We have now used Paul at Kempler Design twice. Once at a rental property we own, that was about 3-4 years ago. And then just at our primary residence. Each experience has been wonderful. Each visit, Paul took the time to show us several videos of the different type window coverings and how they worked (motorized, types, layouts etc.). Then he showed us many different samples. Broke down pricing, so as to give us different price point options. Each time the delivery & install date was ahead of schedule, Paul is the ultimate in under-promise & over-deliver! He is the utmost fair and considerate professional!! You won't be sorry you did business with Kempler Design!! read more

We had a great experience with Kempler Design. Paul came to our house and spent the necessary time to understand our unique desires for our window treatments. After much discussion and review of available treatment types, we decided on plantation shutters for the windows that can be seen from the street and roller shades for those facing the backyard. Once that selection was made, Paul carefully went over each and every option available for both types of treatment. We ended up selecting 3" slats with hidden push rods for the shutters, and motorized roller shades. Paul worked with us to ensure the color combo worked. We're very happy with the end results. The shutters look absolutely gorgeous and the motorized roller shades are so convenient! Way to go, Kempler Design! read more

I definitely recommend this business, the owner Mr. Kempler goes above and beyond to make his customers happy. In addition, we loved the roller shade we got from him. He gave us a product that was unnoticeably damaged in shipping from one of his clients. And we he made sure we got the product functioning right. Five stars professionalism and quality. Thank you Mr. Kempler. read more

We have a large 12 foot wide sliding glass door. We called Paul Kempler After other companies told us it was just not possible To do plantation shutters on that door. Paul Arrived when scheduled and knew exactly the correct solution for our shutters. Paul kept us informed of the status of our order and expected delivery date. He installed our shutters with care and we couldn't be more pleased. They look great and Paul was a pleasure to work with. read more

I had a question about a part and contacted Kempler Design, I spoke with Paul and he was so friendly and knowledgeable, just fantastic customer service! Thank you again for your advice and help! read more

So met Paul and April in 2003 at a home show and had them do the blinds for our new house. Fast exceptional service and got what we asked for in an affordable, quality product. Fast forward 17 years and needing some blinds in a new house. Only person I called was Paul. Fast, friendly service and superior attention to detail. Stellar work Paul and April. Thank you for all you have helped us through over the many years. . read more

We love our shutters. The sliding glass door along with all the windows look amazing. We were matching a few windows that already had Norman shutters and you can't tell the existing from the new. Great color match! What a pleasure to have a perfectionist order and install. He and his wife are by far the best for window treatments. Thank you Paul and April. Five stars!!! read more

July 2016: Paul Kempler showed up to give us a "Free Estimate," but it turned out to be an annoying waste of our time. In short, our experience with Paul led us to feel he is: Useless. Overpriced. Pretentious. not to mention Condescending. Apparently, our budget displeased Paul and he slapped his tablet shut and dismissed the appointment. We were told, "Well, if that's your budget then I have nothing for you." We had been very clear when sched an appt with Paul that only one room needed treatments, but he still insisted he wanted to come over to do an estimate. We wasted over an hour of our mid-day time on this pompous jackass when we could have been watching our astroturf grow...... read more

We had particular difficult sky light Windows that needed covering to reduce the temperature of the house in summer in our solarium. It was a very difficult installation. Paul really took good care of us. He designed it perfectly. We had a couple other window treatment designers look at the project. Paul was very knowledgeable and we are so happy with the outcome. The temperature in the room dropped 25 degrees. Thanks Paul Kempler for your help. read more

Will not give me a partial quote. Says it's not good for the customer(me)... Initially got a quote for three rooms, have decided that I only want two bedrooms and he won't quote it wants me to pay a deposit and then he will tell me how much I owe once he is done. Guess we will use another co. read more

I have been meaning to write this for a few weeks. I cannot thank Mr. Kempler enough for his HONEST consult! This is very rare and hard to find these days. We wanted to take the window coverings from previous owners down, and put up a white cornice board til we knew what to do. We were ready to write him a check, but he was so honest with us and encouraged us to really think about it before spending the money on something he thought would not look as good compared to what already existed. We thought about it, and he was so right! Once we are ready to change the current design we will definitely be calling him. It was just so refreshing to gave someone turn down a job in our best interest. I highly recommend him if you want honesty and expertise design!!! read more

I would give 10 Stars if I could. Paul got my measurements right the first time, my Plantation Shutters, work perfect, look great, and will last forever, I was thrilled. I will always recommend this company. read more

We have been so well served by Paul at Kempler Design. We highly recommend Paul for his quality products and exceptional customer service. read more

Just had some drapes installed, and couldn't be more thrilled! we have a smaller, older home with wood paneling (yes, it's still around!) around the large living room window, and hard wood floors. it was a choice of replacing the patterned sofa and wool rug - that we both love (and we think beautiful!) - or getting new drapes. wow! new drapes were the right choice! paul is so experienced (i think he said he's been doing this for 27 years) and knowledgeable! i wanted lighter weight drapes so the room didn't feel so closed in, and something that would bring out the colors in the sofa and rug. perfection! paul is great to work - he's fun, relaxed, and easy to talk to! i didn't feel intimidated by his knowledge and my lack thereof - he listens to what you're saying, describing, and if you're not sure what you want (me!) he tosses out ideas, suggestions... goes thru material types, backing - end result? beautiful! again, wow! thank you, paul! read more

Kempler Design/Paul was extremely professional and helpful in the selection of our beautiful Hunter Douglas blinds. They are perfect for our home and exceed our expectations in every way. My husband who doesn't usually get involved was very impressed with Paul's service and loves the shades. I don't understand nor do I believe the negative comments made by a previous reviewer. Paul was the total opposite of her comments. I would highly recommend Kempler Design. Thank you Paul for great work. Mary and Bob Gilfilian read more

I found Mr. Kempler to be a man of integrity, who maintains the highest standards of business conduct. He also has a sharp eye for design, is expert in the installation, and the finished product is perfection ! One of those rare cases where your expectations are exceeded ! carla P, read more

Paul Kempler makes a series of very informative and useful videos on YouTube about window blinds and various treatment options, including on very unique products. One of these videos piqued my interest, but I am from out of the area. I contacted the company and got through to Paul right away; he explained the product I was interested in was no longer available but consulted with me on the phone about my situation and requirements and suggested alternative products I hadn't considered (despite considerable research already done on my end) that could meet both my functional and aesthetic requirements. Extremely helpful, knowledgeable, and just a nice guy. Much nicer than the people I had already contacted in my local area who had been out to my home and described themselves literally as "the WORLD'S foremost expert in blind motorization" or other people who blew off appointments. I would work with him in a minute--he has a keen eye, wide variety of options, and focuses on function not just selling you some specific brand. read more

Hired Kempler Design. Out $500. Problem not fixed. While we were out of town, our house manager paid Kempler Design's owner $500 in cash to fix our non-operating motorized Hunter Douglas Silhouette shade. He didn't fix it though. Did Kempler return the money? Nope! Did Kempler return my phone call when we returned and found out what happened? Nope! Were electric wires hanging down from the Shade? Yes. Luckily we found a local company called Prime Installations to finish Kempler's work. Of course we had to pay another company, but we learned a lesson about Kempler Design. And their customer service. read more

After researching and reviewing other companies over the web and in person, we came across Paul Kempler. I set up the initial meeting for an estimate in which Paul spent a lot of time in person explaining the differences in materials, design, colors combinations etc. In our experience Paul went the extra mile and was always professional. His workmanship and attention to detail was very appreciated. We have no idea what "E.S" was referring to in her negative review, but we have nothing but positive things to say about Paul Kempler! He did an amazing job that we are very pleased with the and will not hesitate to hire him again on future projects. Thank you so much Paul and company! read more

Could not be happier with our new blinds. They said it couldn't be done but Paul figured out a solution for our A-frame windows without obstructing our views. Remote controls on all windows are amazing. Paul is very easy to work with and had great ideas. We highly recommend Kempler Design! read more

Paul arrived at our apartment a few minutes early. He was courteous, engaging, thoughtful about our space and well-prepared with parts and tools. He fixed our problem quickly and while he is not the cheapest out there (our experience has been you are rarely best off picking the cheapest) when it came to time to pay he very generously waived his minimum. He was also a good thought partner about alternative solutions for our blinds. I will use him next time for sure. read more

We've been looking for these special Hunter Douglas shade parts for months. This sort of thing is completely not what Kempler does, but they were kind enough to do a special order for me, very quickly and inexpensively. It's the little things that make a huge difference! Very much appreciate Paul for going above and beyond for us when no one else has. Once were ready to update, he's going to be who we call. read more

Initially I didn't even purchase my shutters from Paul Kempler but after some terrible customer service I called Paul and he responded in an extremely timely and professional manner. I had some broken pieces and he went out of his way to ensure they were fixed and returned to me at what I considered a tremendous deal; especially for a brand that he typically doesn't sell. Thanks Paul! You defiantly have my business from here on out! read more

We just purchased a brand new construction residence in S. Lake Tahoe which was mostly windows. Paul was able to take our visual ideas and make them reality. There were several types of window coverings involved, wood shutters, automatic blinds and black out drapes for the media room. The end result of each project greatly exceeded our expectations. Working with Paul was fun and a learning experience. We worked together on materials, color and functionality that kept with the rustic mountain look we were going for. Paul's suggestions and ideas were spot on and if we needed more windows coverings in the future Kempler Design would get the job. read more

Paul Kempler finished our "whole house" installation last night after working in to the evening hours just to accommodate us with regard to guests coming in from out of town. Our installation date was scheduled for next week, but he went to extraordinary efforts to see to it that our shutters and draperies were installed before our guest's arrival. It gets better...what an outstanding job of fit and finish; everything was perfect! The sign of a true professional. I would certainly recommend Paul Kempler Design; and feel so lucky that moving in to a new area we were able to find him. read more

We have used Kempler Design on several occasions for window treatments and repairs and we couldn't be happier with the results and services! Not only are they very reasonable but they are fast efficient and courteous. We will only use Kempler Design from here on out for everything to do with Windows. A+++ read more

Okay - since my last review, Paul installed wood shutters in my Mom's home and she loves them. This is important because she is very picky and complains if she does not like something (i.e. complains TO ME). Not a single complaint so far and it has been about 6 months - YEAH. I think they look awesome and the look from the outside it nice. I think she saved money this past winter on her heating bill since they are so great at keeping the heat in. read more

I'm very pleased with the unusual shutter arrangement Paul Kempler developed to cover the recessed opening where My TV is located. The big box stores said "It can't be done." but Paul's idea worked very well. And the price was very competitive with what the big box stores were trying to sell me. read more

Paul did a great job installing new shutters in our bedroom and was even able to move some of the old antique shutters to a different room to save us some money. We were very happy with his work and would definitely use him again! read more

Got to our cabin yesterday and looked at the Roman shade Paul installed for us this summer. I simply love it! Paul had suggested this type of window covering for such a difficult angled window and his recommendation could not have been better. He also installed motorized shades for very tall angled windows in our living room and again, they look wonderful. For some reason one of them came off the bracket and Paul was here in no time at all to fix it and alter the bracket so it would not happen again. I very much recommend Kempler Designs for your window coverings. Excellent products and service. read more

We've had Kempler Design help us on two different home improvement projects. Paul is fun to work with and has many great ideas to offer. We have always been pleased by the final result. Anybody looking to get window coverings will not be disappointed. read more

Great service. Paul found creative idea to solve our closet issue well within my budget. Went extra mile to make successful project. On-time, friendly and patient. Only wish I had found him sooner! read more

If you're interested in creative, responsive, responsible, personal and thoughtful help with your blind and/or interior designs, Kempler Design has those attributes. It was especially helpful that Paul asked questions about what and why we wanted what we wanted, as it led to our getting EXACTLY what we wanted..... Whereas, other companies just told us we couldn't get what we wanted - but they didn't investigate and show us alternatives of what would work perfectly, and end up being exactly what we wanted all along, as Paul did. We really appreciate Paul Kempler going just a little bit further with an effort to please. The other companies were in too much of a hurry to do this. We got three estimates, and though Paul's wasn't the very lowest in price, it was the best in value and most importantly it was what we wanted! It's awesome when someone is creative enough to help you achieve what you intended all along just by asking questions and suggesting alternatives that you didn't know existed. He's also somewhat of a perfectionist, which to me is awesome! read more
