Why Olney Homes Need More Than Standard Window Treatments
Your windows are not a one-size fits all product and Olney is not a one-size fits all community. Large colonial, rambler and split level residences were constructed primarily from 1975 to 2000, lining the neighborhoods along MD-108 and Olney Sandy Spring Road. These houses typically include:
- Large living/dining room windows that require afternoon western sun treatments that won’t obscure the room’s light level
- Completely finished basements and home offices that must have exact light control – important in a community where almost a quarter of residents work from home
- Open-concept kitchens that require solutions that are moisture-proof and offer a clear visual connection to the outdoor space
- Primary bedrooms where black out performance is important for shift workers, young children, and people who appreciate a good night’s sleep
Our window treatment experts are certified and know all about the layout of Olney homes and the way that Olney families live. It’s this that sets a free consultation with BuyHomeBlinds apart from a sales visit.
Our Window Treatment Products – Available in Olney, MD
Plantation Shutters
Olney's most popular product in higher-end single-family homes. Made of high quality hardwood and composite materials, our custom plantation shutters are designed to fit your window perfectly with no gaps or misaligned louvers. They enhance the colonial and traditional house style prevalent throughout many neighborhoods, such as Hollow Crest and Olney Square. Can be used in full height, café and tier-on-tier options.
Custom Cellular Shades
Perfect for the four season city of Olney. Older window casings provide a significant benefit in a community by trapping air in the pockets of the honeycomb cellular shades, which reduces heat gain during the summer and heat loss during the winter. Single, double and triple cell configurations, blackout, room darkening and light filtering opacities as well as cordless or motorized lift systems are available. Ideal for bedrooms, home offices and nurseries.
Faux Wood Blinds
Olney's ideal choice for kitchens, bathrooms, and finished basements for the practical and high style. PVC composite faux wood blinds are also waterproof, warp resistant and almost impossible to tell apart from real hardwood blinds – at a much more affordable price. Slat width of 2 inches or 2.5 inches, and comes with a complete variety of wood-tone stains and painted finishes.
Motorized & Smart Blinds
More than 25% of Olney's employees work remotely and motorized window treatments are no longer a luxury but a workday necessity. Set your blinds to open at sunrise, operate them with a voice command to Alexa or Google Home, or control an entire floor of blinds from your phone. We install motorized systems from the best manufacturers that fit your existing smart home systems.
Roman Shades
Designer's selection for formal living rooms and master bedrooms. Made in-house from top quality fabrics, our custom Roman Shades are available in flat fold, hobbled or relaxed fold depending on your preference. Lined versions offer room-darkening; unlined sheers offer beautiful softening of natural light. Softness meets architectural detail in Olney's traditional colonial homes.
Drapery Panels & Valances
Finish off your windows with custom Drapery that is made to your exact needs. Driven by the whims of decor, drapery panels are another way to insulate, soften acoustically and give main living areas a designer touch, when used with cellular shades or blinds below. Also available is upholstered cornice board and tailored valances for a complete, polished appearance.

Energy Savings That Matter in Montgomery County
Maryland has a climate that is humid and high-sun in the summer and cold and drafty in the winter. Year-round, the right window treatment is one of the most simple, cost-effective ways to save on your home’s energy load.
Windows are one of the largest sources of home energy loss, and our energy-efficient cellular shades have been rated to significantly cut down on heat transfer. Residents of Montgomery County could also qualify for Maryland’s Residential Clean Energy Tax Credit and the EmPOWER Maryland energy efficiency programs, which may be additional advantages to consider before your project even starts. During your consultation, ask our consultants about the energy-efficient options of our products.

Yes, we service all residential neighborhoods in Olney and the surrounding neighborhoods such as Sandy Spring, Ashton, Laytonsville, Brookeville, and Burtonsville. Verify your address with us, call (301) 847-7000.
Q: How much do plantation shutters cost for an Olney home?
Depending on the window quantities, sizes, and the materials used (hardwood vs. composite), pricing varies. Expect to pay between $400 and $900 per window for most single rooms that are custom-fabricated with professional installation. No worries, we give you a full written quote after your free in-home consultation.
Q: Are your products safe for homes with young children and pets?
Absolutely. All of our cordless and motorized products meet or exceed current CPSC child safety standards. For rooms where children under the age of 10 are present, we highly recommend cordless lifts and will highlight this during consultation.
Q: How long does installation typically take for a whole-home project in Olney?
Products are fabricated and most full home projects (10-20 windows) can be finished in a single day. Time to install may vary from 3 – 5 weeks from measurement for custom orders depending on product type. New construction and move in deadlines are available.
Q: Can I use my BuyHomeBlinds cellular shades to qualify for Maryland energy efficiency incentives?
Potentially, yes. Some window upgrades are eligible for Maryland’s EmPOWER program or federal energy efficiency credits. Cellular shades are one of the most environmentally-friendly types of window treatments out there. Eligibility is recommended to be verified by a tax professional, but product documentation will be provided for your application.
Q: Do you offer motorized blinds that work with Alexa or Google Home in Olney?
Yes. We can integrate our motorized shading systems with Amazon Alexa, Google Home or Apple HomeKit. We do all the setup while installing so your smart blinds are ready to roll when we depart.
Q: What's the difference between solar shades and blackout shades for a home office?
Solar shades block glare and UV rays without sacrificing your view – perfect for video calls and screen tasks during the day without sacrificing connection to the outdoors. Blackout shades are dark enough to block out every bit of light, making them ideal for media rooms or situations where you want total darkness, no matter the time of day. Solar shade for daytime, blackout roller for afternoon glare or privacy – many Olney home office owners opt for a combination of these.
Q: Is financing available for large window treatment projects?
Yes. Qualified buyers can finance the purchase in 9-months for the same price with Regions Bank same-as-cash financing. It is a popular choice for whole house blind projects and motorized blind installation in Olney and the cost of projects can range from $3,000 – $15,000 or higher depending on home size and product selection.
