About Orchard Acres

Local Window Treatment Experience in Orchard Acres

Orchard Acres, recorded in places as McFarland's Orchard Acres, sits on the south side of Nora near Williams Creek. Its houses stand on East 82nd Street, East 84th Street, Central Avenue and North College Avenue, built between 1940 and 1962. Many parcels are parts of original lots with measured dimensions, because the original lots were divided into smaller pieces over time, and lots now run from about 0.31 to 0.74 acre. Williams Creek, part of Nora's southern boundary, runs close to several of the houses, and the Monon Trail is a short walk away. Sizes run from about 900 square feet in the 1940s cottages to about 3,800 in the largest houses, and the plat has no association.</p><p style="font-size:16px;color:#4a5a6a;line-height:1.75;margin:16px 0 0">A window treatment plan in Orchard Acres starts with your own rooms. We'll use the housing details here as background, then check the openings and ask how you use the space. Your in home design consultation is free. We'll look at your openings and talk through the rooms you're planning to cover.

We offer repairs only on treatments The Window Valet installed or has serviced before. If we haven't worked on your treatments, we'll book a consultation for new ones. We have served Orchard Acres homeowners through the full range of window treatment needs, from inspections and repairs to full replacements. Whatever the system, our Nora crew approaches every project with clear communication and respect for your property.

The Housing Here

Housing and window planning in Orchard Acres

Orchard Acres houses run from about 900 to 3,800 square feet. The oldest, from 1940, are cottages on the smaller lots of about 0.31 acre on East 84th Street, and the newest, from 1962, sit on Central Avenue on the largest lots, near 0.74 acre. Exteriors are mostly brick, with cement siding on some and stone on the larger houses along East 82nd Street, where covered porches and screened in porches add outdoor rooms. Because the plat grew over two decades and the lots were subdivided along the way, neighboring houses can differ widely in age and size.

The neighborhood's housing gives us a starting point for the visit. We'll still measure your house individually, including any openings that have changed during an update. If you're replacing windows as part of the project, let us know before the treatments are ordered so the plan can use the finished frames.

What It Means For Your Windows

What to check at the windows in Orchard Acres

Picture windows are the feature to plan around in this plat. Some houses on East 84th Street have huge picture windows, one with a floor to ceiling window wall, and others carry a large window at the entry. Openings that size usually call for a single wide shade or drapery panels that stack clear of the glass. Replacement windows are common, with new windows going into houses on East 84th Street and Central Avenue in the last fifteen years, so the crew checks frame depth at each house. Some houses on North College Avenue keep original marble window ledges, which affect where an inside mounted shade can sit.

We'll look at the way light enters your Orchard Acres rooms and check how the windows operate. The treatment needs to suit the opening when it's lowered and when it's raised. That includes the space for the hardware and the access you'll need to use the window.

Keep the picture window view in mind

We'll ask how much of the view you want to keep when the treatment is lowered. A wide opening also needs a check of the product's size limits and the space for its hardware.

Treat the view wall as a connected group

We'll look across the full wall of glass and measure each opening separately. Matching the visual line matters, and each treatment still needs room to move without hitting the next one.

Check the mounting depth

We'll measure the usable space inside each frame before recommending an inside mount. If the headrail would project too far, we'll discuss an outside mount and show where it would sit.

Choose privacy for the room

We'll ask what the room needs after dark as well as during the day. A sample held against the actual glass gives you a better starting point than choosing from a small picture.

What We Specify Here

Products to compare for your Orchard Acres home

These are options to discuss during your Orchard Acres consultation. We'll narrow the choice after seeing the glass and learning which rooms you're working on. You can review a coordinated plan for the house or start with the rooms that need attention first.

Roller shades for picture windows

A roller shade is an option when you'd like the treatment to roll away from the view. We'll compare light filtering fabric with a darker room option against how you use that space.

Solar shades for a view wall

Solar fabric is worth comparing when glare makes a view wall difficult to use. We'll review nighttime privacy as part of that choice because a daytime view doesn't tell you how the room looks after dark.

Roller shades for everyday light control

A roller shade is an option to compare when you'd like the treatment to roll out of the way. We'll review the fabric in the room and discuss how much privacy you need at night.

Cellular shades for room by room coverage

A cellular shade is worth comparing where you'd like a compact treatment at the window. We'll look at the opening and discuss how much daylight you want when it's lowered.
