Metro guides
Apartment building guides by metro
Each metro page maps local apartment and multifamily stock to housing-archetype field guides — mounting depth, typical sizes, and reorder specs. We ship nationwide from Texas; professional install is available in Dallas–Fort Worth only.
Northeast
New York City
Manhattan, Brooklyn, Queens, and older Jersey waterfront stock mix pre-war walk-ups, post-war elevator buildings, and converted loft wings — each with different jamb depth, guard rules, and slider modules. Start with the housing archetype that matches your stock, not a generic blinds page.

Boston
Boston, Cambridge, Somerville, and Quincy carry dense triple-decker and stacked-flat inventory — uneven double-hungs, plaster returns, and rear sliders that do not share one window module across floors.
View metro guide →Midwest
Chicago
Chicago, Evanston, Oak Park, and Berwyn carry classic Midwest flat-type stock — three-flats, six-flats, courtyard walk-ups, and post-war garden wings with repeatable but not identical openings.
View metro guide →Upper Midwest
Minneapolis–St. Paul
Minneapolis, St. Paul, Richfield, and Bloomington mix double bungalows, fourplexes, and Depression-era courtyard walk-ups — stock that rewards material-specific mounting notes, not one-size suburban assumptions.
View metro guide →Pacific Northwest
Seattle
Seattle, Bellevue, Capitol Hill, and Ballard carry craftsman duplexes, small walk-up courts, and post-war courtyard wings — markets where faux wood upgrades living rooms when depth allows, and vinyl mini leads bedroom turns.
View metro guide →Pacific Northwest
Portland
Portland, Beaverton, Gresham, and Hillsboro carry streetcar-era fourplexes, 1920s–1940s courtyard walk-ups, and inner-eastside duplex stock — distinct from Seattle craftsman inventory, with wide trim, ground-floor moisture exposure, and faux-wood-heavy living-room specs.
View metro guide →Southern California
Los Angeles
Hollywood, Silver Lake, Koreatown, and the Valley carry iconic dingbat and courtyard stock — low-rise walk-ups with parking-lot fronts, repetitive but not identical slider and bedroom modules.
View metro guide →Southern California
San Diego
San Diego, Oceanside, Carlsbad, and Chula Vista carry coastal stucco walk-ups, 1960s–1980s courtyard blocks, and newer mid-rise infill — distinct from LA dingbats, with marine-layer moisture and balcony slider modules.
View metro guide →Northern California
San Francisco Bay Area
San Francisco, Oakland, Berkeley, San Jose, and Alameda carry Victorian and Edwardian flats, 1920s stucco walk-ups, and post-war courtyard blocks — not LA dingbats, with bay windows, shallow jambs, and outside-mount-heavy turnover specs.
View metro guide →North Texas
Dallas–Fort Worth
DFW carries some of the highest garden-style and inner-ring multifamily volume in the Sun Belt — plus master-planned production adjacent to dense apartment corridors in Irving, Arlington, Bedford, and north Dallas.
View metro guide →Gulf Coast
Houston
Katy, Cypress, Sugar Land, Pearland, and The Woodlands mix garden-style walk-ups, large 1980s–2000s slab communities, and fast-growing production housing — PMs need repeatable specs, not retail one-offs.
View metro guide →Gulf Coast
New Orleans
New Orleans, Metairie, and the North Shore carry shotgun doubles, camelbacks, and raised cottages — narrow openings, historic trim, rear French doors, and Gulf humidity that favors PVC products over wood blinds.
View metro guide →Desert Southwest
Phoenix
Gilbert, Chandler, Mesa, Scottsdale, and Surprise carry dense garden-style inventory alongside fast-growing production subdivisions — similar turnover SKUs, different mount depth assumptions.
View metro guide →Southeast
Atlanta
Alpharetta, Marietta, Roswell, and intown corridors carry garden-style walk-ups, 1990s–2010s slab communities, and fast-growing production adjacency — PMs standardize on white vinyl mini and 78" verticals.
View metro guide →Southeast
Charlotte
Charlotte, Raleigh, Durham, and Greensboro carry dense 1980s–2000s garden-style and slab apartment corridors — PM turnover stock that deserves Carolina-specific archetype guides beyond generic Southeast production-home pages.
View metro guide →Southeast
Florida
Miami, Tampa, Orlando, Jacksonville, and Fort Lauderdale mix condo towers, townhome HOAs, and production lanai plans — each with white-front rules, slider modules, and humidity exposure that differ from inland garden-style stock.
View metro guide →Mid-Atlantic
Philadelphia
Philadelphia, Wilmington, and Camden carry classic Mid-Atlantic rowhouse and flat stock — narrow frontage, stacked floors, and party-wall openings that punish suburban mount assumptions.
View metro guide →Mid-Atlantic
Washington, D.C.
Washington, Arlington, Alexandria, and inner Maryland suburbs carry rowhouse flats, small walk-up conversions, and post-war garden wings — stock that overlaps Mid-Atlantic rowhouse mounting notes.
View metro guide →Southern Plains
Oklahoma & Kansas
Oklahoma City, Tulsa, Wichita, Kansas City, and Overland Park mix garden-style walk-ups, small slab communities, and ranch-style rental stock — markets we ship to from Texas with DFW-only professional install.
View metro guide →Front Range
Denver
Denver, Aurora, Broomfield, Parker, and Colorado Springs mix garden-style walk-ups, 1990s–2010s slab communities, and fast-growing production subdivisions along the Front Range.
View metro guide →Desert Southwest
Las Vegas
Las Vegas, Henderson, North Las Vegas, Summerlin, and Skye Canyon carry dense garden-style inventory and fast-growing desert production communities — PMs standardize on white vinyl mini and wide patio verticals.
View metro guide →Southeast
Nashville
Franklin, Murfreesboro, Mount Juliet, and Nashville intown corridors mix garden-style walk-ups, 2000s slab communities, and fast-growing production adjacency across Middle Tennessee.
View metro guide →Central Texas
San Antonio
San Antonio, Schertz, Cibolo, New Braunfels, and Universal City mix garden-style walk-ups, military-adjacent apartment corridors, and fast-growing production subdivisions.
View metro guide →Central Texas
Austin
Austin, Round Rock, Cedar Park, Georgetown, and San Marcos mix 1980s garden-style near core corridors, 2000s slab suburbs, student-adjacent fourplexes, and downtown podium infill — Central Texas PM turnover specs distinct from San Antonio military corridors.
