Our take: A near-perfect rating on a large review base, and the shop-at-home model is a real convenience if you don't want to haul fabric swatches home yourself. Worth the higher price for buyers who want full-service handling start to finish.

How we score

Every number on this page comes from public Google data as of the date shown, not opinion or payment. Rating is the store’s live Google star average. Review volume shows how many customers have rated them, ranked against other Chicago blinds stores. Confidence weighs the rating by that volume, so a 5.0 from hundreds of reviewers carries more weight than a 5.0 from a handful. Recency reflects how recently customers are still leaving reviews. No business can pay to change these numbers.

How much do custom blinds cost in Chicago? (2026)

Pricing depends heavily on the window treatment type (blinds versus shades or shutters), the material, motorization, and how many windows are involved. Larger orders and specialty shapes like skylights or bay windows typically cost more per window than a standard rectangular frame.

Serving all of Chicago

These blinds stores cover Chicago and the surrounding area, including Lincoln Park, Lakeview, River North, Logan Square, Oak Park and the North Side more broadly. Searching for a blinds store near me? Each listing below has a live phone number and address so you can find the closest showroom.

What to ask before you hire a blinds store

  • Do you offer a free in-home measuring and design consultation?
  • Is installation done by your own staff or a subcontractor?
  • What warranty applies if a mechanism fails after a few years?
  • Can you handle specialty shapes like skylights, bay windows or French doors?
  • What is the typical turnaround from order to installation?
  • Do you carry motorized options, and can they integrate with a smart home system?

Frequently asked questions

How did you choose these blinds stores?

We started from blinds and window treatment stores in Chicago with a public Google presence, then ranked by rating, review volume, consistency and recency. See How we score above.

Are these rankings paid?

No. Rankings come from the public Google data in the scorecard. A business can pay to be a Featured Partner, which adds a badge and top placement, but that never changes another business’s score or position on the underlying data.

How often is this updated?

The data carries a verified date (August 2026 on this page). We refresh listings periodically so ratings and review counts stay current.

Do any of these Chicago blinds stores handle motorized shades?

Yes. Skyline, Stoneside, and Gotcha Covered of Chicago all install motorized blinds and shades that can be controlled by remote, app, or voice command. Ask each store which systems they support.

How long does a custom blinds installation take in Chicago?

Turnaround varies by store and order size, but reviewers across several of these shops describe measuring one week and installation the next, with larger multi-room orders taking longer.

The bottom line

Skyline Window Coverings is the safe default given its size and perfect rating, while Blinds Gallery stands out for long-term repair support if you want a shop that sticks around. Whichever you call, ask for an in-home measurement before you commit to a fabric or slat style.
