Window Treatment Partner for Builders and General Contractors
Window treatments for builders and general contractors: pre-construction planning, pre-wire guidance, and installs on your schedule.
Quality Blinds Solutions supplies and installs window treatments for builders, general contractors, and developers in Miami-Dade, Broward, and Palm Beach counties. We help plan shade pockets, blocking, and motorization pre-wire during construction, and schedule installs around your build timeline and punch list.
When Should Window Treatments for Builders Be Planned?
The best time to plan window treatments for builders is before drywall. Decisions made at framing and rough-in decide whether shades sit flush in a pocket, hang from a clean ceiling track, or run on hidden power. Fixing these later means patching drywall or living with exposed wires.
- Shade pockets: recessed ceiling pockets hide roller and motorized shades. Size them to the shade, fabric roll, and motor.
- Blocking: add solid blocking above windows and in ceilings where drapery track or heavy shades will mount.
- Pre-wiring for motorization: run low-voltage or line-voltage power to each window head where motorized shades are planned.
- Window and glass choices: large sliders and floor-to-ceiling glass may need motorized or split shades.
Do Motorized Shades Need Power, and Where?
It depends on the motor. Battery-powered motors need no wiring, which works for retrofits and smaller windows. Hardwired motors are better for large shades, groups, and whole-home or building control, and they need power at the window head before drywall. We give your electrician a window-by-window plan showing which openings need power and where.
Product Selection for Your Project
Share your plans and window schedule early, and we will help you choose products by room or unit type so selections are set before construction. Final pricing is confirmed after a field measure once windows are installed.
- Product and fabric options by area, with alternates to match your budget.
How Do You Coordinate Installs With a Build Schedule?
We schedule to your timeline, not ours. Final measurements happen once windows and finishes are in, then products go into production so they are ready when the space is.
- Plan review and pre-construction notes.
- Final field measure after windows and drywall.
- Production, with a confirmed delivery date.
- Install after paint and flooring, usually near the end of finishes.
- Punch list walk with your superintendent.
Model Homes, Spec Homes, and Multi-Unit Projects
Model and spec homes sell the finished product, so window treatments need to look right on the first walkthrough. For multi-unit projects, we standardize products by unit type to keep pricing predictable and installs fast. Ceiling track drapery is a popular upgrade for models. See curtain track installation and motorized shades.
Insurance and COI
We carry comprehensive liability insurance and provide a certificate of insurance before work starts.

Frequently Asked Questions
When should window treatments be planned in a new build?
Window treatments should be planned before drywall, ideally at framing and electrical rough-in. That is when you add shade pockets, blocking for drapery track or heavy shades, and power for motorized shades. Planning late means patching finished walls and ceilings or using exposed hardware, which adds cost and looks less finished.
Do you need power run for motorized shades, and where?
Only for hardwired motors. Battery motors need no wiring. For hardwired shades, power is needed at the head of each window, inside the shade pocket or above the window, before drywall. We provide a window-by-window plan for your electrician showing which openings need power and the type of wiring the motors require.
How do you coordinate install with our schedule?
We schedule around your build. We review plans early, do a final field measure after windows and drywall, and confirm a production and delivery date. Installation usually happens after paint and flooring. We finish with a punch list walk with your superintendent so every shade works before handover.
Do you provide a certificate of insurance?
Yes. We carry comprehensive liability insurance and provide a certificate of insurance before work starts. Send us your company or project requirements when you request a quote, and we will have the COI ready ahead of the install date so site access is not delayed.
Do you install curtain track and drapery in new builds?
Yes. We install ceiling- and wall-mounted curtain track and custom drapery, a popular finish for model homes and open living spaces. For ceiling track, plan solid blocking in the ceiling before drywall so the track mounts securely and runs straight across wide openings.
