Bedroom windows
First, installer put reverse roll assist blinds above window which was wrong. Left 9 holes in wall that was never filled/fixed. Came back and put the blinds inside the casing which left huge gaps between window glass and shade. They were recommended at time of measurement by the designer, Jaime, and we were never told there would be gaps between them or any other treatment recommendations. Jaime said they would look great. After installation of the window treatments we were in Arizona until end of June. Now that we are here and having to had slept with gaps, we realized how horrible a job was done. We went with someone else and she was in shock on how horrible the bedroom blinds were. She spent time explaining ALL types of treatments available and which one she would recommend. We went with her and purchased a honeycomb, room darkening, two way roll shade. Looks beautiful.
Basement windows
First was ordered two reverse roll assist blinds for three windows. There was a huge gap approximately 6". Owner came back and ordered three for the window. These were installed against the back of the casing of windows so blinds would not roll up all the way. Also, there was NO tension in the assist blinds and they had to be rolled up by hand. They used the wrong mismatched brackets to hold the blinds. The brackets were only screwed in with one screw not two as should have been for each bracket. My husband repositioned the correct brackets (which were taken from the upstairs bedroom) and redid the tension for each of the three blinds. They look less crappy because if you put lipstick on a pig, it is still a pig!! At least they now roll up and down with the assist.
Other windows/doors we were recommended vertical blinds which we are fine having them.
We had rental properties and used Walmart and Home Depot blinds off the shelf and they looked great not like the horrible hatchet job from alleged professionals.
Owner or Designer would never have these installed in their house as they were here.
