What Window Treatment Replacement Costs in Lebanon
Pricing ranges, what actually drives them, and what a written quote covers for Lebanon homeowners.
Lebanon's median house dates to 1976, and the 1940 to 1979 era is 43.1% of the parcel record, the biggest block in town. That era also has the least specialty glass of any, so there are no arches to template and no two-story walls to reach. What you get instead is a wide front picture window, aluminum sliders through the 1960s and 1970s, and half-height basement glass in the split-levels. The count is usually modest. Mounting is what decides the price.

- Window treatments repair (most jobs): Restringing, a cord lock swap, a new clutch or chain tensioner, a bracket reset: repair work like this sits below where the national custom range even starts, which is $250 a window. Pricing is per unit and comes after we've had the mechanism apart, because a 1970s Lebanon headrail sometimes has no serviceable part left in it.

Typical Window Treatments Costs in Lebanon
Pricing ranges below reflect typical Lebanon market installations per window installed. Final quote depends on how many openings you are covering, their sizes, the product tier, whether any are out of square or a specialty shape, and whether you motorize.
Pricing is per window installed in the Lebanon market as of 2026. The plus sign on upper numbers means your project may exceed the listed maximum based on inspection findings.
Factors That Affect Window Treatments Cost in Lebanon
Two houses with the same number of windows can price very differently. Here is what actually moves the number.
How Many Openings, and How Big
The opening count is the largest single driver, and opening size is close behind, because headrail length and fabric yardage do not scale in a straight line. After that it is the product tier: faux wood blinds and basic roller shades sit at the bottom, cellular and solar fabrics in the middle, shutters and drapery at the top. Specialty shapes such as arches, angles, bays and sliding door widths cost more than their square footage suggests, because they are fabricated one at a time.
Opening Squareness and Depth
Openings that are out of square, casing too shallow to take an inside mount, plaster or masonry needing different anchors, and specialty shapes all add labor. That is what the three-point measure and the diagonal check are for, and it is why we would rather find it before you order than on install day. Hidden damage on aging window treatments is common and is scoped separately.
Access and Logistics
High openings, two-story great rooms, transoms and anything needing a lift cost more to install. Hardwired motorization adds licensed electrical time on top, which is why battery motors run roughly $100 to $300 a window less than hardwired.
Warranty Target
Warranty terms come from the manufacturer of the product installed and vary by brand and line. Many custom interior products carry limited lifetime coverage on the mechanism with shorter terms on fabric, motors and batteries. Motor and battery coverage is almost always shorter, so ask for the written warranty on the specific product quoted.
See What Each Fabric Does To The Light
Fabric choice moves the number about as much as size does, and it moves how the room feels a lot more. Pick one below and the window updates.
Openness factor is a measured fabric spec, so you can compare it line to line. The category names are not measured. One maker's room darkening can behave like another maker's light filtering, which is why the sample books come to the measure and get opened in the room they're going in, at the hour that room has the problem.
What Happens Between the Quote and the Install in Lebanon
There is no claim and no adjuster in this trade. Window treatments are a planned purchase, so the money questions are different: what the deposit is, how long fabrication takes, and what is actually written down before anything gets ordered. Custom product generally runs two to five weeks from order to install depending on the product line and the finish, and longer on specialty shapes, motorized configurations and commercial submittals. If you are working toward a holiday, a move-in date or a listing, tell us the date at the measure and we will work backwards from it rather than quoting you a range.
Indiana has no statewide license for this trade, but the Indiana Home Improvement Contract Act at IC 24-5-11 does apply to residential work over $150, which is essentially every job we do. That means a written contract with your name and property address, our details, a reasonably detailed description of the work, start and completion dates, and the total price. Lebanon Window Treatments writes the light gap, the mount type, the roll direction and the battery expectation into that scope too, because those are the four things people find out too late.
What Moves the Number on a Lebanon House
Aluminum sliders with no flat stop
The 1960s and 1970s frames are the hard case in Lebanon. A horizontal aluminum slider leaves very little flat surface inside the opening, so an inside mount either will not fit or ends up with the shade rubbing the window frame every time it moves. The usual answer is to mount outside the opening on the wall, sized wider and taller than the glass, with hardware into anchors or into whatever trim exists. That changes the panel size and it changes what each opening costs.
Counterweight pockets downtown
Almost 17% of Lebanon houses predate 1940, and they sit around the Courthouse Square and through Elmwood. Wood jambs with applied casing, and window weights still sitting in their pockets. Depth is normally plenty. Square is not something to count on. The casing is worth something here, because an outside mount can land on the trim and look deliberate instead of improvised. These openings come back as individual sizes rather than repeats, and custom work nationally lands between $250 and $2,600 per window installed.
Ulen is a separate town
Ulen is its own incorporated municipality, 0.23 square miles and 114 people, surrounded on every side by Lebanon. The houses along its streets are Colonial Revival, Tudor Revival and Mediterranean Revival from the 1920s through the 1960s, sitting around the country club. They carry deeper casing and far fewer repeatable sizes than the rest of town. The town line itself is not a pricing line. The houses are what differ, because more of the openings in them need custom sizing.
The newer sections on the edge
Cedar Ridge, the Maple Street Collection, Angilee Gardens and Corbett Towns are where the current building is happening, and 40% of the city is 1980 or newer with drywall returns and generous depth. Those openings take an inside mount cleanly and the sizes repeat from room to room, so most of a house like that stays at the stock end, which nationally means $60 to $600 a window. Per opening, it is the least expensive condition anywhere in Lebanon.
Three Lebanon houses, scoped
The front picture window is wide enough that it either takes a heavier headrail or gets split into two panels sharing one head, and that decision is most of the cost in the room. Everything else is a small bedroom opening in a narrow jamb, where a 2 inch faux wood or a shallow cellular fits if the depth is there. Most of the money in this house sits in one unit.
Sliders on the main level, and downstairs the glass is half-height and set high in the wall. A blind cut to a normal drop looks wrong on an opening that wide and that short, so those rooms want a shorter product or a panel hung above the frame. The count here is moderate and hardly anything repeats, which surprises owners who assumed a smaller house meant a smaller order.
Square openings, drywall returns, and one bedroom size that shows up in three or four rooms. This is the straightforward house in town. Bedrooms and baths first, front rooms next, and a later phase orders quickly and matches what is already up. Cordless stock product made to ANSI/WCMA A100.1-2022 handles nearly every opening in a house of this vintage, and that standard describes the product rather than the installer.
Lebanon's range is wide because the housing is. One street can put an 1890s house next to a 1970s split, and those two do not quote alike at any window count. Nobody can tell you what your house runs without getting inside it with a tape measure.

About Lebanon Homes
Lebanon's median house dates to 1976. Build era shares on the parcel record run pre-1940 16.9%, 1940-1979 43.1%, 1980-1999 20.4%, 2000-2019 17.9%, 2020+ 1.7%. Median home value is $195,600. Three regimes and the middle one dominates. 16.9% is pre-1940 with real wood jambs, applied casing and sash weight pockets. 43.1% is 1940-1979, which is where the hard cases live: 1950s frame with narrow jambs, and 1960s-70s aluminum slider frames that leave very little flat surface for an inside mount. Only 40.0% is 1980 or newer with drywall returns and generous depth. Classical Revival civic architecture on the courthouse square; late nineteenth century Victorian, including the 1893 Cragun House; 1920s-1960s Colonial Revival, Tudor Revival and Mediterranean Revival in Ulen; Cape Cod and minimal traditional, 1940s-1950s; 1960s-70s ranch, tri level and split level.

Recent Weather Patterns
Central Indiana sits in IECC climate zone 5A, which means a real cooling load and a real heating load on the same window. NOAA's 1991-2020 normals for Indianapolis put the July average high at 85.2F, the January average high at 36.1F and the January average low at 20.9F, with the muggy season running May 25 to September 22. Better established than any other town in this batch, because Lebanon's stock is older. 1,275 units predate 1940 and 4,528 - 60.0% - predate 1980, so the residential streets radiating from the courthouse square carry canopy between forty five and a hundred and thirty years old.
What Our Crew Sees in Lebanon
Lebanon's dominant era is 1940-1979, which is the era with the least specialty glass of any: a wide front picture window on the 1950s Cape Cods and minimal traditionals, aluminum horizontal sliders through the 1960s and 1970s, and half height lower level openings on the split levels. Active new construction includes Cedar Ridge, Maple Street Collection, Angilee Gardens, Corbett Towns.

Ask about this offerFree Motorization Upgrade on Select Interior Shades
Pick from the qualifying interior shade lines and the motorization upgrade is free. It is worth most on the openings you would otherwise leave alone: tall great room glass, anything above a stair, and the west windows nobody remembers to close by four.
Select interior shade lines only. We will tell you at the measure which of your openings qualify. Batteries are a real running cost and are not included.
