About Brackets Custom Window Coverings
Brackets Custom Window Coverings has been the local source for custom window coverings in Ames, IA, and the surrounding Central Iowa communities since 1996. As a family-owned and operated business, we are deeply rooted in the communities we serve. Customers trust the Brackets team for well-crafted solutions, professional advice, and a warm showroom experience close to home.
Our Story & Commitment to the Ames Community
Founded in 1996, Brackets Custom Window Coverings began with a simple mission: to provide quality window coverings built for lasting style and function. As longtime residents of Ames, our family is committed to giving back to the community, creating local jobs, and supporting neighborhood events. Our team has helped transform homes and businesses across Ames, Ankeny, Huxley, Boone, Story City, and surrounding areas, focusing on long-term relationships over transactions.
Working closely with our customers and neighbors, we place high value on service, consistent communication, and true craftsmanship. Our commitment continues after installation with our one-year installation warranties, and we take pride in contributing to community spaces and leaving clients with window coverings that add value and visual appeal for years.
