Before you hire

Most blinds and curtain businesses in New Zealand measure, make and install, so the quote you compare is for the whole job, not the fabric. Ask whether measuring and installation are included, what the lead time is from order to fitting, and what happens if a made-to-measure blind arrives the wrong size, because custom goods are hard to return. If you have young children, ask for cordless or wand-operated blinds: a mandatory safety standard for corded window coverings was announced in June 2026 and will apply to new products after a one-year transition.

Before you hire a blinds and curtain installer in Hamilton

Drawn from 613 customer reviews collected for this page. The first answer is what it costs.

What do made-to-measure blinds and curtains typically cost in New Zealand? expand_more

Basic made-to-measure roller blinds, including sunscreen and standard fabrics, run roughly $80 to $200 per window for supply and install. Blockout or dual roller blinds sit closer to $150 to $350 per window, and motorisation adds $150 to $300 or more per blind. Plantation shutters are the most expensive option, at $800 to $1,500 per window for PVC or composite, with timber pushing higher. A whole-house blind and curtain job for a typical three-bedroom home can land anywhere from $3,000 to over $15,000 depending on product mix, with one Hamilton reviewer confirming a $15,000 budget for a full house of curtains and blinds.

What protects me when I order custom blinds or curtains, and are corded blinds safe? expand_more

The Consumer Guarantees Act 1993 covers made-to-measure goods: your blinds must be of acceptable quality, fit the purpose you described, and match any sample or description agreed before manufacture. You cannot return a correctly made custom product because you changed your mind, so confirm measurements, fabric, colour and control side in writing before paying any deposit. Ask directly what the business does if a blind arrives the wrong size, because some installers dispute liability and require you to absorb a remake cost, as reviews here show happened to at least two buyers. On cord safety, the Minister of Commerce and Consumer Affairs announced on 30 June 2026 that a mandatory product safety standard for corded window coverings will be made under the Fair Trading Act 1986, accepting the Australian, Canadian, EU and US standards, with a one-year transition period after regulations are finalised before it applies to newly supplied products; this standard is not yet in force. Eight children have died from window-cord strangulation in New Zealand since 2008, so MBIE Product Safety guidance recommends cordless, wand-operated or motorised blinds in homes with young children, and cord cleats or tensioners on any existing corded blinds.

How do I choose between blinds, curtains and shutters for warmth and light? expand_more

Blockout roller blinds are the practical bedroom choice, cutting street light and retaining heat overnight, and reviewers noted a marked difference in sleep quality once fitted close to the wall with minimal side gaps. Lined curtains, especially with a pelmet or track fitted tight to the ceiling, do the most work for heat retention in an older NZ home, making them the most cost-effective insulation upgrade before considering shutters. Sunscreen rollers suit north or west-facing living areas where you want glare reduction without losing the view, while plantation shutters suit homeowners who want a long-lasting hard surface that handles condensation better than fabric and needs no replacement over the life of the house.

What are the warning signs of a blinds or curtain company you should not use? expand_more
  • A large deposit taken upfront with no clear written lead time, followed by weeks of silence and no proactive updates when delays occur.
  • Blinds or curtains arriving the wrong size or wrong fabric, with the business blaming the customer rather than offering a prompt remake.
  • Post-sale warranty claims ignored once the final payment has been received, including video evidence of faults being dismissed without a site visit.
  • A warranty process that requires an elderly or mobility-limited customer to remove and transport installed blinds to a factory at their own cost.
  • Quotes delivered very slowly or not at all after an in-home measure, wasting weeks of your lead time.
  • Pressure on the day of the consultation to commit before you have compared quotes or seen samples in your own home's light.
What should you ask before ordering blinds or curtains? expand_more
  • Does the quoted price include measuring, supply and installation, or are any of those charged separately?
  • What is the lead time from deposit to installation, and what happens if manufacture or delivery runs late?
  • If a blind or curtain arrives the wrong size or colour, do you remake it at no cost, or does liability depend on who took the measurements?
  • What warranty covers the operating mechanism, the fabric and the installation hardware, and how long does each component carry?
  • Are cordless, wand-operated or motorised options available, particularly if young children live in or visit the home?
  • Can I take full-length fabric samples home to check colour and weight in my own light before I commit to an order?
