There’s a difference between covering your windows and actually solving the problem. The right custom window treatments block the UV rays that fade your flooring and furniture, manage the heat that drives your AC bill up every summer, and give you real privacy without sacrificing the views you moved here for. That’s what properly selected, properly installed window coverings do.
If you’re in Oyster Harbour, Lockwood Folly, or anywhere along the Intracoastal Waterway near Supply, your windows face reflected sunlight on top of direct sun. That combination accelerates fading faster than most homeowners expect, and it makes the wrong product choice an expensive one. Moisture-resistant materials, UV-stable fabrics, and corrosion-resistant hardware aren’t upgrades here — they’re the baseline for anything that’s going to last.
Supply also draws a lot of retirees and new residents who are furnishing a home from scratch or finally replacing builder-grade blinds that never quite fit right. Either way, the goal is the same: a home that looks intentional, stays comfortable year-round, and doesn’t need to be redone in two years because the wrong product was installed.
We’re an owner-operated business based on US 17 in Supply — the same highway that runs straight through this part of Brunswick County. That’s not a coincidence. This corridor is our market, and it’s been our focus for years. With over 4,000 completed projects across coastal North Carolina and 50 years of combined design, measurement, and installation experience, we’re not figuring things out on your windows.
Sal handles the consultation, the measurement, and the installation personally. There’s no handoff to a subcontractor, no miscommunication between a salesperson and an installer, and no one who doesn’t know your home showing up on install day. Customers in Supply and throughout Brunswick County — including new residents settling into communities like Oyster Harbour and the Lockwood Folly neighborhood — have noted that the process felt easy and low-pressure from the first call.
As a registered Graber dealer, our products are manufacturer-backed and built to perform. Our pricing reflects a local, owner-operated business — not a national franchise with regional markups.
It starts with a free in-home consultation. Sal comes to your home in Supply — whether you’re off Stone Chimney Road, near the Green Swamp Road corridor, or in one of the newer planned communities developing along NC 211 — brings samples, and walks through your options in the actual space where the treatments will live. You see how the fabrics and materials look in your light, against your walls, with your views. That context matters more than any showroom visit.
During that same visit, every window gets measured precisely. Custom window coverings are only as good as the measurements behind them, and getting them wrong means gaps, poor light control, and treatments that look off from day one. Once measurements are done, you get a complete quote before anyone leaves. No waiting a week for a callback.
After you approve the order, installation is scheduled and handled by Sal directly. Because Supply is an unincorporated community in Brunswick County, interior window treatment installation doesn’t require a building permit — but if you’re in a gated community like Oyster Harbour or Lockwood Folly Country Club, HOA architectural guidelines may apply to exterior-visible treatments like plantation shutters. That gets reviewed during the consultation so there are no surprises. Installation is free with any custom product purchase.

We offer the full range of custom window treatments — cellular shades, faux wood blinds, composite plantation shutters, solar shades, draperies, cornices, verticals, and motorized options for any room or window configuration. Every product recommendation is made with Supply’s specific environment in mind. That means moisture-resistant materials for the humidity that comes with living near the Lockwood Folly River and the Intracoastal Waterway, UV-stable fabrics for windows that take direct and water-reflected sun, and hardware that won’t corrode in the salt air that reaches inland from the Brunswick Islands.
Cellular shades are worth a specific mention for Supply homeowners on fixed incomes or anyone watching their utility bills. With R-values up to 5.0, they create a genuine insulating barrier that reduces thermal transfer through your windows — which matters a lot when Brunswick County heat indexes are regularly pushing past 100°F and your HVAC is running hard from June through September.
Our pricing runs roughly one-third of what national competitors typically quote for the same job with the same name-brand materials. That’s what customers have documented in their own words after getting competing quotes. The free in-home consultation, same-day quote, and free installation with purchase are standard on every job. No hidden fees, no upsells you didn’t ask for.
The short answer: anything that isn’t real wood, paper-based, or built with bare metal hardware. Supply’s combination of high baseline humidity — regularly sitting at 70 to 80 percent through the summer months — and proximity to the Lockwood Folly River and the Intracoastal Waterway creates conditions that will warp, swell, and corrode standard off-the-shelf blinds within a season or two.
The products that consistently perform well in this environment are faux wood blinds (they look like real wood but don’t absorb moisture), composite plantation shutters (engineered specifically for humid coastal climates), cellular shades with moisture-resistant fabrics, and aluminum or vinyl-based products with corrosion-resistant hardware. Solar shades are also a strong choice for waterway-facing windows where reflected UV is a real issue. During the in-home consultation, Sal walks through the specific conditions in your Supply home — which direction your windows face, how much direct versus reflected light they get, and what your priorities are — before making a product recommendation.
The range is wide because the variables are wide — number of windows, window size, product type, and whether you’re doing a single room or a whole house all affect the final number. What you can count on with us is pricing that reflects a local, owner-operated business rather than a national franchise. Customers in Supply who have gotten competing quotes have documented paying roughly one-third of what a national competitor quoted for the same job with the same name-brand materials.
For a standard single room with two to four windows, custom treatments typically start in the few hundred dollar range and scale from there depending on product and complexity. Whole-home projects — which are common in Supply’s new construction communities like the developments off Green Swamp Road and along NC 211 — are quoted as a complete package, and the free installation with purchase applies across the entire job. You get a complete, itemized quote during the in-home consultation before any commitment is made.
It depends on the treatment type and what’s visible from outside the home. Interior-only treatments like cellular shades, roller shades, and most blinds typically don’t trigger HOA review because they don’t affect the exterior appearance of the home. Plantation shutters are a different story — because they’re visible from the street or waterway, many HOAs in Supply’s gated and planned communities have guidelines around louver size, color, and material.
Oyster Harbour, Lockwood Folly Country Club, and Winding River Plantation all have active HOAs, and their architectural guidelines vary. The in-home consultation naturally includes a review of any HOA requirements you’re aware of, and Sal can help you identify products that meet those standards before anything is ordered. If you’re unsure what your HOA allows, it’s worth pulling your community’s architectural guidelines before the consultation — that way the product selection conversation is already scoped to what’s approved.
The consultation is genuinely free, and the process is built around helping you make the right decision — not the most expensive one. Multiple customers have specifically noted that Sal took time to explain their options honestly, including cases where a simpler or less costly product was the better fit for their situation. We run on referrals and repeat customers, which means there’s no incentive to oversell you something that doesn’t make sense for your home.
During the visit, Sal brings samples, measures your windows, and answers questions about product performance in Supply’s specific climate — humidity, UV exposure, salt air proximity, and any HOA considerations that apply to your community. You leave the consultation with a complete quote and a clear understanding of what you’re getting. There’s no obligation to purchase, and no one follows up with pressure calls. If the quote works for you, great. If you need time to think, that’s fine too.
For a whole-home installation — which is a common scenario in Supply given the volume of new construction and relocating residents who need every window covered at once — the timeline from consultation to completed installation typically runs one to three weeks depending on product lead times and scheduling. The consultation and measurement happen in a single visit. The quote is provided the same day. Once you approve the order, products are fabricated to your exact window measurements and installation is scheduled as soon as they arrive.
Installation itself moves efficiently because Sal handles it directly and the measurements are precise from the start. There’s no back-and-forth with a third-party installer who wasn’t at the consultation. For homeowners in new developments off Green Swamp Road or along the NC 211 corridor who are trying to get settled before the next Brunswick County summer heat cycle kicks in, getting the consultation scheduled early is the best way to make sure everything is in place before the UV index starts climbing.
For waterway-adjacent homes in Supply — particularly in Oyster Harbour and the Lockwood Folly community — motorized treatments make a lot of practical sense. The sun angle shifts significantly throughout the day when you’re dealing with both direct sunlight and water-reflected glare, and being able to adjust your shades without getting up every hour is a real quality-of-life improvement, not just a luxury feature.
Motorized cellular shades and solar shades are the most common choice for this use case. They can be adjusted by remote, wall switch, or smartphone app depending on the system, and they work well in rooms where manual cords are inconvenient — large windows, high windows, or rooms where you want to manage light from the couch. The technology is reliable, our products are backed by Graber’s manufacturer warranty, and the installation is handled the same way as any other treatment — included with purchase. If you’re furnishing a new home in one of Supply’s waterway communities and you’re on the fence about motorization, the in-home consultation is a good place to see the options side by side and decide what actually fits your lifestyle.
