Installing blinds and shades in your home can be an easy DIY project. Choose the type of window treatment you like, then decide if you prefer an inside mount or an outside mount setup. Both inside and outside mounted blinds and shades have mounting brackets included.

Installing standard blinds, shades, or drapes yourself is a relatively straightforward DIY job that will cost you between $40 and $120 per window. That means you'll save between $15 to $50 per window by doing the work yourself.

A professional blind fitter typically charges between £20 and £30 per hour to install blackout blinds, with a standard window taking around 30 minutes to fit.

$45 is the cost for a professional measurement to make sure your new blinds and/or shades will fit. The measurement fee will be credited back when you order your installation. Installation starts at $25 per blind and/or shade ($75 minimum required).
