Curtain Rod Installation FAQs

Dealing with wobbly ladders, ensuring rods are perfectly level, or struggling to find studs doesn’t have to ruin your decorating plans. We’ve compiled answers to the most common questions our clients ask about our professional curtain rod, drapery, and window hardware installation services.

Can you install curtain rods into drywall, or do you need to find a stud?

While securing into a wall stud is ideal for maximum strength, especially for heavy drapes, we are experts at securely mounting rods into drywall as well. For all installations that don’t hit a stud, we use heavy-duty anchors and toggles specifically designed to support significant weight. This guarantees that your rods will not sag or pull away from the wall, even with heavy blackout curtains.

Should the rod extend past the window frame, and do you help with measuring?

Yes, the rod typically extends 4 to 10 inches past the window frame on each side. This allows the curtains to stack outside the glass when open, maximizing natural light. While we rely on the customer to provide the rods, we always verify your measurements and help you determine the optimal height and width for your specific window treatment to ensure a polished, professional look.

Can you install specialty hardware like traverse rods, layered rods, or ceiling mounts?

Absolutely. We can handle all types of specialty hardware. This includes traverse rods (which use cords or wands to pull the curtains), double rods (for sheer and opaque layers), and complex ceiling-mounted track systems. Our focus is on precision mounting and ensuring all mechanical parts are aligned and glide smoothly before we finish the job.
