Local Window Treatment Experience in Elmwood
A house listing between $850,000 and $1,500,000 in a city whose median home value is $195,600 is not a larger version of the local norm. It's a different building type. At that band in central Indiana you're generally looking at 24 to 40 openings rather than the 14 to 22 a mid market Lebanon house carries, and the shapes stop repeating: two story great room glass, arched and palladian units, bay and bow windows, transoms over the principal openings, and a wide multi panel run of rear glass facing the course. All of that is flagged as inference from the price band, because no Elmwood plan set was reachable in any public source.</p><p style="font-size:16px;color:#4a5a6a;line-height:1.75;margin:16px 0 0">The one thing about Elmwood that isn't inference is the exposure. Golf course frontage means a rear wall looking at open mown fairway with no shade structure and no neighboring wall to break the angle, across a sightline longer than any subdivision lot offers. Low sun runs the whole length of it. That's a solar control problem before it's a decorating problem, and on a two story glass wall it's a reach problem as well, because the top of that glass sits 16 or 18 feet up and nobody is operating it by hand twice a day for long.
We have served Elmwood homeowners through the full range of window treatment needs, from inspections and repairs to full replacements. Whatever the system, our Lebanon crew approaches every project with clear communication and respect for your property.
Elmwood housing: what the $850,000 to $1,500,000 band actually supports
Here's the honest state of the record. Elmwood is sourced as a golf course community in Lebanon with listings at $850,000 to $1,500,000 as of 2026, and that's the extent of it. Build era: not sourced. Builder: not sourced. Home count, lot dimensions, story mix and square footage: not sourced. Boone County's parcel GIS at gis.boonecounty.in.gov returned an HTTP 523 and Indiana's statewide parcel layer carries no year built or subdivision name field, so there's no back door to those figures. Any page handing you an Elmwood home count invented it. We count and measure openings in the house instead, then price from finished width and finished height.
What the price band does support is a read on construction quality. Houses at 4.3 to 7.7 times a $195,600 citywide median value are custom or semi custom rather than production, and that reverses the usual era assumption about casing. Production houses built after 1980 use drywall returns. Custom houses at this price commonly use applied casing even when they're recent, which changes the inside mount decision at every opening in the house. So we don't infer Elmwood's mounting depth from a build year we don't have. We take depth at the head of each opening and specify from the tape.
Elmwood window profile: long fairway sightlines and glass out of reach
Count first, and treat it as an estimate. At this band we plan on 24 to 40 openings and prove the number with a written schedule at the measure. What comes with that count is shapes a production plan set doesn't carry: arched and palladian heads, bays and bows where one opening is really three or five separate finished widths, transoms above the principal openings, and a rear wall of large multi panel glass facing the course. Each of those is a separate specification. A bay isn't one shade. It's three, and the mount decision at each return post is what decides whether the corners leak light.
Then height. A two story great room glass wall puts the top of the glass out of reach, and two things follow from that. Stack height matters more, because a shade parked at the head of a 16 foot run still covers a foot or more of glass and you see all of it from the floor. And Lutron's published light gaps get worse as size increases: 3/4 inch per side on an inside mount Roller 20/64 is the baseline, and shades over 120 inches tall or past a 4:1 height to width ratio get larger gaps than that. On a fairway facing wall with nothing outside to soften it, those gaps read as bright lines.
A bay or bow is three finished widths, not one
At the Elmwood price band, bay and bow windows are normal rather than exceptional. Each facet gets its own finished width, its own 1/16 inch per side factory deduction and its own bracket set, and the return posts between facets are where light shows if the mount hasn't been planned. We decide facet by facet whether the treatment sits inside each opening or spans the whole bay from outside it. Those two answers look completely different from inside the room.
Applied casing where you'd expect a drywall return
The usual rule says anything built after 1980 has drywall returns and generous depth. Custom houses at $850,000 and up often use applied wood casing instead, even when they're recent, which changes what a headrail can land on. Because Elmwood's build era isn't sourced at all, we don't apply the rule here. Mounting depth gets measured at the head of every opening and the mount decision follows the tape rather than the assumption.
Stack height on a two story glass wall
On a great room wall, a shade fully raised still occupies real estate at the top of the glass, and from the floor of a two story room you see every inch of it. We calculate stack before the order rather than discovering it at the install, and where the top band matters we specify a smaller tube diameter or split the wall into two treatments. Past 120 inches of height or a 4:1 ratio, Lutron publishes larger light gaps as well.
Nothing outside the fairway glass to help
A rear wall facing open mown course has no fence line and no neighboring wall to cut the angle, so low sun runs the whole sightline into the room. A 5 percent openness solar shade keeps the course visible and takes the edge off. A 3 percent cuts more and gives up some view. Side channels are the honest answer where a room genuinely needs to go dark, because an inside mount on its own will not do it.
What we specify in Elmwood, and why it doesn't look like the rest of Lebanon
Elmwood is the only part of Lebanon where the job is routinely 24 to 40 openings with specialty shapes and glass out of reach, so the specification starts from operation and solar control rather than from a product list. Automation is a genuine answer here instead of an upsell, and so is drapery, which at this scale does work no hard treatment does. National pricing: motorized runs $300 to $1,500 per window installed, drapery $300 to $4,000 per window, shutters $175 to $800 and custom interior treatments $250 to $2,600. Lead time is 2 to 5 weeks. On a house carrying 30 openings, order the whole house at once so the dye lots match across rooms.
Motorized roller shades
Glass 16 or 18 feet up on an Elmwood great room wall doesn't get operated by hand, and a fairway facing room heats before anyone thinks to do something about it. A sun sensor or an astronomical timer closes the shade on schedule instead. Disclose the running cost up front: Hunter Douglas states PowerView battery life is about one year, so either budget the changes or hardwire. Motorized work runs $300 to $1,500 per window installed nationally.
Solar shades with side channels
On the rear wall facing open course, an inside mount shade leaves 3/4 inch per side of light gap by Lutron's own published figure, and on tall units it leaves more than that. Side channels close it down and turn a light filtering shade into something that darkens a room properly. Openness gets chosen on the sightline: 5 percent to keep the fairway visible, 3 percent where afternoon glare on a screen is the actual complaint.
Hardwood plantation shutters
Arched and palladian heads are where a movable treatment usually loses, and an Elmwood house at this band carries several of them. A templated fixed shutter panel matched to the shape holds the architecture and cuts the light, with an operating shutter in the rectangular opening below it. On tall units, divider rail placement is a design decision made at the measure rather than a default. Hardwood suits the dry rooms here. Keep it out of a bath that runs steam every day.
Custom drapery and top treatments
At 24 to 40 openings, drapery is what makes the rooms read as one house rather than a collection of separately treated windows. Pleat style, fullness and return depth get decided at the measure, and yardage follows from them. Two cautions worth hearing early: drapery runs $300 to $4,000 per window nationally, and dye lots shift between production runs, so a room added a year later won't match the first order exactly.
Elmwood, its course and Lebanon schools
Elmwood's boundaries were never published in a source we could reach, and no street name inside it was either, which is why the street list on this page is empty rather than filled with plausible guesses. The one landmark on record is the golf course the community is built around, and it's a separate course from the Ulen Country Club on the other side of the city. Schools run through the Lebanon Community School Corporation, which enrolled 3,381 students in 2019-2020 and carries a B rating from the Indiana Department of Education, with Lebanon Middle School and Lebanon Senior High School above elementary assignment set by address.
