To the Trade
Genie's Drapery Service has worked with interior designers, design consultants, and builders in the Charleston, SC, area for over 40 years. Our roots are in the design trade, dating back to the early 1900s, with our trade-first foundation still driving how we operate today. When you partner with Genie's, you get access to a full custom drapery workroom, premium brand lines, and professional installation handled entirely in-house.
Custom Drapery Workroom Serving Trade Partners
The in-house workroom on Old Parsonage Road is what sets Genie's apart from other window treatment providers in the Charleston area. This is where local artisans handcraft every custom piece, from drapery panels and Roman shades to cornices, valances, and elaborate top treatments. For interior designers working on high-end residential or commercial projects, having a reliable custom drapery workroom as a trade resource is invaluable.
Designers can supply their own fabric or source from Genie's collection. Our workroom builds to whatever specifications the designer provides, whether that means intricate goblet pleats with contrast banding, a simple ripplefold on a ceiling-mounted track, or layered treatments with multiple components. Custom drapery designs are executed with the precision and attention to detail that trade professionals expect when their own reputation is tied to the finished product.
The artisans at Genie's bring remarkable consistency to this work, with every member of the production staff having been on-site for over a decade. Our longevity means trade partners work with the same artisans and the same standards on every project.
Custom-Made Window Treatments and Brand Partners
High-end custom-made window treatments from our workroom are the heart of our operation, but Genie's also serves trade partners whose clients have varying budgets. Through partnerships with leading manufacturers, designers, and builders can source quality window treatments at a range of price points without sacrificing professional installation or service.

Professional Installation for Interior Designers and New Construction Projects
Custom window treatments for interior design and new construction projects demand installation that matches the quality of the product. Genie's handles every installation with the same in-house crew that builds the custom pieces, which means the people hanging your drapery understand how it was constructed and how it should perform.
For new construction projects, we work directly with builders and designers during the specification phase. Window measurements, blocking requirements, and motorization wiring can all be coordinated early in the build process to ensure smooth installation once the project is complete. We pride ourselves on consistent quality standards across every project.
