Most are pretty easy to install. Try it yourself first and if you find it's too difficult then I would call in some help.

Would like to order them before we close on the house but wondering if I need to actually wait and measure or if we could just go with our window sizes?

I would wait and measure yourself

no. you need to measure the inside of the window at three spots. top, middle and bottom. window size will not work. they are easy enough to install yourself.

Hey There: The installation of a manual or battery operated roller shade is very simple - you install 3 to 4 brackets to the ceiling or the wall and the roller shades clip just onto it. These type of operation are also the most common for remodel or improvements on an existing house because you don't need to get power to it. If you want hardwired roller shades, you need for sure and electrician and a licensed installer which makes the project about twice as expensive...

Roller shades come in hundreds of fabrics and it is fun to find the perfect one for each room with its individual requirement of privacy and light management.

Btw, you must wait until you can take exact measurements to make sure the blinds are perfect fit.
