Flat and relaxed roman shades in your fabric, with a cord-safe lift that suits homes with children.

Sun-fast rollers and solar screens for tall and water-view windows, cutting glare without losing the sight line.

06On-site measure & install
We measure at the house and hang it, from the peninsula to Mount Pleasant and the islands.
Measured and hung
We come to the window.
Drapery that fits is measured at the window, not ordered to a rough size. We measure at the house across Charleston and the islands, make the panels and shades at the North Charleston workroom, and come back to hang them, hardware and all, so the only thing you do is pick the fabric.

Window questions
Asked at the window.
If yours is not here, call the workroom or put it in the estimate form.
Do you measure and install, or just make the drapery?
We do all of it. We measure at the house, make the panels at the workroom, and come back to hang them with the hardware.
Can you handle tall historic-home windows?
Yes. Tall and oversized openings in the historic district are a routine part of what we measure, make and hang.
Do you supply the hardware and tracks?
Yes. Rods, tracks, brackets and motorised systems are supplied and fitted, including for hard-to-reach windows.
Can you help with water-view glare?
Yes. Solar and roller shades cut glare on marsh and harbour views without blocking the sight line, and we line panels for the afternoon light.
How long does custom drapery take?
Made to measure runs about 2 to 4 weeks depending on fabric and the number of windows, and we give a working date with the estimate.
