We started building our new house and we had everything planned except for window dressings. All…read morethe furniture and decor details were set, but somehow we overlooked window dressings. After attending a few home shows, we realized we wanted plantation shutters in our home. We talked to multiple companies and got pricing from each. Blinds and Shutters Direct were the most helpful, knowledgable, gave us the best customer service, and was able to give the best value for our budget. Michael and his installation crew were very meticulous and professional with the installation process. The installation took a few hours for 22 windows. Michael is very honest and takes pride in his product. He even brought an issue to my attention with one of the shutters. I would not have noticed this issue, but he knows his product well enough to know it wasn't up to his normal standards. He wasn't pleased with the fitment and would order a new one to replace it. It has been a pleasure to work with Michael and Blinds and Shutters Direct. I've already recommended them to some friends and family. Our shutters are beautiful, classic, easy to clean, and have a lifetime warranty. We love how beautiful and bright they make our home look! Big thanks to Michael and his team!

Let me start by saying that this company is fantastic and should be hired for your next project or…read morerepair. I have had the opportunity to work with them twice, once to do a small dryer vent repair/installation and once to replace all my major appliances, upgrade my home's electrical breaker boxes and repair/install new outlets. Both times, their professionalism, frequent communications, and monetary value for services provided were second to none! During projects things sometime do not go according to plan, but this company takes immediate action to correct any problem and to make sure things are set right. I will give you an example, during my appliance replacement, the microwave that was ordered from a vendor in NJ (I believe) was delivered to these folks and had sustained obvious damage during the shipment...not caused by them, but man, before lunch, they had procured the exact same make/model from a local provider which made sure that they did not fall behind schedule; their problem solving was done seamlessly, and took away all my worry about this major project. Really cannot say enough good things about this team....they are my go-to contractor when I need their expertise...do yourself a favor and make them your go-to contractor as well!!

I hired Pokorn to do demo and framing on an interior condo renovation project. It is fortunate that…read moreI kept the initial contracts small. Thankfully, I wasn't stuck with them for the whole project. I have experience in renovation and historical restoration, and am detail oriented, and had high hopes for a successful professional relationship. On the plus side, they were always responsive to my communications, and seemed to understand what needed to be done. On the minus side, I don't know where to begin. All of the work, except management, on our project was handled by sub-contactors, not direct employees of Pokorn. Adding that additional layer of management inflated the cost of the job significantly. Too many generals, not enough soldiers. Their subs are of varying quality. For example, one subcontractor framed for a new closet in a way that partially obstructed an adjacent door because of a measurement mistake on the architect's plans. The sub didn't think "Oh look. Something's not right. I should ask how to proceed". They just went ahead and built it, even though the drawn plans showed no obstruction, necessitating tearing out the mistake and rebuilding. They also put the subfloors down in the bathrooms before the plumbing drain work was done. The plans clearly showed the fixtures being relocated within the rooms. Something else to tear out. When they removed the subfloor I saw that the bathroom vent duct for the bathroom below had very obviously been crushed (stepped on at the joist), which is why the bathroom vent below had no air flow. If the subfloor hadn't needed to be torn out, this air flow problem could have been difficult to diagnose and expensive to fix later on. Somehow all the generals didn't notice the substandard work. All these blunders would be comical if they weren't so frustrating. Pokorn did correct their mistakes after I pointed them out and asked them to, which is the only reason they got 2 stars. I should not have to do this work: it's their responsibility. Read their contract carefully before signing. It is written in a way that keeps too much power in their hands. They are strict about expecting payment within 72 hours of their submitting an invoice, even if they've screwed up and not yet corrected the work being invoiced. If you're late in paying, they can immediately stop work and require an extra $500 to start up again. You can make the payment "under protest", but then have to trust that they will fix the issue. To their credit, they always did, but I was upset that I had to trust a company that was messing up left and right. Why should this even have to happen in the first place? As is pretty standard, they ask for periodic payments as work progresses. They are the sole determiners of when a phase is substantially completed, which is not unusual, but ask for payment at a point when other contactors I've worked with (and I) would have considered the phase only partially completed. These examples do not exhaust the deficiencies or problems experienced during the short time I employed Pokorn. Let the buyer beware.
