Why Columbia-Area Homeowners Choose Budget Blinds

Budget Blinds of Columbia is owned by a family-run team from Omaha. Three of our four owners are family. John MacKenzie bought his first Budget Blinds territory in 2013 after more than 30 years in the restaurant industry. Kurt Dudycha came home to Omaha after 27 years in Chicago. Twin brothers Adam and Ben MacKenzie bring engineering and design training to every project, and Ben MacKenzie has called Nashville home for over five years, so Middle Tennessee is home for part of our family too.

We also give back as a company. We support CASA organizations, which provide trained volunteer advocates for abused and neglected children, including the Nebraska CASA Association, where owner John MacKenzie serves on the board.

Project management, lighting design, and mechanical and electrical engineering shape how we plan your windows, controls and power. We think about:

• how you use each room, from morning light to evening privacy
• hot, humid Tennessee summers and strong afternoon sun on south- and west-facing windows
• kids, pets and child-safe options
• controls and automation that fit your home

When you work with us, you're not ordering from a website or guessing at measurements. A local design consultant comes to your home with solutions tailored to your windows, your lighting and your décor. It's a personal, neighbor-first experience, backed by the product selection, warranties and buying power of a trusted national brand.

Blinds, Shades, Shutters & Custom Drapery: Designed Around You

We offer a full range of custom window coverings, each selected and designed to fit your space:

• Shades: control light and privacy with roller, solar, cellular and woven wood shades. Available motorized.
• Blinds: a timeless, functional solution with wood and durable composite options. Available motorized.
• Shutters: long-term value with classic style and exceptional durability.
• Custom Drapery: softness, texture and design impact with tailored fabrics and finishes. Available motorized.
• Layered Solutions: combine shades and drapery for the right balance of function and style.

Middle Tennessee homes range from historic Columbia houses to new subdivisions with big windows. We help you cut heat and glare without giving up the view or the style.

Motorized Shades and Smart Home Window Coverings in Columbia

Upgrade your home with motorized window treatments designed for convenience, comfort and efficiency. We install Lutron, Somfy and the Budget Blinds Smart Home Collection in new builds and as retrofits. With motorization, you can:

• adjust shades with the touch of a button, a remote, an app or your voice
• set schedules for privacy and energy savings
• work with the smart home system you already use, including Alexa, Google Home and Apple Home
• reach tall, wide and hard-to-reach windows with ease
• skip the hanging cords, which makes your home safer for kids and pets

Motorized shades are a smart way to manage summer heat and daily light, and they make large, tall windows easy to control. Adam is a practicing electrical engineer and lighting designer, and Ben is a mechanical engineer, so we plan power and controls before we sell a single motor.

Outdoor Living: Awnings and Outdoor Shades in Columbia

Tennessee summers are hot and sunny, and porches and patios are used almost year-round. We install motorized SunPro retractable awnings and Elevista and Draper outdoor solar shades, plus outdoor drapery and outdoor rugs.

• Retractable awnings from SunPro (motorized): overhead shade you control, retracted when you want sun or weather turns
• Outdoor solar shades from Elevista and Draper: cut heat, glare and UV while keeping your view, with motorized options
• Outdoor drapery and rugs: privacy, shade and a finished look for porches and outdoor rooms
• Shade for pergolas, patios, decks, covered porches and outdoor kitchens

Trusted by Homeowners Across Columbia

Here's what one local homeowner shared:

“Brandon did an amazing job helping me decide which blinds to go with and the installation was exceptional. One of my windows required two blinds and the original ones didnt match up. Brandon called and had them send new ones and came back out to install. The new blinds let so much more sunlight in than my previous ones. Love them!”
