The Benefits of Professional Curtain Installation.
Our professional Installers are trained and experienced in fitting window coverings every day.
This training and experience ensures that the job will be done correctly and efficiently with minimal disruption to the homeowner. This gives you back valuable time to focus on all of the other details required when building, renovating, or simply undertaking a home makeover.
Having your products professionally installed means you are covered by our installation warranty.
This means that if any issue does arise, repairs and alterations are covered under your warranty with dollar curtains + blinds.
You save time.
Installing a full house of window coverings will take our professional Installers a few hours to complete thanks to their experience. The same job could take a few days to do for someone that has never installed Blinds or Curtains before.
No tools required.
Our professional Installers have everything needed to get the job done perfectly, right down to the best screws. They even take the rubbish away!
The Risks of DIY Curtain Installation.
It can take longer.
Unless you have experience, installing your own window coverings can be trickier and more time consuming than you would think. What would take a professional a few hours may end up taking you a few days or longer!
You will need tools.
Although not much is needed to install your own window coverings, you will need some basic equipment. To install your own products, you will require a tape measure, drill, screwdriver, and a ladder that allows you to reach the top of your windows.
You won’t be covered by an Installation Warranty.
If anything goes wrong while installing your window coverings whether it’s damage to the product or your home, you won’t be covered by an installation warranty which could have you needing to cover extra costs for repairs.
Transporting your order.
If you have large windows and the products you have ordered are long you will need to consider how you will get them home as some may be too long for a standard car.
Professional vs DIY Costs
Cost is often the deciding factor when choosing between DIY and professional installation for Curtains + Blinds. Here’s what to expect:
With Professional You Pay for Quality
Professional Blind + Curtain installation charges vary according to product and complexity of the installation. Discounts are often available for multiple windows.
The Hidden Cost of DIY Mistakes
The most common DIY mistakes—incorrect measurements, uneven or unlevel installation, mounting brackets in the wrong location, and damaging walls or window frames during drilling—often cost $200–$500+ to repair. These expenses frequently exceed the cost of professional installation.
When installing motorised Blinds or Curtains, professional expertise is essential. Hardwired systems require electrical knowledge, and battery-operated options benefit from expert setup to ensure smart home integration works seamlessly.
