Custom Blinds & Shades in Clemmons, NC
Clemmons is about fifteen minutes down 158 from us, and it is one of the towns we are in most often. The village has grown quickly without ever quite losing its small-town shape.
Because of that growth, the housing runs across six decades. What fits a 1962 brick ranch does not fit a house built in 2018.
What we see in Clemmons homes
Peter Clemmons settled the area in 1802, but the town did not incorporate until December of 1986. Most of what we measure here went up long before that. Subdivisions started filling in during the late 1950s, and those blocks are full of brick ranches with wide, short windows. A long shade looks stubby on that shape. Two-inch faux wood blinds handle the proportion better, and the horizontal slat line matches the way the house already reads.
Tanglewood Park anchors the south side of town. William Neal Reynolds and his wife began laying the grounds out in 1921, and the county has owned the park since 1951. Homes along that edge often have large rear windows aimed at the tree line. Those are worth treating for glare rather than for privacy. A solar shade keeps the view and takes the hard edge off the afternoon.
The newer sections around Salem Glen and the Kinnamon area are production building from the 1990s onward. Sizes repeat, which makes a whole-home order straightforward. Most of these neighborhoods also run an HOA, and several care what the back of a treatment looks like from the street. A white or ivory backing keeps you clear of that conversation. Bring your covenants to the estimate and we will spec to them.
Two-story foyers and stairwell windows come up more here than anywhere else we work. They are high, they are hard to reach, and a manual lift is not realistic on them. Motorized roller shades solve it. We usually group the run on one channel so the whole set moves together.
What tends to work in Clemmons
Before you order in Clemmons
HOA backing color
Several Clemmons neighborhoods ask that treatments read the same color from the street. White or ivory backing satisfies almost all of them. Show us the covenants during the estimate and we will order to match, rather than leaving you to find out afterward.
Short ranch windows
The 1960s ranch openings around here are wider than they are tall. A tall stack of fabric looks wrong on them. A two-inch slat, mounted inside the frame, keeps the proportion right and still stacks tight when raised.

Common questions from Clemmons homeowners
How do you handle a window over a staircase?
With a motor, in almost every case. A cord or a wand on a window you cannot reach is not worth installing. We measure the opening from a ladder, size the shade, and set it on a rechargeable motor that runs from a remote or your phone. Charging comes around once or twice a year.
Is it cheaper to do the whole house at once?
Generally yes, and especially in a newer neighborhood where the window sizes repeat. Fabrication is priced per unit, but the measure and the install become one trip instead of four. We will price it both ways and show you the difference before you decide.
