Long Island Custom Blinds

What Long Island Custom Blinds does

Long Island Custom Blinds is a family-owned custom window treatment company founded in 2013 and headquartered in Merrick, New York, with a second operational base in Greenvale. The company serves residential homeowners across Nassau County, Suffolk County, and parts of Queens, with secondary outreach to commercial properties (offices, medical practices, storefronts) and rental property investors. Its service model is shop-at-home: customers receive a free in-home consultation where samples, fabric swatches, and professional measurement (to the nearest eighth of an inch) are delivered to the home, followed by factory-direct ordering and installation performed by the company's own in-house team rather than subcontractors.

The product portfolio spans custom blinds (wood, faux wood, aluminum), plantation shutters from Norman Shutters, motorized blinds and shades (Hunter Douglas PowerView, Somfy, QMotion) with smart home integration to Alexa, Google Home, Apple HomeKit, Lutron, and Control4, roller shades, Roman shades, cellular honeycomb shades, drapery (including motorized drapery tracks), and cornices. The company operates as an authorized dealer for Hunter Douglas, Norman Shutters, Graber, Comfortex, Alta Window Fashions, Horizons Window Fashions, ColorLux, and Lafayette, and holds licensing and insurance for its service area. The underlying "technology" is precision measurement and installation craftsmanship paired with vendor-supplied motorization platforms; no proprietary AI or software platform is evident.

The business model is one-time project-based sales of custom window treatments bundled with installation services, supplemented by promotional financing through Synchrony Bank (0% interest for up to 6 months on qualifying purchases). Pricing is quote-based, determined during in-home consultations, and varies by window size, product type, material, and lift system. Marketing is multi-channel, anchored by the website and SEO-driven educational blog content, with presence across Facebook, Instagram, YouTube, X, Pinterest, and TikTok; reputation is supported by a 4.7-star Google rating across 47 reviews. The company is privately held by four partners with no disclosed external funding.
