Just had more shades installed by East Bay Blinds. I can't recommend Larry enough. Prices are fair and service is outstanding. Over the last few years we have installed over 30 blinds in our home including motorized blinds via East Bay Blinds - we couldn't be happy. No need to even call others - just call Larry. read more

We had a great experience with Larry. Larry is the owner of this small business - he is knowledgeable, experienced and easy to work with. He communicates well and showed up on time every time. He delivered the products on schedule and installed everything himself with no issues. His prices were very reasonable (much less than the Costco windows covering service). Larry helped us with selecting the colors and fabrics - he was patient and made good recommendations. Highly recommended. read more

Larry came to my house. He was very cordial, professional and responsive. He convinced me that blinds were not the best solution for the space. So HONEST that he talked himself out of the job. If I need blinds or shutters in the future I will definitely call Larry. read more

I had Larry install shutters for the upstairs.. as before, he was prompt to give me an estimate but the installation is where he really shines.. him and his son installed the shutters with expert workmanship, very minimal noise and the best part? My bedrooms were left clean!!! I am so happy and impressed with East Bay Blinds.. the shutters transforms the house and are great quality (no problems ever with the shutters he installed before)! The only downside? All windows are done so we won't have the pleasure of working with Larry!! read more

Larry is the best! Very responsive. Gives great personalized and cost efficient recommendations. He guided us through selecting blackout blinds, as well as how to prep our bedroom/wall for installation. Our motorized blinds look and work great. I will absolutely work with him again in the future when the need arises! read more

I very much recommend the Soluna electric blackout shades! Incredible. You can't see your hand in front of your face. Also, so sleek and luxurious! Couldn't be happier with the outcome. Also, Larry is an absolute one of a kind gem. 11 out of 10 stars! read more

The blinds look great and the customer service is wonderful. Larry Collins worked with us and was very helpful in picking out the blinds that look best in our rooms. All are very high quality. I highly recommend this company. read more

Larry from East Bay Blinds is amazing. He is kind, he is helpful, he is communicative and he is always on time and friendly. I bought my blinds from him seven years ago. Some Hunter Douglas blinds. And last month, I noticed that the honeycombs on one of the blinds were coming apart. I contacted him and he replaced the blind for free. So easy. So friendly. I will recommend this company to anyone who asks. read more

Based off a referral on another social app we worked with East Bay Blinds to install shutters in our home. We not only love the shutters, we enjoyed working with Larry and his son during the installation process. East Bay Blinds is a family owned company. I prefer family owned businesses as they provide a higher standard of customer service and transparent communications. They truly care about their business. East Bay Blinds offered reasonable prices, quick to respond to any questions and immediate installation upon receiving the shutters. The installation process was professional; shoe covers worn. We had ordered a different variation of shutter styles. All were exactly as ordered. We highly recommend East Bay Blinds services! read more

We first met Larry when he helped us get a small Albany starter home ready for sale. He listened carefully to what we were looking for, brought out his samples, and carefully explained the pros and cons of the different choices. He didn't waste time and didn't try to upsell. He was patient, personable and concise. The installation went equally smoothly; Larry made a potentially painful process easy and fast. We loved this guy so much we kept his contact info--Fast forward ten years, I call him, hoping he's still around after all this time and pandemic. Not only did he respond quickly, he again listened carefully to what we wanted, showed us a few options, and with no fuss no pressure, gave us exactly what we were wishing for--all at a very fair and reasonable price point. I highly recommend him to anyone who is looking for window coverings. You'll be as pleased as we! THANK YOU LARRY AND ETHAN, YOU GUYS ROCK! read more

I used East Bay Blinds in 2016 & then again just recently for repairs (cats!) Larry has consistently been very responsive, informative & easy to work with. The cost of the original installation for blinds all around the house was reasonable & the repair was under warranty. The blinds have looked great & I appreciated his advice. Thanks Larry! read more

After comparing a few companies, we chose East Bay Blinds to replace all of the very old, non-child-friendly blinds in our new home. Larry was very responsive, knowledgeable and even helpful with design questions. The process was seamless from start to finish and we are so happy with our new window treatments. read more

Larry is amazing! I found him on Yelp and saw that fellow yelper Lisa H had also used his services so I reached out. He was quick to respond and set up an appointment. He walked me through pictures and samples and gave recommendations which I appreciated. He explained their is a long wait period right now which made complete sense with everyone working on their homes right now! I was willing to wait for quality! Fast forward a couple months and Larry reached out to let me know my shutters had arrived - YAY! He set up sometime within the week to come and install. Installation only took about an hour to an hour and a half and just like that, I have beautiful new window shutters! Larry was great to work with and will definitely be recommended and will reach out if I ever decide to do any of my other windows! Thank you, Larry! read more

All I can review now is the great service of EBB and the value of the product. Hopefully it all continues to go well! Ethan did a fabulous job read more

We called Larry for a quote after getting a quote at Home Depot and one other location. Larry had the best rate which was important because were going to have ALL our windows including our french doors done. He asked questions and made recommendations. He was super helpful and patient with showing us samples of varying styles and colors. They were installed a couple of weeks ago and they look great! I would recommend East Bay Blinds. read more

Larry was great in helping me pick out window coverings for a recent remodel. He's always been honest & reliable. We used him many years back to put in shutters in our entire first floor & we have been so happy with the purchase. I highly recommend him & will use him again if needed in the future. read more

We purchased new windows for our dining room last year and needed new window coverings. After a review of shade and blind companies on Yelp, we decided to contact East Bay Blinds first. I found that Larry was very professional and gave meaningful advice and information without trying to influence the decision one way or the other. Since my husband was at work at the time of the appointment, he allowed me to keep his sample book of fabrics for several days. Larry responded to emails in a timely manner. When I settled on the fabric and style, he made sure that I understood what it would look like after installation. There was going to be two rails at the top, and he wanted to make sure I understood that there would be a small gap. Installation went smoothly. The cost for the three coverings with installation was about $2,100. Without reservation, I would recommend East Bay Blinds. read more

Believe all the excellent reviews of Larry's East Bay Blinds that you read here! Larry just completed a tricky installation for my husband and me--including patio sliding doors at right angles to large windows--and we couldn't be happier. Larry combines high tech--a laser tool for aligning everything--with old-fashioned workmanship. Our project started with his meticulous measurements and a discussion of our different options and their prices. (We chose Hunter Douglas Duette East-Rise Bottom-Up and Vertiglide.) The installation was by Larry himself and as per originally scheduled. Because highly experienced Larry does the installation himself, avoiding possible errors and returns, he is able to offer top-of-the-line products at competitive prices. We feel lucky to have found Larry and East Bay Blinds! (I noticed from other reviews that sometimes Larry works on installations with his son. In our case he mentioned that the job was so technically challenging that he had to do it entirely himself.) read more

We moved back to the bay in January. Had tired old plastic mini blinds throughout the house. Larry came over after I was late getting home to meet him. He was personable, easy to speak with and very knowledgeable. He expert let measured and painfully explained opening directions, mechanicals etc. seemed tedious and unnecessary at the time, but thank God he did. He had done some work in the area and knew many of the neighbors by name. After our selection, he provided detail quotes with our options, and recommendations. He and his assistant spent most of the morning installing throughout the whole house stepping over the floor construction guys and their equipment. We are very happy with our selection of plantation Blinds and Larry for expertly installing them. That initial attention to detail I thought was tedious paid off as all the window shutters opened correctly based on window openings and convenience. Thanks Larry for being meticulous. read more

Larry and his team did an amazing job with our shades and curtains installation it all looks great. Larry has so much knowledge in these areas and was able to guide us for what would work in our space. We will work with them again in the future if we need any more window coverings. Highly recommend! read more

I was so thrilled that I found East Bay Blinds via Yelp. But especially, Larry. I didn't know the difference between Top Down/Bottom up shades, etc. What patience he had with me and I finally got it! At first I was only going to update my bedroom blinds, but after seeing how gorgeous they were (Larry had assisted me in choosing the perfect shade) I went ahead and updated my other windows -- living room and kitchen. Since Larry came to install 3 times, i got to know him and trust him. He installed all shades in record time. Very impressive. He also suggested the best type of shade that would allow my pup to see out the window. That was very important to me and Fannie. My kitchen looks like it's been remodeled when he completed his install using a shade of color. East Bay Blinds is absolutely the Best. And did I mention he has a wonderful Bull dog. No one has a Bull Dog who isn't a wonderful, kind person as well. read more

Had East Bay Blinds provide cellular shades for our home in the last few months. Larry, the owner, provides exceptional service and quality materials, at a very fair price. We highly recommend Larry for your window covering needs. read more

Another very satisfied customer of East Bay Blinds. It was one of the easiest experiences I had working with a contractor. Hunter Douglas gave me referrals for dealers in my area. When I checked Yelp, I happened to see East Bay Blind's 5.0* reviews and left a message. Larry promptly came over and spent considerable time with me listening to my concerns, making recommendations, and taking measurements. He was knowledgeable, trustworthy, and offered a reasonable quote. I didn't even shop around. He was thorough in providing me with the paperwork for the Federal Energy Tax Credit and the Hunter Douglas rebate too. Easy peasy. Installation was completed in a month. I highly recommend working with Larry for window coverings. read more

Larry is a professional and does excellent work! After working with him, I completely understand why he's uber busy. I wanted plantation shutters for our small kitchen window area. I scheduled a consultation with Larry and we discussed all aspects regarding the shutters and the installation process. I shopped around and did my research. Nothing really compared to East Bay Blinds. The price point was competitive. However, I selected Larry because he was thorough, has a high level of communication and the Hunter Douglas shutters are aesthetically pleasing and sturdy. This week, our shutters were installed and they are gorgeous. I ordered the Hunter Douglas palm beach standard rectangle in bright white as they went well with the molding in the rest of home. Let me tell you the shutters changed the flow and dynamic of our kitchen area. In addition, installation took a couple of hours and Larry cleaned up after he was done. I couldn't be more pleased with the product and the quality of Larry's work. I highly recommend Larry. He's just super busy, so if your timeline is flexible wait for him. read more

Larry was fantastic to work with. I wish I had worked with him in my previous home because his prices are very reasonable. What set Larry apart from the competition was how he walked through the product when he brought the samples over, you could tell he really cares about his product and gave recommendations when appropriate. While I was already planning on giving Larry a 5 star review, what made me appreciate his work even more was his quiet installation when I returned from hospital post delivery. I had waited until I was actually on maternity leave to get quotes (my fault!) and had a quick timeline that I wanted to meet. Larry squeezed us in, which allowed us to enjoy our first night home from the hospital with total peaceful darkness (we had no window coverings before). Larry and his son didn't leave any mess, and were super quiet when they exited our home. A++ read more

There's a reason I'm drawn to work with small businesses that are owner-operated ... and it's because of people like Larry! We contacted Larry after seeing all of his 5 star reviews and our experience no different. Larry came to our house and was very patient with us as he explained all our options. (We have 3 bedrooms to address + a family room). Each room had different circumstances - kids that need blackout, main bedroom where we like a lot of light, etc. We wanted things to look cohesive and upscale, but also didn't want to break the bank). He listened to our needs, gave consultation, and was never pushy. He took all our measurements, followed up very fast with quotes, and got us scheduled for the work. On the day of install, he came himself to do it and made sure everything was 100% to our liking. He's respectful, and left the space sparkling clean. It's been 3 months with our new shades (honeycomb) and we love them. Many thanks to Larry!! read more

Can I just say that Larry and Co is just the absolute best of the best?! Will never go to another for window treatments as long as Larry continues to work his magic! We moved homes and our new place had no window treatments at all. I sent out messages to a handful of shutters and blinds companies and Larry had the fairest price, sweetest demeanor, and the a heartfelt congratulations on our new home purchase. He explained the different materials to us, brought over books of samples to review, and never EVER tried to up-sell or pressure us into more expensive treatments. In fact, he would ask us what our priorities were for each room and then recommend a solution to meet our needs (natural light, more privacy, etc.). In fact, we ended up changing our game plan from a full house of plantation shutters to some honeycomb shades in the living area to let in more natural light. Our total invoice went down from what we thought we originally wanted. Then comes the day of the installation. Larry is courteous and wears booties in our no-shoes-indoors home and does a phenomenal job. He's so personable too, so it makes it hard to not like him! He explains how to maintain and care for the shades after installation and everything is perfect. Highly recommend East Bay Blinds if you are in the market for window treatments. Support local families and businesses, especially when they're as kind, honest, and amazing as Larry. read more

Terrible. Poor communication, and I mean some of the worst communication I've ever experienced. Doesn't return phone calls, doesn't return emails, it's almost as if they dont want business. Legitimately and honestly amazed there are so many 5 star reviews. read more

Larry is the man! Reliable, honest, friendly, and skilled. Extremely happy with our new shutters. From the initial consultation to the finished product, Larry was great to work with! Highly recommend. read more

Couldn't be happier with how our shades turned out. We got shades for a home remodel we were doing. Larry was top notch. He advised us about how to stay in our budget and what would meet our needs both functionally and aesthetically. We got cellular shades, and he went over the intricacies of top down bottom up, day-night, and different color combinations. In the end we got a mix of products that meet our needs, look great, and far exceed my expectations. His advise and guidance were super helpful. And Larry is super efficient, so we did this fast and without hiccup. read more

We had shutters installed on 6 windows. Larry made several helpful recommendations, delivered on his timeline, and we are totally satisfied with the final product. There's a difference between using a local family business that does this all day every day and a chain store that sends an installer out. Would highly recommend. Prices were very competitive as well. read more

Don't even think about another spot to get your blinds. Larry was awesome and dialed in our place at the right budget. We LOVE our blinds.

Larry was an absolute professional from start to finish. He answered all my emails and texts promptly. He arrived to all scheduled meetings on time. He was very thorough and helpful throughout the decision making process. His quotes were comprehensive, accurate, and very reasonable. Installation went smoothly and quickly; his assistants were two of his sons and they were equally as professional and courteous. The quality of work done was excellent. They did more than one walkthrough to ensure that all trash and supplies were picked up before leaving. Overall, we are very happy and impressed with East Bay Blinds and would not hesitate to recommend this business to family and friends, in addition to using them again in the future should the need arise. For reference, we needed window coverings for our entire home, 35 windows in total, and we went with shutters. read more

This company really impressed me. Larry did a fantastic job and he is very trustworthy and honest. I contacted the company in the late evening and received an email response within minutes. I placed my order shortly after my consultation and Larry came to verify my measurements and where I wanted to hang the shades, ensuring that it would be right and have the correct style brackets when it arrived. Larry went above and beyond level of customer service. He just installed the blinds (37 windows to be exact) with no issues, I am very happy with then. The blinds and shades fits perfectly with enough room for the door handles to still be used with the blinds down,and looks very clean and nice on my new door. I would highly recommend this company to anyone. I thoroughly do my research from end to end and knew from the moment I met Larry that he was the guy to get the job done! read more

East Bay Blinds saved us thousands of dollars! We moved in to a house that needed new window treatments throughout. After getting quotes from a popular franchise with a storefront, I called East Bay Blinds to compare. Larry came out and explained how, for our needs, we could get high quality Hunter Douglas product, at a 50% discount from our existing quote. He communicated effectively throughout, installed the products professionally, and was super friendly. Perfect small business owner, can't recommend him enough! read more
