You have your blinds. Maybe you bought them online. Maybe you picked them up from a big box store. Maybe you inherited them with your new home. Now they need to go up.
Here is what happens next: You pull out the drill. You measure twice. You mark the wall. You drill. The bracket is slightly off. You adjust. Now there is an extra hole. The blind goes up but it is not level. The cord catches on something. Three hours later, it is done — but it does not look right.
Professional installation changes everything.
Ekom Blinds provides professional blind installation services across Texas, USA. We measure every window with precision, mount brackets securely to appropriate surfaces, ensure perfect level alignment, and test every blind for smooth operation. We use our own installation team — no subcontractors. And we stand behind every installation with a workmanship guarantee.
If you already have blinds, we install them. If you need blinds too, we provide custom products with full-service installation. Either way, your blinds go up right the first time.
Why Professional Blind Installation Matters
Proper installation determines how your blinds look, operate, and last. Here is what you get with professional installation versus DIY.
Perfect fit. Professional installers know how to measure for different mounting types — inside mount, outside mount, face mount. We account for window depth, obstructions, and operating clearances that DIY guides miss.
Level and square. Even a slight tilt is visible on window coverings. We use professional-grade levels and ensure every blind sits perfectly horizontal or vertical.
Secure mounting. Different surfaces require different mounting approaches. Drywall needs anchors. Wood needs screws at the right depth. Brick and concrete need masonry bits and anchors. We match the hardware to the surface.
No damage. DIY installations often result in misplaced holes, cracked drywall, or damaged window frames. Professional installers get it right the first time — no extra holes, no repairs needed.
Smooth operation. Blinds that are not perfectly aligned bind, stick, or operate roughly. We test every blind after installation and adjust until operation is smooth.
Safety. Cordless and motorized installations require specific mounting to ensure safety. We follow all safety standards for cord management and motorized systems.
Warranty. DIY installations have no warranty. Our installations come with a workmanship guarantee. If anything shifts or needs adjustment, we come back.

DIY vs Professional Installation — The Real Cost Comparison
Many homeowners consider DIY installation to save money. Here is the real cost comparison.
DIY Installation Costs:
- Drill and bits: $50 to $150 (if you do not already own)
- Level and measuring tools: $20 to $50
- Appropriate anchors and hardware: $10 to $30
- Your time: 2 to 4 hours for a typical home
- Risk of mistakes: Misplaced holes, uneven blinds, damaged walls
- Warranty: None
Professional Installation Costs:
- $50 to $75 per blind
- No tool purchases needed
- No time investment beyond being home for appointment
- No risk — we fix any issues
- Workmanship warranty included
For a typical home with 8 blinds:
- DIY: $100 to $250 in tools and hardware + 8 to 12 hours of your time + risk
- Professional: $400 to $600 with zero time investment, zero risk, and warranty
Beyond the math, professional installation ensures your blinds operate correctly for years. A poorly installed blind will fail earlier, look worse, and potentially damage your window frame or wall.

No Subcontractors — Our Team Does the Work
Many blind installation services subcontract installations to third-party contractors. You never know who will show up. Quality varies. Accountability is unclear.
Ekom Blinds uses our own installation team. The same people who measure your windows install your blinds. They are trained, experienced, and accountable to us. When you call with questions, you talk to people who know your installation.
We stand behind every installation with our workmanship guarantee. If something is wrong, we fix it. No subcontractor finger-pointing. No runaround.
Installation for Blinds You Already Own
You do not need to buy blinds from us to use our installation services.

- We reserve the right to decline installation if blinds are damaged or unsuitable

What Texas, USA Customers Ask Before Booking Installation
Do I need to be home for installation?
Yes. Someone needs to be present to provide access and approve placement. Installations typically take 2 to 4 hours for a standard home.
Will installation damage my walls?
Proper installation requires drilling small holes for mounting brackets. We use appropriate anchors and techniques to minimize wall impact. We do not patch or paint holes if blinds are later removed, but we can patch minor holes upon request.
Can you install blinds on concrete or brick?
Yes. We have appropriate masonry bits and anchors for concrete, brick, and stucco installations.
How far in advance do I need to book installation?
We typically schedule installation within 1 to 2 weeks of consultation. Custom blind manufacturing adds 7 to 14 days before installation.
Do you install motorized blinds?
Yes. We install and program all major motorized blind systems. We can also coordinate with electricians for hardwired installations.
One Concern Texas, USA Customers Usually Have
The most common concern we hear is whether professional installation is worth the cost for a simple blind installation.
A simple blind on a standard window with drywall mounting is straightforward. But most homes are not that simple. Windows are out of square. Walls are not plumb. Mounting surfaces are inconsistent. Handles and hardware create clearance issues.
Professional installers have seen every variation. We know how to handle out-of-square windows. We know how to mount when studs are not where you need them. We know how to work around obstructions.
The cost of professional installation is small compared to the frustration of a DIY installation that goes wrong — or the cost of repairing damage from mistakes.
