Stratford sits across the Hillsborough River from Charlottetown and has been one of the fastest-growing towns on the Island for years. Most homes are newer family houses and townhouses, many with views of the river, the harbour or the city across the water.
Newer homes, young families and water views define the work here: blackout bedrooms, modern living areas and glare control on water-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: In midwinter the sun never climbs higher than about 20 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 5:20 a.m., east-facing bedrooms need blackout with sealed edges for anyone who likes to sleep past dawn.
