I have worked with Sam on two whole house projects over several years. I have found Sam to be extremely reliable, diligent, detail oriented and professional. Of course this is in addition to Kara Window Coverings carrying the highest quality window treatment products. When I changed my mind about a window treatment design after I had placed a formal order with Sam, Sam nonetheless was very flexible in allowing me to change the order and accommodate my request. On another project my timeline was slowed down considerably by my contractor, and Sam stored the products I had ordered from him for a couple of years without a peep of discontent. When a shade needed a minor adjustment years after installation Sam didn't hesitate to come back to my home himself and make the adjustment without charge, even though I offered to pay him for his time. You cannot make a wiser window treatment decision than to hire Sam. Sam has my business for the rest of my life! read more

I cannot recommend Sam and his team at Kara Window Coverings highly enough! Brian in the store is knowledgeable and friendly. When Sam came to take the measurements he guided me in my selections. And when Julio came to install, he came super early per my request and was done in record time. Top notch service and quality. They are a gem in Tarzana! read more

I cannot say enough good things about Sam and the staff at Kara. From the first phone call before we even stepped foot in the shop, Sam was warm, welcoming, understanding and more curious and concerned about understanding what we wanted in both look and function than worried about what he could sell us. When we entered the store, he gave us as much time (I'm talking days/weeks) as we needed to take in the vast array of options. Whatever we had in mind quickly faded as he had more ideas than we could imagine available to choose from. What was clear was that Sam had no interest in trying to upsell us in any way. He worked within our budget without any pressure. He understood what we wanted and helped us find it. His crew did a fantastic job, cutting and installing the drapes and hardware. Sam also went above and beyond to resolve an initial material issue from the manufacturer, that they were trying to blame on him/us making sure we had exactly what we wanted with no extra cost. When he makes a promise to help you get what you want...you can believe it. read more

Sam at Kara is the best! Friendly, very knowledgeable and such a pleasure to work with. We had beautiful Hunter Douglas wooden verticals installed in our family room & kitchen about 7 years ago. The installers were great! Especially with the long wall of verticals in our family room which was a tricky situation. A few of the plastic vane clips broke in our kitchen 2 weeks ago & Sam had the manufacturer send out a bag of new clips. Apparently, the manufacturer does not make our particular blind anymore yet had some clips of that style. Sam was so nice & responsive on the phone and had the clips sent to us at no charge! Will always go to Kara for future window covering needs! read more

We asked Kara to fit 2 automatic shades in our kitchen and Sam helped us out. He was highly responsive and friendly and provided a competitive quote. Unfortunately during the install, as Sam had warned us was a possibility, one of our backsplash tiles cracked. Sam helped promptly resolve the issue with no problems. We actually then added a third shade in the kitchen as well with Kara because of our positive experience with them. It was a very pleasant experience working with Sam and we wouldn't hesitate recommending Kara Window Coverings. read more

My family and I have used these guys for our window cover needs and they have delivered everytime. The staff is friendly and knowledgeable. They care about their customers and offer support even after the sale is complete. read more

What a wonderful company!! Sam handled our Hunter Douglas window shades, and has been there for us every step of the way for any need that arose with the best attitude I've ever encountered. The friendliness, fair price and caring about their customer is unsurpassed. Do not hesitate to use Kara...you will feel well taken care of!! read more

I was very thorough and did my homework on this, met with about 5 companies who all rated 5 star in yelp. Kara window coverings were the least expensive for the same exact brand of shades and the owner Sam was the most knowledgeable and honest. The shades are gorgeous and the motorized part of it is so much fun, makes you home so much more glamorous. The service from Sam and his staff are nothing short of outstanding. Extremely professional in workmanship and service. They made sure we were 100 percent satisfied. He had to adjust one of the remotes for our blinds, came over after hours just to help us out. The workmanship again is outstanding. We just bought this house and couldn't be happier with Kara blinds. Honestly if you are reading this, stop shopping. I already did the shopping and interviewing and comparing the different companies for you. Call Sam and you wont be disappointed. Thank you for everything Sam read more

Knows what they are talking about and more interested in helping you than charging you - brilliant support and service

Sam's company is so wonderful!!! I was searching for shades and didn't know my options and he was so patient with me. I was convinced that I wanted roman woven and cellular sucked. Sam was so patient with me and explained that there are different options than the one inside my mind. For our child's room, I wanted privacy and he explained the roman woven was not as private but he gave me a solution (liners!!!) and I was so happy!!! From beginning to end, everything was flawless. We got the custom shades installed in less than 2 weeks (amazing). Mark the installer was equally nice and awesome. We love our top down bottom up roman woven shades, as well as our applause cellular blackout shades (they actually look much better than how I envisioned cellular shades to be). In conclusion, if you're on the market for window coverings, don't look anywhere else!! Go with sam!!! read more

Well it's been five years since we last got blinds from Sam, and honestly they're still going strong! We just invested in some black out shades for the baby's room, since said baby is a veryyyy light sleeper. Best. Decision. Ever. Happy sleeping baby = happy sleeping parents. I think we may have to upgrade all our curtains to black out shades. As always excellent service from Sam and a great install from his employee. read more

First of all... Sams customer service is a step above ALL the rest. He came to measure our windows (and there are 11 large windows and three sliders) while we were still in escrow. To me, that's dedication. Doing the work without knowing he'd get the business due to the fact we didn't even own the house yet. Sam was extremely helpful and had the most knowledge on what we wanted to do over anyone else we had met. He stayed very patient while we closed escrow, calling once to check in. And finally I was able to get to his shop to pick from the thousands of samples and ideas he had to offer. So so so many options, I was blown away. And he really knows what he's doing. He was so patient with me, and again, one of the nicest people I've ever met. I cannot wait to get the new shutters and Roman blinds installed !!! Thank you to Sam for being just amazing !! read more

Sam is always a pleasure to work with. He is extremely knowledgeable and always has a great response time and attitude. Highly recommend giving them shot with any of your window treatment needs. read more

This company is superb. The owner, Sam, is friendly and easy to communicate with. We worked with him years ago before Covid but I know he would be observant of the CDC guidelines for a store of his type. After we spoke to him in the phone he came out to our house to show us different options for window coverings. He also has a nice showroom. I am sure he has different options to offer you during this time of Covid. He is completely trustworthy. His expertise in the field is great and his advice about what was suitable for our home was excellent. We are not a typical house-- huge windows -- with little space between them, for example -- didn't stump him as we looked through choices he suggested . He has always been available post installation to attend to our questions and minor needs. I would not hesitate to use his services again. read more

We met Sam after checking out six other companies. It only took us a few minutes to realize that we were dealing with an honest professional, who has a rich experience with vast knowledge and incredible patience. He delivered what he promised and we are delighted with the results. Hector and Fred did clean, quick, flawless installations. If you are looking for top-notch quality, reasonable prices, and a smooth 'ride,' look no further than Kara Window Coverings. read more

We moved into a new house and all the windows were bare! We had always rented in the past so custom window coverings were a little overwhelming to me. I scheduled a last minute appointment to go into Sam's showroom and he really took his time with me, showing products in person and explaining all the pros and cons for shutters, screens, honeycomb blinds, etc. I felt the showroom had everything I could want to look at and test out. Sam provided me with over 10 different quotes during my appointment so I could really see what the prices would be for different types of shades. I ended up going with honeycomb blinds and now that they have arrived and been installed I can say I 100% recommend Sam and Kara window coverings as Sam is a delight to work with, very efficient and professional, extremely responsive, and costs are all transparent. read more

This is the second time I asked Sam to help me with window treatments. He is very good with helping me choosing the right ones. I trust his professional with the coverings, and he will go beyond to make sure everything will be okay. Definitely go to Kara Window coverings if you need it. read more

The reviews here are accurate. I called and Sam contacted me the same day. He did an install on my rental. He took the measurements, went over the types of styles I would need for each room, placement of attachments, mounting, pull strings...everything. He then showed me examples of the styles and materials, colors, and linings for each. It took me a few weeks to decide and then I contacted him again. He remembered who I was and the quote I was given. He ordered the shades/blinds for me and they were in a week earlier than he stated. I tried getting quotes from the competitors. The responses were less than stellar. The competitors told me 'order now, I'm going on vacation', quotes 50% more than the quote from Kara, 'we don't do small jobs (5 windows)', 'you have to come by our show-room', 'our hours are limited so try to catch us when we are here', 'I hope you don't need them in a hurry'. KARA WINDOW COVERINGS = STELLAR CUSTOMER SERVICE, COURTEOUS, ON TIME, REASONABLE PRICE, IN HOME CONSULTATION.....This is the way America used to provide goods and services. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND KARA WINDOW COVERINGS TO ANYONE WHO NEEDS A QUALITY PRODUCT. read more

Sam did an incredible job on our house. We bought a new construction home in Porter Ranch, and our windows were completely bare. Sam was able to rush out window coverings for our house to get them covered the day we moved in. He was also able to beat the price of any other competitor we met with. His customer service is incredible. I also reached out to him regarding an issue I had with one of the coverings, and without question he ordered a new one and came to our house to replace it. I look forward to working with Sam again in the future. read more

Loved working with Sam. He installed our Hunter Douglas shades everywhere in the home back in 2015 and I've never been happier with his service, candor, communication, and installation. read more

Love this company! Highly recommend for affordable and beautiful window coverings. Don't look anywhere else!

Sam ensured I was completely satisfied with the smallest detail with my blinds. No complaint went unheard. I felt he really took the time to make sure I was 100% happy with my blinds. I got blinds in 2018 and added two more recently and the process was super smooth (especially during Covid). Greatly appreciated your professionalism, service, efficiency, and great product-blinds look great! read more

My husband and I recently purchased our new home and we wanted to have wooden plantation blinds installed. We was bombarded with flyers from window furnishing company's offering their services and I went online to check out some companies to do the install for us. There as so many out there that tell you that they are the best but I can HONESTLY say that there is no one out there that can give the services that Sam and his team at Kara Windows do. I was amazed from beginning to end. Sam arrived at our home on the scheduled day to go through our home and suit down with us to give us the options available, all the time being very patient, polite and very understanding of our needs and affordability. he came back 2 days later with a price and they came out to do measurements and then the install. All the time Sam was keeping us updated on everything. I never had to chase him up or anything like that. He always called me and kept me updated on the progress of the work. His team came and did the install and cleaned up. They were all very professional and our windows are amazing and added immediate value and class to our home. Our family and friends want to get theirs done now too!! Sam is good at what he does, honest, professional and he will now be our go to for anything to do with windows. If I could give Kara Windows 10 star I would. They are the best. Don't bother looking anywhere else. Call Sam at Kara Windows if you want the job done properly and at the best price. Thank you Sam and your team for making our home stand out from the rest. We love our shutters and window panels. read more

Very professional and attentive company. They helped me finally get some sleep with the shades they installed.

Found Kara through yelp. They were faster than quoted, cheaper than the competitors, and WAY more customer oriented than anyone I've dealt with lately. They were so pleasant to work with, there is nobody else I'd consider for window coverings! read more

Kara Window came highly recommended by a friend who got their shades done with them. Sam showed us a variety of options and was very informative on all the different products they offer. We ordered remote roller shades which we can program to open before we wake up. It's so convenient and can be used with a phone app. They have great products and great service! We are very satisfied with the way our shades came out and recommend Kara Window for anyone looking for window coverings. read more

My wife and I needed blinds for our new home. I had 3 estimates and Kara Window Coverings gave us the best price! Sam was very helpful and explained everything. He was in constant contact with updates and he even had the blinds installed earlier than planned! We are very happy with their professionalism and customer service. Thumps up! read more

I'm delighted to be the 35th customer to give Sam a five star review. He absolutely went above and beyond the ordinary to see that we were completely satisfied with the installation of the blinds we ordered for four of our windows. His first visit was to take measurements and show us samples of both horizontal and vertical blinds. When he sent a quote and we approved, he came back again to verify his original measures. Took a few weeks after that for the custom blinds to be manufactured and then we were notified that they were ready for installation. One of his installers did the job but we saw a few things that still needed attention. A call to Sam and he responded, came back to check how everything had been handled and spent a few hours fixing every little drape that needed to be adjusted and anything else that our fussy minds could think of. He was very respectful of our wishes and saw to it that we were 100% satisfied. Needless to say, we highly recommend him to anyone who has a need for any kind of window coverings. read more

Sam, the owner of Kara, has always been very polite, punctual, and responsive. I received quotes from 2 other highly rated places on Yelp, all for the exact same thing, 4 sets of wood shutters and a Hunter Douglas honeycomb shade for a large window. Everyone from those companies was very helpful, but they were significantly more expensive. Sam had the best prices and great customer service as well, and promptly installed the coverings after scheduling a date and time with me. read more

I looked on Yelp and saw the great reviews for Kara. So I called and made an appointment for them to show me options and give me prices. This company is VERY professional and they absolutely know what they're doing! Prices are second only to the service. Wow! My windows look great. Sam is friendly, knowledgeable and easy to deal with. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED! read more

I have dealt with the owner Sam. I found him very easy to converse with. The window coverings are very affordable priced and did not lack quality. I am happy with the purchase of my shutters. Linda Renee Weisstein-Perez read more

Sam came exactly on time, quickly repaired the chain pulley from a large blind had gotten off track. As he was the initial installer of the blind several years ago, he wouldn't let me pay him for his time. The customer service at this business is honest and genuine! A rarity in this day and age in LA! I highly recommend this business to anyone looking for high quality window coverings from a company who takes lasting pride in the work they do! read more

Sam at Kara Windows is a really great person who takes pride in his business. Working with him led to a great experience with high quality results, at very competitive (if not the best) costs. It would have been easy to call one of the hundred brochures we got for "household names" when we moved into the neighborhood, but I'm glad I looked at Yelp first. Working with Kara Windows will far exceed any experience you have with any competitor, and the treatments will be the best! Thank you Sam at Kara Windows!! read more

I could not be more delighted with the service Sam provided. He was courteous, professional, and helpful in every way. Sam came to measure my windows, was most helpful in giving his professional advice with regard to ordering. The vertical blinds I ordered were ready even before the initial delivery date he had quoted and were installed within the week. The product is high quality and I couldn't be more pleased with them. I highly recommend Kara Window Coverings and appreciate my overall positive business experience with this company. read more

Great prices, great service. A true quality experience. The salesman comes to you with a complete showroom in his car.
