What to include in your curtain rod installation project

Windows and rods

Count windows and record the opening width, rod length, and curtain type. Include corner windows or multiple openings that need a coordinated installation.

Position and support

Show the space above and beside each window, bracket hardware, and trim. Describe your preferred rod height and extension beyond the opening, then discuss the attachment method.

Existing holes and finishing

Explain whether old brackets need removal or previous holes need repair. State whether hanging curtains, leveling, paint touch-up, and cleanup are included.

What affects the quote in Chicago?

Independent pros quote the actual work. Compare the scope as well as the price, including these details:

Number and arrangement of windows
Rod and curtain size and weight
Mounting surface, hardware, and access height
Old-bracket removal, hole repair, and curtain hanging

Posting is free. Pro responses and availability vary. Confirm materials, qualifications for the work, timing, and the complete price before hiring.

Prepare for the visit

1. Measure each window separately
Record width and clearance around the opening. Do not assume similar-looking windows have identical dimensions or mounting surfaces.
2. Share hardware and wall photos
Include the rod and bracket model, supplied fasteners, and wall material if known. Note plaster, visible brick, or trim that should not be drilled.
3. Confirm installation permission
For a Chicago rental, check the work is authorized and explain any mounting restrictions. Agree on placement before drilling and on the condition to leave after the job.

Example project description

Curtain rod installation in Chicago: your questions

Can a handyman install curtain rods in a Chicago rental?

Yes, when you are authorized to arrange the work and an interested pro is a fit for the installation. Confirm permission and any restrictions, then share the window measurements, wall surface, and hardware before hiring.

Will curtain hanging be included?

Include that in the description and agreement. Installing brackets and rods, hanging curtains, and repairing old holes are distinct tasks, so confirm which ones the price covers.

What if I do not know whether the wall is plaster?

Say that in the post and add close-up and wide photos around the window. Ask the pro to assess the surface and attachment method rather than assuming the supplied fasteners are suitable.
