Custom motorized shades in Burbank

Burbank is a city of well-kept traditional houses and, increasingly, of people working from home in them. Most of the shade work we do here is split between bedrooms that need to be genuinely dark and offices where the glare has to go without the daylight going with it.

Shades in Burbank homes

Magnolia Park is largely 1930s and 1940s traditional and Spanish, with smaller, deeper-set windows and real plaster. That is good news for mounting and bad news for assumptions — openings are frequently out of square by a quarter inch or more, so we measure every one rather than one per room.

The Rancho district and the hill streets have larger, later houses with bigger glass and, in some pockets, HOA or design-review rules about what is visible from the street. Where that applies, the exterior-facing side of the fabric matters as much as the room-facing side, and we will tell you which fabrics have a white or neutral back.

Because so many Burbank households include someone working from home, screens are the practical problem. A monitor with a bright window behind it is a daily irritation, and it is a fixable one.

Offices, bedrooms, and the two different jobs they need

A home office wants a solar fabric that kills glare and keeps the daylight. A bedroom wants a blackout with the edges handled so the room is actually dark. Those are opposite products and the mistake is buying one fabric for the whole house.

What we install in Burbank

Everything on that list is cut and assembled at our workshop in North Hollywood, which is roughly a twenty-minute drive from most of Burbank. That is the reason we can quote two days when the rest of the market quotes three weeks — see how we build custom shades in Los Angeles.

Questions from Burbank customers

My HOA has rules about window coverings. Can you work with that?
Yes, and it is worth raising early. Many rules only concern what the street sees, which is solved by choosing a fabric with a neutral exterior face. Send us the guideline and we will match it.
What is best behind a desk for video calls?
A solar shade in a darker colour. It cuts the glare and the backlight without dropping the room into gloom, so you are lit instead of silhouetted.
Do you install in the older Magnolia Park houses?
Regularly. Plaster and out-of-square openings are normal there. We measure each window individually rather than assuming the room is consistent.
