Custom Curtains, Drapes & Blinds in Town of Pines

“Very pleased with the professionalism and quality of work. Gilberto worked with me on window treatments for several rooms. The installation was flawless. It was a pleasure working with this firm. I am attaching a photo of drapes done to finish a basement TV room. I can highly recommend this firm for your total window treatment needs.”

“I love Urban Environments. It was recommended to me by several different designers. I finally went in to check it out after being hired by a client that had just bought a 3 story house with many bare windows. She was in need of privacy asap. My design style is very earthy, textural, understated and yet elegant. I explained what I was looking for to the owner, Kim. She pulled out a hand full of books that fit the bill exactly. I LOVED THIS. If you are a Chicago designer that is tired of spending hours in the stale air of the Merchandise Mart looking for the perfect fabric, STOP. Go to Kim. She sorted through it all for you and has the best stuff. Kim worked around mine and the client's schedule and handled all the details from measuring to production to install. We had roller shades, roman shades and gorgeous drapery installed throughout the house. We also chose a wallpaper for the bathroom and she handled the measurement, order, delivery and install. When it comes to window treatments there is a lot that could go wrong. Go with an expert! This was a $30,000 project and transformed the look and feel of the entire house the day it was installed. I had another client with a very low budget. We went with woven wooden roman shades. I had her price everything out and then on behalf of my client had Home Depot come to price out something similar. To my surprise the pricing comparison was within a couple hundred dollars and yet Kim offered a better quality and more customized options. My client was also shocked. It was a no brainer, we passed on Home Depot for Urban Remains. It turned out beautifully and again, transformed the whole house. Her pricing is very competitive and of course she works well with designers. She is one! She makes my life easier and I love that. If you are nervous about "custom" window treatments, don't be, she's got this. Also, her staff is great.”

“Skyline Window Coverings did a fantastic job in our home. The salesperson was knowledgeable and courteous, and had fantastic ideas for staying within our budget. The installer worked fast and effectively, paying attention to all details.”

“I very much enjoyed my experience with New Edge Window Replacement. After speaking with four other window companies, I felt very comfortable with New Edge because they were not pushy and they offered valuable information about the new windows they will be installing. I was given all the details about the windows, the process, and the timeline by the very friendly representative. The window installation was completed on schedule and they did a very professional job. As I only got half my windows replaced, I will call them again soon for the other half.”

“I worked with Chicago Shadeworks after exploring several options, for 3-4 years, and was unable to make decisions. Mike came in, presented the best and most appropriate product for my needs. He installed the products professionally, explained and inserviced us on the proper use. A very pleasent experience and great product. I would recommend Chicago Shadeworks without hesitation”

“We have used Karen and Sew Special to incorporate custom theater drapery in our clients' homes. The work is always done beautifully and professionally. We highly recommend her services.”

“Very helpful and personable!! She came prepared with lots of ideas and materials. Also, she was very communicative and reachable throughout the whole process!!”

“We have worked with Deb Barrett and Window Dressings for years in participation with the IWCE. Far more than excellent service to her customers, Deb shares her knowledge and promotes all thing window fashions!”

“Desiree was great to work with. I had struggled with what to put on my windows and Desiree pulled samples that really worked with my room. Her eye for color and design helped me finally decide what to pick. It felt like I was working with a friend.”
