Frequently Asked Questions

Your Questions About Window Treatments, Answered

At The Blind Man System, we want every customer to feel confident in their window treatment decisions. Whether you're choosing new blinds, repairing old verticals, or designing custom drapery, you may have questions — and we’re here to answer them.



Below are some of the most common questions we hear from homeowners and business owners across Palm Bay and Central Florida.

  • What types of window treatments do you install?

    We install a full range of custom window treatments, including:


    • Blinds: faux wood, vertical, composite, aluminum
    • Shades: roller, sheer, blackout, woven wood, and motorized
    • Shutters: wood and composite, including plantation-style
    • Drapery: full-length curtains, custom panels, valances, and cornices
    • Layered window systems (e.g., shades with top treatments or drapery)

    We provide both the product and the installation — all in one service.

  • Do you offer in-home consultations?

    Yes. We offer free in-home consultations throughout Palm Bay and surrounding areas. During the consultation, we:


    • Discuss your goals for light control, privacy, style, and energy efficiency
    • Show product samples and materials
    • Take precise window measurements
    • Provide honest recommendations based on your space and budget

    Our consultations are no-pressure and educational, so you can make an informed decision without sales pressure.

  • How do I know which window treatment is best for my room?

    Each room has different needs. Here’s a quick guide:


    • Bedrooms: Blackout shades or lined drapery for full light control
    • Living rooms: Layered options like sheer shades with side panels for softness
    • Kitchens/baths: Composite blinds or shutters for moisture resistance
    • Sliding doors: Vertical blinds or wide panel shades
    • Home offices: Light-filtering roller shades to reduce glare

    We’ll help you choose the right product for each space based on function, style, and exposure to sunlight.

  • Can you install motorized shades or blinds?

    Absolutely. We offer motorized window shades and blinds for homeowners looking for smart solutions. Motorization works well for:


    • High or hard-to-reach windows
    • Homes with kids or pets (cordless safety)
    • Media rooms or bedrooms where light control is key
    • Automated light management with smart home integration

    We’ll walk you through the controls — remote, wall switch, or smartphone — and help you choose the right motorized option.

  • Do you offer window treatment repairs?

    Yes. We repair many common issues, including:


    • Broken cords or tilt mechanisms
    • Malfunctioning lift systems
    • Slats or louvers not opening or closing properly
    • Vertical blinds that have fallen out or lost alignment
    • Motorized shade issues
    • Shutter panels or hardware adjustments

    If a full replacement isn’t necessary, we’ll offer an honest repair solution whenever possible.

  • How long does installation take?

    Most window treatment installations are completed in a single visit. The average installation takes:


    • Blinds: 1 to 2 hours
    • Shades: 1 to 3 hours depending on the number of windows
    • Shutters: 1 to 2 hours per room (once fabrication is complete)
    • Drapery: 1 to 2 hours depending on hardware and layers

    We’ll give you a time estimate during your consultation so you know what to expect.

  • Do you carry all the products you install?

    Yes. We supply all the products we install. This includes custom blinds, shades, shutters, and fabric treatments. We work with trusted manufacturers and fabricators to ensure quality and fit.


    By sourcing directly, we eliminate compatibility issues and control the full process from measurement to installation.

  • Do I need to measure my windows before calling?

    No — in fact, we recommend that you don’t. We take all necessary measurements during your consultation to ensure accuracy.


    Each window is measured with professional tools and accounted for in your custom order. Measuring incorrectly is one of the most common causes of poor fit or returns when buying retail.

  • Do you work with designers, realtors, or builders?

    Yes. We collaborate with:


    • Interior designers and decorators
    • Real estate agents staging properties
    • Custom home builders and remodelers
    • Property managers for rental upgrades

    We provide direct communication, fast timelines, and flexible scheduling for professionals managing multiple projects.
