We come to you and design your window treatments on the spot!
Your blinds are stuck halfway down. Or maybe the cord snapped on your favorite shade. Perhaps one slat broke and now the whole thing looks terrible. Whatever happened, you're wondering: should I repair these blinds or just replace them?
Here's the honest answer from someone who's been in the window treatment business in Fort Wayne for years—most of the time, repair makes way more sense than replacement. We offer blind repair and shade repair across Fort Wayne and Allen County, and we can usually get your window coverings working like new for a fraction of replacement cost.
Blinds break. It's frustrating, but it happens to everyone. The good news? Most blind repairs are straightforward when you know what you're doing. Here are the problems we fix most often:
Broken Cords & Strings - This is the number one blind repair in Fort Wayne homes. The lift cord snaps, the tilt mechanism stops working, or the string just wears out. We replace cords on wood blinds, faux wood blinds, vinyl blinds, and mini blinds. Usually takes less than an hour.
Damaged Slats - One broken slat can ruin the look of your entire blind. Good news: we can replace individual slats on most blinds without replacing the whole thing. We stock common colors and can usually match your existing blinds perfectly.
Stuck or Jammed Blinds - Your blind won't go up, won't come down, or gets stuck at weird angles. This blind repair often involves the internal mechanism—the pawl, the cord lock, or the clutch. We've seen every version of this problem and can usually fix it same-day.
Broken Tilt Mechanisms - The slats won't open or close properly. The wand broke off. The tilter just spins without doing anything. These blind repairs involve the tilt mechanism, and we carry parts for most common brands.
Off-Track Vertical Blinds - Vertical blind repair is its own specialty. Vanes that won't slide, broken carriers, wonky tracks—we fix vertical blinds when needed.
Shades are different from blinds, and shade repair requires different skills. We work on all types:
Roller Shade Repair - Your shade won't stay up, won't roll down smoothly, or the spring is shot. We repair roller shade mechanisms and can replace the entire roller if needed while keeping your existing fabric.
Cellular Shade Repair - Honeycomb shades are great until the cords break or the cells collapse. Cellular shade repair is tricky because of all those internal strings, but we've handled plenty in Fort Wayne homes. We can restring honeycomb shades, replace cord locks, and fix sagging cells.
Roman Shade Repair - Broken lift cords, damaged rings, torn fabric—roman shade repair can range from simple to complex. We'll assess what's fixable and give you honest advice.
Pleated Shade Repair - Similar to cellular shades but with different mechanisms. We repair pleated shade lift systems and replace worn parts.
Solar Shade & Screen Repair - Rips, tears, or mechanism problems. We can often repair solar shades or rescreen damaged screen shades.
Not every blind repair makes financial sense. Here's what we've learned after years in the Fort Wayne window treatment business:
Definitely repair if: Your blinds are less than 10 years old, they're custom or high-quality, it's a simple fix like a broken cord or single slat, or you love the color and can't find it anymore.
Probably repair if: The blinds still look good but have a mechanical issue, you've got a lot of the same blinds and want them to match, or the product itself is expensive to replace (like wood shutters or custom cellular shades).
Consider replacement if: The blinds are cheap builder-grade and falling apart in multiple ways, they're severely outdated, or the repair won't give you much more life out of them.
We'll always be straight with you. Sometimes we look at a blind and say, "You know what? These aren't worth repairing. Let's talk about what new ones would look like." We'd rather be honest than have you spend money on a repair that won't last.
We know blinds and shades. After installing thousands of window treatments in Fort Wayne homes, we understand how they work, why they break, and when they're worth fixing versus replacing.
Here's what we bring to every blind repair and shade repair job:
We stock parts for common repairs. We're not waiting weeks for every little component. We've got lift cords, slats, wands, cord locks, and tilt mechanisms for most common blinds right here in Fort Wayne.
We handle repairs quickly. You don't want to live with broken blinds for weeks. We try to get most blind repairs done within a few days of your call.
We give honest assessments. If your blinds aren't worth fixing, we'll tell you. If repair makes more sense than replacement, we'll explain why. Our job is helping you make the best decision for your situation.
Shade repair is honestly more complicated than blind repair. Cellular shades have miles of internal cords. Roller shades have spring mechanisms that require specific tools. Roman shades have lift systems that need proper tension.
We've got the training, tools, and parts to do shade repair correctly. When we restring a cellular shade, it operates smoothly. When we fix a roller shade mechanism, the spring tension is right.
Here's what surprises most Fort Wayne homeowners: shade repair often makes more financial sense than blind repair because quality shades cost more to replace. Sometimes a repair can extend the life of your shades for years.
We work with Graber products and can handle most Graber blind repair and shade repair needs. Whether it's Graber wood blinds, faux wood blinds, cellular shades, or roller shades, we know these products and keep common Graber parts in stock.
We repair blinds and shades throughout Fort Wayne—from historic homes downtown to new construction in Aboite, from apartments near IPFW to houses in Waynedale. We also serve Allen County communities like Grabill, Leo, New Haven, and Woodburn, plus surrounding areas including Auburn, Kendallville, Columbia City, and Bluffton.
We come to you. Most blind repairs happen right in your home—we bring our tools, parts, and expertise to your Fort Wayne address. For more complex shade repairs, we might need to take the shade back to our shop, but we'll have it back to you quickly.
Here's how it works when you contact us for blind repair or shade repair:
You describe the problem—we can usually tell right away if it's fixable. We schedule a time to look at your blinds in person. Most Fort Wayne appointments happen within 2-3 days. We assess the damage and give you an exact repair quote. No surprises, no hidden fees. You decide if repair makes sense or if replacement is the better option. We handle the repair—either on-site or at our shop, depending on complexity.
Simple blind repairs like cord replacement can be done during our visit. More involved shade repairs might take a few days if we need to work in our shop.
We install new blinds and shades too, so we can help you decide what makes sense. Sometimes repair is the obvious answer—especially if it's a simple fix on quality products. Other times, replacement gives you a chance to upgrade to something better—like going from basic plastic blinds to beautiful wood blinds, or switching to energy-efficient cellular shades.
Our job is giving you good information so you can make the right choice for your Fort Wayne home and budget. If new blinds or shades make more sense, we'll walk you through your options.
How long does blind repair take? Simple repairs like cord replacement happen same-visit, usually 30-60 minutes per blind. Complex shade repair might take a few days if we need to work in our shop.
Do you repair all brands? We repair most major blind and shade brands, including Graber products. Even if we didn't originally install your blinds, we can usually assess whether they're fixable.
What if parts aren't available? For discontinued blinds, we sometimes fabricate parts or find creative solutions. If parts truly don't exist, we'll discuss replacement options that fit your needs and budget.
Is there a warranty on repairs? Yes. Our blind repair and shade repair work comes with a service warranty. We stand behind what we do.
Don't live with blinds stuck at half-mast or shades that won't roll up. Let's take a look and see what's fixable. Call us or send a message with a photo of the problem—we can usually tell you right away whether repair makes sense for your Fort Wayne blinds or shades.
Sometimes repair is the smart move. Sometimes replacement gives you an opportunity to upgrade to something you'll love even more. Either way, we'll help you figure out the best solution for your home.
