Thompson Creek Window Company designs, manufactures, sells, and installs stronger, safer windows built specifically for your home and our unique climate. We have been customizing and manufacturing replacement windows, doors, gutters, siding and roofing in the Mid-Atlantic region since 1980. Our products deliver time and again, improving a home’s energy efficiency and increasing home values, curb appeal and sheer comfort. Our windows and gutter systems are custom manufactured, installed and serviced from our family owned and operated factory in Upper Marlboro, Maryland – eliminating costly and inefficient middle parties. We’re so sure you’ll love our products that we back everything up with our Thompson Creek No-Hassle Warranty and Buyer Protection Guarantee. At Thompson Creek, we’re your friends and neighbors. We’re proud of our history in the Mid-Atlantic region and proud to help our communities improve the comfort and conditions of their homes.
"THIS COMPANY IS THE WORSE COMPANY IN THE WORLD. DO NOT BUY THEIR WINDOWS. If I could give zero stars I would. They took our money up front and refuse to complete the job as per the contract. They sent the installer with no materials to do the job, TWICE. Exactly the same thing happened TWICE. I can't believe how bad they are. They will only refund our money based on their "buyer protection" contract which means we will be left with a hole in our bedroom window. They STOLE our old window, which was perfectly fine, and now want to remove the one they half installed (1 out of 3 we paid for) - this is the ONLY way they will give us our money back. THIS COMPANY IS THE WORSE COMPANY IN THE WORLD. DO NOT BUY THEIR WINDOWS."

If you're wondering whether repairing your blinds is worth it, consider the quality and age of your blinds. For high-end or custom blinds, repairing them can preserve their quality, functionality, and design, making repair a smart choice. Immediate repairs maintain the original look and performance. However, if your blinds are over six years old, extensively damaged, or of lower quality, replacing them might be more cost-effective, as new blinds offer better efficiency and modern technology. Weigh the repair costs against the benefits of replacement to make the best decision for your situation.
When damage undermines the integrity and appearance of your blinds, replacement becomes the clear option. You should replace your blinds when damage to slats or fabric prevents you from obtaining an exact match, thereby compromising appearance and function. Severe damage increases repair complexity and expense. Replacing blinds not only restores superior performance but also creates an opportunity for aesthetic upgrades and lasting benefits.
You should plan to replace your blinds at least every 10 years, with clear signs of wear, such as discoloration, deterioration, or functional issues, emerging by five years. Regular evaluation of style, quality, and performance supports an informed decision. While minor repairs may temporarily extend usability, a complete replacement secures optimal operation and updated design.
Establish a regular maintenance routine to keep your blinds looking and functioning their best. Clean them regularly with mild, specialized products and follow the manufacturer's recommended usage guidelines. UV-blocking window film can protect against fading and warping from sun exposure. Regular inspections and proactive maintenance will preserve their appearance and performance, extending their overall lifespan.
If you pull the blind string and it does not move, it indicates a malfunction in the mechanism, such as a broken cord, a jammed cord lock, or a stuck component. Inspect the string for breaks and examine the headrail for any obstructions. Replace the defective cord or cord lock as necessary to restore proper operation and maintain functionality.
Yes, you can replace your blind string yourself by using a replacement kit available at home improvement stores. Accurate measurement of the string diameter is essential for a perfect fit. Gather the necessary tools and follow the manufacturer’s instructions rigorously to secure a safe, lasting fix. If the task demands more time than anticipated, hiring a professional is advisable to avoid further damage.
