A Day in the Life:

Your morning starts at our Wichita shop, loading your vehicle with custom-tailored treatments and staging tools for the day. You head to your morning residential install, take down old coverings, mount brackets, install automated roller shades, and configure the motor remote. After walking the homeowner through the setup, you log job notes and move on to an afternoon commercial construction site, don your PPE gear and install 10 roller shades. You wrap up by 5:00 PM knowing you completed quality work for local clients.
