Can anyone recommend a seamstress or someone who will make custom window treatments. I don't want to go through the commercial places like janovic because the translation is just too hard with the staff (thy can only do very simple). Thanks
I needed custom window treatments for several windows for several reasons including the size of the windows and also because the sun comes in so strongly, I needed several layers of window treatments on each window including a light filtering blinds, a black out shade behind the light filtering components and a decorative valence/trim on the upper and side borders of each window (sorry I don't know the technical terms). I spent several months on this project. Went all over Manhattan, but ended up using a small company in Long Island called Long Island Window Treatments in Syosset. I worked directly with the owner Joe and his installer. They were very helpful, made several trips to my apartment and also do many projects in Manhattan. What I found is that if you require detailed customer service, I did better in the suburbs than here, even at the D&D building. If your request is simplier than mine, I would try the D&D building. I don't remember which ones I went to, but there are some window treatment places there.
Thank you
Hello,
I would recommend Manhattan Shade and Glass. I'm an interior designer in nyc and I use them all the time. They are very knowledgeable and have great customer service. Ask for Merrill.

Why not cover your windows permanently with bricks?
