Minneapolis' Custom Window Blinds , Shades & Shutters
No gimmick sales. No standard solutions. Just custom-measured window treatments — installed by a Hunter Douglas Master Installer — backed by a limited lifetime warranty.
Window Treatments Shouldn't Be This Hard
Most homeowners have been through this before. You pick something, it doesn't fit right, the installer doesn't show up, and two years later it's broken. There's a better way.
The "Sale" That Never Ends
Competitor prices fluctuate wildly based on manufactured urgency. You're never sure if you're getting a fair price or being played. We offer fair, consistent pricing — no "40% off" tactics.
Windows That Don't Fit Standard Sizing
There are no standard windows. Off-the-shelf treatments never fit perfectly — gaps at the edges, uneven drops, light leaks. Every product we sell is custom measured and made for your exact windows.
No One to Call When It Breaks
Most retailers disappear after the sale. When your blinds fail — and eventually they do — you're on your own. We repair nearly everything we sell, and we've been doing it for over a century.
A Family Business That Has Outlasted Everyone Else
Minneapolis Window Shade Company was founded in 1914. We've been through the Great Depression, multiple recessions, and every design trend you can imagine. We're still here because we do things right.
Owner Mark Trump is a certified Hunter Douglas Master Installer with over 20 years of hands-on experience. When you book a consultation, Mark or a member of his trained team handles your project — no subcontractors, no strangers.

"My parents bought their blinds here in the 1980s. When I bought my own home in St. Louis Park, I didn't even shop around. Some things don't need to be reinvented."

Window Treatment Questions, Honestly Answered
What makes Minneapolis Window Shade different from a big-box store or national chain?
Big-box stores sell off-the-shelf treatments in standard sizes that rarely fit real windows precisely. We sell only custom window treatments — measured by us, made to your exact window dimensions. You also get a certified installer, access to the exclusive Hunter Douglas Alustra Collection, and our ongoing repair service. Big-box stores don't do any of that.
How much do custom window blinds cost in Minneapolis?
Pricing varies significantly based on product type, fabric, size, and number of windows. We don't run artificial "sales" — our pricing is fair and consistent. The best way to get an accurate number is to schedule a free in-home consultation, where we can measure your windows and show you specific options in your price range.
Do you repair window blinds and shades that weren't purchased from you?
In many cases, yes. We're specialists in Hunter Douglas repair, but we also service many other brands. Call us at (612) 922-4100 and describe what you have — we'll let you know if we can fix it and give you an honest assessment of whether repair or replacement makes more sense.
What is the Hunter Douglas Alustra Collection and where can I see it?
The Alustra Collection is Hunter Douglas's exclusive line of elevated window fashions — curated textures, unique color palettes, and premium fabrics not available through standard retailers. You can see it in our St. Louis Park showroom (3550 Dakota Ave S), or we can bring samples to your home during a consultation.
How does motorized window treatment installation work?
We install Hunter Douglas PowerView motorization — control your treatments via app, voice assistant, or automated schedule. Mark personally handles motorized installations due to their complexity. We walk you through setup before we leave so you're confident using the system.
What areas do you serve near Minneapolis?
We serve South and Southwest Minneapolis, Edina, St. Louis Park, Minnetonka, Hopkins, Eden Prairie, Plymouth, Maple Grove, Wayzata, Orono, Delano, Hutchinson, Buffalo, and St. Michael — plus all of Hennepin, Wright, McLeod, and Carver Counties. If you're nearby and unsure, give us a call at (612) 922-4100.
