Cutting Edge is everything the name implies! I needed fast and sturdy blinds for a rental property and I didn't want the dated-looking faux wood blinds from a big box store. Then Rick entered and took over the measuring, providing samples and thorough installation! He kept me posted all the along the way - and I have now referred Cutting Edge to several of my clients! Can't go wrong! read more

Cody came to fix out blinds at the office and did a GREAT job. On-time, professional, kind, clean. Thanks man!

This 5-star review is for Mike's reasonable approach to resolving potential conflict. The guys were pleasant and did their best, but we needed a few kinks worked out. Mike listened and met us in the middle, and we're genuinely impressed and relieved. We're excited to see our vision come to fruition. read more

BUYER BEWARE. I hired Cutting Edge to install custom motorized roller shades in my home in 2016. I caution you from trusting any 5 star reviews because they threatened to withhold my refund if I wrote a bad review. I ended up suing Cutting Edge for their shoddy work and was awarded the full refund including court costs from the judge. Their installer permanently damaged my brand new window frames by drilling over 100 holes during the "fitting phase" and Cutting Edge's "custom" design solution for my windows was a joke. The total project was quoted over $18K. I tried tirelessly to get this issue fixed for 11 months. Cutting Edge (Dan, Gavin, and Mike) were rude, unprofessional, and as I mentioned above, tried to bully me. I did my own research and found a proper mounting and bracket solution which I presented to Cutting Edge as a possible cure. They rejected the solution and told me it wouldn't work. After months of waiting (and with these unsightly improper shades on my windows) I went ahead with another installer and ordered the correct brackets. When I let Cutting Edge know this they snidely remarked that if in fact what we ordered worked they would refund my money and send me a "$500 gift certificate to the restaurant of my choice". For the record, this solution worked and is beautiful. I have yet to receive said gift certificate. read more

You will not find a better company for your drapery or shade needs. I contacted Gavin of Cutting Edge Drapery in San Francisco to give us an estimate for the new drapery at St. Cecilia's Church. Within a couple of days he came to measure, brought samples of fabric, and I had their estimate. They have now completed our project, replacing three of the panels. They are extremely courteous and very professional. Their work is impeccable! So refreshing to see that quality of workmanship still exists today. They have really made a showplace of our beautiful altar. I cannot say enough about their installation crew. Mike was always on time and willing to please. I am so happy I found them - you will not be disappointed. read more

Response to Cutting Edge Drapery: ***Thank you for apologizing in the email, but Yelp is an outlet where an individual can review a business on the basis of what the business provides. It defeats the purpose if I change or remove a review. Your company did the job well, but the way that it was carried out was below my standards. Looking at the reviews that followed mine, it seems that they've had a better experience with you. That is the case from time to time. I do wish your company the best. I have other thoughts, but I think I've said all I have to say. 1. Businesses usually do not charge to come out and give a quote. For instance, I currently have carpet cleaning done at the office and they came from San Mateo to San Jose to give a quote. No charge or talk of charge. How is it fair that you charge for assessment only if we were to use your company? So the other companies that call out for a quote, you do not charge them if they do not use you? Is this correct? 2. Your business is to repair a job, not to annouce to the world that it fell down because we placed a screen on it. To be perfectly frank, that is not the reason why it fell. So please keep this professional. 3. Vans, labor, gas, auto insurance, medical insurance, tools, screws, and rent. Understandable that a business has to conduct within their financial means. Just please don't say one thing and do the other. I base this on onsite arrival and installation. When your men came, it literally took them 30 minutes to put half the screen back up. You can say it lasted an hour, but you were not here installing it. 4. To clarify further, you said this was a 1 hour job. Shouldn't it be only $250 still? ***I am writing a review on my experiences with your company. Plain and simple. No biases. read more

I contacted cutting edge drapery for some shades for the my company office. Not only did they come the next day to give a quote, but they provided us with the quote the same day! Within a couple of weeks the drapes were here and their installer was extremely professional and efficient. Andrew and Gavin were super detailed and communicated through the entire process. ReadyTech is a loyal customer to the Cutting Edge Crew. Thanks guys read more

2007: I have used them to put blinds and roller shades in my home twice. Once when we moved initially moved in and then after a remodel. I believe the actual owner came out to measure all my windows and sliding doors. This even before he new I was going to be a customer. There was no charge for coming out to give me a quote. Very patient and allowed me to keep quite a number of sample books at my home until I made up my mind. When I made up my mind (finally), his prices were very reasonable, especially for the level of service I received. The installers were friendly and professional, they cleaned up after themselves. (My pet peeve about contractors of any kind). I will use them again and most definitely for any business I would own. Update 2016: I have since upgraded to motorized blackout shades from Cutting Edge for the bedrooms and we love love them! Would never think of going anywhere else. read more

I had searched for a couple of years for the perfect shades. Cutting Edge Drapery had just the shades to fit my modern house and budget. With the myriad amount of questions I had, Dan answered my questions in a timely manner. Mick installed the shades and every time he came to my house he was right on time and super professional. I am a tough person to impress, but this company went far beyond expectations. My shades look fantastic. read more

Gavin came out to my company's San Francisco office for a quote very quickly after I had initially contacted him. He is very professional and friendly and very knowledgeable. He went over all of our options and gave us really wonderful suggestions. We decided to do the sheerweave blinds with a motor. From quote to install was quick and the install was done in a morning in just a few hours. The crew did a beautiful job and not only are the blinds fantastic, but they cleaned up and left the place looking better than when they came. I highly recommend Gavin and his team for any shade/blind work you need done. You will not be disappointed. read more

I was in need of a blackout shade because my bedroom window was letting in too much light in the morning and waking me up. I reached out to Cutting Edge Drapery and they set up a time to come out and measure the next day and had samples for me to look at so I could pick a fabric. The technician that came to measure and install was very professional and friendly. Then I'm now able to get a full night's sleep without being woken up. Thank you guys! read more

Thanks again Cutting Edge Drapery! My last client that I referred to you just called to thank me for the second time. The automatic roller shades that guys recommended and installed look great! They love that at a flip of a switch will lower and/or raise coverings on all 15 windows. I have been a Realtor here in San Francisco for over 14 years and have had the pleasure of doing business with Cutting Edge drapery at least a dozen times. They have done everything from large commercial projects, all the way down to a single covering for client of mine. The guys down at Cutting Edge run a tight ship from Gavin or Dan that give the estimates to the guys that do the install. On time, courteous and always professional. I should also mention that after I saw an installation they did for a client of mine. I had them come in, design and install a "James Bond" fully remote roller shade set up for my home. My family and I love the work they did! Always a pleasure, Darryl Honda Zephyr Real Estate 415.261.0900 read more

Had to have some new shades installed at my office. Saw cutting edge drapery in a google search and they happened to be near by. Gave them a call and they were very easy to deal with. They came and gave me and estimate and had someone there in under a week. The installer , Cody, came alone and finished the job 100% with over an hour to spare. Everything works perfectly. He Even called and checked up on me a few days later. Highly recommend. read more

I hired Cutting Edge to install the shades in my new home. The owner, Gavin, is honest with high integrity. The workers are politely and professional. The quality of work of is top-notch. They covered the furniture and floor and always cleaned up after each job. Due to the uneven ceiling that comes with the building, the workers have to spend extra time to install the shades and facias with special care. A special shout out to the awesome Justin. He did magic to install the last piece of shade on the exceptionally uneven ceiling. We are extremely happy with the end results. I highly recommend Cutting Edge Drapery for any window treatment installation projects. read more

The Cutting Edge installation team did a GREAT job! They were patient, attentive to detaills, considerate of my home and took their time to make sure that all was perfect and that I was "happy"! Could not have asked for more. I tip my hat to Cutting Edge and Gavin for providing a great product and service at a very competitive price. I had two other proposals; bottom line is that I didn't trust the others and their prices were considerably higher. read more

We can attest that Cutting Edge Drapery is the only company we work with, trust, and would recommend--for any job. We have been working with them since 2010, when the current chief engineer at the Ritz Carlton highly recommended them for the job we were doing in their hotel. We have been working with Cutting Edge ever since. In fact, we just completed work on a $300 million winery facility, and they did all of our window shades. They are also currently helping us on a $14 million dollar private residence. Although they specialize in commercial shading, they do some large scale drapery and soft goods as well. We can say we wouldn't work with anyone else. Furthermore, even when we have had to provide alternate bids, they still come in the lowest. Finally, they are all great to work with. Dennis is always there to field our calls, and Gavin is brilliant and knows what to recommend and no project is too difficult. They have never let us down, and we only hope they have no plans to retire soon! Studio DIVo Design read more

A couple of months ago I needed a couple of drop down shades for my home theater room. I had setup a projector with a large screen, and the room needed to have better light control during the day. I contacted Dan @ Cutting Edge and he promptly came out, measured the windows and offered me an amazing deal. Originally, since these windows were about 20 feet off the ground I had asked Dan for shades with electric motors. However, Dan took the time and explained the most cost effective solution -- chain control. He could have certainly made a lot more money if he went with my suggestion, however, he went out of his way to find the most cost effective solution to solve the problem. In the future I will not hesitate to use Dan and the crew at Cutting Edge for my window covering needs. read more

I needed some replacement parts for some roller shades at my house. Alex and his crew were very helpful, found exactly what I needed, and instructed me on installation back at my home. Their product worked perfectly and I now have fully functioning window shades at my house again. These guys rock. read more

Cutting Edge Drapery has installed shades in my last two homes and are currently working on our 3rd and final remodel. Not only have they always done great work but they have also made recommendations that we would have not otherwise known. For example, we recently finished remodeling our master bath, my wife wanted shutters. When Dan came out to measure he pointed out something we completely over looked and why shutters were not the best option for our situation. Dan showed my wife an alternative that she ended up loving more then her shutter idea. Once the house is done, Cutting Edge will finish all the windows. As a REALTOR, I have referred cutting edge to many of my clients. I am giving Cutting Edge 5 Stars and recommending them to you too. read more

Recommended to us by an architect in town as the folks who know their business best and deliver. Professional, helpful, efficient, superb design, install, and post-install support. After seeing our unit, they stepped out of their box a bit to give us some design advice when we asked. They clearly "got" what we were trying to do, and proposed a few design changes that were simpler (and actually less costly than what some other folks had proposed). Their pricing was competitive vs. others with no need for back and forth. Their install was flawless and professional. The folks we worked with were all very personable and helpful. They came out twice, very quickly, for warranty support when one roller shade failed over two years, no questions asked. Could not recommend a contractor more highly. For those who care, they installed several motorized shades with wireless control and timers on 10'x10' windows in sunny SOMA location. They came up with some interesting ideas for floating panels of solar shade fabric in one location that met our design needs, took us to their showroom when we were navel-gazing over some small issues, and gave us good advice not to install boxes around our roller shades. They helped negotiate spousal agreement with good analytical advice! read more

We recently required repair service on our motorized shades at our office in Santa Clara. The service was impeccable at a very reasonable price. The repair service technician, Brooks, was extremely professional and very helpful with instructions how to keep the shades in good working order. It is really wonderful to see a company retain such good employees who are such a fine representation of the company in the field. Thank you again for the great service!!!

Cutting Edge Drapery installed motorized shades for us. Their installers and especially the lead person (Jose Valle) were really terrific. Jose in particular was very easy to be around, very patient with us, explained everything very well. He was exceptional in every way. Please thank all of them and especially let Jose know how much we appreciated all of his efforts. read more

My drapes finally matched the carpet for once. Fantastic service and quality. One stop shop for your high end window covering needs.

DON'T USE THIS BUSINESS. They were supposed to show up between 2:00-3:00 pm for the initial appointment. I waited till 3:15pm for Mike to show up and at that point I called the office only to be told that Mike will not be coming at all. They did not have the courtesy to even place a call to me and the person answering the phone was indifferent. Also ----I previously received an e-mail from them asking me to give them the dimensions of my windows so that they can do a rough estimate of the cost. I thought that was rather strange since they had no idea what I would want. MY TIME WAS WASTED! DON'T WASTE YOUR'S. read more

Gavin was very helpful when it came to selecting the right motorized shades for our apartment. I heard horror stories from friends saying battery-powered motorized shades didn't work well, so I was a bit skeptical, but Gavin pointed us in the right direction. The QMotion shades that we purchased have been working well for over a year. During the sales process, I never felt like Gavin was trying to get us to buy something we didn't need (he actually talked us out of getting some smaller shades), and the installer, Justin, was among the most professional that I've worked with. About a year after the original installation, we had an issue replacing the batteries that they helped us resolve in a timely and professional manner, so it's clear they stand behind the products they sell. Highly recommended overall. read more

I was in the market for automated window treatments and had a hard time finding what I wanted via online search. I happened to see one of their trucks and decided to give them a call -- it worked out really well. From the first telephone conversation, Gavin sent me brochures, swatches of possibilities, and quotes based on the information that I provided. Once I was ready, he came to the house (on the Peninsula) and confirmed the measurements and made suggestions to improve the overall finished look and experience. He made recommendations on brand (Somfy vs. others), power (plugged in vs. battery operated), light transmission (sheer, blackout, or both), providing several different quotes to help me compare. As I made decisions, he helped me understand the accessory options (wall senders, hand senders, and WiFi/mobile app) and made recommendations. Michael and his team installed the shades/senders and it is beautiful and functional. I am very pleased that I rarely open/close the shades anymore as "MySomfy" opens the scenes that I have designated via WiFi at Sunrise and closes the scenes that I have designated at Sunset. I love it! read more

Highly recommend Cutting Edge drapery! Excellent service and price!

We worked with Gavin at Cutting Edge as an out of town design firm needing a local fabricator and installer. They provided motorized shades, drapery and roman shades all of which were done beautifully. They were a pleasure to work with. They coordinated with the contractor and audiovisual people. They were prompt with quotations and installations. They were very professional and their installers could not have been more accommodating and courteous. When I requested a service they came on the same day to address my concerns which was key since I was only in town for the day. I would highly recommend using Cutting Edge for any quality installation! read more

Cutting Edge Drapery did my office in the Embarcadero Center's shades. The job was done quickly and the interactions I had with the technicians were very professional. I was impressed that they were sensitive to a casual meeting I was having in a conference room and made sure it was ok to come in and install the last shade of the job. It was no problem AND it took no time at all. I was surprised at how quick they worked and after having the shades for a few months I can say they are great quality. Will definitely be a repeat customer! read more

Cutting Edge Drapery installed motorized bamboo shades in my home. I love the one touch controls for our multi windowed living room. As a Foreman for a major electrical contractor, I have had the opportunity to work with them over the last 10 years on numerous commercial jobs downtown SF. They are very good about pre-close in site visits, communication, details, and meeting the tight schedules imposed by the GC's. We recommend Cutting Edge Drapery and continue to refer them for projects with motorized window treatments. Thanks Again Cutting Edge read more
