How Much Does a Whole-Home Window Covering Project Cost?

Planning custom blinds, shades, or drapery for the whole house? Here's what published industry data says it costs, what our own 22-window Seattle project actually cost, and a free tool to get your own instant estimate.

Why a Whole-Home Quote Is Hard to Guess

Every room asks for something different. A living room usually just needs daytime privacy and soft light. A bedroom wants real blackout. A kids' room needs a cordless, child-safe option. A home office might need to flip from full daylight to near-blackout in seconds for movie nights. That means a true whole-home project mixes several product types — not one style repeated at every window — which is exactly why a single "average price per window" number rarely holds up in practice.

What the Industry Says Window Coverings Cost

Home-services cost guides publish a wide range, because "window treatment" covers everything from a $30 vinyl blind to a $3,000 custom drapery panel. Angi's 2026 cost data puts window treatment installation at roughly $167 to $1,873 per window, averaging close to $1,018 once materials and professional installation are both included. HomeGuide's independent pricing guide lands lower for standard products, at roughly $30 to $600 per window installed, rising to $250–$2,600 for large or fully custom shades.

Put those two together and the honest range for a professionally installed, mid-to-premium custom window covering is somewhere between about $150 and $750 per window, with luxury drapery and motorized upgrades pushing well past that on the high end.

Our Own Numbers: The Seattle Case Study

Rather than quote an average, we can show an actual project. A Seattle homeowner needed 22 windows covered across 8 spaces — living and dining room, master bedroom, a senior bedroom, a kids' room, and a home office — each with a different product to match the room's actual job (sheer curtains, layered drapery, and three honeycomb shade configurations). The homeowner's local Hunter Douglas dealer quoted an average of $450 per window before EasyBlinds got involved.

That $211-per-window average sits well under even the low end of Angi's published range and inside HomeGuide's standard-product band — while still including full custom fabrication, hardware, shipping, on-site measurement, and professional installation, not a stripped-down materials-only price.

Where Free On-Site Measurement Is Available

Part of why the Seattle project could move from quote to installed in about 25 business days is that EasyBlinds sends a real person to measure the actual windows, rather than relying on a customer's own tape-measure guesswork or a video call. That in-person visit is offered free in the following cities, spanning four countries — a level of hands-on coverage that's genuinely uncommon among online custom window covering retailers, most of which either sell manufacturing-only or limit local service to a single metro area:

Outside these cities, EasyBlinds still ships worldwide, backed by step-by-step measuring guidance and video support so a DIY measurement is as accurate as possible.
