A plan for your home
A fresh fit for existing rooms and new spaces
The Forward Urbandale Comprehensive Plan addresses both reinvestment in established neighborhoods and development of new neighborhoods. Window treatment projects can have similarly different starting points: replacing a worn treatment, coordinating a remodeled room or furnishing an entirely new space.
If an addition or window replacement is part of your project, we can compare the finished openings with the rooms beside them. Even windows that look similar may have different recess depths or handles. The goal is a coordinated result based on measured conditions, rather than assuming old dimensions or hardware will carry over.
Choose the right treatment
Custom options, room by room.
Compare the look you want with the privacy, light control, and operation each room needs.
Learn from the treatment you are replacing
Before removing an old covering, note what you want the replacement to improve. Does it catch a handle, leave an awkward gap, feel heavy to lift or block too much glass when open? Those details are useful even if you plan to choose a completely different style.
Photograph the headrail, brackets and trim, but do not assume the same mounting holes will suit the new product. Hardware requirements vary, and old holes or patched areas may affect the installation plan. We inspect the proposed mounting surfaces and discuss any preparation needed. If repainting is planned, coordinate the sequence so final measurement and installation reflect the finished opening.
Connect an updated room with the spaces around it
An addition can look intentional without duplicating every treatment in the original home. Identify the element you want to carry through: a paint tone, a warm wood finish or a fabric texture. Then choose the product that works for the new window proportions and room use.
For example, adjustable wood blinds may suit one room while a fabric shade works better on an adjacent grouping. A repeated neutral or complementary drapery can connect them. Compare samples from the doorway between the rooms, where you will see both choices together, as well as beside each individual window.
Check shallow recesses, handles and nearby furniture
Inside mounting can leave the casing visible, but it requires enough usable depth for the chosen treatment. Window locks, projecting handles and screens may reduce that space. Outside mounting is another option to assess, with coverage and projection planned around the actual wall and trim.
If you are considering plantation shutters, discuss frame location and the path of each panel as it opens. For drapery, check wall space for stacking and whether fabric would interfere with a heat register or a frequently used door. Treat these clearances as selection criteria, not details to solve after the product arrives.
Make daily operation part of the upgrade
An update should work from the place where you normally stand or sit. Show us windows behind furniture, above a counter or beside a bed. Compare a reachable manual control with powered options where access is difficult, and ask how you would clean the window or recharge a motor after installation.
For bedrooms, separate the wish for softer daylight from the need for darker sleeping hours. Our cellular shade guide explains options to consider, while an in-home sample helps with fabric and color.

Can you replace just one room's window treatments in Urbandale?
Yes. A consultation can focus on one room or several spaces. Tell us what is staying elsewhere in the home so we can compare finishes and styles that coordinate with it.
Can my existing blind measurements be reused?
Old measurements can help describe the project, but the new order should follow professional measurement for the selected product and mount. Changes in trim, handles, windows or product requirements can change the usable dimensions.
Will new shutters use the same mounting points as my old blinds?
Do not assume so. Shutter frames and blind brackets have different installation requirements. We review the opening and discuss mounting surfaces, old holes and any preparation before placing the order.
