We’re thrilled to welcome David & Mary Altman to the Made in the Shade family as the proud owners of Made in the Shade Meridian, serving the beautiful Treasure Valley area of Idaho — from Boise to Nampa, Meridian to Caldwell, and everywhere in between.
With decades of combined professional experience, a deep love for their community, and a shared passion for excellence, David and Mary bring a personalized, service-first approach to window treatments in Southwest Idaho.
A Heart for Service, A Passion for Home
David and Mary have always shared a dream of owning a business together. After exploring several opportunities over the years, the timing aligned perfectly when David retired from a long and successful corporate career.
David brings nearly 40 years of leadership experience in the transportation industry, known for his people-first management style, mentoring others, and fostering strong, empowered teams. Mary holds a Bachelor’s degree in Business Management and brings her own expertise in customer service, operations, and workflow optimization — with experience at companies like GE, Lakeland Supply, and others.
Together, they form a powerhouse team with a mission to serve their neighbors through professionalism, faith, and personal connection.
Family, Faith & Idaho Roots
The Altmans have been happily married for 34 years, and are the proud parents of three grown children — and eight wonderful grandchildren who light up their lives. When they’re not helping homeowners design dream-worthy window treatments, you’ll find them spending time with family, attending sporting events, kayaking, jet skiing, or staying active in their church community.
In 2022, David and Mary both proudly earned their degrees in ministry, a testament to their shared values and lifelong commitment to faith and service.
Why Made in the Shade?
David and Mary were introduced to Made in the Shade by family members already in the network and immediately saw the alignment with their values: flexibility, support, community connection, and integrity. The opportunity to bring national-quality window treatment solutions to the Treasure Valley, backed by an experienced franchise family, was the perfect next step in their journey.
Welcome to the Family, David & Mary!
Please join us in giving a warm welcome to David and Mary Altman of Made in the Shade Meridian. We can’t wait to watch them grow their business and serve the Treasure Valley community with the passion and heart they’re known for.
