We serve every corner of Santa Rosa from our Windsor shop just 15 minutes north. Owner Phil D.

Who Installs Custom Window Treatments in Santa Rosa?
Discount Best Blinds and Shutters serves all Santa Rosa neighborhoods and businesses with free in-home and on-site design consultations. Owner Phil D. Skikos, a lifelong Santa Rosa resident, brings samples to your home for accurate color matching in your specific lighting conditions.
Unlike big-box retailers where you choose from a wall of tiny swatches under fluorescent lighting, our consultation process puts full-size samples in your hands, in your rooms, under the natural and artificial light that actually fills your space. This approach ensures the cellular shades, shutters, or blinds you select look exactly as expected once installed.
Neighborhoods We Serve in Santa Rosa
Bennett Valley
Bennett Valley is known for its spacious ranch-style properties set against rolling hillside views. Many homes in this area feature large picture windows and sliding glass doors that frame the surrounding landscape. These generous windows benefit from energy-efficient treatments that manage heat gain during warm afternoons while preserving the connection to the outdoors. Solar shades and light-filtering cellular shades are popular choices for Bennett Valley homeowners who want privacy and UV protection without sacrificing their views.
Fountaingrove
Fountaingrove continues to rebuild and evolve following the 2017 Tubbs Fire, with many homes featuring contemporary architecture, open floor plans, and floor-to-ceiling windows designed to capture hillside views. These modern designs often include large, high windows that are difficult to dress with traditional window treatments. PowerView motorized shades are an ideal solution for Fountaingrove homes, providing effortless daily operation of hard-to-reach windows through app control, voice commands, or automated schedules. Many homeowners rebuilding in Fountaingrove integrate motorization into their plans from the start, allowing for hardwired power connections that eliminate the need for batteries. For living rooms with panoramic hillside views, Silhouette® window shadings soften incoming light while maintaining a clear connection to the landscape.
McDonald Historic District
The McDonald Historic District is one of Santa Rosa's most treasured neighborhoods, with craftsman bungalows, Victorians, and colonial revival homes dating from the early 1900s. These homes often have non-standard window sizes, arched openings, and deep sills that require custom measurement and fabrication. Preserving the character of a historic home while upgrading to modern functionality is a specialty of ours. Plantation shutters complement the architectural details of craftsman and Victorian homes beautifully, while custom-sized cellular shades fit the unique dimensions of older windows where off-the-shelf products simply do not work.
Rincon Valley and Montgomery Village
Rincon Valley and Montgomery Village represent the diverse fabric of Santa Rosa residential living, from mid-century ranch homes to contemporary townhomes. These neighborhoods see strong demand for custom blinds and shades that balance privacy, light control, and energy efficiency. Whether you are updating a single room or outfitting an entire home, we bring the same professional consultation process and attention to detail to every project regardless of scope. Homeowners looking to protect valuable furnishings and flooring from sun damage should explore our UV and art protection solutions for year-round defense against fading.
From Our Santa Rosa Shop to Your Door
Our Santa Rosa shop is just a 15-minute drive from central Santa Rosa via Highway 101, making same-day and next-day consultations readily available for Santa Rosa homeowners. Phil regularly schedules multiple Santa Rosa appointments in a single day, so there is rarely a long wait between booking your consultation and seeing samples in your home. Once you place your order, most window treatments are manufactured and ready for professional installation within 10 business days.
What Santa Rosa Homeowners Say
“After rebuilding our Fountaingrove home, we wanted motorized shades that matched the modern architecture. Phil recommended PowerView with hardwired installation - they operate silently and the app scheduling adjusts with the seasons automatically.”
- Fountaingrove Homeowner
“Our 1920s craftsman in the McDonald District has windows that are all different sizes. Phil measured every single one and the custom cellular shades fit perfectly. The house stays so much cooler in summer now.”
- McDonald District Homeowner
“We compared Discount Best Blinds and Shutters to two big-box stores for our Rincon Valley home. Phil brought full-size samples to our house and the colors matched perfectly. The big-box swatches looked nothing like the actual products. Worth every penny.”
