Idaho Falls’s Authorized Roller Shade Dealer

THE PROBLEM HERE
IS WINTER.

Most shade problems are summer problems. Idaho Falls has the opposite profile: the sun sits low for months, snow covers everything in front of the window, and the light that causes trouble comes in at an angle and reflects up off the ground. A shade chosen for July afternoons does very little about a January morning.

Peak Shades is an authorized dealer for Lutron, Draper, Hunter Douglas, Phantom Screens, Somfy and MechoShade, and schedules eastern Idaho work in blocks. Shades are measured and cut on site, and the installer is the person who measured.

Where We Measure

IDAHO FALLS AREAS WE SERVE.

Downtown Idaho Falls

Older homes and converted buildings with tall, narrow, non-standard openings. Inside-mount, measured individually.

North Hill

Established homes with mature planting on some elevations and none on others, so the specification varies window by window.

Bonneville County

Rural properties with open exposure on every side and no borrowed shade at all.

Ammon

Newer subdivisions, consistent window sizes, which keeps a whole-house package to one install visit.

Iona

Smaller community, older stock, straightforward manual rollers where nothing needs automating.

West Idaho Falls

Open ground to the west. Solar fabric for the afternoon, blackout where the room is also slept in.

Idaho Falls-Specific

WHAT MAKES SHADING IDAHO FALLS DIFFERENT.

01
Snow reflects light upward
With the ground white, a window takes light from below as well as above. That is the single most common reason a shade that worked in September stops working in January.
02
Low sun defeats overhangs
When the sun sits near the horizon it comes in almost level, under every eave and overhang. Only something at the glass addresses it.
03
Winter light is wanted and unwanted at once
Nobody wants a dark house in an eastern Idaho winter. Dual shades are the honest answer — a solar fabric that cuts glare while keeping daylight, with a blackout roller behind it for when the room needs to be dark.
04
Fabric does the thermal work too
A shade at the glass reduces the amount of cold surface a room is exposed to in the evening. It is a comfort difference you notice sitting near a window, not a number on a bill.

Pricing

HOW MUCH DO ROLLER SHADES
COST IN IDAHO FALLS?

Priced per window. Eastern Idaho quotes commonly pair a solar fabric with a blackout behind it, so the cost reflects two shades on the rooms that need both.

MOTORIZED ROLLER

$700–$3K+

Per window, by size and system. Install is 1–2 days; service life 20+ years.

EXTERIOR SOLAR SCREEN

$400–$2K+

Per window, fixed frame through motorized retractable. Usually a one-day install, 15–20 year life.

WHAT MOVES THE NUMBER

4 things

Window size, fabric, motor system, and whether power already reaches the window. We quote the options side by side.

Ranges cover measurement, fabric, hardware, install and programming. Electrical work for hardwired systems, and any HOA or design-review submittal, are quoted separately.

Idaho Falls Shade FAQ

IDAHO FALLS SHADE QUESTIONS.

Why is my room worse in winter than summer?

Low sun and snow. The light arrives almost horizontally and reflects up off the ground, so it gets under anything above the window and past anything sized for overhead sun.

What is a dual shade?

Two shades on one window — a solar fabric for daytime glare and a blackout roller behind it. It is the normal specification where a room is used all day and slept in at night.

Do shades help with cold near the window?

They reduce how much cold glass the room is open to, which is a noticeable comfort change where seating is near a window. It is not insulation and we do not sell it as such.

Is it worth motorizing in a smaller house?

Only if the windows are high or numerous. On reachable windows a good manual roller is the better value and there is nothing to fail.

Do you really come to Idaho Falls?

Yes — eastern Idaho is scheduled in blocks. Tell us your timing and we will tell you the next trip.

How long do they last?

A motorized roller has a 20-plus year service life; fabric is normally what dates first, and fade-rated fabric is worth the difference.
