If you've been searching "Home Depot blinds installer near me," "Lowes blinds installer Tennessee," "Costco blinds install," or "who installs Blinds.com window treatments," the answer is the same regardless of which retailer you used: Stately Shades does install-only service across Middle Tennessee for any brand, any retailer, any product. This guide covers the specifics of what we do, what we charge, and what to expect.
Retailers we install from most often
In rough order of how many we install per month:
- Home Depot — Hampton Bay, Bali, Custom Blinds, Levolor in-store products. The most common retailer we install for.
- Lowes — Levolor, Custom Size Now, Allen + Roth, Bali. Their custom-sized line is excellent quality.
- Blinds.com — and sister sites (JustBlinds, BlindsOnline). Solid quality, dimensions usually accurate.
- Costco — both warehouse and Costco.com. Best-in-category value at the price point.
- Amazon — Chicology, Yoolax, Loomgaal, generic faux wood, motorized SmartWings. Quality varies; we'll install what's structurally sound.
- Select Blinds — strong cellular and roller lines.
- IKEA — FYRTUR (motorized blackout roller), KADRILJ, TIBBLE. We've installed dozens of FYRTURs.
- Wayfair — Bali, Achim, custom no-name brands.
- Bali Direct, Levolor Direct — manufacturer-direct purchases.
- Builder leftovers from a previous project (5+ years old still install fine if sealed).

What our install includes
- Unbox every blind and check against the packing slip for damage.
- Verify dimensions against your openings before we drill.
- Mount level — the single most common DIY mistake, easily worth the install fee on its own.
- Hang the bottom rail symmetrically and tension the lift cord properly.
- Program motors — pair with your hub, set up/down limits, test scenes, walk you through the app.
- Demo the mechanism in person — lift, tilt, batteries, troubleshooting.
- Haul away packaging — cardboard, plastic, and the foam your hands don't want to deal with.
- Workmanship guarantee: if a bracket pulls out, the headrail levels itself out within 90 days, or a motor we programmed loses its limits, we come back on us.
The Home Depot Levolor scenario we see weekly
The single most common install-only request we get: a 6–10 window Home Depot Levolor faux wood order, arrived in boxes 2–4 weeks ago, customer didn't realize how much work the install would be. Typical project total: $310–$580 installed, scheduled within 5 business days, completed in a single 3–4 hour visit.
When it makes sense to use install-only vs. buy through us
- You already ordered. Obvious — install-only.
- You want a specific online product we don't stock (a Smart Wings FYRTUR alternative, a niche cellular cell count, an IKEA-only color). Install-only.
- You're price-shopping at the very bottom. A $40 Home Depot stock blind + our $50 install = $90 installed, which is comparable to our $89 custom. Honest math says we usually come out within $5 either direction. We'll tell you on the visit which way to go.
- You want custom dimensions, a free measure, and a quote from a pro before you spend. Buy through us — the consultation is free.
The single most common DIY mistake
It's the same on every retailer: ordering the wrong size. Lowes and Home Depot both default to a "factory deduction" for inside-mount and a "no deduction" for outside-mount, and getting that wrong is a $100 mistake. If you'd like us to measure before you order, we'll do that on the consultation visit for the cost of a service call — applied toward the eventual install fee.
How to schedule
Photograph the unopened blind boxes (or the inside flap with dimensions) and the windows they'll go on. Text the photos to 629-298-8241 with your address. We quote from the photos within a few hours and book the install within the week. Or use the contact form.
