Custom Honeycomb Shades in Dyker Heights, Brooklyn

Pricing depends on window size, fabric line, opacity, operation style (cordless, top-down/bottom-up, or motorized), and the number of windows in the project. Top-down/bottom-up and motorization each add to a baseline cellular shade. Because every Dyker Heights home has different window sizes and trim conditions, we provide a firm written quote at your free in-home consultation rather than rough numbers over the phone — that way the price you see is the price you pay.

Yes. Every residential cellular shade we install is either cordless or motorized, fully meeting the Window Covering Manufacturers Association's 2022 federal safety standard. There are no accessible operating cords on the front of the shade, no looped beaded chains within reach of children or pets, and no exposed lift cords. For larger or heavier shades that require a continuous loop system, we install a wall-anchored tension device that locks the loop flat against the wall per the regulation.

Usually yes. Hunter Douglas, Graber, and Norman each offer hundreds of fabric colors, opacities, and weaves — from crisp whites to warm linens to deep grays and blacks. We bring a full sample library to your in-home consultation so you can hold the actual fabric against existing paint, trim, drapery, upholstery, and flooring before you commit. If you want to layer cellulars behind drapery or coordinate with shutters, we can plan that during the same visit.

Most full-home installations in Dyker Heights take 2–4 hours start to finish, depending on the number of windows and whether any are bay, bow, or specialty-shape openings. A single bedroom typically takes 30–45 minutes including unboxing, mounting brackets into solid material, leveling, and testing operation. Motorized installs add some time for pairing and scene setup. We always confirm timing during scheduling so you know what to plan for.

Yes. We repair broken lift cords, failed cordless tension mechanisms, separated cells, sticking top rails, and motorization issues on most major brands — including older Hunter Douglas Duette and Applause models, vintage Graber CrystalPleat shades, and Norman cellulars. If the mechanism is no longer manufactured or the repair isn't economical, we'll tell you upfront and discuss whether replacement makes more sense than continuing to service an older product.

The U.S. Department of Energy estimates cellular shades can reduce unwanted solar heat gain by up to 60% in summer and reduce conductive heat loss through windows by up to 40% in winter. For a typical Dyker Heights home with 10–14 windows, that often translates to a meaningful reduction in monthly heating and cooling costs during peak January cold snaps and August heat waves. Triple-cell Duette Architella delivers the strongest energy performance of any cellular product we stock.
