There’s something timeless about the way Las Vegas used to do business. A handshake meant something. Quality trumped flash. And the person who answered your call was the same person who showed up at your front door. Rick Cenzer, owner of Nevada Shutter and Blinds, is keeping that tradition alive—one window treatment at a time.
Rick’s been in business since 1999. In a city known for constant reinvention, that kind of staying power says a lot. “I’ve seen it all change,” he says with a smile. “Twenty-five years ago, everyone wanted plantation shutters. Now, it’s all about sleek, motorized shades, outdoor sun protection, and products that blend comfort, design, and energy efficiency.”
The Craft Behind the Curtain
Nevada Shutter and Blinds specializes in both indoor and outdoor custom window treatments, from high-end motorized roller shades and SmartDrape panels to commercial-grade retractable awnings and E-Zip outdoor screens. Rick’s go-to materials—Somfy motors, SunTex solar fabrics, and Eclipse exterior shades—aren’t just industry-leading; they’re built to withstand the brutal Las Vegas sun.
“These outdoor screens block 97 percent of the heat, and you can still see out while maintaining your privacy,” he explains. “They turn your patio into another livable room. It’s a game-changer during the summer.”
Inside the home, modern aesthetics meet functionality. “Everything is rechargeable now,” Rick adds. “It’s like charging your phone—no more AA batteries. Customers love the clean lines and soft textures of roller and sheer shades, especially the SmartDrape system for those big sliding glass doors.”
Working with the Owner—Literally
Unlike big-box competitors or online vendors, Rick is the face of the business. He does every consultation himself, guiding homeowners through design options, offering expert advice, and customizing solutions based on the layout and style of the home.
“When someone calls, I answer,” he says. “I listen to what they need. I show them real samples. I don’t upsell—I educate.” And yes, he’ll often be present on installs, especially for larger or repeat customers.
It's that kind of personal attention that’s earned him multi-generational clients. “I’m at a job now with a client I’ve worked with for years. I did her daughter’s home. Now she’s building a second one. They trust me.”
Back to the Vegas Way
Rick attributes his success to three things: honesty, quality, and showing up. “Customer service is everything,” he says. “A lot of companies make you jump through hoops just to get a call back. I always follow up. And I stand behind what I sell.”
That approach resonates in a city that’s grown fast and changed even faster. “People miss doing business with someone who actually shows up and cares about the work,” Rick says. “I might be a little old-fashioned—but that’s what sets me apart.”
In a world of automated calls and faceless installs, Rick Senser is a reminder that good business never goes out of style. It’s just waiting behind the blinds.
Locals love Rick’s owner-operated service, top-tier products, classic-to-modern styles, motorized outdoor enclosures, and customer-first approach—calls returned, warranties honored, installs seamless.
