Custom window covering costs depend on window size, material choice, and motorization options. Basic custom shades typically start around $200-400 per window, while motorized treatments range from $500-1200 per window depending on complexity.
The real comparison is total cost over time. Store-bought treatments often don’t fit properly and need replacement much sooner, especially in Florida’s harsh conditions. Custom treatments are measured precisely, use commercial-grade hardware, and come with professional installation.
Most quality custom installations last 10-15 years with minimal maintenance, while store-bought options often need replacement within 3-5 years. When you factor in energy savings from properly fitted treatments, the long-term cost difference becomes much smaller.
