Shades & blinds in Jeremy Ranch

An established neighborhood on the west side

Jeremy Ranch sits just west of the Snyderville Basin near the top of Parleys Canyon, around 6,500 feet, with homes spread across hillsides around the Jeremy Ranch golf course and up toward East Canyon. It's one of the area's older planned neighborhoods, with many houses built from the 1980s onward. That age shows at the windows: original wood blinds, sun-rotted fabric shades and vertical blinds on sliders are still common, and most owners are ready for something cleaner.

Hillside homes, uneven sun

Because homes sit on slopes facing different directions, two houses on the same street can have completely different light. Some face east toward Park City and wake up early; others face the golf course and get the full afternoon sun. Decks and great rooms often look out over the valley or the fairways. We look at each wall's exposure before suggesting fabrics: solar shades where the view and glare both matter, cellular shades where older windows feel cold, and blackout for bedrooms.

Replacing vertical blinds on sliders

Sliding glass doors to the deck are a frequent question. Vertical blinds work, but many people find them noisy and dated. Options include a roller shade sized to the slider, a panel-track system or a motorized shade that's easy to raise when you're stepping outside. We'll measure the door, the handle clearance and the trim, and tell you which fits best.

Updating older windows

Older homes often have window openings that aren't perfectly square or have shallow sills. That affects whether an inside mount will look clean or whether an outside mount over the trim is better. We measure every opening at several points so the new shades hang straight and close properly. If a remodel is underway, it's best to measure after new windows and trim go in.

Wildlife and morning light

Moose and deer move through the neighborhood, and many owners like to watch them from the window at first light. A sheer or light-filtering shade lets you keep that view while softening the sun, and a dual shade adds privacy at night.
