Amazing service. Ernie knows what he is doing and is basically the go to guy in Sonoma County to get your blinds cleaned AND fixed.

Cleaned my blinds nicely. Did what he said he would do. Nice person. Would LOVE to have known that he restrings blinds before I bought 3 new ones! Well now I know. Reasonable pricing. read more

I have reached out to the company many times in the course of 18 months to try to get a Hunter Douglas shade repaired. The first time Ernie told me he was too busy. The next time he said I had to bring it to the shop. I explained it is a light color, fabric shade that is 8' long and is in the down position as the crank mechanism is stripped. There is no way to safely transport it. He then went on a rant about how an in-house call is expensive. I said that was fine, I just needed it fixed. Gave him all the info from the original order so he would know exactly the type of part he needed. He said he couldn't schedule anything until he got the part. I waited 4 months and called again. He said he hadn't had a chance to investigate. More calls, more excuses. The shade still isn't fixed and I've given up. Every time I've spoken to him, he has been rude and abrasive. One time he even stated that just because Hunter Douglas recommended him doesn't mean he has to repair my shade! He also stated that he makes his money cleaning blinds, not repairing them. Since the type of shade I have can't be cleaned, it isn't worth his time. I strongly suggest recommend using someone else. read more

Brought in blinds for repair but owner proceeded to throw a loud and aggressive rant about blinds from China and how he was glad that his president was applying tariffs on them. I was basically dismissed as a waste of his time as he looked past me to the next customer standing behind me. Not sure if this is his usual demeanor but I won't be back to find out. read more

Just weeks after I wrote my review we learn that Ernie is no longer cleaning window blinds. He has restricted his business to the repair of Hunter-Douglas blinds only. Sad to hear this. At a loss who to call for venetian blinds cleaning. read more

I had a great experience with this blind cleaning company. Although I had to wait for about two months to get an appointment, Ernie showed up as promised the day of the cleaning. He very efficiently removed the blinds, took note of what parts needed replacing etc. We had about 24 window blinds, all different sizes. he took them to his shop and brought them back and reinstalled them the same day. Talk about "service with a smile" !! Ernie is just the best and my window blinds are just like new! read more

I was referred here by my father in law. Our blinds genuinely looked brand new when we picked them up. He even re-strung a few of them which had been damaged by cats throughout the years. Absolutely beautiful job, and I would love to come back, however I was told after he cleaned them that he does not normally clean that particular style of blind, as they are difficult to hang dry. I was also shamed probably 6-7 times regarding how dirty my blinds were. I said yes, they are very dirty, that's why I'm giving you my business. I didn't have a pleasant experience in that regard, and I left feeling like I had done something wrong by bringing my dirty blinds into a business who cleans blinds. But the exceptional job is why I'm giving 4/5 stars, so thanks Ernie. read more

Very knowledgeable with our various Hunter Douglas blinds. We just moved to the area and our house has many existing blinds. They are at least 15 yrs old but in decent shape. Some needed repair. Ernie did a great job and we will bring some other ones for his to fix. read more

I was referred to Blindingly Clean by my mom's landlord for a mandatory blind cleaning before her move out of her apartment. Ernie was absolutely wonderful in helping me find the most economical way to managed the task, teaching me how to bring down the blinds myself to proactively help me spend the least amount possible vs paying him to do it, which I really appreciated. He also worked with me to find the most convenient timing and coordinated around moms stressful move out perfectly. The blinds were older blinds but Ernie did an amazing job at getting them clean, and not only did he do a perfect job cleaning them but when I went to pick them up I mentioned an issue I was having with my cat eating my blind strings and he gave me a suggestion on what might work well and let me have the parts to try it! So I highly recommend Blindingly Clean / Ernie, I trust him completely and he does an excellent job at the best price possible. read more

Great job! Very accommodating and knowledgeable. Prompt. Will definitely use them in the future! Thank you very much! read more

Ernie, the owner of Blindingly Clean has been my "GO TO" window treatment guru for over fifteen years. He is a wizard at window treatment installation, cleaning, and knowledge. He's also professional, funny and efficient. I highly recommend Blindingly Clean for all of your window treatment needs. read more

Ernie completed a repair of our blinds (broken pull cord) in short order at an extremely reasonable price. So glad to have found him.

Outstanding service! Ernie shares his rather extensive knowledge and his decades of experience easily and understandably. His product knowledge was invaluable when we bought a new shade, and he services, cleans (!) and repairs everything he sells. This is our new "go to" guy for all things blinds related. Thanks Ernie, see you soon. read more

Ernie is the best! He has been very helpful coming up with creative solutions in our new home here in Oakmont. He has also been quick to respond to repair request on a couple of our older blinds. Highly recommend! Jeff and Shar read more

Blindingly Clean - Custom Hunter-Douglas sliding pantry door - Shades & Blinds Near Me - Santa Rosa, California

I've never written a Yelp review, but this business deserves one. I took four top down/bottom up pleated blinds to be cleaned. The right side bottom-raising string of the largest, 53" wide shade, broke as I removed the blind. Along with a cleaning, I asked for the string to be repaired, and kind of assumed he would also do the other-side string, since if one old one breaks, the other string is not far behind. He didn't figure that out, no big deal. Once I got home and rehung the blinds, the string he replaced for raising the bottom was too short, so the blind now hung crooked. I called for a convenient time to bring it back, saying I was happy to pay for the repair and for the other string to be replaced. When I arrived , he was on a cranky call with his tax person, left me standing over 20 minutes, then decided he didn't have time for my blind after all, starting in on how it was cheap and the strings were tangled on the left side, which raises and lowers the top, a diversionary tactic away from the too-short string he put on the right for raising the bottom. He wasted nearly two hours of my time altogether for that trip. So, I called for another appointment. I showed up, he said to leave the blind and kill an hour or so. I came back in two hours, just as another customer was leaving. The blind was not done. He started in again how my blind was cheap ($186 in 2010 for that one custom blind at Lowe's) and the strings were tangled on the left, top-raising side (that I wasn't complaining about), how the plastic hanging brackets (that I didn't need anyway) weren't standard, he didn't have them, blah blah blah, all these teenage 'reasons' to distract from the bad repair he had done on the right. I listened quietly. It's always embarrassing to meet an adult like that. The issue was, the blind wasn't level now at the bottom. The string he 'fixed' was obviously too short so the blind couldn't go down far enough to be level on that side. I'm guessing he previously just tied new pull strings with plastic tassels onto the old broken string, but didn't restring it. I pointed out, having now asked for new strings also on the unbroken side, that if the strings there WERE tangled (they worked fine) that's what I was paying him to fix, and that the blind had been level before he 'fixed' it. He said, "I'm not taking responsibility for that." He had the blind hanging on brackets behind him and adjusted for a good show, which pulling the strings again would destroy (you have to fuss with it by hand, back and forth, back and forth, to get it to hang kind of near level). He tried to make the problem seem insignificant. I took the blind and left, as I wasn't going to get a good job, or any job, out of him. He was basically refusing to do the work I wanted or to fix his previous work, even though I reiterated I was happy to pay. And he was just going to keep whining about my 'cheap' blind the whole time. My conclusion? He makes more money dunking blinds into a vat for two minutes at $125 and hanging them up to dry than he does on repair work. Even though I called for a good time to come, he was interrupted, couldn't get it done, didn't know how, or didn't want to anyway and decided to cut me loose. Apparently he has no integrity about his own repair work. I called another local company, they said no worries, it's easy, we can do that at your house in 15 or 20 minutes ... read more

Very impressed with Ernie. Our blinds were really dirty after the Tubbs Fire and wasn't sure if we'd be able to get them clean again.

I highly recommend Blindingly Clean. You won't be disappointed read more

We bought our beautiful Hunter Douglas blinds from Ernie when we moved into our new house six years ago. There was no hard sell, just enthusiasm for a great product. Today we just got the blinds back from a cleaning at Blindingly Clean. He had picked them up a couple of weeks ago and returned them today all sparkling. The removal and reinstallation were speedy, hassle-free, and cheerful. A great experience! read more

I have to say that I was very excited to have our blinds professionally cleaned today. I had talked with Ernie and we set up a time to have him pick them up and bring them back. He said he knew our neighborhood well and had had many clients nearby. I looked forward to today. He showed up very agitated and was angry that our house was hard to find. Granted we live on a quiet rural street, and most people get lost, call and then we greet them in the driveway. No biggie. We are used to that. He was rude and disrespectful from the start. "Your house is impossible to find" " your blinds are difficult to clean". Yes, exactly why I am hiring you Sir, You said that you could clean them, and in one day. The list goes on and on of how unprofessional our meeting was. Long story short, he took half of the blinds, he cleaned them beautifully, but not without a massive rant again at the reinstall about how tough they are to clean. I can say that the blinds are clean and bright again, he did a beautiful job. But I will not be hiring him again anytime soon to finish the job. I'm sad about that. My review...People skills go a long way when you own a business. read more

We have a 70" mini blind in our kitchen that had a string fraying so they would not lower properly. We were going to recycle them somewhere, but my wife found Ernie's place, (Blindingly Clean). Ernie said they were quality blinds that could be restrung and cleaned. In a couple of hours they were all done and ready to rehang. We are quite pleased that we didn't have to go shopping for new ones and have blinds that look every bit as good as they did when we first bought them 10 years ago. Thanks Ernie. read more

WOW !! Awesome service , truly a lost art of customer service. Ernie goes above and beyond. Saved me hundreds of dollars . I took my patio vertical blinds in for repair only to be told that they were indeed fine. And they were. I than ask about bringing in the rest of my window blinds in for cleaning and he gave me a price much less than I had expected. So I left them overnight and he had them cleaned and ready to go within 24 hours. However he had told me about 1 blind which was faded and discolored and told me they had lifetime warranty from Hunter Douglas. 100 % guaranteed. Wow ! I couldnt believe it. I feel like I hit a jackpot. Thanks Ernie. read more

Not only did he clean our blinds, he replaced hardware in our home, handles for the blinds and educated us on how to get the most out of our blinds so that they would last us longer. On top of all that, when he returned to reinstall our blinds, he showed up with an additional one for our loft area and installed it for us! Quite impressive! You just don't find people who go above and beyond like that! We will definitely be using him again in the future and recommend him to anyone needing their blinds repaired, cleaned, etc. read more
