Ask what size screws and anchors the installer uses for drywall versus brick. Thin walls require specific anchors to prevent bracket pull-out. Heavy curtain rods need deep hold. Verify the installer brings appropriate fasteners for your specific wall material. Missing or incorrect anchors are a common cause of falling hardware later on.
If installing on a tilted wall, ask how the frame will adhere. Use a level to check for uneven surfaces. A crooked installation causes gaps and prevents smooth operation. The installer should bring shims or adjustable brackets to compensate for minor structural irregularities in your home. Verify this support method in the contract.
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.
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.
Sticking cords indicate worn or damaged lift mechanisms. Sliding runners need regular cleaning to move smoothly. Dust accumulation inside headrails causes noise. Tighten loose brackets immediately to prevent pulling. If the blind tilts unevenly, check the mounting screws. Regular maintenance extends product life and prevents sudden breakdowns mid-use.
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.
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.
Ask if the quote includes removing old blinds and cleaning up dust. Drywall sanding creates fine particles that settle everywhere. Insist on using drop cloths to protect nearby furniture. Confirm the contractor vacuums the work area before leaving. Failure to clean properly leads to dust settling on electronics and floors, requiring extra effort from you.
Decide if you need a separate liner behind the main curtain. Liners add warmth and privacy without blocking all light. This adds cost and complexity. Measure both widths separately to allow for proper gathering. Confirm whether the quote includes labor for installing two layers of fabric on a single hook system or requires dual rails.
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.
