How much do custom blinds, shades, and shutters cost in East Denver?

Custom window treatments typically range from under $100 to over $1,000 per window. The price depends on the product, window size, material, operating system, motorization, and number of windows, so an exact quote requires measuring the actual windows. Made in the Shade East Denver includes a free in-home consultation — owners Mark and Julie Ham measure every window, show samples in your home's real light, and tailor the quote to your actual project. Call (720) 303-5962 to book.

What window treatments work best for Denver's high-altitude sun?

At Denver's altitude the UV is about 20% stronger than at sea level, so sun-fighting products work best: spectrally selective solar shades block solar heat and UV while preserving your mountain views, cellular shades add insulation for the big temperature swings, and shutters add a durable climate shield. West- and south-facing rooms benefit most. With 300 days of sunshine a year, protecting floors, furniture, and finishes from fading is a priority in nearly every East Denver home.

Are you locally owned?

Yes. Made in the Shade East Denver is locally owned and operated by Mark and Julie Ham, who personally handle the consultation, measuring, and installation. You work directly with the owners, not a call center or a big-box retailer. Julie brings a background in interior design and Mark in local business, so you get both design guidance and dependable service.

Do cellular shades really lower energy bills?

Yes. Cellular (honeycomb) shades trap a layer of insulating air against the glass, reducing heat loss in Denver's cold snaps and heat gain during the sunny days. The U.S. Department of Energy estimates cellular shades can cut window heat gain by up to 40%. That insulation is especially valuable with Denver's dramatic temperature swings, easing the load on your Xcel Energy bill year-round.

How does the free in-home consultation work?

Made in the Shade brings the showroom to you: Mark and Julie come to your home, review products and samples in your actual light, take professional measurements, and give you a quote. After you order, they handle professional installation for a precise fit. No fighting traffic or parking at a retail center — you compare colors and textures against your own walls, floors, and Colorado light.

What areas do you serve?

Made in the Shade East Denver serves Centennial, Aurora, Bennett, Denver, Greenwood Village, and the surrounding areas, including neighborhoods like Saddle Rock, Blackstone, Tallyns Reach, Copperleaf, Heritage Eagle Bend, and the communities around DIA. The mobile showroom comes to your home anywhere in the service area. Call (720) 303-5962 to confirm we cover your neighborhood.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Our experience with Made in the Shade was excellent from start to finish. From the initial website inquiry that brought a timely and thoughtful in-home consultation with Nicole to the installation by Josh and Reese, we were impressed with the communication and professional behavior throughout. We had disliked the brightly colored roller shade covering a very large kitchen window since buying our home several years ago - we now wish we had reached out sooner! Highly recommend and will definitely use them again for custom window treatments.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I have had a great experience with the team at Made in the Shade Austin. We have great Levelor blinds that were installed a couple years back and the performance has been flawless.  We have blockout shades for bedrooms upstairs that have been wonderful.  We had a service request recently and they were prompt and took care of our shades.  We live in Horseshoe Bay and they traveled out 2x to get our shades serviced. They have taken care of the home and made working with them as easy as possible.  I highly recommend Kelli and Matt.  Great people to do business with!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. So happy with their fast, friendly service with fair pricing. I spent over a month trying to get a different company to come out and fix and exterior shade they had installed and the delays kept happening.  The pricing was steep as well. I called these guys and they came out the next day.

They have installed interior shades for me a couple of years ago and they are operating fine with no problems. Very happy with that encounters also.

They are my go to from now on.

Why East Denver Homeowners Invest in Custom Shutters:

Permanent Home Value: Unlike blinds, custom shutters are considered a permanent fixture (like custom cabinetry), helping increase the long-term value and appeal of your East Denver home.
Built for Colorado’s Climate: Our composite shutters resist moisture, warping, and cracking, making them an excellent choice for bathrooms, kitchens, and homes that experience Colorado’s dry air and seasonal temperature swings.
Superior Energy Efficiency: The solid construction and tight-fitting louvers help insulate your home year-round—keeping interiors cooler during sunny Colorado summers and reducing heat loss throughout cold winter months.
Unobstructed Mountain & Neighborhood Views: Larger 3.5″ or 4.5″ louvers provide wider, more open views while delivering a clean, timeless, furniture-quality appearance that enhances your home’s curb appeal.
