Frequently Asked Questions
What window treatment options are available in Cary?
We offer a comprehensive selection of exterior and interior window treatments designed to perform in Triangle conditions. Exterior options include wood, composite, fiberglass, PVC, and vinyl shutters, plus retractable awnings and motorized solar shades. Interior options include plantation shutters, wood blinds, faux-wood blinds, cellular shades, solar shades, roller shades, and drapery. Every product is custom measured to your windows in ¼-inch increments, ensuring proper fit for North Carolina’s humidity and temperature fluctuations.
Do you work with both residential and commercial clients?
We serve homeowners, builders, architects, and business owners throughout the Triangle region, including Cary, Apex, Chapel Hill, Holly Springs, and Morrisville. Projects range from single-room updates for residential clients to full-building installations for property managers and commercial operators. Our team adapts to each project’s scope while maintaining consistent quality standards.
What does the process look like?
It starts with a complimentary consultation at your home or business, where we discuss your goals and review product options suited to Triangle conditions. We then take precise measurements, accounting for structural details and irregularities in your window openings. Your treatments are fabricated in ¼-inch increments for exact fit, then installed by trained professionals who verify proper operation. One local team handles your project from start to finish.
What's the advantage of custom treatments versus standard retail products?
Custom fabrication in ¼-inch increments eliminates the gaps and poor fit common with standard retail sizes. For Cary homes facing humidity and temperature swings, proper sealing prevents drafts, moisture intrusion, and energy loss. We also access materials beyond what retail stores carry, with guidance on which options perform best in the Triangle. Our relationships with numerous U.S.-based manufacturers let us source the right product at competitive pricing.
Which Cary areas do you cover?
We serve the Triangle, including Cary, Morrisville, Apex, Chapel Hill, Holly Springs, Garner, and Pittsboro. Mike Mooney and his team understand North Carolina’s Triangle climate patterns and regional building styles, from newer planned communities to established Triangle neighborhoods.
Can you create specific colors for shutters?
We stock 40 standard colors and can match virtually any custom shade using a manufacturer color code or physical sample you provide. This capability allows you to coordinate with existing trim, siding, or exterior paint colors precisely. Custom color matching ensures your shutters integrate seamlessly with your home’s appearance.
Which materials are best suited to Cary's climate?
Triangle conditions (high humidity, intense sun, and occasional severe weather) require materials that resist moisture, UV damage, and temperature fluctuations. Composite and Polywood options resist expansion and contraction while requiring minimal maintenance, making them excellent for Triangle homes. Real wood provides natural insulation and classic appearance but needs proper finishing for humidity resistance. Cellular shades offer strong insulation for managing cooling costs during hot summers. We’ll walk through the advantages and limitations of each option during your consultation, helping you select materials matched to your home’s exposure and your maintenance preferences.
