Q. Why Should I Choose American-made window treatments?
A. American manufacturers like Hunter Douglas maintain rigorous quality control standards. These products consistently demonstrate excellent durability and performance while supporting domestic jobs and economic growth. The attention to detail in American manufacturing results in window treatments that operate smoothly and maintain their appearance for years.
Q. Do you offer window treatments for windows in hard-to-reach places?
A. Our motorized window treatment options provide convenient control for high windows, skylights, and other challenging locations. Remote operation and automated scheduling make these previously inaccessible windows as manageable as any other in your home.
Q. How long does installation typically take?
A. The total time varies based on your project size and window specifications. Our professional installers work efficiently while maintaining precision, coordinating convenient appointment times that fit your schedule with minimal disruption to your home routine.
Q. Which window treatments work best for my home?
A. Your ideal window treatments depend on several practical factors - including daily sunlight patterns, desired privacy levels, and seasonal temperature changes. During our consultation, we examine room layout, window sizes, and living patterns to help guide your selection toward products that match your requirements.
Q. How can I prepare for my installation appointment?
A. We recommend clearing the area around your windows and moving delicate items before our arrival. Upon scheduling, you'll receive simple preparation guidance to help installation day go smoothly. Our careful installation methods include comprehensive protection for your furniture and floors.
Q. What kind of maintenance will my window treatments require?
A. Most window treatments stay beautiful with basic care - regular light dusting and occasional cleaning according to product specifications. We provide detailed care instructions for your selections and recommend professional cleaning services when needed.
Great customer service and very professional. The plantation shutters are beautiful. Ordered for 2 rooms in our home and did such a great job ordered for another room. Installation went great and the installers cleaned up behind themselves. After installing I was given an overview of how to properly open and close the shutters and how to keep them clean. I would recommend to anyone who wants professional service.
Benchmark Shutters & Shades did an extraordinary job at our home! Clint Chambers the owner is honest, professional, punctual, and priced just right.

We are beyond thrilled with our new Plantation Shutters that were recently installed, they completely changed the appearance of our house inside and out! The customer service that we received from this company was outstanding, they even offered to clean up the dust from installation! The attention to detail is what I loved most about Clint, he was such a huge help with deciding what to do with our oversized window ! I can't wait to have more installed in the near future. I would and will use this company again and would highly recommend them to anyone who is looking for a professional, friendly and personable staff!
