Install Blinds & Window Treatments
Expert Blinds, Shades & Curtain Rod Installation in Boston
We Frame Your View with Precision and Style
You have picked out the perfect window treatments to finish your room. Whether they are sleek roller shades for your Seaport condo, heavy velvet drapes for your drafty Newton Victorian, or wooden blinds for your Woburn home, they all share one requirement: Precision Installation.
One wrong measurement or a crooked bracket can ruin the entire look. Plus, drilling into the "header" above a window is notoriously difficult due to hidden metal lintels or crumbling plaster.
Don't turn your walls into Swiss cheese.
Leave the measuring tape and hammer to the Handy Bross experts. We are the premier window treatment installation team serving the entire Greater Boston area. From Framingham to Allston, we bring the laser levels, heavy-duty anchors, and masonry drills needed to install your blinds and rods perfectly straight and rock-solid.
We Install All Types of Window Treatments
Window fashion comes in many forms. We handle every style with technical expertise.
1. Blinds & Shades (Venetian, Roller, Cellular, Roman)
Installing blinds requires understanding "Inside Mount" vs. "Outside Mount."
-
The Perfect Fit: We ensure your inside-mount blinds in Cambridge or Somerville fit snugly within the frame without jamming.
-
Leveling: A crooked blind is an eyesore. We use professional levels to ensure the headrail is perfectly horizontal, even if your old window frame has settled and slanted over time.
2. Curtain Rods & Drapes
Heavy curtains are essential for New England winters, but they put massive strain on the wall.
-
Anchor Security: In Roslindale and Jamaica Plain, plaster walls can't hold heavy rods with standard nails. We use toggle bolts or locate studs to ensure the rod never sags or rips out of the wall.
-
Bay Windows: We specialize in the complex geometry of bay window rods found in Dorchester and South Boston homes, ensuring the connectors meet perfectly at the angles.
3. Plantation Shutters & Vertical Blinds
-
Precise Alignment: Shutters leave zero room for error. We shim and adjust the frames so the louvers open and close smoothly in your Waltham or Hyde Park home.
4. Smart & Motorized Blinds
Modern homes in Back Bay are switching to automation.
-
Tech Installation: We mount the motorized units and ensure the power source (battery pack or plug) is accessible and discreet. We can help guide you on basic remote setup.
The Local Advantage: Mastering Boston's Windows
Installing blinds in Massachusetts is not like installing them in a new suburban build.
-
Metal Lintels (Allston & Brighton): In many apartment buildings, the area directly above the window is reinforced with steel or concrete. A DIY drill bit will burn out instantly. We bring rotary hammers and cobalt bits to drill through these "impenetrable" headers effortlessly.
-
Old Plaster (Beacon Hill & North End): Drilling into horsehair plaster often causes it to crack and crumble. We use tape-and-drill techniques and specialized anchors that grip behind the lath, preserving your historic walls.
-
Uneven Frames (Charlestown & East Boston): When the window frame isn't square, the blinds can look crooked. We use shims and careful positioning to visually correct the unevenness of the architecture.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Q: Do you measure the windows for me before I buy?
A: Our primary service is Installation of products you have already purchased. However, if you are unsure, we can provide a "Consultation & Measure" visit for a fee to help you order the right sizes.
Q: Can you install into metal or concrete above the window?
A: Yes! This is a very common problem in Boston apartments. We carry heavy-duty rotary hammers and specific drill bits designed to penetrate the steel lintels or concrete headers found above windows.
Q: Which specific areas do you serve?
A: We cover the entire Greater Boston area. Our service map includes Boston, Newton, Woburn, Waltham, Framingham, Cambridge, Somerville, South End, Beacon Hill, Back Bay, North End, East Boston, South Boston, Dorchester, Roxbury, Mattapan, Jamaica Plain, Hyde Park, Roslindale, and Allston.
Q: Can you remove my old blinds?
A: Yes. We can take down your old window treatments. If you need us to dispose of them off-site, we can arrange that for an additional disposal fee; otherwise, we will bundle them neatly for your trash day.
Q: Do you cut blinds to size?
A: No, we do not cut blinds on-site. We strictly install custom-ordered or standard-sized blinds. Please ensure your blinds are the correct width for your window before we arrive.
