WE CAN RETAPE (LADDER), RECORD AND CLEAN THESE VINTAGE PRODUCTS. WE ALSO OFFER A CUT DOWN SERVICE TO MAKE OLD SHADES FIT AGAIN, A COMMON NEED AFTER WINDOW REPLACEMENT. THIS IS A VERY PRECISE SERVICE AND OFTEN ATTAINABLE ALTHOUGH CERTAIN RESTRICTIONS DO APPLY AND THEY VARY FROM ONE PRODUCT TO ANOTHER. IN SOME CASES WE CAN CONVERT YOUR CURRENT SHADES TO TOP-DOWN/BOTTOM-UP. IN-HOME SALES ESTIMATES: ARE FREE. WE CAN BRING SAMPLES TO YOUR HOME IF THAT IS MORE CONVENIENT FOR YOU. WE WOULD SUGGEST THAT YOU CALL FIRST TO SET UP AN APPOINTMENT TO SEE THE PRODUCTS AND SAMPLES IN OUR SHOWROOM. IT GIVES YOU ALOT MORE CHOICES AVAILABLE AT AN ARMS LENGTH AND THEN I'LL KNOW WHICH PRODUCTS TO BRING TO AN ON-SITE SALES CALL. THIS PREVENTS ME FROM SHOWING UP WITH SEVERAL SAMPLE BOOKS ONLY TO FIND OUT THAT A VERY SPECIFIC PRODUCT COULD BE BETTER BUT IT'S AT THE SHOP. THAT'S INCONVENIENT FOR BOTH OF US. WE ALSO ARE ABLE, IN SOME CASES, TO REQUEST "FREE" SAMPLE CUTTINGS BE MAILED TO YOUR HOME, SO YOU MAY HAVE THE OPPORTUNITY TO COMPARE THE CHOICES IN YOUR OWN ROOM, UNDER YOUR LIGHTING SYSTEM. WE LOOK FORWARD TO SPEAKING WITH YOU ABOUT YOUR NEEDS. PLEASE CALL, LET US BE YOUR RESOURCE FOR WINDOW COVERINGS INFORMATION.
