Common Curtain Rod Questions Answered
Here are answers to the questions I hear most about curtain rod installation.
How much does curtain rod installation cost?
Curtain rod installation starts at $150 for a minimum service call covering 1-2 windows. Per-window pricing runs $50-100 depending on rod weight, bracket count, and wall type when scheduling multiple rooms.
Do I need to buy the rods first?
Yes, please have your curtain rods purchased and on-site before scheduling. I install customer-supplied rods from West Elm, IKEA, Home Depot, Pottery Barn, and any other source.
Can you hang the curtains too?
Yes, I can hang curtain panels after installing the rod for an additional fee per window. If you want them hung to a specific break length or pleat style, let me know in advance.
How high should curtain rods be mounted?
The industry standard for a tall, elegant look is 4-6 inches above the window frame, or as close to the ceiling as possible. Mounting wider than the window, about 6-12 inches per side, makes windows look larger.
Can you install rods on brick or plaster?
Yes, I mount on drywall, plaster, brick, concrete block, and tile using the appropriate anchors and fasteners for each surface type.

Curtain rod installation involves positioning and anchoring the brackets that support the rod at the right height and projection from the wall, then mounting the rod itself level across the full span of the window or opening. Standard bracket mounting goes into wall studs or drywall anchors depending on whether studs fall in useful positions, and the type of anchor matters for heavier drapery: a pair of heavy velvet panels on a decorative iron rod puts significantly more load on the brackets than lightweight linen or sheer fabric. Common rod types include standard round rods in wood, metal, or resin, double-rod systems for sheer and blackout layering, traverse rods for pinch-pleat drapes, and ceiling-mount track systems for room dividers or full-window floor-to-ceiling treatments.
In Twin Cities homes, curtain rod installation is a common move-in service and a frequent request after a repaint when window treatments need to go back up with consistent height and positioning across multiple rooms. Mounting rods higher than the window frame, often 4 to 6 inches above or near the ceiling, and wider than the window opening, typically 6 to 12 inches beyond each side of the casing, creates a taller, broader visual effect that makes windows and rooms look larger. Getting this sizing and positioning consistent across all windows in a room or throughout a home requires planning the measurements before any brackets go in.
