Hire A Trusted Blinds, Curtains & Drapes Expert Near You

Blinds and curtains play many roles in your home. They offer privacy, block light, and can help keep your home at a comfortable temperature. They can also complement your home decor, as they come in a range of styles and colours to suit your tastes.

Curtains, for example, come in a variety of fabrics, colours and finishes. They can often be paired with thermal or blackout backing to help shade the light out and keep your home warm in winter and cool in summer. Voiles or sheers can be installed alongside drapes to give privacy and offer UV protection during the day, while still letting the light in.

Like curtains, blinds come in a variety of styles, like Venetian, vertical, Verishade, Roman, and Roller. They’re made in a variety of materials to help lift the aesthetics of the room they’re in. Blinds can provide a simple, clean style to any room, while still providing similar functionality to curtains; they keep the light out and help stabilise the temperature in your home.

Whether you’ve got new curtains or blinds to install, or need them repaired or cleaned, it’s a great idea to get a professional to help. The great news is that you can quickly and easily find a local expert to help you out on the Ezy Peazy platform. These are one of the common household tasks covered under our wider handyman services, helping you fix everyday issues efficiently.

Every type of curtain or blind comes with its own installation challenges. For curtains, you need to know where to install the rail relative to the window frame and which type of curtain rail is best for the curtain type. 

For example, you can choose between wooden, steel and aluminium curtain rails while also deciding if you want a single or double track. Curtain rails must be installed securely to the wall to hold the weight of the curtains that will hang from them.

With blinds, you’ll need to install the blind rail either inside or outside the window frame, depending on the blind's style and size and its support mechanism. And for large windows, you’ll likely need additional help lifting the blind into place and holding it in position during installation.

For peace of mind and a better-looking finish, it’s worth getting a professional handyman to help install your new curtains or blinds. Whether you’ve bought them off the shelf or had them custom-made, you can find a local curtain or blind installer on Ezy Peazy. You can rest assured they’ll have the right tools and expertise to install them, so they look great and function as expected.

Several blind companies across New Zealand, like Venluree, Krest, Harrisons, and Luxaflex, do blinds and curtain installations. They can come in and do a very professional job, but you will end up spending more time & money!

However, did you know that you can easily measure up your windows and go to a store like Bunnings, Mitre10, or Spotlight and buy your own curtains or blinds for a fraction of the cost – provided your windows are a standard size?

Once you’ve bought your new blinds or curtains, all you need is a reliable handyman from Ezy Peazy to come in and do the installation for you. When finished, you won’t be able to tell the difference between their job and one done by a high-end curtain and blind company.

Some taskers also have expertise in making custom curtains and blinds. They will come, take measurements of your windows & then create beautiful products for your windows. They can even take care of altering ready-made curtains or blinds.

If your blinds have fallen out, the mechanism has jammed, or the blind openers aren’t working, don’t resort to throwing them away and replacing them with brand new blinds. You may find it is more cost-effective to get an expert to take a look and get it repaired.

Many of us have experienced the frustration of trying to clean our Venetian blinds or trying to work out if our curtains can fit into our home washing machine. Sometimes, we might even debate if cleaning them at home is the right thing to do.

Cleaning the blinds or curtains yourself may be an option but it is difficult & complex. You’ll need to consider the level of cleaning they need & then decide on which cleaning products to use to give them a proper clean without causing any damage. For example, if your curtains have mould growing on them, they may need a special treatment to remove the mould and protect your curtains from further growth.

If you don’t have the time or energy to clean your blinds or curtains, or they need professional-level cleaning, calling an expert is a perfect solution. The good news is that you can find one on Ezy Peazy!
