Replacement Windows and Window Treatments: What Should Come First?
Quick Answer
Yes. Sash & Shade provides custom window treatments and also offers replacement window and patio-door solutions, allowing Southern California homeowners to address both the window opening and its finishing treatment through one company. If you're doing both, it's generally worth finalizing the window or door first, since its exact dimensions determine what treatment options fit.
Why the Window or Door Usually Comes First
A window treatment is measured and built to fit a specific opening. If you're replacing the window or door itself — changing its size, frame depth, or mounting position — that work needs to happen before a treatment can be accurately measured and ordered.
If You're Only Updating the Treatment
If your existing windows or doors aren't changing, there's no need to wait — window treatments can be measured and installed on their own timeline.
Planning Both Together
Because Sash & Shade offers both windows/doors and window treatments, a project involving both can be planned together from the start — the same consultant can walk through the opening and the finishing treatment in one conversation, rather than coordinating between two separate companies.
