How much do custom blinds, shades, and shutters cost in Venice?

Custom window treatments typically range from under $100 to over $1,000 per window. The price depends on the product, window size, material, operating system, motorization, and number of windows, so an exact quote requires measuring the actual windows. Made in the Shade Venice includes a free in-home consultation — owners William and Sinead Runyon measure every window, show samples in your home's real light, and tailor the quote to your actual project. Call (941) 499-5945 to book.

What window treatments hold up best in Venice's Gulf Coast humidity and salt air?

Moisture-resistant composite (faux wood) shutters and blinds are the best choice for Venice. Unlike real wood, they won't warp, crack, or grow mildew in Gulf Coast humidity and salt air, and they're easy to clean. For heat and glare, solar shades block the intense Florida sun while preserving your view. Many Venice homeowners combine composite shutters in humid and lanai-adjacent rooms with solar or cellular shades in living areas.

Are you locally owned?

Yes. Made in the Shade Venice is locally owned and operated by William and Sinead Runyon, who personally handle the consultation, measuring, and installation. You work directly with the owners, not a call center or a big-box retailer. They're based right here in Venice at 871 Venetia Bay Blvd and serve Venice, Englewood, and North Port.

Do solar shades really lower energy bills in Florida?

Yes. Solar shades block the sun's heat and up to 99% of UV before it enters, easing the load on your AC through Florida's long cooling season. Because Venice runs the AC nearly year-round, that heat rejection can meaningfully lower your electric bill. They also protect floors, furniture, and artwork from the intense Florida sun while preserving your view.
