1. Do you offer blind resizing or cut-down services near Chicago?

Yes. MWT provides professional cut-down and resizing services for roller shades, cellular shades, dual-fabric shades, honeycomb shades, and pleated shades throughout Chicagoland. If your blinds or shades don’t fit, we can resize them to exact custom dimensions.

2. Can you resize blinds that are too wide for my window?
