Design Consultation
We visit your home, office, or commercial property with physical samples so you can see materials in your actual lighting and alongside your furnishings.
Professional Measuring
Laser-accurate measuring ensures a perfect, gap-free fit - a step that is critical for the performance of blackout shades and shutters.
Expert Installation
When your custom order arrives, our own crew handles installation start to finish - secure hardware and any motorized systems fully programmed.
Our In-House Installation Advantage
Every member of our installation team is fully trained and certified to handle complex window geometries, automated motorization setups, and heavy treatments.

“Just wrapped up the installation of new blinds throughout our Novato home. We highly recommend the owners at Bay Blinds. They are true professionals - on-time, precise, and happy to share their opinion on how a shade will look in a certain location. They quickly and efficiently problem-solved around a few difficult installation areas in our home. The installation was great - on-time, efficient, and thorough. I’m already back in touch with Bay Blinds to get shades for my office!”

Most single-room installations take about one to three hours from arrival to clean-up. A full-home project of 15 to 25 windows is typically completed in a single day by a two-person crew. Our team measures twice, mounts precisely, and vacuums every work area before leaving so your home looks finished, not interrupted. We schedule around your calendar, not ours.
Yes. We have specified and installed Hunter Douglas solutions for roughly 95% of window geometries found in Marin County and Petaluma homes - including angled bays, arched tops, skylights with motorized PowerView lift, narrow French-door side lights, and trapezoidal great-room walls. Your free in-home consultation confirms fit, mounting depth, and which product line best suits the opening before any order is placed.
Hunter Douglas backs every product with a limited lifetime warranty covering defects in materials and workmanship, and PowerView motors carry a seven-year warranty. On top of that, Bay Blinds provides a full year of labor coverage on installation, hardware adjustment, and cord or motor re-calibration. If anything fails or simply stops feeling right, we return and make it right.
Yes - most Hunter Douglas manual shades can be retrofitted to PowerView motorization within two years of the original installation, with no replacement of the shade itself. Battery wands, hardwired kits, and solar-charged options are all available. PowerView integrates with Amazon Alexa, Google Assistant, Apple HomeKit, and Samsung SmartThings so the upgrade slots directly into an existing smart home.
Yes. We offer 0% APR financing for twelve months on qualifying purchases of $500 or more, and longer-term promotional plans for whole-home projects. Pre-approval takes about two minutes during your consultation and does not require a hard credit pull to see your rate. Ask us at the consult and we will walk through the monthly options that fit your project.
Every consultation returns three clearly separated tiers - an entry-level good-better-best breakdown - so you can see exactly where dollars go and where you can scale back without losing performance. We also price-match any legitimate written quote from another authorized Hunter Douglas dealer within 5%. No pressure, no bait-and-switch: the goal is a plan that fits your home and your budget.
our designer brings more than fifteen physical fabric, wood, and shutter samples to your home and holds each one against your actual window in your actual light - morning, afternoon, and evening exposures read completely differently. He walks through opacity (sheer, light-filtering, room-darkening, blackout), operation, and architectural fit against your existing flooring, trim, and cabinetry before any decision is finalized.
