I contacted the firm to request a quote on replacing the old drapes at my front window. They were really falling apart after 40+ years. Jolynn Rodriquez came to the house, and managed to climb up the 40 steps from the sidewalk carrying several books of samples. We picked a couple of fabrics. She took measurements and gave me a reasonable price, estimating delivery in about 6 weeks. In 7 weeks she called and we made an appointment for the installation. Spencer did the installing in just about one hour. The drapes did not meet at the bottom hems. I called Jolynn, and she came up that day. She climbed on my ladder, did some adjustments at the top, and fixed the problem. I am very impressed with the wide range of fabrics she had to pick from, her reasonable pricing, her delightful installer, and her ability to fix the problem. I recommend her highly! read more

I found Jolynn at Drapery Works on Yelp to get started on a project. I wasn't sure if I was going to contact a number of companies to get estimates but once I met Jolynn I know I wanted to move forward with her. She was forthcoming with her recommendations and understanding of my questions and hesitations. The price was right and the installation was smooth. I am so happy with my new blinds and will call Jolynn again if I need more! read more

Jolynn and team are rockstars. Helpful every step of the way and very responsive to any questions that we had.

Jolynn and her team did phenomenal work - my curtains are perfectly done and elegant. Window treatments are not inexpensive but I got far better quality and value than the national retailer I had looked at. I also appreciated Jolynn's patience when I had second thoughts on my color selection - she sent more photos and offered to come back for another consultation if needed. Drapery Works will be my first call and first recommendation for any future window treatments! read more

We understand that you can buy shades and blinds and drapes and put them up yourself. We understand that we can go out and be our own general contractor, arranging construction, delivery, and every detail. But, that is not us. Some of our blinds came with the house when we bought it 32 years ago. Seriously. They mostly still worked, and the few that had broken off were no huge deal. Right? The replacement blinds a chain put in a few years ago in the livingroom were falling apart and awkward, but we bought them because we were -- and still are -- ignorant of the latest styles and options. We went to the chain because they offered a one-stop solution, and that appealed to us. This time we did want a better quality installation. And, we needed to replace a mix of window coverings: shades that opened from the top, shades that opened either top or bottom, and the same in blinds. Where to go? We went here to Yelp and called a top-rated company. He thanked us but said he had moved on to another speciality, BUT he suggested that we call Jolynn. Well. Excellent. She understood what we wanted both in terms of the coverings and in terms of the handholding. She came over a couple times to show us options in styles and colors. She talked to us, and politely pushed us to finally make decisions -- if we don't replace something in 32 years you understand that a little push might be helpful! She set our expectations on when the coverings would be made by the manufacturers and the time for the installation process. She beat both the delivery time and the installation effort. When there was a problem with one measurement which she'd made, there was no question about whether we really needed an exact fit. Drapery Works simply came back in two weeks and installed the perfect match. I apologize to Jolynn for not posting this review sooner -- I believe the work was completed in November. But, I kept thinking that SOMETHING must show up as a glitch. Nothing has. All 15 blinds/shades and 2 curtain coverings are perfect. We completely trust and recommend Jolyn read more

Replacing worn Hunter Douglas window coverings was way past due. The company I had used years ago recommended Jolyn of Drapery Works to me. Start to finish everything went smoothly. I'm very happy to have worked with Jolyn. Her vision for my needs delivered. I'm very happy with my new shades. She just called to see how the installation went. How's that for service? read more

Working with Jolynn was a pleasure. Her help with drapery design, fabric selection, and installation was so reassuring. and the results!! - could not be better. 5 star. read more

We had an amazing experience with Jolynn and Drapery Works! When our blackout blinds broke less than 2 months before my due date, we worried that replacing them would be difficult before the baby arrived. Jolynn was very easy to communicate with and set up a quick consultation, where she helped us pick the right options for us and our space. Despite other sites and vendors indicating that shipping could take two months or more, we had the blinds installed within 5 weeks! The installation went incredibly smoothly, and we are so happy with our new blinds. read more

Drapery Works is the Best! I had a problem with my drapes that were installed improperly by another company. Jolynn was so helpful and gracious on the phone. Spencer came out exactly at his appointment time, immediately recognized the problem, and fixed the draperies. Amazing and wonderful service. read more

I am beaming in my bright home that is so lovely, now that we have cellular shades. Full disclosure, I was adamant I did not want cellular shades. Jolynn came in and listened to my argument for why they were wrong, and proceeded to show me what they could do for us. She did not make me feel stupid, but instead, she helped me see the light, pun intended. :) I can't believe we waited this long!!! They are intuitive, easy, lightweight, and really spectacular. This was all accomplished in less than a month, and we are thrilled with the result. She guided us through the process seamlessly, and I can't recommend her enough. read more

Jolynn is simply the best to work with! I had bought drapes and sheers from her many years ago. I called her for a couple of different current needs in my home. She returned my call immediately and came to meet with me within days. She helped me choose new window coverings for some rooms and ordered replacements for sheers that had gotten old and brittle in others. She warned me that, due to the holidays coming up soon, it would be around 6 weeks for delivery. Part of the order was actually in and installed in 10 days and the rest within a month. The installation days were scheduled immediately and the work was done perfectly! I can't tell you how easy Jolynn made everything for me!!! Nothing but the highest recommendation!! read more

Jolynn did a great job helping us pick out fabric, and creating drapes that are exactly what we wanted. Her team is amazing. We needed room darkening curtains, and have concrete ceiling with floor to ceiling windows. I love how it turned out. read more

Choosing window coverings for the many windows in our new home was overwhelming. Jolynn made the process manageable and even fun. Her knowledge about the Hunter Douglas products we chose, her ideas, suggestions, and positive attitude were all great. The installation of our blinds and drapery happened in three phases and Jolynn was responsive in keeping us up to date. Her installation person, Spencer, was equally great - he was professional, respectful, and did a beautiful job. read more

A few years ago I purchased 8 window/door shades from Drapery Works. They are exactly what I was looking for and are the perfect blend of form and function. 7 of them have worked perfectly but 1 kept getting tangled/caught and would stop functioning. While the others went up/down with ease this particular one just would not work properly. Jolynn was *extremely* helpful in getting a replacement sent to me and helping to solve this headache. I highly recommend Drapery Works for both the quality of product and customer service. Thanks Jolynn! read more

Jolynn helped us select and install new Hunter Douglas blinds in our new home. We had a great experience with her and would recommend her to anyone. We had been working with another Hunter Douglas retailer originally that was not as helpful or knowledgeable. She did a great job explaining the options to us and came back again to help us make final decisions. The blinds are definitely an investment but we're very happy with them and the service Jolynn provided. read more

Jolynn is a window artist. From start to finish she advised every step of the way, recommended certain products for our various windows, and listened to what we wanted. If you need help dressing windows her assistance is worth every penny. Thank you Jolynn! read more

After having the room remodeled as a home theater room I needed really good drapes to use the room on sunny days. After reading the reviews on Yelp and studying the photos on Yelp and her website I called Jolynn and she responded right away. We exchanged pictures from our smart phones so she could understand what I needed and set up an appointment within two days! She arrived on time and really took many measurements and we discussed colors and features. She really knows her stuff having done this for quite a while. She really takes in the customers comments into her designs. She also quoted me up to five or six weeks on the invoice and in my case longer than that for installation. She required full payment up front. She gave me a detailed invoice of what I had paid for and the 'estimated' time it would take before my custom drapes would be installed. In my case that exceeded the estimated five and six weeks! I called Jolynn after six weeks wondering where I was in the queue and she called right back to let me know she would call back within 24 hours with the answer. After exchanging phone messages she set up an appointment for her installer. The installer arrived two hours after the planned window. He installed the first set of drapes, and when he started the second set of drapes it was found out they were cut to the wrong size which meant the installer would have to come back at a later time after they were corrected. I later found out this due to an error by a subcontractor located in the East Bay. The installer returned very shortly and installed the corrected drapery. I was happy with the outcome, but the lengthy delays and flawed construction of the second set of drapery took a couple of stars off in my satisfaction with the whole experience. If you are not in a rush and can absorb the delays she did a OK job that met my requirements. read more

I received quotes from several places but went with Jolynn because of her attention to details and the time she took with us during the design process. Jolynn had a visit to get a sense of our needs. On our initial appointment, she helped us to pick the right fabrics and design that would go with our furniture. The combination of our windows and ceiling is very unique and requires custom design drape. Not an easy job but everything turned out spectacular. The windows look simply gorgeous. Jolynn did all the roller shades in our living room as well. Her service was great. She was very responsive and easy to work with. Her installer, Spencer, was so pleasant, professional and a joy to work with. I highly recommend her and will be sure to contact her for future projects. I have included some photos. read more

I would say Jolynn from Drapery Works ranks as one of the top drapery consultants in the country. I was listing my property on market and wanted to replace my blinds with drapes. These are custom blinds, and hence I expected multiple visits and a long drawn-out process. Not only did Jolynn provide a quote based on pictures and my measurements, the actual cost came lower than the quote and she delivered it complete in record time. I highly recommend Jolynn for anyone looking for a drapery project at home. Ignore the deals from costco or the coupons coming over. You get better price and quality from Drapery Works. Definitely ask for Jolynn read more

I've been a customer of Drapery Works for twenty years. Jolynn has given me the best service and dependability in getting the job done!

Jolyn was referred to us by the condo concierge in a community where we had just purchased. We were not able to be there in person to make selections, but she was very prompt, went to our unit, knew exactly what I wanted and what worked best for the space. In this time of vendors being so busy, she was extremely responsive, kind and helpful. The end result was amazing!!! I would recommend her for any project. She has an eye for what works in any space! read more

Jolynn continues to be incredibly helpful to me, my friends, and my family! She helped me redo all of the window treatments in my 1870 SF home with beautiful, tasteful window treatments that worked together so well throughout the house and yet gave uniqueness to each room. Then, when my partner moved in and blackout blinds were required in several rooms, she worked with both of us and helped us find a solution that met both of our needs. Whew! I'm grateful to her for her tact and creativity! I recommended Jolynn to my friends, my sister, and my parents, all of whom have loved working with her. She does an amazing job of capturing what's important to her clients and translating that into window treatments that suit us all so well. read more

Jolynn takes control and there are no mistakes! ( I always tried to do drapes myself and screwed up) She is helpful and creative and can work with a budget. read more

We had a few different kinds of shades recommended and installed by Drapery Works. Jolynn spent time with us, figured out what we needed and made it all happen. We also had some problems with some of our complicated blackout/sheer shades and Jolynn was super responsive and worked with us until all problems were taken care of. More recently we needed some scuffed shades replaced and this was also a breeze. Jolynn and team are professional, responsive and are great to work with both when there are no issues as well as when there are problems to fix. Highly recommend. read more

My family and I had a 100% positive experience with Jolynn. She helped us replace our blinds in our home in 2020 in a way that everyone's individual preferences were met. She is a good listener and would ask really good questions to help evaluate how to best meet each of our needs. She is clearly knowledgeable and experienced. We loved the outcome and will continue to keep Jolynn in mind for future upgrades. read more

We live in the city and just finished a renovation of our condo. Jolynn did all the roller shades in our living room (motorized on the top level), roller shades on a door leading into a bedroom, and modern floor to ceiling drapes in 3 bedrooms (almost wall to wall on all of them). The interior design style I was going for was modern glamour and everything turned out spectacular. I received quotes from several places but went with Jolynn because of her attention to detail, design experience, and the time she took with me during the design process. On our initial appointment without any commitment yet, she spent an entire morning into late afternoon helping me pick out fabrics and shades that would go with the other design elements and samples (furniture upholstery, carpet, tile, etc). She was very responsive, easy to work with, and reasonably priced for the big job that I was doing. It was about an 8-month wait before we could install because of the remodel, but when they finally went in after everything else was finished, her measurements were spot on. Her installer was so pleasant, professional and a joy to work with. The windows in every room are simply gorgeous. I highly recommend her and will be sure to contact her for future projects. I have included before/after photos. read more

Jolynn was excellent to work with. I was skeptical that having a pro company come in would result in something that would be 'enough better' than what we could do ourselves, considering the price. I was wrong, wrong, wrong. Jolynn had the contacts to find the less-common solution we wanted, the samples on hand to quickly help us narrow down our visual color, style and opacity choices, the design skills to help us create window treatments that would fit our house, and most importantly the experience to properly measure the slightly off-kilter space and make allowances for small variations in both floor-to-ceiling height and in slightly different window-to-corner sizing on the left and right sides. I wouldn't have thought to take those into consideration. The results were excellent, and considering that window coverings are not something we change more than roughly once a decade, well worth the expense. The drapes came in on time, cost what she said they'd cost, were installed beautifully, and look fantastic in our home. I am happy to recommend Drapery Works - they did an awesome job! read more

Jolynn is friendly, courteous, knowledgeable, and professional. I worked with her in late 2018 to order custom Hunter Douglas honeycomb shades for all the windows in my house. She provided helpful advice as I was selecting all the custom options. Her installation team was quick, efficient, and also very professional. This week, one of the shades broke and within a couple days, I was able to coordinate with Jolynn to drop off the shade, get it fixed, and pick it back up, all at no charge! Highly recommend Drapery Works for their levels of service and knowledge. read more

It was a pleasure working with Jolynn. I had NO wondow coverings in my home and she brought wonderful books of colors and fabrics to show me and we worked a few hours at least on choosing the right things for each room. She is very kind and works with you to understand what you want and what you don't want. The end product is beautiful. She did 7 rooms in my home and each goes with the feeling of the room, and the colors! Check out my pictures! I will use her again for the few windows I have left! read more

We were looking for some new drapes to replace our 17 year old ones in the living room. After doing some reviews we contacted Jolynn. She is a representative for Hunter Douglas. She had a huge assortment of samples for us to review and was very knowledgeable about their products. She was patient and willing to work with us even though we were unsure of what we wanted. Finally, we picked some vertical blinds. The installer came a few weeks later and commented that he liked working with Jolynn as she knows how to take proper measurements. He quickly installed our drapes and we are very pleased. We had gone to a nearby retail place that sells Hunter Douglas, but their estimate was 10-20% higher that what Jolynn provided. Additionally, we received a $200 American Express rebate card for buying from her. Will contact her again for future business. read more

Jolynn at Drapery Works is the consummate professional. My parents, who are 91 and 92 years old, wanted new drapes for their living, dining, and bedrooms. They wanted to do this purchase themselves; Jolynn made this possible. My parents are extremely happy with the results, Jolynn delivering exactly what they wanted on time and in a professional manner. My mom, dad, and I highly recommend Drapery Works.

Jolynn was so nice. I called her about a drapery problem. She gave me advice, made some suggestions and really cared about my situation. I tried to do this project myself but have decided to have Jolynn take over. I know she will do a good job. read more

Honestly, this whole experience was a mess. I've tried to give her feedback privately and directly, but she doesn't respond. Her suggestions were wild and out of budget. She didn't talk to me about the mechanisms for the shades even once, and they all have chains. I have 2 little kids, so this isn't safe. She knew that. Her install guy was perpetually late and the first time it was because she gave him the wrong address. She regularly sends what appear to be actual photos she takes of her computer screen that include other customer's personal information. One of the shades just never showed up. It was expensive, she didn't ask the right questions/give helpful guidance, I had to keep following up, and the quality is no different than 3 day blinds. read more

I have met several drapery pros but went with Jolynn even though she wasn't the cheapest. She was very helpful in picking fabrics that matches our furniture and design. I recommend her to everyone who wants to have a gorgeous complementory to to their home. read more

We used Jolynn for shades in two bedrooms and our family room. She was very pleasant to work with and our shades came in early!! Our family room has a bay window with ledges on the sides that kind of stick out so the shades needed to be narrower than the window frame. She had a header made to fit the frame so the shade looks great and works perfectly. her installation guy was just as pleasant as she was. Honestly it was such an easy process from start to finish. Would recommend her without hesitation. Looking forward to calling her for our dining room soon! read more
