He came today (despite very bad weather) to install them. We love our new shades. Everything was very professionally installed, and he removed all the packaging neatly. We highly recommend Paul Conti and ABC Shades and Blinds. Good value for the money. We have the right shades on a large sliding door, windows which needed privacy with top down /bottom up option, and light filtering. We started out thinking we wanted electric but as we reviewed our needs with Paul, ended up deciding against it. Also it was only about a 3 week turnaround from when Paul came to the house to measure, to installation. Great job

After seeing some of the previous reviews, we were weary to use Ellen for a job that is so…read moreexpensive. I have to say, we had a great experience overall. Ellen had many samples with her and she was patient while we walked through the different options in our bedroom and living room. The price was reasonable and the Hunter Douglas brand has been a quality one for some time. The installation went quickly and seamlessly. The gentleman ensured we ok'ed each room post installation. We will be using Ellen in the future for a few more rooms.

Consultation & sales: Ellen was incredible. (I will admit…read morethat it gave me pause to read some of the other reviews about bad installation so I want to leave a review to share the positive experience I had recently). We weren't sure what we needed or what was possible and had lots of questions. She was very thorough, honest and realistic about costs and sharing what would work with our budget. She made recommendations based on what was important to us and realistic for our home/windows (never pushing us into more expensive solutions or overselling) -- and was so helpful weighing the pros/cons of treatment options for each window. She did a consultation and provided an estimate same-day. When we agreed to proceed, she came back and took additional measurements and confirmed how the hardware/treatments would be installed in each window. We felt so supported in the consultation and sales process. Installation: The installer arrived early and communicated this in advance via phone (he even called us when he had a cancellation to see if we wanted to schedule installation on an earlier day) and was generally just incredible. We've been working with a lot of contractors recently and the installer was BEYOND professional and efficient. He finished the installation early and was an absolute pleasure to have in our home (thorough and detail oriented). We are thrilled and would highly recommend Ellen and her team.

Only Good Windows responded and sent someone out to do an estimate. They just finished the job. The original estimate was done from the ground, however when the technician was able to get the unit out of the frame, (This is an old style window), we both saw that additional work had to be done. The tech did the work and did an excellent job. It was only a bit more over the original estimate, but quite reasonable. I highly recommend Good Window Works.

When Yuri came to fix it, it ended up more complicated than it seemed, which I didn't realize. He took the time to fix both the top & bottom windows.

The part came in, so he installed it & thankfully all is well! I totally recommend.
