Question 1

How much do custom blinds, shades, and shutters cost in the Westfield area?

Accepted Answer

Custom window treatments typically range from under $100 to over $1,000 per window. The price depends on the product, window size, material, operating system, motorization, and number of windows, so an exact quote requires measuring the actual windows. That's why Made in the Shade Golden Triangle includes a free in-home consultation — we measure every window, show samples in your home's real light, and tailor the quote to your actual project.

Question 2

What window treatments are best for New Jersey's four-season climate?

Accepted Answer

Cellular (honeycomb) shades are the top all-season choice for New Jersey — they insulate against hot, humid summers and cold, snowy winters, lowering your PSE&G bills year-round. Plantation shutters add timeless insulation and value, and solar shades cut summer heat and glare while preserving your view. Because our winters are cold and our summers are humid, insulation matters in both directions — we help you prioritize your home's key windows.

Question 3

Are you locally owned?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Made in the Shade Golden Triangle is locally owned and designer-led by Jessica, a longtime Westfield resident who guides every project from samples to measurement to installation. Based right here in the Westfield-Short Hills area, we serve Summit, Chatham, Madison, Millburn, and the surrounding communities — you work directly with a local designer, not a call center.

Question 4

Do cellular shades really lower energy bills?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Cellular (honeycomb) shades trap a layer of insulating air against the glass, reducing heat loss in New Jersey's cold winters and heat gain in the humid summers. The U.S. Department of Energy estimates cellular shades can cut window heat gain by up to 40%. That dual-season insulation eases the load on both your heating and cooling, lowering your PSE&G bills all year.

Question 5

How does the free in-home consultation work?

Accepted Answer

Made in the Shade brings the showroom to you: we come to your home, review products and samples in your actual light, take professional measurements, and give you a quote. After you order, we handle professional installation for a precise fit. No showroom trip and no time away from your commute — you compare colors and textures against your own walls, floors, and New Jersey light.

Question 6

What areas do you serve?

Accepted Answer

Made in the Shade Golden Triangle serves Westfield, Summit, Short Hills, Millburn, Chatham, Madison, Livingston, Springfield, Scotch Plains, Cranford, Berkeley Heights, New Providence, Mountainside, Fanwood, Garwood, Florham Park, and surrounding areas. The mobile showroom comes to your home anywhere in the service area. Call (908) 633-7909 to confirm we cover your neighborhood.
