Absolutely the best experience. We needed the canvas replaced on one of our awnings. They sent a guy to do the estimate. He showed up on time. The office people sent us the estimate without delay. We put down a 50% deposit. They sent out a guy to double check the measurements. Did the replacement in under 2 hours. This is model business that other businesses can follow. We are extremely happy from start to end. read more

My two awnings were torn apart from the heavy storms we had this past winter. I tried to contact the original installer in Santa Cruz but decided to find a local one, closer to my home. So happy to find Abby's. From first contact, site visit for estimation down to installation, the whole process was efficiently communicated and executed. Jonny was always punctual and thorough. Kristy was responsive to all inquiries. Plus point, thier pricing is GREAT! Great service and won't hesitate to contact them again. read more

We requested to replace 3 broken awnings in the front of our property and 3 in the courtyard. The employees never came to the office to see us and never replaced the 3 broken awnings in the courtyard. Awful communication, very irresponsible, not paying attention to the customer's requests. read more

They did a wonderful job at a good price. Johnny was very helpful in coming to our house in the Santa Cruz Mountains and showing us sample fabrics. We are very happy with the awning. read more

I love the awnings installed by Wen Han! It is like I have a second living room in my backyard! I am not entertaining inside my house because of Covid, so I wanted to have a comfortable cool area outside. The LED lights on the awning are great, thought they would only be decorative but great at night . Price was really reasonable for the product . I have friends interested in getting awnings from Wen Han, they are custom made to suit different needs. Should have gotten the awnings years ago! read more

I needed a solution for a high window in our family room that took a large amount of sun. I tried several window companies for an electric interior solution but they were not interested as the job was too small or the windows too high. I thought I would use an external solution/brand and called Abby's. Barry (owner) answered the phone and went full nerd on the issue in the best of ways. He provided solid advice and solution alternatives on the phone. He visited the home and again provided solid advice and options. Measurements were taken twice , an electric wired awning ordered in colors that complemented my home exterior while providing the esthetics and light/heat blocking solution I wanted. Abby's back office (Krissy) was easy to reach by phone and email. In six weeks from the initial call my awning was installed in a professional manner and I am very happy with the quality of product and installation . Note, things may take a while to get ordered and installed (summer 2023) as the suppliers are backed up. This is out of Abby's hands but it worth it got the long lasting product and installation I now have. Thanks Barry, Johnny and Krissy. read more

Great work, dependable, very competitive pricing. Not only do they install new awnings they also offer services to keep them looking sharp and lasting longer. The staff was very professional and knowledgable! Look forward to future work with them. read more

They came out within a day of calling them. He measured and then alleviated my concerns because I was not sure that the awning may not be for my house. He showed me multiple pictures of homes like ours that had awnings. He knew the correct color to match our house. It was a move that was bold , but it made the house really stand out in a classy way. We are now thinking of placing more awning on the house & we are so glad that we did it. !!! It was a leap of faith but it took our house out of the boring catagory. We are grateful for their patience with us. read more

The team at Abby's did a wonderful job installing a couple of new Sunsetter shades I had purchased for my back windows. They were punctual, efficient, and had a great attitude. 5 stars! read more

We needed our electronic approximately 300 pound awning taken off our roof so that roofers could repair the cement shingles around the awning brackets, then replace it once the roof work was completed. They also replaced the awning fabric with new fabric. They were timely, courteous, diligent and efficient, all at a fair price, and now have a repaired roof and electric awning that is like brand new, and beautiful. We highly recommend Abby's! read more

Unprofessional service and extremely rude owner! I wish I could have put minus 5 star. They took our blinds for cleaning and used bleach on yellow blinds! Then called me to say that our blinds were white to begin with!!!! When I didn't accept it, Barry took the phone and started yelling at me that why I say the blinds were not white and why I complain about them being white and hung up on me!!! We ended up with purchasing new blinds and not even receiving back the old ones which they took from our house. Their behaviour is completely unprofessional. They don't take responsibility for their action. They have left us without blinds for the past few weeks were the temperature has been in high 90s most of the time. They are total disaster, unprofessional, and rude. Basically they don't know what they are doing! Don't waste your time and money over there. read more

We just had Abby's Commercial Detailing Systems come out and replaced our awnings and it couldn't have been easier, smoother and quicker! YEA Barry! Barry has been taking care of us from day one, when our awnings were merely "old" and has helped me sew and scrub them to get thru the economy's slumps. Once we had a little money to replace the existing embarrassing awnings - Barry came out promptly and helped me pick the right style, colors, type of canvas and everything right away. He came in under budget and over delivered on customer service! The new awnings look great and really "pop" against our new exterior paint that they were nice enough to schedule around so we weren't without awnings for any more time than necessary! read more

Barry and his team have gone above and beyond! They have provided amazing service helping me with an awning. I trust them and will use them again. read more

I've been a customer of Abby's for years. Their service is amazing- fast turn around, reasonable prices and excellent work. Their staff also has excellent communication skills which is lacking in so many other service companies. We have Hunter Douglas silouette shades and they make them look new each time they clean them. Excellent job! read more

I have known Barry for several years now and he has offered me lots of advice for window treatment solution. He began with some great advice on how to give my business the curb appeal it needed to stand out among all my other competitors. Our awnings and window treatments need a serious face lift and Barry's cleaning team came out and had them cleaned in no time. Barry's advice was spot on... everyone commented on how much better the front entrance looked!! I recently moved my business and we no longer have awnings; but do have a serious issue with the afternoon setting sun, it heats up three of our rooms to over 80 degrees. I asked advice again from Barry and he gave me some fantastic window treatment solutions that would help to bring the temperature down in our office. Whatever your need is for window treatments or awnings... this is the guy to consult. He offers amazing friendly advice, decent pricing and fast service. read more

I met Barry as a subcontractor through the general contractor who worked on my restaurant launch a couple years back. I reconnected with Barry a year or so ago, and now he services/cleans the great awnings that he initially installed. The best thing is that it's 'no thing'. Barry calls or stops by, reminds you that customers make decisions about your business based on your curb appeal, and then he schedules a fast & painless cleaning - which also helps preserve the life of the awnings. They glow afterward, and it's a great feeling when you pull up to work in the morning & know you're putting your best foot forward. read more

Barry and Staff provided wonderful service! Our blinds were thoroughly cleaned and then replaced on the windows with great ease and accuracy. I highly recommend your company and am impressed with the quality of your work! Thank you again. read more

I had this outfit clean my Hunter Douglas silhouette blinds. After cleaning and re-installation, the blinds were no longer functional. The pull-string pulled through the mechanism without raising the blinds at all. Prior to cleaning, the blinds worked perfectly. We were told to drop off the blinds for inspection and possible repair. Before doing so, I called to ensure that Abby's was willing to accept the possibility that they were responsible for the damage (without, of course, accepting responsibility over the phone). The representative became progressively more combative, and would not acknowledge the possibility that the damage had occurred during handling at Abby's. (Therefore, no reason for me to drop the blinds off since I can easily repair the blinds myself). I disassembled the blinds and found that components on both ends were cracked. The mechanism on the side of the pull-string was cracked in several places. Having handled the blinds exclusively when they were not in Abby's hands, I am confident that this damage occurred while the blinds were at Abby's. In any case, a business should accept the possibility that they made a mistake. I will avoid Abby's in the future. read more

My blinds are beautiful after Abby's ultrasonic blind cleaning. I found blinds in the garage rafters that were left by the previous owner. At first I was annoyed because there was no way to shove the filthy things into the garbage cart and close the lid. The blinds were custom built and were more than ten years old. I called Hunter Douglas and their replacement costs were pricey. They recommended ultrasonic cleaning, which I didn't think could clean the grime out, but it was worth a try. Barry not only made these blinds look nearly new, but he repaired some clips and got them to roll perfectly. I couldn't be happier and the project saved me more than $1000. read more

I couldn't find anyone in the Oakland area to clean my 13 year old blinds before I stumbled on Abbys Ultrasonic Blind Cleaning. The blinds were so grimy/filthy that I thought I would have to replace them. I called Barry and he was very informative and helpful on the phone, he was willing to take a shot at getting them clean so I drove them down to San Jose. The results are amazing. The shades look like new and it was so reasonably priced (including the drive). Great service and excellent results. read more

recently had 12 sets of blinds cleaned and polished. They picked up and return the blinds within a 12 hours turn around. We were very satisfied with this service and they did an excellent job on the blinds. Called several places and Abby's was very reasonable in price. I will highly recommend this place. read more

I found my whole experience rather odd with this place. I called a couple places because I needed my shades repaired, and went with this place because they are closer and they were recommended by another local business. I explained the problem, and the person on the phone wanted to know the brand name of the shades. They were custom made, not a brand, and I don't have a way to contact whoever made the shades. The shades don't have a brand name written where I can see, but he kept returning to this point. He explained that it's as if I called an auto repair shop and wanted to know if they could fix my car without knowing what kind of car it is. (I think to myself that the other place I called was not worried about the brand.) I get what he is saying, and yet, these are not brand name shades. He kept asking if I could find the custom designer. If I could do that I would not be calling this place. He may not have the best people skills, but I figure I can deal with that. We agree that I would just bring in the shades and he could take a look. So I wrap the shades in some sheets to keep them clean and drive over there. The business is in a house in a residential neighborhood. It's weird because instead of entering the business, I am at the front door of a house ringing the bell. But there are signs, and it is an actual business (actually several) in the building. The guy who helps me also helps carry the shades inside the building. Very nice. He joked about my having wrapped the shades in these big sheets, which I thought was condescending. He finds the brand of the mechanism for adjusting the blinds there on the end of it. Not something you can see when they are on my wall. I explain the details of the problem again and he agrees to check it and let me know before doing any work. I am hopeful that I will finally be able to use my shades again, although he told me that there may be no solution to one of the problems. (I think to myself that the other place I called seemed to think this was doable.) After a few days I get a call and he tells me what he was able to do. But the shades will only go up part way. (I think to myself that he was supposed to call before doing any work.) He goes back to the topic of finding the original designer and asking them some details, maybe to obtain a specific part for the repair. Yes, I could probably do some research and see if that designer is still in the business, and see if they have records more than 12 years old that may help him find the necessary part. But that could be time consuming and if I found them, that's who I would use for the repair. After listening to his hemming and hawing about trying to fix it (but not seeming to be able to) I'm getting frustrated. He has invested some time and effort and of course would like to be able to finish the job and get paid for it. However, it sounds like this is just not the sort of repair job that this place can easily handle, so I decide I will try the other place I called, even though they are farther away. I drive back over there, and a friendly employee I had not met previously helps me load my shades back in my vehicle. One star for the friendly service of carrying my shades. Another star for being honest and not charging for something they couldn't do. I suppose if I had some blinds that needed cleaning, I would have been just fine. But at this point, I'm not likely to find out. read more

I thought that Abby's had great prices for cleaning and I dropped my blinds off. One week later on Saturday, we went to Abby's and they were closed when the website listed Saturday hours. We never received their vm 6/11/15 and they never received our 3 messages from 6/13/15, hence no follow up call. I followed up with a call today 6/15/15 asking why no return call and this is when we figured out the wires got crossed. No biggie, BUT when the owner Barry blames it on the customer and doesn't own it - Alert: Communications 101: use the word "I" and it defuses the situation, but Barry used "You" which doesn't defuse, it's blaming and not owning. Barry was just rude. A bit of advice, let your manager speak to the customers, he was nice and professional. read more

Dear Barry, Thanks for a great job cleaning our kitchen blinds! It is a superb job. The blinds hadn't been cleaned for 15 years+. The blinds look new (although that is just a bonus). Clark read more

Used Abby's to cut our blinds because we put in picture frame windows. Called everywhere and no one could cut the blinds. Home Depot would only cut the cheal Faux wood ones. Lowes would only cut the brand they sell. Abby's service was great, fast and affordable. Thanks for all the help. read more

I called Barry through a recommendation for a BBQ island cover. Barry came out for a consultation and quote, then soon after sent his team to design a custom cover for us. We just got the finished product and it is beautiful. They worked around a complicated design and came up with a perfect, tailored fit using quality materials that we know we will enjoy for years. read more

We just had our awnings cleaned by Barry's team. We thought we were going to have to replace the fabric at considerable cost because of the dirt and mildew. However, they did a great job, and to our great relief, the awnings look like new. Now, we plan to have Barry clean them on a regular basis to preserve them. He says they should last another 10 years. Yay! read more

I called them based on several other reviews that I had read. I needed several of my Hunter Douglas duette blinds cleaned and restrung as well as a set of HD Luminettes cleaned and rehung. They did a good job on cleaning and restring in the duettes but when it came to my Luminettes we ran into problems. I needed new brackets for the blinds to be rehung. They brought back all the blinds when they had been cleaned but were going to need an extra two weeks to find the brackets they needed fo rehang my Luminettes. Two weeks passed, no phone call, no follow up. I called and followed up and talked to Barry and he said he would get back to me. No phone call back. I called again, and he was going to have his guy (Jeff) call me. Another week, no phone call. I called again the following week, and Barry said he had been out of town and would have Jeff call me back. This went on for two months with me making weekly phone calls. I finally talked to Jeff and we agreed he was going to come in on the Friday I was working from home. Friday came and went and what a surprise no Jeff. I called Barry back and he was defensive saying I had told them to come after 3 and then hung up on me. Horrible customer service. While they did a good job with the cleaning and restringing, once they got paid they just ignored finishing the job. I would never use this business again simply because of this experience. I had to pay another blinds installer to come out and install the blinds. read more

I would give a minus star if I could. I left a message on a message machine regarding a awning that needed to be repaired. No one ever return my phone call so I called back about four days later. The man who answered the phone was very rude very unprofessional he said I need to know the maker normally they don't break, I don't even know what's going on and I said well I wish somebody would've called me when I left a message and I would have gotten some information for you and he said well , I didn't so what now !!!!! I have no idea how somebody stays in business acting that unprofessional , amazing I would never recommend this Business to anyone. !!!! He sounded like an older man past retirement age. Maybe he should retire and leave the business to somebody who knows how to treat a customer. Sometimes it is so unbelievable the service you think you're on some sort of show getting pranked !!! read more

Terrible service we called n talked w a really friendly guy on the phone. We took our mini blind in to see it could be restrung. An older guy was there who talked w us amidst a couple of cell phone calls n said he would have to get back w us but he would work on it n give us a call back. 4 weeks passed sans return call. I have been calling this business three consecutive days with minimal success. The nice guy answering the phone said "oh, you mean those cheap plastic blinds? " i said perhaps yes. He said he'd leave a message for the owner. Day#2 call, the same nice person said he left our message w the other guy so he'd have to leave another message. Day #3, same responses after two calls. Day#4, Phone machine took my message which was that they can keep the cheap mini blinds n throw them in the trash. Overall, owner was rude to us start to finish. Din't bother w this mom n pop business run from a house in a residential area. It was not worth our 20 mile drive from Mountain View to San Jose. Terrible service. Let me put it this way, the owner was condescending, arrogant and totally uninterested in our business. read more

Unfortunately for me, Barry did not do the cleaning on my awning. He sent two other guys, one of which is supposed to be the new owner. The streaking on the awning looks like half a job; they said they would not use bleach, but cleaning liquid they used left many pure white spots on my redwood deck (which now looks like it has chicken pox from being bleached out). Not pretty. When I pointed out the damage, they gave me several ways for ME to repair it including staining, power washing (hey, that's why I called "professionals" right?) There is staining on a vinyl part of the awning that was not there before, and "they didn't do it". It has been a nightmare. They did not take any responsibility for the damages or poor workmanship. After I called they said they would come back out and look at my damages but didn't. The guy in charge now is a fast-talking, promise-you-the-moon kind of guy. I heard "this is going to be beautiful" at least 10 times before and during the job, yet half-a---ed is what I saw. I was sorely disappointed! The job failed and I'm stuck with damages. Before you hire them, go somewhere else, find someone else, don't get stuck the way I did. $400 down the drain plus damages to my beautiful deck that will never be the same, and permanent stains on the awning. My advice...Use a power washer on the lowest setting, then brush it with simple soap. read more
