Don’t Let the Ohio River Valley
Climate Destroy Cheap Blinds
Humidity Warps Natural Wood
Northern Kentucky summers are heavy and humid. Bargain wood blinds from big box stores often absorb moisture, leading to bowing, yellowing, and cracking. We install premium moisture-resistant composite products designed to handle the Ohio Valley atmosphere without losing their shape or beauty.
The “Fishbowl” in New Subdivisions
In booming communities like Union and Florence, new homes are often built close together. Standard blinds force you to choose between natural light and a view of your neighbor’s siding. We offer top-down/bottom-up shades that provide perfect privacy while letting in sunlight from above.
Drafty Historic Window Gaps
Older homes in Covington and Fort Mitchell often have windows that are no longer perfectly square. Off-the-shelf blinds leave ugly gaps that let in cold winter drafts. Our precision measuring ensures a gap-free, custom fit that lowers your heating bills and respects your home’s historic character.
Now that’s easy, call now!

Program them to open with the sunrise for a natural start to your morning in Union, or close them for instant privacy and energy savings during your evening commute back to Walton.
Timeless Style for Historic NKY
Nothing elevates a stately home in Fort Mitchell or Fort Thomas like custom plantation shutters. They are a permanent architectural upgrade that adds significant curb appeal and home value. Beyond the classic look, they provide a solid insulating barrier against the chilly Ohio Valley winters and humid summers.
Reclaim Your Outdoor Living Space
Don’t let the humidity or insects chase you inside. Our motorized exterior screens turn your deck or patio in Burlington or Cold Spring into a bug-free, comfortable retreat. Block the intense afternoon sun and add privacy from neighbors, creating the perfect space for relaxing in the beautiful Northern Kentucky hills.
Window Coverings Built for the Northern Kentucky Climate
Living in the Ohio River Valley means dealing with heavy humidity and sharp winter chills. Our collection is curated to thrive in the NKY atmosphere. From moisture-resistant shutters that won’t warp in the summer heat to insulating shades that stop winter drafts, we provide durable, high-quality solutions for your home in Florence, Covington, or Union.
SHADES
The perfect balance of performance and style. Our cellular honeycomb shades trap a layer of air at the window, providing an essential thermal barrier against the chilly Northern Kentucky winters. For modern homes in Independence, consider our sleek roller shades for a clean look that blocks the glare without blocking your natural light.
SHUTTERS
A permanent architectural upgrade for NKY homes. Plantation shutters add unmatched curb appeal and property value to historic homes in Fort Thomas and new builds in Union alike. Crafted from premium hardwood or durable composite, they provide superior privacy and a solid layer of insulation against the elements year-round.
BLINDS
Achieve a classic look with modern durability. Our faux wood blinds are engineered to handle the Ohio Valley humidity without warping or peeling, making them ideal for kitchens and bathrooms. They offer precise light control and a polished aesthetic that fits perfectly in any Florence or Burlington neighborhood.
OUTDOOR SHADES
Reclaim your outdoor space from the heat and insects. Our motorized exterior screens transform your deck or patio in Boone or Kenton County into a comfortable, bug-free retreat. Block the intense afternoon sun and reduce the glare, allowing you to enjoy the beautiful NKY rolling hills in peace.
DRAPERY
Add a layer of warmth and sophistication to your home. Custom drapery provides a finished, high-end look that complements the traditional architecture found in Fort Mitchell. Beyond style, thick drapery panels offer excellent acoustic dampening, reducing outside noise and making your home feel like a quiet sanctuary.
DECORATIVE GRILLES
Enhance your home’s character with custom architectural detail. Faux iron grilles are a stunning addition to transom windows or entry doors common in NKY architecture. They provide the sophisticated look of custom wrought iron without the weight, adding an artistic touch that boosts your home’s curb appeal.
