Ask if the pro brings a level and drilling kit. Check for bracket alignment. Uneven fittings cause operational issues later. Verify they use appropriate wall anchors for your specific wall type. Drywall requires different screws than concrete. Poor installation leads to sagging or jammed mechanisms. Inspect the finished bracket work carefully yourself.
If choosing motorized blinds, test the remote range during installation. Walls and metal frames block radio frequencies. Confirm the remote works from the furthest point in the room. Ask about repeaters if the signal fails. Document this test in the final report. A weak signal means you cannot control blinds effectively from your favorite chair.
Ask for the gram weight per square meter of curtain fabric. Heavier weaves provide better insulation and sound dampening. Thin voiles block less light but fit narrow brackets. Confirm the material resists fading if placed near south-facing windows. Request physical samples to assess texture and drape before committing to a purchase.
Base quotes often exclude hardware like tilt cords or wand mechanisms. Motorized options add significant expense. Header brackets and side channels cost extra. Ask if removal of old treatments is included. Disposal fees sometimes apply for bulky items. Request an itemized quote to reveal all additional line items clearly before payment.
Inspect how the end caps seal the sliding track. Loose caps allow dust and lint to enter the mechanism. This causes friction and eventual failure. Demand tight-fitting caps made of durable plastic or metal. Ask about replacement parts availability. A simple cap issue can ruin a premium curtain setup by trapping debris inside the gear system.
For driven blinds, confirm the motor battery type and expected lifespan. Ask if the system includes a manual crank for power outages. Check the brand of the central controller and app compatibility with your phone. Ensure the technician provides a warranty covering both the motor unit and the remote control device separately.
Avoid continuous loop cords near children or pets. Choose cordless wand systems for safe operation. Magnetic controllers are another safe alternative. Ensure all hardware is recessed or covered. Check that no small parts can break off easily. Safety certifications on products protect your household from ingestion or strangulation risks effectively.
Measure the width and height of the window recess precisely. Use a steel tape measure, not a flexible one. Check all 4 sides because walls are rarely square. Note the distance from the sill to the floor. Incorrect measurements lead to returned goods and extra charges. Always record the channel width for custom blinds.
For heavy drapes, ensure the top sliding rail supports the total weight. Ask for the maximum load capacity in kilograms. Standard consumer rails often hold less than you think. Overloading causes the runners to bend and jam. Demand written confirmation that selected hardware matches the total fabric weight before installation begins.
Compare quotes based on identical specs. Check if the price includes measurement visits. Verify warranty duration in writing. Confirm whether installation labor is separate from product cost. Look for clarity on return policies. Vague quotes hide future charges. Detailed line items allow fair comparison between different local providers easily.
