From Interior Shutters, Shades and Blinds to Exterior Porches, Decks and Patios

Naturally, I knew the window treatment business from the ground up, but my main focus has been watching the evolution of the shutter, shades, and blinds industry, observing the changing consumer tastes in the window treatment trends.

When my wife, Shelby, and I moved into the Raleigh area in 2016, we were immediately struck by the differences in styles and preferences in the triangle market, especially the tendency to use elegant porches, decks, and porches as the primary outdoor space for living and entertaining. The market in the triangle has been evolving, changing and growing since we moved here. Our experience in the industry seemed to go hand-in-hand with the evolving market. I took our knowledge, skillsets, and supplier connections of interior window treatments and expanded them into the exterior living space. We pride ourselves on quality and integrity in all business, so transferring into the exterior living world came quite naturally.
