My Story

---

I was always handy with tools. In 1996 I got a job as an assistant installer with a large workroom in NYC. The job of an assistant installer is to bring the tools and ladders to the site. They bring in all the materials open the boxes and place the shades by the corresponding rooms and windows. Then you remove all the boxes. 

Most shade products come with an instruction manual. I started taking them all home and putting them in a binder. I would study them at night and watch and ask questions during the day.

They were installing a lot of motorized shade systems. Because I was studying the manuals, I was able to answer the installers questions. These are guys with many years on the job. I would answer a question and successfully troubleshoot a problem. They would ask how do you know that and I would say, " I saw you do it once."

We were working in a very large home. I did my job and laid out all the materials in all the rooms. The team was working on one side of the house. I went to the far side of the house and installed the room. I didn't say anything. When they got to the room they were very surprised. They asked who installed this. I said 'How does it look?' They said it was perfect, then I admitted that I installed it. From that moment I was an official installer. 

That was 29 years ago and I never stopped learning. We are on the cutting edge of all shade systems from simple cord-drawn shades to motorized systems. We can provide a solution to any problem. We can troubleshoot and upgrade shade systems. If I don't know the answer, I know how to find the answer. Give the winning team a call
