It’s time for fresh window treatments. You know you shouldn’t estimate your window’s dimensions, so you grab your tape measure. Or, better yet, what if you let the specialists do it? There are multiple reasons why the pros should measure your windows in Phoenix. So put down the measuring tape and pick up your phone to get accurate measurements and the perfect window treatments.
Why Do I Need To Measure Windows In My Phoenix Home?
Whenever you’re installing window treatments, you have to measure the window! While some stores attempt to sell common sizes, there simply is no “standard” window. If you choose a pre-made treatment, it won’t fit your window quite how it should. Rather, you need to measure your window and purchase a custom solution.
Customized window treatments consistently work and look better than a product that’s out of a box. For one, a one-of-a-kind treatment won’t hang past the edges of your window or be too small to block the view inside or light. It will fit within your window casement perfectly. You also get to choose how your treatment works, whether adding motorization to a window shade or asking for a hidden tilt rod on interior shutters. You have many choices for opacity, hardware, color and more.
When Do I Need To Get My Windows Measured By The Experts?
It’s always a good idea to get your windows expertly measured. For one, if the pros measure your windows, they’ll also put up the window treatments. That’s one less project on your to-do list. As the professionals who deal with window treatments every day, they know the ideal way to measure windows. They’ll do the job accurately and quickly.
Measuring windows for custom window treatments is necessary. After all, they aren’t truly custom if they don’t fit your window precisely. If you own a specialty-shaped window like a rounded window, don’t attempt DIY measuring. Your installer will want to take careful measurements to determine the angle and shape when ordering your treatments.
Should I Measure My Windows Myself?
You can certainly measure your windows yourself. You’ll be required to if you plan to install your window treatments yourself. Estimating the approximate size of your windows can also help with requesting professional estimates when you’re wanting one.
How Do You Measure Windows?

- Use an aluminum measuring tape.
- Always measure to the nearest 1/8-inch.

Won’t Hiring The Pros Cost A Lot Of Money?
Naturally, purchasing window treatments from a pro who will measure windows themselves costs something. But this upfront expense is worth it.
