We had a great experience working with Mark and his installers. First, when he visited to give us a…read morequote, he fixed an issue with our existing blinds that the company who had installed them hadn't been able to address. Second, we had been looking for shades in a bright color that would pop. Bright colors appear hard to find in shades, and we had looked around for months. Mark was able to deliver them. It was a long wait between our deposit payment and the installation, but well worth it. The installation was swift and problem-free. And no hidden costs added on at the end -- we paid what he quoted. These guys know what they're doing. We'd definitely work with them again!

After 12 years of daily usage, the internal mechanism on our dining room shade failed. Paul came to my house, diagnosed the problem, and within a couple of weeks the part was ordered and installed. Bonus - even got some great fishing tips from Paul. All told, this is precisely why buying a quality product from a small local business, still makes the most sense.

I honestly viewed it as due diligence more than anything. But Sally really impressed us. She made good suggestions, listened to our desires and was quick to help us zero in on the types of things we were looking for (and not waste time looking at things we didn't want). It was clear to me she had many years of experience working in this field. In the end, her bid for our job came in just sightly higher than the quote we got from Costco, and the difference was so negligible that it was a wash for me. We liked the options Sally had slightly better, and we honestly just liked Sally a lot more than the sales guy from the Costco vendor. We also were super impressed with the gentleman who came to install the blinds. Tony, I think. I laughed in disbelieve when he told me it would take an hour but it was pretty close. He was a total pro, and he knew exactly what he was doing. I appreciated that he noticed that the valence wasn't 100% perfect and so he had them order a replacement that was 100% perfect. The attention to detail was great, and we were very pleased with that. In addition, the blinds look GREAT. They look like they were custom-stained to match our room and they were cut perfectly for the space. We could not ask for better and it's improved our room tremendously. For the first few days I didn't even want to leave the livingroom. I just wanted to sit there and stare at my pretty window. Thanks, Sally!

I'm having some windows replaced and contacted Budget Blinds to get a bid for new shades/blinds. I explained I wanted to get everything decided so the shades could be ordered and installed as soon as possible after the windows went in. They refused to even do a consult until after new windows were fully installed, would not even provide a general initial estimate via email when I said I'd be willing to send the measurements myself and was clear I understood the price could change slightly if the window measurements changed after install. I won't do business with vendors who aren't eager to earn it.

I got two kinds of shades that look really, really good. Seriously, I love the way they look. The shades themselves are made by Graber; this company employs the sales and install people. In particular, my installer (Nate) was very fast and knowledgable. I will probably always wonder just how much cheaper this could have been if I had gone a cheaper route, but other than the price tag I'm very happy.

He brought in one book with one style of blind. Seriously only decision I could make is color. I asked if he had other sample books with him. He replied 'this book has the best options for my windows'. I have standard Anderson casement windows, an interior French door, and a sliding patio door. The only unusual window I have is a half circle over one casement. I wanted honeycomb style, and one top down blind that can open the top but keep lower window covered for privacy. He showed me a cheap single Z-fold that I could add a room darkening layer to for added privacy! The quote was very high for the low quality. But I would receive a Costco gift card worth 10% back of what I paid to Custom Blinds. Injury to insult when I asked about options for the half-circle. I was hoping for a soft fan style blind. He said they don't make blinds like that. I said but your name is Custom Blinds? He said we have new owners and they only buy Graber brand blinds in sizes offered by the factory. Steer clear, don't waste your time with them.
