Window treatments are one of those home decisions that don't seem important until you live with the wrong ones for two years. Bad blinds don't break your house — they just quietly annoy you every morning when you open them, every night when you close them, every time the cord tangles or the sun blasts through at exactly the wrong angle in February when you're trying to read in the chair you bought specifically for that corner. Justin Sanders at 605 Blinds has built a business around the boring truth that good window treatments are mostly about getting the measurements right and the install crisp.
605 Blinds is a Sioux Falls custom window treatments operation — blinds, shades, shutters, motorized options, the whole stack — covering residential and light commercial across the metro. The model is straightforward: come to the house, measure properly, walk you through the options that actually fit your windows and your budget, install clean. No high-pressure showroom. No bait pricing. Justin shows up, the math is what the math is, the install gets done right the first time.
The thing most homeowners don't realize until they've lived through a bad installation is how much the install matters compared to the product. You can buy expensive shades and have them hung crooked, brackets misaligned, cords dangling at the wrong length, and the whole window looks worse than the cheap blind installed properly. Or you can buy a mid-tier product, get it measured to the millimeter and installed with care, and live with it for a decade with no complaints. The product is half the equation. The install is the other half. Justin treats both halves like they matter.
Where 605 Blinds fits in the Sioux Falls home-services lane is the local-installer position — bigger than a handyman with a drill, smaller than the national chains that send a different stranger every visit and don't know your house. You get one person who measured your windows, picked your hardware, and installed the result. If something's off six months later, you call the same number. That accountability disappears the moment the brand on the truck has a corporate phone tree on the other end of it.
The work covers everything from single-room replacements to whole-house projects, from straightforward roller shades to motorized options that integrate with smart-home setups, from light-filtering treatments for living spaces to blackout solutions for nurseries and master bedrooms. Justin will tell you what makes sense for your specific windows and your specific use case rather than steering you to whatever has the highest margin that month.
Mixed truth: custom window treatments aren't the cheap option, and Justin doesn't pretend they are. If your budget is "whatever Costco has in stock" or "the off-the-shelf at the big box," the math doesn't compare. What you're paying for is the fit, the materials, and the install that doesn't fight you for a decade. For homeowners who've lived with the cheap option once already, the call is easy.
