My name is Robert Cardona. I started in the window treatment industry as an installer's assistant in 1995. In those early days, I would take installation manuals home with me and study them at night because I wanted to understand not only how to install the products, but how they worked.

More than 30 years later, I'm still learning. Window treatments, motorization and technology continue to change, and I've always believed that a professional installer should continue learning and improving with them.

Today, Shade Installer Pro provides professional shade and window treatment installation throughout New York City, working with interior designers, manufacturers, workrooms, contractors and private clients.

We order and install many types of custom shade systems and work with leading shade manufacturers in New York.

Our installation experience includes:

• Roman shades
• Roller shades
• Solar shades
• Blackout shades
• Motorized shades
• Specialty and custom shade systems

Whether you're looking for a single custom shade or window treatments for an entire residence, we can help determine the appropriate system for your space and professionally install it.

We specialize in motorized shade installation and have extensive experience with systems from Somfy, Rollease Acmeda/Automate and Lutron.

Installing motorized window treatments involves more than simply mounting a shade. Proper installation includes accurate measurements, secure and level mounting, proper shade alignment, programming, setting limits and testing the completed system.

We can help with both new motorized shade installations and existing systems that require professional attention.

Professional shade installation begins before we arrive with the shades.

From the beginning, we listen to what you need, measure the windows and assess the space to make sure the products we order are appropriate and fit properly.

Whether we're installing a manual or motorized shade system, our installation teams treat your home with the same care we would expect in our own homes.

We use drop cloths and shoe covers to protect the work area. When drilling into concrete or other surfaces that can produce significant dust, we use HEPA vacuum equipment to help keep the installation area clean.

During installation, we pay careful attention to bracket placement, leveling, shade alignment and operation. Motorized systems are programmed, limits are set and the system is tested before the installation is considered complete.

Over the years, we have worked with leading shade manufacturers and some of New York City's top interior designers.

We provide professional shade installation services for:

• Interior designers and decorators
• Architects
• Drapery and upholstery workrooms
• Shade manufacturers
• Contractors
• Private residential clients

Whether we're working directly with a homeowner or as part of a larger design project, our goal is the same: a clean, precise and professional installation.

Shade Installer Pro provides professional shade and window treatment installation throughout:

Manhattan • Brooklyn • Queens • The Bronx • Staten Island

We also work in surrounding areas depending on the size and location of the project.

Whether you need Roman shades, roller shades, blackout shades, solar shades, specialty window treatments or a complete motorized shade system, Shade Installer Pro can help from measurement and product selection through professional installation.
