Depending on the type of blind, installation is crazy simple. I was a little apprehensive ordering 4K worth of blinds that couldn't be returned, but after measuring everything, labeling everything on the order form by room, and then going through it all with a sales rep for blinds.ca it was actually pretty easy to do. All my blinds arrived properly labeled (kitchen, bonus room, BR#1 etc etc) so I put them all in the correct rooms, and went to work.
I had roll blinds, blackout blinds, top down/bottom up, single cell, double cell and a few other random types that were all about 5 minutes per window to install. The hardest part was moving the ladder around so I could get the brackets in. I also googled "blinds.ca discount code" and found a 20% off one of the brands (pretty sure it was HD but I can't remember). That there saved about $800.
Also, don't make the mistake of paying $10-15k on window coverings thinking you will gain it back on resale, because you won't. When I sold my place downtown I had about $10k worth of wood blinds installed, and my listing realtor told me it wouldn't matter. The house was listed with "window coverings included", and while it looked really nice it didn't increase my home value. I would have been better off having Home Depot throw in faux wood for a fraction of the cost.
Watch this to see how easy it is
