Large-Scale Blinds Installation in Broomfield, Colorado: 300 Blinds in 3 Days

By Francisco Zambrano September 09, 2025 0 comments

At Rocky Ridge Handyman, we pride ourselves on tackling everything from residential fixes to large-scale commercial projects. Our recent job at a new apartment complex in Broomfield, Colorado, demonstrated our team’s ability to deliver under pressure, adapt to tough site conditions, and partner successfully with large contractors.

Working with Midland Wholesale Blind, we were contracted to install 300 blinds throughout an entire apartment building at 1752 W 167th Ave, Broomfield, CO 80023. The catch? We had just three days to complete the installation — and no working elevators. Every set of blinds had to be hauled up the stairs by hand, with units reaching the 4th floor.

This project wasn’t just about installing blinds. It was about staging, logistics, endurance, and professionalism, the qualities contractors look for when choosing a reliable subcontractor.

Project Scope: 300 Blinds Across a Multi-Floor Apartment Complex

The newly constructed apartment building was set to welcome tenants soon. For property managers and developers, completing finishing touches on time is critical to maintaining schedules, occupancy deadlines, and financial goals.

Rocky Ridge Handyman was brought in by Midland Wholesale Blind to install 300 blinds across the property. Each apartment required precise installation to ensure uniformity, functionality, and long-term durability.

Our scope included:

Unloading and staging materials for 300 blinds.
Manually transporting blinds to upper floors via stairs due to non-functioning elevators.
Installing blinds across every unit with consistent alignment and secure anchoring.
Maintaining a fast pace to meet the strict 3-day deadline.

The Challenge: No Elevators, Tight Deadlines

While every project comes with challenges, this one stood out for two reasons:

1. Logistics Without Elevators

Moving large quantities of materials through stairwells is no easy task. With four floors of apartments to cover, every set of blinds had to be carried by hand. Careful planning was required to prevent damage to both the blinds and the building interior.

2. Three-Day Completion Window

Time was not on our side. Contractors and developers often work under hard deadlines, and delays in one phase can cause a domino effect for others. Our crew had to balance speed and precision — ensuring each installation was accurate while keeping pace with the demanding schedule.

The Solution: Staging and Team Efficiency

To overcome these challenges, our team implemented a strategic staging process.

Step 1: Organizing Materials by Floor
We broke down the delivery into manageable stages, sorting blinds by floor and unit to reduce confusion and unnecessary trips.
Step 2: Manual Labor with Precision
Our crew coordinated to move blinds efficiently up the stairwells, protecting the product and minimizing strain on the team. This step required both stamina and teamwork.
Step 3: Assembly-Line Approach to Installation
Once the blinds were staged, we divided the team into roles: measuring, drilling, mounting, and finishing. This streamlined workflow helped us meet the tight timeline without sacrificing quality.
Step 4: Quality Control
Even under deadline pressure, we conducted inspections in each unit to ensure the blinds operated smoothly and met specifications.

Results: 300 Blinds Installed in 3 Days

By the end of the third day, the apartment complex had 300 fully installed blinds, each one aligned, secure, and ready for tenants. Despite the physical challenge of transporting all materials via stairs, we delivered on schedule, allowing the contractor and property management team to stay on track for opening.
