    Kelly F.

    I would have been a reoccurring customer, however, I don't have time to twiddle my thumbs waiting on someone to show up for an appointment that was booked days ago. Rewind to 4 years ago, we used Duff to install blinds in our new construction home, once we actually got him out there to install, the product was fine. Got the quote back, it was well priced and we set a date for install. Then the installation date got pushed back twice for various reasons; the blinds were on backorder from his distributor (plain white faux wood blinds, nothing special) and then he was on vacation (that's ok, I get it). On the date of installation, he was very, very late to our appointment and did not end up leaving our house until almost 11 pm. Why would I remember this? Well, because I had a 2 year old that would not go to bed while everyone else was up. It was a nightmare. BUT, the blinds were in and I moved on with my life. Fast forward to the present and we have built a new home and need blinds. I called Duff's Blinds twice (a few days apart) and left messages before I got a text that he was sorry for the delay and was "slammed" (I'm busy too buddy. I have two young kids and a job too where I travel frequently... but I digress) but he could meet me at 10 am on Friday. Well, I get a text at 9:30 am Friday that it was going to be 10:30 am. Ok, I say (kind of perturbed because I took vacation time from work to meet him, but ok, things happen). I text back at 10:36 am for an ETA and get a text back that he *hopes* to be there in 20 min. Wait, WHAT? Did I miss a text that he sent to let me know that it was going to be an additional 20 minutes???? (Thumbing through texts...) NOPE. I would not have been aware had I not asked for an ETA. So I cancel the appointment. He did offer to meet me later that day, but honestly, how do I even know he will show up on time or at all?? And at that point my husband and kids would be there too whining for dinner. Plus, I TOOK PERSONAL TIME OFF from work for this morning appointment. This seems to be a trend or at the least, we are very unlucky when it comes to a timely experience with Duff. Bottom line is this, the product the first time we hired him was fine, reasonably priced. I gave him the benefit of the doubt that this was an isolated experience and decided to use him again for our new house. HOWEVER, when the second interaction starts out this way, I no longer can assume the best. I will just pay a little extra elsewhere in order to be able to rely on the person. By the way, while waiting on Duff, I counted my windows. I needed 26 window coverings. It was not a "small" job. Edited to add: NOTHING from the pictures below were edited out except my address. He did reach out to me AFTER this post was originally made (and the one on google). Clearly this business owner can't accept responsibility for his actions of not being on time to a scheduled appointment and not being a business professional. All the protest in his response must have hit a nerve... perhaps I'm not the only customer to have experienced this with him?

    Duff's BBB Complaint with similar behavior: https://www.bbb.org/us/tn/murfreesboro/profile/blinds/duffs-custom-window-treatments-0573-37033335/complaints Overall lack of customer service due to his very busy schedule that he sets for himself. Excuses, excuses, excuses instead of solutions. No responsibility taken on behalf of the business owner on delinquent orders and or visits. Our order was placed incorrectly the first time then he forgot to place the rest of the order twice, totaling over 14 weeks of waiting after the initial install. He never followed up after initial install. We had to follow up repeatedly to determine the status of the order. Ended up installing last blinds myself since installer did NOT wear a mask and made no time available that worked for us. Screenshots of texts conversations are included with this review to show the mindset and actions of the business owner. These text messages are unedited - a claim Mr. Duff used in attempt to dispute another unsatisfied customer. The initial meeting with Mr. Duff went fine. However, he was 30 minutes late, his samples were unorganized and he wasn't quite sure which items were current and which were discontinued, which came in certain sizes for larger windows, etc. He attributed all of it to being a small business and being so busy during "these times". Mr. Duff said himself that he would not hire anyone else despite being obviously overwhelmed. We placed an order for blinds for our whole home. The blinds came in and were installed in 10 days from the date of the initial order. That part was good. However, our order was not completed during that initial install - one blind was missing and another was not the correct size. After that install and after we had paid for our order, we completely fell off of Duff's radar. More specifically, it took repeated calls and 14 additional weeks to receive the remainder of our blinds. After the initial install AND payment, we heard nothing for 7 weeks. We were promised at time of payment that the last two blinds would be installed within 2 weeks. There was no follow up during those 7 weeks as to the status of our order. Upon contacting him, Mr. Duff told us that he had "forgotten to order the correctly sized blind" and had the other blind in his garage. Again he said that he would have the blinds installed within 2 weeks. We then waited 3 weeks to reach out yet again to Mr. Duff. Again, our job had fallen off of Mr. Duff's to-do list. Mr. Duff responded saying that he would check in his garage because the missing blind was surely there. Mr. Duff did not find the blind in his garage, most likely because it did not magically appear in front of him. Mr. Duff said that the order must have not gone through on his computer. So yet again he is not taking responsibility for his lack of communication, lack of follow up, and forgetting to order the blind for the second time. Three weeks later, when the blind finally came in, Mr. Duff only offered times that he was specially available. He felt his schedule should not be inconvenienced and he should not have to miss meeting with any new clients. He has no value for his customers once they have paid and that is exactly what he showed. He made no effort to work with us on a time that would be mutually beneficial; only offering certain times after jobs that he had already completed in the area as late as 9 PM. Mr. Duff's excuse for this was that he is the busiest blind guy in all of Tennessee. What is contradictory about this statement is that he sets his schedule for himself, in there of digging himself into a hole of incomplete jobs and unsatisfied customers. In the package that is Duff's Custom Window Treatment includes; lack of communication, shifting of blame away from Mr. Duff, incomplete and incorrect orders, and a complete disregard for the customer. I am sure this is not true of all of his clients. According to him, "We just got dealt a bad hand" when it came to our order and all of the issues that we had getting our job to completion. However, Mr. Duff is the one dealing the cards so the hand that we received was solely his fault. *** EDIT *** Per Mr. Duff's reply, I would encourage people to do their research. If you go on the BBB you will find a complaint about Duff's blinds. This complaint describes the exact behavior that we experienced with Mr. Duff. This complaint was resolved at the cost of Mr. Duff since he was found a fault.

    We found Bloomin Blinds on yelp and they called us right away to setup an appointment. Our sales…read morerep came with lots of options and was very helpful. We decided to go with 2 types of blinds, blackout shades for the bedrooms and bamboo-style roller shades for the rest of the house. It took about 4 weeks to get them, but they are beautiful and well made. I'm happy with the look and the quality of the installation. I would recommend them! The price was fair for the 30 windows we had to buy for!!

    I ordered two remote controlled blackout blinds online to be mounted outside of the light filtering…read moreroman shades I already had mounted inside the window casings. My windows face a street that has so many lights on it in downtown Franklin, it was hard to fall and stay asleep. Bloomin' Blinds installed them today. Their service from my first contact through installation was second to none - A++++ in my opinion. The company got back to me almost immediately when I initially contacted them online. Once I knew when the blinds were scheduled to arrive I set up my installation date. On the morning of the installation, I received a text message telling me who was coming, a picture of one of the installers and the estimated time of arrival. When they arrived at my home, everything went like clockwork and the whole process was seamless. Kody and his partner were friendly, clean and neat and lots of fun to work with. The cost for installation was extremely affordable as well. I don't think you can go wrong hiring this company for your installation, period!
