepted Answer

We handle everything in-house: measurement, ordering, and installation. One team means fewer mistakes and better accountability.

Question 7

What products do you offer?

Accepted Answer

We offer custom plantation shutters, roller shades, cellular and honeycomb shades, Roman shades, vertical blinds, faux wood blinds, real wood blinds, motorized and smart shades, and woven wood shades.

Question 8

Can I motorize my shades or blinds?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Many of our products are available with motorized or smart-home options, including integration with systems like Alexa, Google Home, and others. Motorized shades are especially popular for hard-to-reach windows and media rooms.

Question 9

Are your window treatments energy efficient?

Accepted Answer

Cellular and honeycomb shades are especially energy efficient, trapping air in honeycomb cells to reduce heat transfer. Shutters and layered shades also add insulation and improve comfort year-round.

Question 10

How do I clean my shutters, shades, or blinds?

Accepted Answer

Most shutters and hard treatments can be dusted with a microfiber cloth or lightly wiped with a damp cloth. Fabric shades can be gently vacuumed with a brush attachment. We'll include specific care instructions for your chosen products after installation.
