Sunburst Shutters & Window Fashions is a specialty window covering retailer in Oklahoma City that designs, manufactures, and installs shutters, blinds, shades, and motorized systems for residential homes. The company operates as a direct-to-consumer shop, meaning customers work with in-house designers rather than ordering from a national catalog, and all products are custom-fitted to individual window dimensions. It functions as both a showroom and installation operation, serving the Oklahoma City metro area.
The business positions itself between big-box retailers and independent contractors. Unlike Home Depot or Lowe's, which sell standard-size blinds and coordinate installation through third parties, Sunburst measures windows on-site, manufactures products to exact specifications, and handles installation directly. Unlike a one-person blind-hanging contractor, the company maintains a physical location with product samples, employs multiple installers, and offers design consultation as part of the sales process. The showroom allows customers to see material options and operational styles in person before committing to an order.
Sunburst offers shutters (interior plantation-style and exterior), roller shades, cellular shades, Roman shades, vertical blinds, and motorized systems compatible with smart-home controls. Pricing varies significantly by product type and window count. Interior shutters typically range from $15 to $40 per square foot depending on material (wood vs. composite) and louver size. Roller and cellular shades run $8 to $25 per window for standard residential sizes. Motorized upgrades add $300 to $800 per window depending on the system and whether existing products are retrofitted. Installation is quoted after an in-home or showroom measurement; labor costs vary by project scope but are generally included in the total estimate rather than billed separately. Confirm current pricing directly, as material costs and promotional pricing shift seasonally.
Home Depot and Lowe's offer faster ordering (online or in-store) with installation scheduled within 1 to 2 weeks, but installers are not employees and windows are measured by appointment only. Their inventory consists of catalog sizes, so custom dimensions require special order or partial coverage. Sunburst's advantage is full customization without waiting for warehouse fulfillment; the company manufactures in-house, reducing lead time to 2 to 3 weeks for most products. If you need standard sizes quickly and price is the primary concern, big-box retailers are cheaper. If your windows are odd-sized, you want motorized controls integrated from the start, or you prefer working with the same company from design through installation, Sunburst is the better fit.
Local independent contractors and franchises like Budget Blinds also serve Oklahoma City but typically operate as mobile consultants without a showroom. They offer similar customization but require scheduling a home visit before seeing samples. Sunburst's showroom lets you test shutter weight, see how different louver widths look, and adjust motorized systems hands-on before placing an order.
Sunburst works well for homeowners with multiple windows needing coordinated treatments, homes with non-standard or large windows, and customers wanting motorized or smart-home integration. It also suits people who value seeing physical products and working with a designer in-person rather than ordering online. It is less ideal for renters needing temporary solutions or anyone on a strict timeline requiring installation within days rather than weeks.
Customers typically schedule a free in-home estimate or visit the showroom to review options. If visiting the showroom, bring window measurements or photos. An in-home visit includes a technician measuring windows, discussing light control and privacy needs, and presenting material and style options with pricing. Once you select products and colors, manufacturing begins; installation is scheduled once products are ready, usually 2 to 3 weeks later.
Verification needed: confirm current hours and phone number by calling or checking the business directly, as showroom hours may vary seasonally. The showroom location is accessible by car with standard parking. Installation is performed Monday through Friday during business hours; some same-week scheduling may be available for small projects. In-home estimates are offered at times convenient to the customer.
For homeowners balancing custom fit, design input, and local service, Sunburst fills the gap between impersonal big-box ordering and the uncertainty of hiring an independent contractor. Its combination of showroom access and in-house manufacturing makes it a practical choice for multi-window projects and non-standard dimensions common in Oklahoma City homes.
