Our Story

The Blind Man

For over two decades, we've been a cornerstone of the Indianapolis community, providing top-tier window treatments. Unlike impersonal big-box stores, we're a family-owned business deeply rooted in these neighborhoods. I've been at the helm since 1995, pouring my heart and soul into building a company that truly cares. My son, Sam, practically grew up in the shop, inheriting the same passion for excellence. Together, we've cultivated a team that mirrors our commitment to customer satisfaction. We don't just sell window treatments; we build relationships. That's why we offer personalized service, guiding you every step of the way, from the initial spark of an idea to the final, flawless installation.
