Lewisville is one of Moncton's older east-end neighbourhoods, close to the river and the Dieppe line, with streets of mid-century family homes, bungalows and storey-and-a-half houses, plus newer infill and apartments.
Many homes here are being renovated by new owners: heat pumps going in, kitchens coming out, and old blinds finally being replaced.
What we fit most here: cordless cellular shades for warmth after a heat pump upgrade, blackout in bedrooms and faux wood blinds in kitchens and bathrooms.
Older homes, new owners. Lewisville has seen a lot of homes change hands in recent years, often to young families and newcomers buying their first house in a neighbourhood with character and reasonable prices. Many of these homes still have older windows that are cold on January nights.
Rooms close to the street. Many Lewisville homes sit close to the sidewalk, so front rooms benefit from top-down bottom-up shades that keep the street out at eye level and let daylight in over the top.
Frequently asked questions
What is the next upgrade after installing a heat pump?
Insulating window coverings. Cellular shades slow heat loss through windows, which helps a heat pump hold the room's temperature on cold nights.
Do you serve the east end of Moncton?
Yes, including Lewisville and the neighbourhoods toward Dieppe.
What gives street privacy without making the room dark?
Top-down bottom-up cellular shades. Cover the bottom of the window and leave the top open to the sky.
