Call a window covering company. They measure, Order and install. What cheap ass houses do you live in where you put up crap coverings? Get custom coverings.

Simmer down, money bags. People aren't always flush with cash after buying a house. Especially if they thought their windows would be covered.

Has anyone used Costco's window treatment/blind services?

We installed wooden blinds and love them.

that should be *blinds*.

I do know of a woman who bought a house and when the owner moved, he took the fridge with him. She had to work with realtor to locate and find him. He ended up just giving her money towards a new one.

Convey, lol.

If you can't get the blinds back, go online. Blinds Select or whatever. They have videos for how to measure accurately, or hire a handyman to do this part. It'll end up being WAY cheaper

Next Day Blinds is expensive if you have standard window sizes. Measure the windows and go to Home Depot or Loews.

Absolutely, check your contract. It isn't so black and white with window treatments, I think, although I would consider some to be fixtures, such as plantation shutters. Here is an article about it too. I'd check in with your realtor about the law and customs where you are.

Douchey move on the previous owner's part.

We just bought a house, and they took the blinds in every room. Some windows are huge. I don't have a clue as to go about measuring, installing, etc. Is there a service? Any assistance?
