Buying window treatments online and installing them yourself is the source of most "my blinds don't work" calls. Penn Shades is a full-service installer — we measure, order, install, and stand behind it. We also handle install-only jobs for homeowners who bought treatments elsewhere and ran into mounting issues, hardware that didn't fit, or motorization that won't pair with the home's smart hub.
Signs You Need Window Treatment Installation
Your DIY blinds are crooked, binding, or sagging. The brackets that came with the unit don't anchor into your wall type (plaster, brick veneer, metal stud) and you've stripped half a dozen holes trying. Your shutters won't close flush against the window frame. Your motorized treatments won't pair with your Alexa, HomeKit, or Control4 setup. Your shades came in the wrong size — off by a half inch and now binding the side track.
Or the install never happened — the box has been sitting in the garage for three months because you've been meaning to get to it. We handle install-only jobs in days, not weeks, and we'll tell you straight if what you bought isn't going to work for your window before we start drilling.
Our Window Treatment Installation Options
We handle six install service types. Professional Measuring is the up-front service — a measure visit before you order, especially valuable for non-standard windows (arched, custom sizes, deep casings). Most online retailers don't take responsibility for measure mistakes, so a separate measure visit pays for itself. Blind Installation covers wood, faux wood, vertical, panel-track, and bamboo. Shade Installation covers roller, cellular, roman, zebra, solar, and outdoor.
Shutter Installation is a finish-carpentry job — plantation, café-style, full-height, and tier-on-tier shutters need to mount cleanly into the window frame with no visible gaps. Motorization Installation covers battery and hardwired motors, app pairing, scene programming, and integration with Alexa, Google Home, HomeKit, Control4, Crestron, and Lutron systems. Hardware Installation is drapery rods, finials, brackets, mounting plates, and tension rods — including the awkward installs into plaster, brick veneer, and metal-stud walls that DIY usually struggles with.
Window Treatment Installation for Pittsburgh Homes & Businesses
Older Pittsburgh homes — East End, Squirrel Hill, Shadyside, the historic North Side, and Mexican War Streets — have plaster walls, original wood trim, custom-size windows, and odd window depths that big-box installers and DIY kits don't handle well. Anchor placement, blocking, and proper drilling matter for both the long-term hold of the install and not damaging finish trim. Newer construction (Cranberry, Wexford, Sewickley Heights) is generally easier — straight studs and standard window sizes — but motorized installs in new builds often need integration with existing smart-home hubs that were set up by a different contractor.
We serve clients across Pittsburgh, Moon Township, Coraopolis, Sewickley, Robinson, Carnegie, Bridgeville, Mt. Lebanon, Upper St. Clair, Bethel Park, Cranberry, Wexford, McCandless, Fox Chapel, and surrounding communities.
What to Expect
Call (412) 634-5526 or book online. We schedule the install (or pre-install measure) within a few business days. For install-only jobs, send a photo of the product and the window during the booking — that lets us spot any size or compatibility issues before we show up. Standard install is one visit, 1–3 hours per room. We bring the right anchors and bits for plaster, brick veneer, and metal-stud walls — most DIY kits ship only drywall anchors.
