About Us
At Modern Shades, formerly known as Cane Bay Window Fashions, we believe window treatments are a key part of your home or business—not just the finishing touch.

Our wide selection of custom blinds, shades, shutters, and outdoor screen solutions is designed to enhance comfort, style, and functionality in every space.
Crafted With Care. Grown With You in Mind.
Our Story
Modern Shades exists because our customers deserve better—better service, better solutions, and a better experience from start to finish. What began as Cane Bay Window Fashions, a small retirement venture by John Hause, quickly became one of Summerville’s most trusted names in window treatments. John’s attention to detail and genuine care for every customer laid the foundation for what our business is today.
When Greg Pritchard took over in 2022, he didn’t just step into a business—he stepped into a responsibility to carry that reputation forward. With a background in construction, leadership, and customer service, Greg introduced new systems, expanded our reach, and reimagined the brand as Modern Shades—all with the goal of making your experience even smoother and more personalized.
Today, we proudly serve homeowners and businesses across the Lowcountry with custom window solutions designed around your needs. Whether you want motorized convenience, outdoor comfort, or just the perfect shade of privacy, we bring you trusted brands like Hunter Douglas, Norman Window Fashions, Alta, and Draper Inc., along with the same attentive service that has made our name one you can rely on.
