Blinds Installation Cost Guide
Most blinds quotes start from the type: the slat blind, the venetian, the vertical, the cordless, or the motorized unit. HomeGuide's dedicated page prices each type per window installed, from $20 at the mini end to $1,000 at the motorized end. This guide prices the per-window line by type, type by type.

The per-window price by blind type, from one named page
| Blind type | What the type names | HomeGuide installed line |
|---|---|---|
| Traditional slat | thick or thin horizontal slats | $30-$200 |
| Venetian | horizontal slats in wood, metal, or vinyl | $25-$400 |
| Vertical | tall windows and sliding glass doors | $50-$350 |
| Cordless | opened and closed by pulling and pushing | $30-$300 |
| Motorized / electric | remote-controlled type | $300-$1,000 |
| Mini / micro | small slats for small windows | $20-$140 |
| Roller | one fabric panel instead of slats | $20-$250 |
Every figure in this table is the HomeGuide dedicated page's published type line, including prefab and custom options inside each band, named as that page's line wherever used. The same page splits a prefab window into materials at $10 to $100 and labor at $20 to $100, so a type band is a product-plus-mounting reading, not a product price alone. The blinds project whole prices on the blinds installation cost hub.
What moves a type band: size and scope inside the type
Type names the band; size and scope place a window inside it. The same HomeGuide page prices size apart, at $40 to $140 for a 24x36 window and $170 to $500 at 60x72, whichever type covers it, and prices custom blinds at $70 to $600 per window installed against prefabricated at $30 to $200. A large venetian in a custom scope can therefore price above a small motorized unit's opening band, even though the motorized type band opens far higher. The two scopes price apart in full on the prefab vs. custom blinds cost guide.
The shutter pages price the look-alike alternative, differentiated head-on
A plantation shutter and a venetian blind cover the same opening and read alike in a photo, and they are different purchases, priced on different pages. The plantation shutter hub prices shutters whole, as a framed shutter project with its own product and mounting lines. The shutters vs. blinds comparison prices the two as alternatives against each other; it is a comparison, and it never prints a per-window blinds installation line of the kind tabled above. The exterior shutters page prices outside shutters, a different face of the house entirely. This guide prices none of those shutter projects: it prices blinds, by type, per window.
Reading a by-type quote, as reported lines only
A by-type quote should name its type, its size line, and its scope apart: the product line, the measuring line, and the mounting line, each as a cost line only. The Angi frame, kept separate from the HomeGuide type table, prices the finished project whole at $755 on average for about eight windows, with old-blind removal at $10 to $30 per window as a reported adder where carried.
