What do vertical blinds cost in Scarborough?

From $220 per opening installed. A standard 72" patio door is typically $260–$340, and wide 96"+ doors $340–$500.

Do modern vertical blinds still look dated?

Fabric vanes look closer to drapery than to the old plastic builder verticals, and they're the option we quote by default.

Can verticals be motorized?

Yes — a motorized track adds roughly $250–$350 per opening and is well worth it on a door you use daily.

Do you install in Scarborough condos?

Yes, including buildings that require a Certificate of Insurance. We carry $2M liability insurance and can email a COI to your property manager.

Nothing beats a vertical blind on a wide sliding door. We install them all over Scarborough and East Toronto — Guildwood bungalows, Agincourt semis, Birch Cliff walk-outs and mid-rise condo balconies along Kingston Road.

The product has a dated reputation because of the brittle plastic vanes that came with 1990s builder packages. Modern fabric vanes look nothing like that.

Why verticals still win on patio doors

A patio door is 72–96" wide and gets opened daily. A roller or zebra on that span has to be lifted entirely every time you step outside, and the fabric sags as it widens.

A vertical stacks to one side in seconds, leaves the door usable, and lets you angle the vanes for privacy without losing the whole view.

Fabric vanes vs. PVC

Fabric vanes hang softer, absorb sound, and read as drapery from across the room. They're the default we quote.

PVC is cheaper and easier to wipe, which is why it still makes sense in a basement walk-out or a rental unit.

Either way, choose a bottom chain or weighted-only build deliberately: chains stop vanes swinging in a draft, but they catch on pets.

Installed pricing

Vertical blinds start at $220 per opening installed. A standard 72" patio door lands around $260–$340, and a 96"+ door or a wide window wall runs $340–$500.

Motorized vertical tracks add roughly $250–$350 per opening — worth it on a door you operate several times a day.

Awkward East Toronto openings

Older Scarborough bungalows often have a header that isn't level and a frame that isn't square. We ceiling-mount with a level track rather than following the frame — otherwise the vanes hang visibly crooked.

Condo balcony doors frequently sit tight to a side wall. In that case we specify a one-way stack away from the wall so the vanes never block the handle.
