The West Metro’s Premier Window Treatment Specialist
From the open prairies of Otsego to the lakefront estates of Victoria, True North Blinds provides the final, essential element to your home. We specialize in transforming bare windows, combining 20 years of industry experience with a personalized, local approach.
A Local Partner Dedicated to Wright & Carver Homeowners
When you choose a window treatment provider, you deserve more than a salesperson with a catalog. True North Blinds is not a franchise, and we do not operate out of a national call center. Instead, we are a locally owned and independent business focused exclusively on the Western Metro.
We provide a white-glove service experience specifically tailored to the unique architecture and high standards of our neighbors in Wright and Carver Counties. Because we are local, we understand the specific environmental challenges of our region, from the intense afternoon sun on Lake Waconia to the prairie winds in St. Michael.
Designing the Perfect View: Our Specialized Solutions
Smart Home Integration & Motorization: Experience effortless control for the expansive “Great Room” windows found in the Western Metro’s newest luxury floor plans. Specifically, our motorized solutions allow you to manage privacy and light with a single touch or a pre-set schedule.
High-Performance Thermal Protection: We provide cellular shades engineered to handle the intense Minnesota seasons. These shades act as a thermal barrier, keeping your home cozy in winter while significantly reducing cooling costs in summer.
Modern Privacy Solutions: Achieve the perfect balance of natural light and seclusion. This is particularly vital for the high-density neighborhoods of Otsego, Rogers, and Victoria, where “Top-Down, Bottom-Up” designs allow you to enjoy the sky while maintaining complete street-level privacy.
Why Western Metro Homeowners Trust the True North Standard
True North Blinds was founded on a singular mission: to bring a higher level of expertise to the Western Metro. While our name is growing rapidly, our foundation is built on 20 years of deep industry experience in window treatment fabrication and professional installation.
We focus our operations within Wright and Carver Counties. By specializing in these communities, we ensure that every client receives an experience tailored to the unique architectural styles and high standards of our local neighborhoods. Whether it’s a modern development in St. Michael or a custom estate in Victoria, we provide the experience and local accountability that national franchises and big-box retailers cannot match.

Common Questions About Custom Window Treatments
How does an in-home consultation work with True North Blinds?
We bring the entire showroom experience directly to your living room. During our visit, we analyze your home’s unique needs, provide professional recommendations, and take laser-accurate measurements. Because we handle everything on-site, you can see exactly how your new treatments will look against your own paint colors and decor.
Can you automate windows in a “Great Room” with high ceilings?
We specialize in high-reach motorization for the expansive windows common in the Western Metro’s newest luxury floor plans. Whether you are in St. Michael or Victoria, our smart-home integrated shades allow you to control your privacy and light via a remote, smartphone app, or automated schedule.
What is the typical turnaround time for custom orders?
Most custom window treatments are manufactured and ready for professional installation within 3 to 5 weeks. Since we have deep roots in the fabrication side of the industry, we only partner with high-quality manufacturers who meet our standards for both durability and delivery.
Are your window treatments safe for homes with children and pets?
Safety is a primary pillar of our product selection process. We prioritize cordless and motorized solutions that comply with the latest ANSI/WCMA safety standards. Because we understand the needs of active families in communities like St. Michael and Victoria, we offer automated systems that remove dangling cords entirely, providing you with peace of mind without sacrificing modern aesthetic or functionality.
