About Sherwood Forest

Local Window Treatment Experience in Sherwood Forest

Sherwood Forest is a neighborhood on the north edge of Nora, between 91st Street and 96th Street, with the Monon Trail on the west and Westfield Boulevard on the east. The Sherwood Forest Civic Association registered in 2001, and the area counts among Nora's recognized subdivisions. The plat was recorded in at least four sections, and the houses were built from 1959 to 1970 on Sherwood Lane, Nora Lane, Nottingham Drive, Pittwood Drive and East 96th Street, on lots between 0.46 and 0.63 acre. They're brick houses of about 1,860 to 2,330 square feet, some with wood or cedar accents, and sunrooms and covered front porches are common across the neighborhood, with no homeowners association collecting dues.</p><p style="font-size:16px;color:#4a5a6a;line-height:1.75;margin:16px 0 0">A window treatment plan in Sherwood Forest 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 Sherwood Forest 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 Sherwood Forest

Sherwood Forest houses run from about 1,860 to 2,330 square feet, and nearly all have brick exteriors. The oldest, from 1959, sit on Nora Lane, and the newest, from 1970, sit on East 96th Street. The exteriors combine brick with wood on Nora Lane and with cedar on Pittwood Drive, and the East 96th Street houses are brick and vinyl. Lots run from 0.46 acre on East 96th Street to 0.63 acre on Nottingham Drive, so the houses sit well apart under mature trees, and many have been updated inside over the last decade.

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 Sherwood Forest

Sunrooms are common here, some with ceramic tile floors on Sherwood Lane and some leading to a deck on Nottingham Drive. Many houses on Nottingham Drive have had their windows replaced in recent years with vinyl and thermal units. Replacement frames can sit at a different depth than the openings a 1960s house started with, so the crew checks depth before choosing an inside or outside mount. A sunroom has glass on several sides, so the crew measures each wall of the room and checks how much afternoon sun it takes before suggesting a shade.

We'll look at the way light enters your Sherwood Forest 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.

Look at the sunroom as a whole

We'll ask when the sunroom gets uncomfortable and look at the glass on each wall. A shade chosen for one exposure may need a different fabric on the next, so the plan follows how you use the room.

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.

Leave space for the raised treatment

We'll check where the fabric or slats sit when the treatment is raised. That matters when you want to keep the top of the glass clear or when the opening has little room above it.

What We Specify Here

Products to compare for your Sherwood Forest home

These are options to discuss during your Sherwood Forest 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.

Solar shades for sunroom glare

If daytime glare is the problem, a solar shade is an option to review in the room. We'll discuss what you can see through the fabric after dark before you choose it.

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.

Drapery where there's room to stack

Drapery can be considered where you'd like fabric to frame the opening. We'll check the wall beside the window so you can see how much room the panels would occupy when open.
