Meet Our Window Treatment Experts in Long Island, NY

Mark has many years of experience in window treatment design, and is very knowledgeable with Hunter Douglas Products, Soft Treatments, Shutters, & Motorization. He first started off working for his father at their family-owned window treatment store located in Nassau County. Mark shadowed his father for 7 years learning the family business in and out before branching off on his own, taking over Homestead Window Treatments, a pre-existing window treatment store in the Huntington area. “My father was a great teacher/mentor who has taught me everything that I know and I am forever grateful for that. I wouldn’t be where I am in life today without him! Now being older and having a business of my own I constantly keep challenging myself to gain a reputation that is unbeatable. Customer Service is extremely important to me and my wife and I strive to provide the most seamless, and care free service you will ever encounter!”

“Laura graduated from St. Josephs College with a bachelors degree in education. While still in college, she spent a lot of her time helping out at the showroom. During that time, she developed a love for the business and decided that this was the career path for her! Since then, they have teamed together and made Homestead what it is today! My husband and I make a great team and are very passionate about working hard and watching our business flourish. We are very proud of earning the title of best window treatment store on Long Island for three consecutive years in a row, and it is our goal to maintain that title for many more years to come!”
