Thursday night, my husband let me know the cord that raises and lowers the blinds in his bedroom…read morebroke. He needs to be able to close the blinds during the day (when he sleeps), and we had no idea how to get the blind to lower. Friday morning, I called Advanced Blind & Shade in Soquel, CA. Max was totally helpful! After talking about alternatives, I decided it might be smart to get our blinds replaced (they are 22 years old). Max got ahold of Adam, a salesman who was in the area, and within 30 minutes from my first call the the company, Adam was knocking on the door. He removed the broken blind, and within 3 minutes, he got a cord from his truck, put in a new temporary one, and got the blind to carefully raise and lower until the new one is ready! I was in shock and totally delighted. And relieved at the friendly, helpful, GREAT SERVICE! Advanced Blind & Shade is the best! It is so wonderful to support a local company with friendly knowledgeable people, and great products. https://advancedblind.com

Highly recommended

Don't let the small storefront fool you--McCarty's is huge in terms of service and experience…read more What made our purchase experience so positive: 1) Jackie. Period! Jackie knows her stuff. She listened carefully and looked at photos of our living room windows, pointing us to the products that would work. Jackie wanted us to be happy. She sent us home with color samples, then ordered larger samples of our top contenders. Jackie embodies customer service ideals--she provided information and support without any pressure. She was patient as we weighed the pros and cons of different options and worked out what was best for us. 2) Installation. Todd is very experienced and did a fantastic job installing our blinds. 3) Quality. We had previously purchased custom window coverings from another local shop. The people were nice and helpful, but attention to detail on the final product was lacking. I cannot find a flaw in the products we purchased from McCarty's. 4) Support. After four years, one of our motorized blinds stopped responding. We called Jackie and she told us how to get troubleshooting support from Hunter-Douglas. She said if they determine a motor had failed, call her back. A failed motor was confirmed and we called Jackie back. She immediately ordered a new motor. When the motor arrived, Todd came to the house and removed the non-working blind. The motor was replaced, then Todd came back to reinstall the blind. I was worried the fabric might get dirty or mangled in the process. Nope. Looks as good as it ever did. If you need window coverings, visit Jackie at McCarty's for knowledge, support, and top-notch quality.

I highly recommend this business and they have a very competent person coming in to take over the showroom who has been working for Hunter Douglas for 14 years.

The arms supporting the blinds are driven by a remotely controlled motor that runs quietly and smoothly. We contacted SunBlinds initially through Costco, which is giving us 20% back on the total. Our interactions with the Sunblinds people have been great, from the rep who came out to our house for the quote to the installation crew led by Hunter. Hunter and his assistant did an excellent job on the installation and Hunter took the time to explain how to use all the features with very useful tips on using the blinds. The installed awning works perfectly, and we are thrilled to finally be able to sit comfortably on our south-facing deck during the midday sun. Overall, a 5-star experience. We heartily recommend Sun Blinds and will use them again if we need blinds in the future.
