Do install curtain rods?

Yes, installing curtain rods is a common home improvement task that many handymen can handle. The cost for this type of installation typically ranges from $50 to $150 per rod, depending on your location and the complexity of the job. If you're in a larger city, you might see prices on the higher end of that range.

Here are the general steps involved in hanging curtain rods:

1. Measure the width of your window and decide how far beyond the window frame you want the rods to extend.
2. Mark the spots where the brackets will go, ensuring they are level and spaced evenly.
3. Drill holes for the anchors if you're mounting on drywall, or screw directly into studs if possible.
4. Attach the brackets and then hang the curtain rods.

While this is a straightforward task, if you're unsure about drilling into your walls or need to work around electrical outlets or other fixtures, it’s best to hire a licensed professional.
