Window Treatments for New and Existing Homes in Hilliard, Ohio

Updated October 2026

Hilliard has a growing mix of new construction and established neighborhoods, which means many homeowners are staring at bare windows in a brand-new house. Here's how to handle it.

Moving into a new build

Custom treatments take a few weeks to make, so many installers offer free temporary privacy shades to cover bare windows in the meantime. If your home is still under construction, now is the cheapest time to prewire for hardwired motorized shades, since running wire later means opening walls.

Budget-smart choices for the whole house

Mixing treatments by room keeps costs down: faux wood blinds in kitchens and baths, cordless cellular shades in bedrooms, and shutters or motorized shades in the main living spaces. Compare them in shades vs blinds vs shutters.

What it costs in Hilliard

Faux wood blinds typically run $125 to $500 per window installed, cordless cellular shades $175 to $750, motorized rechargeable roller shades $450 to $1,300, and composite shutters $275 to $1,600. Full breakdown: window treatment costs in Central Ohio.
