Community voting recognizes the longtime Wilmington provider of custom window treatments and home-organization solutions.
WILMINGTON, NC, UNITED STATES, September 17, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ — Strickland’s Home has been named the 2026 Shorepicks Community’s Choice Awards winner in the Blinds/Shutters Company category, recognizing the Wilmington company through a program based on local public nominations and voting.
The Shorepicks Community’s Choice Awards invite residents to nominate and vote for businesses and organizations in categories that represent the Wilmington area. After the nomination round, the top companies in each category advance to a public voting round, with winners announced following the close of voting. The 2026 winners were announced September 13 online and in the program’s printed winners section.
“This recognition is especially meaningful because it comes from the community we serve,” said Fred Kumpel, owner of Strickland’s Home. “We are grateful to every homeowner, designer, builder and community member who voted, and to our team for the knowledge and care they bring to every project.”
The award comes as Strickland’s Home continues a Wilmington business history that began in 1941. Founded as Strickland Venetian Blind Works, the business initially manufactured and sold 2-inch wooden Venetian blinds. Over the decades, the company broadened its product knowledge and service capabilities as window coverings, materials and control technologies changed, while continuing to serve homeowners and design professionals across the coastal region.
Custom window treatments remain central to the company’s work. Strickland’s Home offers blinds, shades, shutters, draperies and fabrics for homeowners seeking to manage natural light, privacy, energy efficiency and interior design. Customers can consider a range of materials, finishes and operating options to address the practical and aesthetic needs of individual rooms and window openings.
The company has also expanded its home offerings to include custom closets and organization systems, Murphy beds, home offices, pantries and garage solutions. This broader selection enables homeowners to explore coordinated solutions for living spaces where storage, layout and window treatments are often part of the same project. Consultations are structured to help customers identify options that fit the goals, dimensions and daily use of their homes.
At its Wilmington and North Myrtle Beach showrooms, Strickland’s Home displays working window treatments, fabrics, finishes and organization products. The showroom setting gives customers an opportunity to compare product features in person before making a selection. The company also provides complimentary consultations and professional installation by its employees.
For Strickland’s Home, the Shorepicks recognition reflects a relationship built through generations of service in Wilmington and nearby communities. The company thanked its customers, trade partners and team members for their role in the 2026 community voting process and for their continued support.
