What to tell us
A sentence is enough to open the request. The details below are what we actually use to plan the drive and the truck. Put them in the form, in a text to 818-392-8584, or say them on the phone. You do not need all three channels.
What broke
Name the part if you can. The calls we schedule most often are a louver, a tilt rod, a hinge, a magnet, a shade remote, or a Somfy motor. If you are not sure of the name, say what the window used to do and what it does now. One room or the whole house both start the same way.
A clear photo of the failed part
Text a photo to 818-392-8584, or describe it in the form and send the picture when we reply. A useful photo is:
- Close enough to see the break, the loose staple, or the motor label.
- Wide enough to show the panel, the shade, or the remote in your hand.
- Taken in daylight. A dark flash hides the stain and the crack.
- Of the failed part, not only a shot of the whole room.
How the estimate works
The estimate is free. We do not publish flat prices, because two windows with the same symptom can still be different jobs. Nothing on this page is a rate card.
- You reach us. Call or text 818-392-8584, or send the form on this page. We text back to schedule. Live help is daily 10am–7pm. A text after hours still gets a reply so we can set a time when we are back.
- We look at the window on site. The number is for the opening in front of us. A dropped louver and a heavy door-wall hinge are not the same job, which is why there is no flat published price. The office is not a place to drop a panel off for a quote.
- Repair comes before replacement. Repair is usually less than full replacement. About 90% of plantation shutter jobs finish at the house. If a part has to be matched or ordered, we say so before we leave and come back when it is in.
- Nothing starts until you agree. Looking at the window is the estimate. We do not take the panel apart, order a part, or start the repair until you want that work. If the wood or the shade is truly finished, we say that on the visit.
What we repair
Use the form for any of these. The links are the longer repair pages, so this estimate page can stay about how the visit is booked. We start with repair. New product is only mentioned when the opening cannot be saved.
Shutter repair
Tell us if a tilt rod is loose, a louver split, or a hinge pulled out of the stile. The estimate is for that repair at the window, not a new set for the room.
Plantation shutter repair
Painted or stained plantation panels that still belong in the opening. On the visit we look at staples, louvers, tilt rods, hinges, magnets, and side pins, and we say which of those failed.
Blind and shade repair
A roller that will not retract, a wand that spins, or a magnet that let go of the shade. Same free estimate and the same on-site look as a shutter.
Motorized shade repair
A Somfy motor that hums, a remote that lights up and does nothing, or a shade that stops short of the sill. We diagnose the shade before anyone talks about replacing the fabric.
Somfy is the motor we are asked to look at most often. A short overview of that system, written as repair work rather than a showroom list, is on Somfy and systems we repair.
Where we come for the estimate
The estimate happens at your window. We cover the San Fernando Valley and greater Los Angeles, listed the same way as the rest of this site: central Valley first, then the wider Valley, then greater Los Angeles. If your city is nearby and not named, call or text 818-392-8584 and we will say whether the drive is reasonable.
Central Valley
Wider Valley
The office mailbox is 14120 Ventura Blvd C502, Sherman Oaks, CA 91423. That is mail and an office unit in Sherman Oaks. There is no showroom and nothing to drop off. Do not bring a panel or a shade to Ventura Boulevard for the estimate. We come to the house.
Questions about the estimate
Do you need my street address before you can estimate?
No. The city and a short description are enough to start. We ask for the street address when we text to schedule the look. The estimate itself is made at the window, after we see the opening, not from the form alone.
Why is there no price list on this page?
Jobs differ. A single split louver, a tilt rod that needs more than new staples, hinges on a heavy door-wall panel, a paint or stain that has to match, and the drive from Sherman Oaks are not the same visit. We do not publish a rate card. The free estimate is for your window.
Can you lock a number from a photo without coming out?
A clear photo tells us whether the failure looks like a one-visit repair and what to bring on the truck. It does not lock a price. We still look at the window on site before we give the estimate.
What if I do not know the brand or the part name?
You do not need a brand name to request an estimate. Say what stopped working: a louver that dropped, a hinge that pulled out, a shade that will not roll, or a remote that lights up and does nothing. If it is motorized, a photo of the remote or the motor head is enough. We repair Somfy and other motors on site.
More on cost and visits
The questions above are only about how an estimate starts. The repair FAQ goes further on visits, hours, and the service area.
