Re-stringing day night shades

Yahoo Message Number: 12014
We are heading to Eugene and have a day night curtain that needs to have a new string put in. Does anyone have a suggestion of someone who can do that in Junction City or Eugene?

Thanks for the help.

Question: Did you have to remove the blind from behind the cornice covering to do this? If so how did you do that?

My shade next to the copilot seat has come unstrung and I need to get it repaired somewhere. I figured I would find a blind repair place somewhere...but I wasn't sure how they would know how to get to it behind this framework of the cornice.

Thanks,
magnamama

Magnamama - Not sure where you are now but we had some done in Eugene last month. South Willamette Drapery did it and the charge was $45.00 each. He did not take the valances down, just unsnapped the blinds and took them to his truck to restring them. If you need anything else, just drop me a line.

Looks like it is cheaper if you are in Texas!!

I am in Louisiana, but no time to deal with it here. I will be traveling to Austin, San Antonio and then to Tucson where it is is more likely I will have time to deal with it since I am also going to schedule some other service there next month. Tucson is where I will need a reference if possible. Thanks!

I don't know if my "valance" or cornice or whatever you want to call it, installed in my Magna is the same as yours. I do not see the configuration of screws like you wrote. I have the low voltage light strings that also go around the box, so I don't know if removal is the same. I think taking off the shade alone is going to be less of a problem. I see the metal strip at the base of it and those screws are easily removed. It is tight inside, but I can get help if I cannot get the shade off and on. It might pay to have someone do it at a blind repair business.

Thanks for the instructions!

Removal of the day/night shades is not difficult. There are two
ways to do it: One is to take the entire valance off by removing the screws on the top, two on each side, and the two or three holding the bottom against the wall. Then you take the entire window shade and valance to a shop and have it done.

The other method is to remove the bottom screws that released
pressure on shades. Then at the top a metal lock mechanism that you must push forward (or backwards) and pull down to release the shade.
It's a little more tricky than taking the valance off.

I have replaced all of my fabric valances with oak to match the
cabinets and have taken all of them apart to do the job. If it is a small window with just one shade, the easiest way is to remove the entire assembly.

Removal of the valance assembly is made much easier if you visit
your local tool shop and buy a long philips bit for your battery powered screwdriver. If you don't have one, buy a long blade philips screwdirver that allows you to take those four little screws out of the top of the valances.
