Custom Window Treatments
What to look for when selecting an ethical
window treatment company:
-
Call
more than one company to get a baseline for the
pricing. Make sure you can understand the
reasons for the lowest and highest priced
options.
-
Look
for a company that will give you more than one
option and type of window treatment.
-
Look
for a company that will explain the advantages
and disadvantages of each option and fully
explains the price difference. Compare the
quality. Have them show you samples.
-
Be
present when the company representative measures
your windows so if there are any issues they can
be addressed, such as unevenness.
-
They
should be able to show a copy of license and
insurance if asked.
-
Look
for those that will provide references.
-
To
avoid hidden charges, make sure what is in the
contract is actually going into your home or
business. Read the contract carefully and make
sure it's detailed and itemized.
-
Never
be pressured into making a decision in one day,
you may be offered incentives to hurry and sign
a contract. Today's price should be the same as
tomorrows.
-
50%
deposit is reasonable for custom window
treatment orders.
-
Don't
be afraid to stay in touch with your window
treatment company during the process so if
problems arise they can be attended to before
its too late.
-
Look
for a company that fully explains their
warranty.
What to avoid when selecting a company in this industry:
-
A
company that does not show you their insurance.
If someone is injured on the job and is not
insured, the consumer may be liable. Why take
that chance?
-
Companies
that will not provide you a detailed estimate,
everything needs to be in writing before you
place any orders.
-
Companies
that ask for excessive deposits.
-
Companies
that pressure you into buying today.
-
Companies
that will not let you call customers.
-
You
get what you pay for. If you want a qualified
and licensed specialist, you may need to pay a
little more, but in most cases it is money well
spent.
-
It
is also our opinion to stay away from companies
and individuals that do not specialize in window
treatments.
-
A
Company that does not do criminal background
checks on its worker's.

V2K
Window Décor and More
16220 Arrowhead Trail
Clermont, FL 34711
Phone (407) 877-5606

V2K window decor & more, is a
unique approach to window fashions where we take the
guesswork out of purchasing and designing window
treatments. In fact, V2K is the ONLY window
treatment company that lets you see what your
preferred window treatment will look like on your
windows before you buy.
This is really exciting technology,
because I can sit down with a client, put in a 3D
rendering of their room with the windows, floor type
and wall color all to scale. Then I can show them
what different window fashions will look like on
their windows. Our proprietary technology allows me
to show them swags, draperies, valances, blinds and
several other options with just a few keystrokes,
and I can price it at the touch of a button. This
means I can stay with them until I find the right
style, at the right price. There is no calling into
the workroom, calculating fabric runs, installation
and so on. That can take days. We do it quickly and
easily. My clients do not have to rely on their
imaginations or guess what the window treatments
will look like, I can show them, from the comfort of
their own home, on my laptop computer screen.
V2K sells top-name manufacturers,
such as Hunter Douglas, Graber, Kirsch, as well as
our own private label line and many others at very
competitive prices. For more information on the
different window treatments please see my website: http://lisabowers.v2k.com
