Custom Window Treatment Services in Bellingham, WA
Lorraine’s Window Coverings provides personalized, full-service support from your initial consultation through professional measuring and installation. We serve homeowners, businesses, contractors, and boat owners throughout Whatcom, Skagit, Island, and San Juan counties. Whether you are updating one window or planning a complete property, our experienced team will help make the process clear, comfortable, and rewarding.
PROFESSIONAL WINDOW MEASURING
Custom window treatments depend on accurate measurements. Even a small error can affect their appearance, fit, and operation. Our team carefully measures each opening and evaluates trim, handles, mounting depth, nearby obstructions, and other installation considerations. Professional measuring is especially valuable for unusually shaped windows, doors, large openings, closely grouped windows, motorized treatments, and new-construction projects. Once your measurements and selections are confirmed, we coordinate the ordering process with the appropriate manufacturer.
Free In-Home Design Consultations
Let us bring the showroom to you. A complimentary in-home consultation allows us to evaluate your windows, lighting, furnishings, and privacy needs within the space itself. We bring handpicked samples and provide personalized guidance so you can make an informed decision from the comfort of your home.
What to Expect During Your Consultation
Your design consultant will:
- Discuss your style, goals, priorities, and budget
- Evaluate your windows, lighting, and surrounding space
- Consider privacy, glare, room-darkening, and energy-efficiency needs
- Present carefully selected materials, colors, and operating options
- Explain applicable motorization and automation features
- Take precise measurements
- Review recommendations and next steps
Our consultations are informative and collaborative. We are here to help you find an appropriate solution—not pressure you into a particular product.
Professional Installation
Professional installation helps your window treatments look polished, fit correctly, and operate smoothly from the first day. Our experienced installers handle every detail carefully while respecting your home or workplace.
Our installation team will:
- Treat your home and workspace with care
- Mount and align each window treatment accurately
- Test products for proper operation
- Set up applicable motorized controls and features
- Explain how to use remotes, controls, or mobile applications
- Review basic product care and maintenance

Before leaving, we want you to feel comfortable operating and caring for your new window treatments.
Window Treatment Service and Repairs
A damaged or poorly operating window treatment may not always need to be replaced. Depending on the product’s manufacturer, age, condition, and available components, repair may be possible. Some products may also qualify for coverage under a manufacturer’s warranty. Our team can evaluate the issue, help identify potential warranty coverage, and recommend the appropriate next step.
Repair assistance may include:
- Evaluating operating problems
- Coordinating eligible manufacturer warranty claims
- Replacing available parts or components
- Removing products that must be sent out for repair
- Reinstalling repaired window treatments
- Recommending replacement when repair is not practical
Repair availability, service charges, warranty coverage, and replacement-part availability vary. Please call before bringing a window treatment to our showroom.
Custom Window Treatment Services for Boats
Boat windows often have unusual dimensions, limited mounting space, and unique privacy and light-control requirements. Lorraine’s Window Coverings helps owners of yachts, cabin cruisers, houseboats, and other vessels find custom solutions suited to their marine interiors.
Our team has completed marine window treatment projects in Bellingham Bay, Blaine, Semiahmoo, Anacortes, and other Puget Sound locations.
Custom boat window treatments can help:
- Increase privacy at the dock or marina
- Reduce glare on bright days
- Create a darker sleeping environment
- Protect interior materials from ultraviolet exposure
- Improve comfort inside the cabin
- Give the interior a more polished appearance
- Accommodate compact or unusually shaped windows
Because every vessel is different, we begin by evaluating the windows, available mounting space, intended use, and surrounding interior.
