About Northcroft

Local Window Treatment Experience in Northcroft

Northcroft is a small plat on Carrollton Avenue in the 4600 and 4700 blocks, just north of the Woodcroft plat and beside the Monon Trail, and the Northcroft Addition name reaches East 49th Street as well. The houses date from 1910 to 1932, with lots on Carrollton Avenue of about 5,800 square feet and sizes from about 1,100 to 1,900 square feet. A Woodcroft house stands in the 4500 block of the same street, so the two plats run one after the other along Carrollton Avenue. Residents often call this stretch SoBro, a nickname used through this part of Meridian-Kessler, and the plat has no homeowners association. Covered porches and narrow lots give the street the look of the 1910s and 1920s bungalow blocks east of College Avenue.</p><p style="font-size:16px;color:#4a5a6a;line-height:1.75;margin:16px 0 0">A window treatment plan in Northcroft starts with your own rooms. We'll use the housing details here as background, then check the openings and ask how you use the space. Your in home design consultation is free. We'll look at your openings and talk through the rooms you're planning to cover.

We offer repairs only on treatments The Window Valet installed or has serviced before. If we haven't worked on your treatments, we'll book a consultation for new ones. We have served Northcroft homeowners through the full range of window treatment needs, from inspections and repairs to full replacements. Whatever the system, our Meridian-Kessler crew approaches every project with clear communication and respect for your property.

The Housing Here

Housing and window planning in Northcroft

The 1910 houses in the 4700 block are classic bungalows, with a wood and brick exterior, a covered porch and about 1,430 finished square feet. The 1924 houses in the 4600 block have cement siding and about 1,070 finished square feet. The 1932 houses on East 49th Street are a story and a half with about 1,900 finished square feet, a covered porch and a rear deck, over an unfinished basement that holds the laundry. Finished areas across the plat run from about 1,100 to 1,900 square feet, and the lots are narrow, which puts side windows close to the neighbors.

The neighborhood's housing gives us a starting point for the visit. We'll still measure your house individually, including any openings that have changed during an update. If you're replacing windows as part of the project, let us know before the treatments are ordered so the plan can use the finished frames.

What It Means For Your Windows

What to check at the windows in Northcroft

Many of the 1910 bungalows here have had most of their windows replaced, with a few older units left in place. Bungalows built between 1910 and 1932 commonly started with double hung wood windows, and a house that mixes old and replacement units can have frame depths and sash heights that differ from room to room. The crew measures each opening on its own and checks how deep each frame is before settling on a mount. Covered porches on the 1910 and 1932 houses shade the front windows, so those rooms need less from a shade than the sunny side.

We'll look at the way light enters your Northcroft rooms and check how the windows operate. The treatment needs to suit the opening when it's lowered and when it's raised. That includes the space for the hardware and the access you'll need to use the window.

Work around the wood trim

We'll look at the wood casing and check how both sashes operate. If you want to keep the trim visible, the depth of the opening decides which inside mounted products are worth considering.

Check the mounting depth

We'll measure the usable space inside each frame before recommending an inside mount. If the headrail would project too far, we'll discuss an outside mount and show where it would sit.

Choose privacy for the room

We'll ask what the room needs after dark as well as during the day. A sample held against the actual glass gives you a better starting point than choosing from a small picture.

Leave space for the raised treatment

We'll check where the fabric or slats sit when the treatment is raised. That matters when you want to keep the top of the glass clear or when the opening has little room above it.

What We Specify Here

Products to compare for your Northcroft home

These are options to discuss during your Northcroft consultation. We'll narrow the choice after seeing the glass and learning which rooms you're working on. You can review a coordinated plan for the house or start with the rooms that need attention first.

Wood blinds beside existing wood trim

Wood blinds are an option where you'd like the finish to work with the casing. We'll compare the sample in the room and check whether the headrail fits the opening.

Roller shades for everyday light control

A roller shade is an option to compare when you'd like the treatment to roll out of the way. We'll review the fabric in the room and discuss how much privacy you need at night.

Cellular shades for room by room coverage

A cellular shade is worth comparing where you'd like a compact treatment at the window. We'll look at the opening and discuss how much daylight you want when it's lowered.

Drapery where there's room to stack

Drapery can be considered where you'd like fabric to frame the opening. We'll check the wall beside the window so you can see how much room the panels would occupy when open.
