The dealer program
Every dealer is a partner,not a customer.
Porter Lake exists to make selling window coverings simpler and more profitable for the people who sell them. No annual minimums, no locked-in contracts, and a dealer success manager who knows the product as well as you do.
What you get as a dealer.
Stronger margins
Trade pricing built to leave real room in your quotes, so you can win the job without discounting your own work.
A dedicated success manager
One named contact who knows your account, your jobs and your customers, not a general support queue.
Measure support
Help getting the measurements right before the order goes to manufacturing, which is where most remakes come from.
90-day money back guarantee
If the program isn't working for you, return your sample books within 90 days for a full refund, no questions asked.
Rebates and monthly promotions
Sample book costs rebated after a few orders, plus product promotions you can pass on or keep.
Smart motors for smart homes
Every motorized collection uses compatible motor systems, so a whole house runs from one remote or hub type for whatever range of products you specify.
What it's like to be a dealer
Quote in front of your customer, order before you leave the driveway.
Everything runs through your own dealer portal: current pricing, quoting, ordering, and order status in one place.
- 01
Build the quote
Configure the job in the portal room by room, with live trade pricing as you go.
- 02
Check the details
Unsure about a mount type or a fabric for an awkward window? Your success manager will look at it with you before anything is ordered.
- 03
Submit the order
Approved quotes convert straight to an order. No re-typing, no order forms by email, no transcription mistakes.
- 04
Track it to the door
Order status updates in the portal from manufacturing through to dispatch, so you can tell your customer where things stand.
Dealer spotlight
Premier Shades & ShuttersThe Villages, FL
Two designers, one showroom, no retail floor.
Jamie and Christina came into the window covering industry as newcomers, working from a single showroom with no retail floor behind them.
They chose the Porter Lake dealer program over the big-box wholesalers for one reason: hands-on education and support on every single job, rather than a catalog and a phone number.
Porter Lake's dealer program gave us the hands-on training to succeed from day one.
