I'm looking for someone to install two-story drapes in my home. There are only 2 panels that need installing but it is an 18 foot ceiling and the wall itself is 15 feet wide approximately.

I see a lot of ads on craigslist for handyman work but I would feel better if someone could give me a referral to a reputable company that does things like this. Thanks!

We used A Shade Above for our blinds and they were great. If they don't do drapes they might know who does that is reputable.

You can buy yourself a 20ft ladder for about $70 and it will be a lot cheaper!

Wouldn't one need two twenty foot ladders? The wall is 15 feet wide so I am not sure how one person would be able to install this piece. I am also not sure where you are finding a 20 foot ladder for $70. The cheapest ones I have seen at Lowes are at least $100.

We found ours at Sam's Club and the quality beats anything else we found. If you have a buddy to hold the bottom half of the rod, there's no need for two ladders.

We have 20 ft. ceilings and painted our entire house ourselves. It wasn't hard, just a lot of work, but it was worth it to save so much money!

Thank you!

I actually do know how to install blinds but I just cannot do it on the 4 windows we have at the top of that wall. I will check them out. Thanks!
