This High Tech Shades review is about my experience with their great customer support, selection, and dedication to customer satisfaction. High Tech Shades in Novato was initially pointed out to me by a close friend who had a great experience with them. He was attempting to get a cord fixed on a window covering, and every business (including the one he bought it from) was telling him he had to buy a new window covering. My friend thought this was ridicules. He called High Tech Shades who told him they would send a technician out to replace the cord, which they did. I knew right away that a business that has customer support like that is where I want to buy window coverings. I needed new window coverings where I just moved to in Mill for the master bedroom, three bay windows in the living room, and office. The living room and office windows weren't a tough call because the Project Coordinator, JiJi, showed me several options and what became obvious were custom Hunter Douglas Duette Honeycomb Shades with their cell construction for insulation and the amount of light I wanted to get through.
The most important room to me was the master bedroom where I wanted two motorized blackout drapes, floor-to-ceiling, and wall-to-wall to cover a sliding glass window on the right and a smaller window on the left. Getting blackout drapes were important to not be bothered by sunlight in the morning and whenever I felt like a nap. Motorized was needed because I wanted neither cords nor wands because I got thick material and lining and wanted the stress of opening and closing the drapes to be evenly distributed. I had been to every window covering place in Southern Marin County looking for what I wanted for the bedroom windows, and none had the material I wanted or a selection from which I could find something else. High Tech Shades had such a great selection it took me two weeks to make up my mind with samples in my place. They had the material I initially wanted, but I was distracted with others I liked in their selection. From there I found out about others on their team that did a great job: Jihan took the measurements, and Wassim and Randy (JiJi's son) did the installations. I'm a happy customer and got that way from their great customer support, selection, and dedication to customer satisfaction. read more
