Sackville is where a lot of HRM families buy their first house, and where a lot of them stay. Lower Sackville's streets of 1960s and 1970s bungalows and split-levels, Middle Sackville's newer subdivisions, the acreages of Upper Sackville and the growing community of Beaver Bank all have one thing in common: people here want good value and things that last.
That is what we bring. Custom blinds measured by our team, made in our Halifax workshop twenty minutes away, installed properly and priced honestly.
What Sackville homes need
Warmth. Many Sackville homes still have their original or first replacement windows. Cellular shades are the most effective upgrade short of new windows.
Kid-proof and pet-proof. Cordless shades, tough fabrics and faux wood blinds that wipe clean.
Practical patio doors. Vertical blinds or vertical cellular that slide out of the way of the dog.
Fair pricing. Whole-home packages with one clear quote.

What it means for your windows: In midwinter the sun never climbs higher than about 22 degrees here, so it reaches far into south-facing rooms. That is welcome warmth on a cold afternoon and a real glare problem on a TV or a laptop. With the June sun up at about 5:29 a.m., east-facing bedrooms need blackout with sealed edges for anyone who likes to sleep past dawn.
