Leonard's Draperies

What Leonard's Draperies does

Leonard's Draperies is a family-owned commercial manufacturer of custom window treatments, founded in 1953 by Leonard Marks and headquartered in Beltsville, Maryland, in the Washington DC-Baltimore corridor. The company designs, fabricates, distributes, and installs custom draperies, shades, blinds, cubicle curtains, shower curtains, and associated hardware for commercial clients. It serves five verticals: hospitality, commercial real estate, healthcare, senior living, and multi-family housing, with named enterprise accounts including Marriott and Inova Health.

The business operates a vertically integrated model in which centralized manufacturing feeds a national network of field installers, allowing project coordination across site measures, production, delivery, and installation. The operational footprint is anchored in a single Mid-Atlantic production hub, with sales and project delivery executed via enterprise field sales. Distribution is direct-to-commercial rather than through retail or third-party dealers. Customer acquisition is predominantly reputation-driven and word-of-mouth within commercial sectors, supported by a basic website and light social media presence on Facebook and Instagram.

Revenue is project-based and quote-driven, with no publicly disclosed pricing or contract structures. The company is privately held, bootstrapped, and has remained under family control since founding, with no institutional investors, funding rounds, or M&A activity disclosed. The firm reports 11-50 employees and no proprietary technology, AI capabilities, mobile app, or public API surface. No certifications, patents, partnerships, or alliances are disclosed in the available record.
