Service Area
Newcastle's hillside lots look west over Lake Washington and the Seattle skyline, which is spectacular right up until about four o'clock.
Local Expertise
A west-facing hillside gives you the best view in the neighborhood and the strongest afternoon sun in the house, usually through the same window. The aim in most Newcastle homes is to take the edge off the glare and the heat without trading away the skyline, which means fabric choice matters more here than almost anywhere else we work.
Dual shades solve it more often than anything else, because a single window frequently needs to do two different jobs six hours apart: open and clear at midday, private and covered by evening.
Neighborhoods we serve: Coal Creek, China Creek, Hazelwood, Lake Boren, and the Highlands.
Dual shades and light-filtering rollers carry most of the load in Newcastle, cutting the western glare while leaving the view intact. Motorized and Matter-compatible smart shades are a natural fit on the tall stairwell and great-room glass these hillside homes tend to have, and we also install cellular shades for insulation, zebra shades for adjustable light control, and roman shades, woven woods, and custom drapery for rooms that want a warmer finish.
Sheer and blackout in one headrail, so a west-facing window can be open at midday and covered by evening.
Takes the edge off the western glare and heat without trading away the skyline.
Handles tall stairwell and great-room windows, and can close on a schedule as the sun drops.
Across the Eastside the process is the same regardless of home style: we measure every window ourselves, your shades are custom-made to those exact measurements, and our own crew handles the install, including motor setup and smart-home pairing. No subcontractors, one team the whole way, backed by a warranty of up to 5 years depending on your package.
