King Shade & Window Co.

King Shade & Window Co. is a showroom-based window company at 1764 Centre St in West Roxbury, and one of the older trading names in Greater Boston: the company says it has served the neighbourhood and the wider city since 1948, which it puts at 77 years, local and family owned. What it sells straddles two trades. On the contracting side it supplies and installs replacement windows — double hung, picture, casement, awning, basement and art glass — plus storm doors, storm windows and sliding patio doors. On the retail side it makes and fits custom window treatments: cellular, roller, solar and Roman shades, woven woods, wood and faux wood blinds, and plantation shutters. One credential is verified rather than claimed. The Massachusetts registry shows Home Improvement Contractor registration 131488 as active, held by NEW KING SHADE INC. — a related but differently named legal entity, so confirm with the company that this is the registration covering your work before signing. The public record is otherwise thin. There are no reviews on file from any platform; the HomeAdvisor page for the West Roxbury address publishes no star rating and no reviews, recording only that free estimates and warranties are offered and that there is no emergency service. The only outside voice is a Boston homeowner who wrote in January 2024, when asked about window replacement, that the window and shade shop on Centre St in West Roxbury has done many homes and has great reviews — a second-hand pointer rather than an account of their own job. With no reviewed work to read, there is nothing here to rate. It is worth a visit if you want to see shades and window samples in person from a long-established local showroom; ask which entity holds the registration and warranty, and get recent local references for the installation side specifically.
