We also chose to install an exterior solar shade to a set of sliding doors for our deck. Working with Lal was a wonderful and seamless experience! He is highly responsive, answered all of my questions, and installed our shades quickly and efficiently. The price was also exactly what I was planning to spend so that was great. We LOVE our new shades. We now have blackout shades in our bedrooms and light filtering shades on the windows in our living areas. We are sleeping better and our home is noticeably cooler (especially with our exterior solar shade for our sliding glass doors). I think the photos speak for themselves :).

I had a terrible experience and cannot recommend Budget Blinds of Berkeley and Richmond…read more I spent nearly $3,000 on custom shades specifically because I wanted the guidance of an in-home consultant. Instead, I ended up with multiple problems that I believe should have been prevented during the consultation, followed by an installation experience that became defensive and confrontational. The biggest unresolved issue is the headrail color. I chose Natural Tan fabric, and the paperwork said "Rail Color: DEFAULT." No one explained that the default headrail would be tan, or that white was available instead. All of the window trim in my home is white, and I would have chosen white had that option been explained. I'm not a window-treatment professional. That's exactly why I hired a consultant. When I raised this on installation day, the salesperson/installer argued that I should have understood it from a blue shade sample I'd been shown with a blue headrail. It wasn't until then that he told me I could have ordered white headrails to match my trim. The owner later offered to remake the shades with white headrails at wholesale cost, which would still have required me to spend more than $2,000 to correct a choice that was never explained to me in the first place. There was also a major misunderstanding about a front-window shade. I specifically asked whether they could make a shade that was both light filtering and room darkening, operable from the top down. He told me yes, absolutely, and when I mentioned that another company had told me they didn't offer this, he assured me that Budget Blinds did. Someone else present at the consultation came away with the same understanding I did. What arrived was a 100% blackout shade, not light filtering. When I raised this during installation, the salesperson/installer became defensive, argumentative, and confrontational in my home, to the point that someone involved by phone asked him to leave the property. The owner never addressed my concerns about the installer's behavior. Her position throughout was essentially, "You signed the quote, so the responsibility is yours." That may be her contractual position, but it sidesteps the reason I hired an in-home consultant in the first place, which was to explain important product and design choices I did not know enough to ask about. There were other issues as well. A door shade did not provide the side-angle privacy I had asked for, one shade arrived with a cracked headrail and had to be replaced, and when the installer later returned for that replacement, he arrived almost three hours before the scheduled appointment without confirmation. The owner did acknowledge that this violated their scheduling policy. To the owner's credit, the damaged shade was replaced and I received a credit for the returned front shade minus a 25% fee. But overall, the experience was stressful, adversarial, and far below what I expected from a custom in-home service. The shades themselves are functional and reasonably attractive, but I'm stuck with large tan headrails that don't match my home. I would not work with this company again.

David was great, he arrived on time for both the initial consultation and the follow-up measurements. He also took the time to explain and answered all of our questions. The shutters themselves were manufactured and delivered on scheduled. When it came to installation, the installer worked very efficiently. Once everything was set up, he took the time to explain and show how to operate and care for the shutters. All pricing and charges were completely transparent on the final invoice, so there were no additional surprise charges. However, they were not able to provide detailed per-window or material/labor breakdown as they are based on progressive discount based on projects. That being said, the service and products were great. I am happy with how everything looks and I would highly recommend them.

My shutters and blinds turned out great and still work like new. I've only ever lived in houses with older corded blinds, so making the switch to cordless blinds and shutters has been a game changer. My older blinds were ripped out during the reno process and the windows were bare for a few months. Ciera kindly offered to order me temporary paper shades to help cover the windows as I waited for our new ones to come in. The install was super smooth. I appreciated that they used shoe covers inside and made sure to vacuum and clean up the best they could. I'm glad I was able to support a local, family-business that sells high quality products.

It's high quality and looks great. They also impressed me with their speed. It only took 3.5 weeks between submitting the order and installing the shades.
