Riverview sits on the south bank of the Petitcodiac, facing Moncton across the river: a quiet, family-focused town with established neighbourhoods, newer subdivisions climbing the hills and plenty of homes with a view of the river and the tidal bore.
It is a town of homeowners who stay. People here tend to invest in the house they are in, and they want window coverings that will last as long as they do.
Your blinds are measured in your home, made in our Halifax workshop and installed by our own crew, usually about two weeks after the measure.
What Riverview homes need
Warmth. Cellular shades for cold inland nights.
River views without the glare. North-facing homes on the riverbank look across the water at Moncton; solar shades on east and west windows control the low sun.
Family practicality. Cordless roller shades and faux wood.

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 9:13 p.m., make blackout bedrooms one of the most requested upgrades here.

Around Riverview
Gunningsville
Gunningsville is Riverview's eastern end, near the Gunningsville Bridge to downtown Moncton, with established family homes and newer houses, many with views over the Petitcodiac.
River-facing homes here face north across the water, which means steady heat loss through big windows in winter, and evening sun from the west in summer.
What we fit most here: double-cell cellular shades on north-facing view windows, solar shades on west windows and blackout for bedrooms.
How do I keep a big north-facing window warm? Use a double-cell cellular shade, ideally with side channels, and close it at dusk in winter.
Do you serve Gunningsville? Yes. Measures and quotes are free throughout Riverview.
Bridgedale
Bridgedale is one of Riverview's original neighbourhoods, at the western end near the causeway, with streets of mid-century family homes and a strong sense of community.
Many homes here have been in families for decades and are now being updated, with heat pumps, new kitchens and new window coverings.
What we fit most here: cordless cellular shades throughout, blackout in bedrooms and faux wood blinds in kitchens and bathrooms.
Should I replace old corded blinds? If you have grandchildren visiting or young children at home, yes. Older corded blinds may not meet Health Canada's current safety rules. Cordless shades remove the risk.
How long do blinds take in Riverview? Most orders are installed about two weeks after the measure.
