Installing new window blinds seems straightforward enough for DIYers to tackle. However, hiring professional installation experts actually provides many advantages over doing it yourself. Here are four key reasons to let the pros handle this tricky task.

1. They Measure Windows and Customize Them Precisely

Blinds professionals have specialized tools and expertise to measure the exact dimensions of each unique window, angled corners, sills, and everything else. They custom-cut and craft blinds for an ideal fit within every window's frame. Imprecise DIY measuring often results in ill-fitting blinds that have light gap issues, don't block sunlight adequately, or don't raise or lower smoothly on their rail system.

2. They Install Blinds Securely and Perfectly Level

Specialty mounting brackets, laser levels, fasteners, and tools are used by professionals to ensure every blind is secured tightly and installed precisely level. This means blinds hang straight for proper operation without sagging or tilting issues over time. Incorrect do-it-yourself fastening leads to crooked hanging blinds that visually annoy and frequently snag. Loose blinds also pose safety hazards for kids and pets. According to the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission, it's estimated that every year, nine children aged five or younger die due to strangulation in window blinds, shades, draperies, and other window coverings with cords.

3. They Have Advanced Cutting Equipment

Blinds professionals utilize commercial-grade cutting systems and saws to make clean, straight, splinter-free cuts through slats, vanes, and fabrics. Their specialized equipment ensures precision trimming around windows and obstructions for custom measurements. Leave it to the experts to avoid jagged, uneven cuts or length mistakes.

4. They Handle Tricky Installs You Can't

Large, tall windows and uniquely shaped windows like half-moons, corners, or trapezoids pose challenges for DIYers. But, pros have specialized ladders, lifts, and tools to expertly tackle installations in hard-to-reach spots and on extremely tall or awkward windows. Let the experts handle the tricky situations seamlessly.

While hiring professional blind installers costs more upfront, it provides great peace of mind knowing your window treatments will operate smoothly, look professionally finished, and withstand everyday use without issues down the road.
