We are very happy with the experience, however, I wish the material was a little bit heavier, because the light shines through. I was offered room darkening fabric but didn't realize how thin the fabric would be.

The entire process was very easy. My window treatments are beautiful and exactly what I wanted. They arrived when promised and professionally installed. They probably cost a bit more than the big box stores but the quality of the product and efficiency of the process were well worth it.

Made in the Shade of Lancaster is a great company. Christa came to my home with numerous samples and options for new shades for my great room. She was so easy to work with and discussed the pros and cons of various styles making it much easier to choose. She measured my windows (this is a room with a very high ceiling), and went through color options, etc. When my shades came in, they scheduled an installation time and Kim did a fabulous job with the installation. The shades are high quality and beautiful. Made in the shade of Lancaster is fantastic and I highly recommend them!

It was so easy to have them come to my house and help choose a shade. Great personality and easy to work out the details. Instilling was again great and the installation was done very professionally and with a smile would recommend them to all my friends and family thanks again for the amazing service

Frequently Asked Questions

Who is Made in the Shade Lancaster?

Made in the Shade Lancaster is a locally owned and operated custom window treatment company, an independently owned franchise serving Lancaster, Lititz, Ephrata, and the surrounding areas. We are a mobile showroom, not a storefront, so we bring samples to your home, measure precisely, and install with our highly trained team.

You work with a local team from the first sample to the final install.

What makes you different from a big-box or online store?

We design custom treatments for your exact windows and all four Lancaster seasons, not standard sizes off a shelf. We come to you, show samples in your own light, measure precisely, and install the work ourselves, so the fit, the insulation, and the style are right the first time.

We also carry top brands with a worry-free limited lifetime manufacturer warranty on most products, and we fit the odd-sized windows common in older homes.

Do you charge for the in-home consultation?

No. Our in-home design consultations are free and come with no obligation. We bring the showroom to you, help you choose the right products for the winter and summer, and give you a clear quote.

Call (717) 305-1320 to book a visit that fits your schedule.

Made in the Shade Lancaster serves Lancaster, Lititz, Manheim, Mount Joy, Ephrata, Elizabethtown, Millersville, Strasburg, York, Red Lion, and many surrounding communities. The mobile showroom comes to your home anywhere in the service area.
