[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If I had to ballpark I would say $1000/window. That assumes some beautiful drapes in the living and dining rooms, inexpensive shades in the extra rooms, and something in between for guest rooms.

I think what often happens is people buy these huge new houses and they don’t budget for decorating and they want window treatments right away, so they meet with some vendor and get like, gray honeycomb shades in every window.

If you’re building the house, wire every window for automation. Even if you don’t end up automating every window, it’s cheap to add wiring before you close up and prohibitively expensive/messy later. Although the batteries are fine. [/quote]

OP again, thank you, those are good points, we would like to hard wire them.  We did (kind of) budget for window treatment, I'm on this forum a lot and have heard the horror stories of paying 20k for window treatments in one room (although I'm not sure that's possible), but now I am start looking at various options for different windows, I feel like I can't decide without knowing the cost, and a couple of vendors I called won't give me any straight answer - I mean I understand though, the cost will depend on the size of the window, fabric, etc.

What I really want to know is:  those who've done whole house window treatment, how much did it cost?  And what kinds of product did you select, with or without motorization?  [/quote]
