Tracy Hickman
Owner
Tracy Hickman spent 12 years as a real estate investor — buying, improving, and transforming properties — so she knows firsthand what turns a house into a home people fall in love with. A wife and mom with a designer's eye, Tracy sees what a room could be the moment she steps inside. When she's not helping neighbors find the perfect blinds and shades, she's in her kitchen baking, setting a beautiful table, or dreaming up her next decorating project. For Tracy, every home has a best version of itself. Her favorite thing? Helping you find it.

Phil Hickman
Owner
After nearly 25 years serving his country in the U.S. Navy, Phil Hickman now serves his neighbors right here in Southwest Iowa. A husband and dad of six, Phil knows exactly what a home means to a family — and he brings Navy-grade discipline to every measurement, every install, every detail. When he's not transforming windows across the area, he's outdoors working alongside his sons or cheering on his Kansas City Chiefs. For Phil, service isn't a job description. It's a life.

Tug Hickman
Lead Installer
Tug Hickman earned his Eagle Scout rank the same way he installs window treatments — with patience, precision, and zero shortcuts. A certified installer with an electrician apprentice's eye for detail, Tug is the reason your shades hang level, operate smoothly, and look like they were born on that window. When the tools are down, you'll find him outdoors with friends or cheering on his teams. Tug's rule is simple: it's not done until it's done right — and you'll enjoy the visit while he proves it.
