Why does everything in a house start breaking at the same time? After a summer of fixing things and…read morea bathroom renovation I was reading to stop pouring money into my house...and then my kids blinds ALL broke at the same time. On top of that I decided our old window treatments weren't quite right for our new gorgeous bathroom so reached out to my trust decorator for recommendations. She said she's had nothing, but great experiences with Gotcha Covered...and looks like (based on the stellar reviews) that many yelpers agree. I called last Monday and found time on a Saturday morning for a sales rep (Jay) to stop by. Saturdays are ideal for my work schedule, although when he stopped by at 10am I had 3 kids I had to kick out of their rooms (especially the teenager) so he walked into a bit of craziness, but didn't seem bothered by it. Within an hour we chose hunter douglas room darkening shades for my kids rooms, as well as a custom made silhouette window shade for our bathroom. My decorator facetimed to help us pick a color and fabric for the window, which ended up being a quick 5 min call. We were able to match all the shades to the existing trim in all the rooms and then Jay was off. Jay promised a quote by Monday, but delivered it Saturday afternoon. While pricey it ended up being much less than I expected (also included a designer referral discount) and I"m really happy with everything we ordered. I did think about shopping around, but decided to just go with Gotcha Covered based on the stellar reviews, great service from Jay and the price seemed fair (even chatgpt agreed :)). They required a 50% deposit to place the order and promised to deliver/install in 4-6 weeks. I'll update my review after installation, but I'm happy so far!

The owner came out the next day and fixed it. He also reviewed with us how to prevent this from happening again. That's great service!

Kyle is amazing, if you are looking for shades stop looking and get on his list because in my…read moreopinion you will never find a better shade company. He is honest, informative patient experienced and in my opiinion was made to be a shade contractor. He is all of those things and more. My wife was loosing her sight and we called his company. We needed some one who was going to help us with our problems and he did muuh more than we expected. He was about half done in our living room whem my wife noticed a bit of light that was bothering her, we did not say anything because he did everything that he said he was going to do. But Kyle over heard us and with a good deal of extra work he changed the installed ones and fimished the job where every thing was completel perfect and never charged us a penny more. Thank uou so so mucch Kyle. We wish you the best.. Tony & Diana Park Ridge

Kyle met all his commitments, was flexible in providing recommendations and multiple quotes for us to choose from as we decided on the specific work we wanted done, and communicated frequently throughout the project. The price seemed reasonable compared to other options we looked at, and I liked that they were responsible for installation of their products. I would definitely use them again.

I was told that they don't do repairs. This really wasn't a repair just needed a quick fix so I didn't wreck it Told to go on line and fine a repair shop. No effort was made . Not what I expect from a quality blind store. Will steer clear of Ambiance from now on.

Their pricing was good -- I did online comparisons to be sure. Their showroom was very helpful because we could go there and see various options in person and view how the automation alternatives actually worked. Their in-home visit enabled us to choose materials and colors right in the environment where the blinds would be installed. We choose automated blinds that change position relative to the sunrise and sunset so that we have the perfect combination of light and privacy in our family room with window walls on three sides. We can also control our blinds with Amazon's Alexa or Apple's Siri. This shows the kind of experience that we appreciate. We are so glad to hear that they have relocated to Wilmette, closer to us. This is the kind of service and expertise that this area deserves!
