Quispamsis has grown from a quiet rural community into one of New Brunswick's largest towns, mostly family homes built from the 1970s onward along the Kennebecasis River, with newer subdivisions still filling the hills. It is a place people choose for space, good schools and the river.
Homes here tend to be larger, newer and well built. The brief is usually about finishing well: motorized shades for tall windows, blackout bedrooms, a consistent look and glare control on river-facing glass.
Your blinds are measured in your home, made in our Halifax workshop and installed by our own crew.

What it means for your windows: With the sun topping out at about 21 degrees in December, low light comes in under eaves and porch roofs that shade the same windows in summer. Glare control matters most from November to February. Long June evenings, with sunset at about 9:15 p.m., make blackout bedrooms one of the most requested upgrades here.
