Years ago, I called Mark to see about replacing some broken blinds. Instead of selling me an expensive replacement, he told me it looked like a simple fix and did it for me for FREE on the spot. That's the kind of honest guy he is! This time, when I decided to finally replace them, I knew who to call. He suggested options in different price ranges and got me exactly what I needed. And he's such a pleasure to work with! read more

Mark is a true professional that has a wonderful attitude toward taking care of clients. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend him to all.

Mark is fantastic. I broke a chain on one of the outdoor shades he installed, my fault! I called him and the next day, in the heat he came by and repaired it. No charge, not even for enduring the 105 degrees on my patio! So pleased with my decision to use him for our new shades. read more

Mark was helpful in referring me to a HD blind repair store in the desert. The next time we need blinds we will call him. read more

Very happy with the service and professionalism at Lifetime Blinds. Mark came out, measured for multiple windows and showed me many choices of blinds to choose from. A couple weeks later him and his crew installed them and they are perfect. Great product, reasonable prices, and super service. Highly recommended! read more

Mark just installed Hunter Douglas Vertiglides over large patio doors in our master bedroom and guest bedroom and they are incredible! Perfect light control and able to crack the door open a bit and still keep light out. He was recommended by our neighbor and we would also recommend him highly. He was very helpful in knowledgable in making our choice as well as sizing correctly. Product arrived fast and he was very accommodating in setting up the installation date. read more

We bought a new home in Palm Springs and needed window coverings for the entire house. After interviewing several companies, we brought in Mark to do measurements and give a quote. His price was competitive and even a few dollars less than the next closest quote. What impressed us right from the beginning was that Mark seemed very customer focused. He listened to us carefully and made helpful suggestions. Ultimately we settled on roller shades to complement the contemporary design of the home. Mark offered a wide range of choices for materials and guided us to what he felt would suit our decor. Plus Mark pointed out that the valance he provides with shades has the unique feature of being entirely enclosed so that the blind "disappears" when it is fully raised. The order for the blinds was fulfilled on time and Mark scheduled the installation at our convenience. The installation process was professional and efficient. Mark stayed the entire time to make sure everything was done right. On top of all this, Mark has been a pleasant, good humored and honest person to deal with. He may he retired but he still has it! read more

The chain in one of our roller blinds had come off the gear and we tried fixing it ourselves to no success. These things are more complicated than we expected and the gear (first photo) becomes un-usable when you pop it open. We had to take down the blinds and cover ourselves. Luckily, Mark was very quick with communication when we contacted him (we found his website) and came over at a convenient time the following day and fixed it for us. He provided us with the necessary replacement and put the chain back in place. He also mounted the blinds back up and now it's working as intended. We would definitely contact him again if any of our blinds break again. read more

I could not be happier with my experience with Lifetime Blinds and Mark the owner. I'm leaving this review over a year after having our blinds installed because I now realize that getting any home improvement jobs done these days is usually such a dilemma, and we all need to give a shout out to companies like Lifetime Blinds that are exceeding expectations. I can only dream of a day when all businesses have the same high level of customer service and integrity that Lifetime Blinds has. From the first call to installation, every step was effortless. During the consultation, Mark used his expertise to select the perfect options for every door and window in our house. Over a year later we love every blind that was selected, especially the motorized one in the entrance. Every penny spent was well worth it and has definitely added value to our desert pad. Thanks again Mark and your team. I want you to know how much I truly respect and appreciate you and your company. read more

Mark installed electric blinds in my whole home two years ago. We had a few problems with them a couple years later. He came over and fixed the problems at no cost to me. Lifetime blinds is a great name of his company I highly recommend his company. read more

Very happy with the service and product from Mark at Lifetime Blinds. He was very responsive on setting up initial appointment and provided very good suggestions. I got two bids, the first from Costco's local rep and the second from Mark. I found him on Yelp, thanks fellow reviewers. Then I asked my designer, Judy Garvey from Blank Canvas Homes (good review on Judy coming next), about him and she said he did great work. I was sure we were going with Costco until I met with Mark. He provided suggestions on two impact items that I would have been unhappy about if it were not for Mark's insight. One was NOT to use roller shades on rooms with French doors where people are sleeping as they don't totally block out the light, we used the honey comb type instead. And the other was to use white headers above the roller shades in the non sleeping areas so when they are pulled up they blend into the wall (which are painted white) The other shocking fact is that Lifetime Blinds price was less than the Costco rep. The difference wasn't huge, BUT according to the Costco rep there was a limited time offer for a $1500 Costco cash card. The base price was very far apart and you needed to the $1500 cash card to get close. And finally the service was outstanding, Mark and his installer Shane arrived promptly on time, provided great service. We needed a follow-up because I accidentally pulled a roller shade off the track and Mark was there at 8:30 am the next day to fix it. Overall for service, quality product, and price you can't go wrong with Lifetime Blinds. read more

Just wanted to commend Mark Huckins from Lifetime Blinds for Exceptional Service. Four Years ago He installed Shades in my Rancho Mirage Home. Last Thursday His Team worked well together for almost an hour to repair a Shade that was damaged accidentally by one of my friends. The problem was likely User Error but Mark didn't charge me anything for the Repair or Parts. read more

I called Mark at Lifetime Blinds nearly 5 years after they installed shades for us. One shade was difficult to raise and very squeaky. To my astonishment he and his crew showed up 10 minutes later and fixed it. Truly exceptional service. Love these guys! read more

I purchased a new home in Joshua Tree that needed modern shades. Mark's solution with electronic roller shades with hidden enclosures and wall switches was a perfect fit for our large windows. Mark's professionalism was on full display as he made great suggestions for the home, then stuck around to answer questions and help set up our shade operation on our smartphones. Super cool! Great service. Best in the area. read more

We just finished our second project with Lifetime Blinds and the results were fantastic both times! Mark is an excellent and experienced designer and he carries a wonderful selection of vendors and fabrics. His prices are very competitive with the big box stores and DIY outlets, and the personal attention and expertise he provides is well worth any additional cost. Blinds are so important out here in the desert, so in my opinion an in-home professional design session is essential. Plus, Mark stands behind his installations 100%. Highly recommended!!! read more

Lifetime Blinds was the best choice of vendor we could have chosen to recommend and install blinds all throughout our Bermuda Dunes home. Mark was absolutely awesome! He was professional, friendly and worked with integrity. The installation was excellent and we could not have been happier with the result. If you want a vendor who sticks to their commitments and you can rely on, Lifetime Blinds is it!!! All questions and concerns were dealt with immediately, and honestly!! Mark and Shane have the experience and quality products to make your home a better place to reside. Book em danno!! read more

Mark has done it again! He made it so easy, and is knowledgeable, professional and prompt! I could go on forever...it's not easy getting great service. So if you are in need of blackout blinds, or solar coverings w style, he's the guy! Recently, (and he's done work for me in the past) he knew exactly how to cover the glass bricks in the foyer, as well as in the living room to resolve the summertime heat in P.S. Just read all these 5 star reviews! LUV him & you will too. read more

Mark came to give me a quote for replacement roller shades, and upon looking at my existing shades he told me they had more life in them and spent about an hour tuning them up. They were like new when he finished! When I tried to pay him, he refused. He said one day I'll replace the shades, and when I do I can come to Lifetime Blinds. I definitely will! This is the kind of customer service that restores one's faith in humanity. He very easily could have sold me on brand new shades at a high price, and he didn't. Thank you, Mark! Would give ten stars if I could and I'll definitely give them my business in the future. read more

A dear friend saught my advice regarding a widow treatment project for her remodeled condo that had been put off. Her project included the use of existing sheers and drapes having considerable sentimental value. Mark agreed to meet with my friend at an opportune time. Mark suggested a creative proposal that met her objective. Mark assembled the custom roller shades and rods and arrived at the appointed time to effect the installation. My friend is very pleased with the results. Mark delivered on her expectations. Lifetime Blinds should be at the top of your list when considering window treatments. Quality, creativity and expert professionalism at a very competitive price with a Lifetime Guarantee. read more

I'm adding another 5 star review here to what is a very long list of 5 star reviews. Very happy with both the quality of service and the outcome. Highly recommend. read more

What a hero! We bought a house where Mark had installed the shades. One was stuck in the down position and for the life of me, I couldn't get it to retract. One call to Mark and he knew what the problem was - an undusted solar panel in the window ledge! He popped by, explained how I can avoid the problem in the future and made us happy clients! Don't hesitate to Use Mark, you won't be disappointed! read more

Mark Huckins is amazing.I have an older shade, which broke. The parts I needed were no longer available.Mark and Shane came today and were able to put my shade back together again .Mark is not only very professional & nice ( which just doesn't happen enough,these days ) I would never use anyone else .... I would give them more stars , if they had them ... read more

Very disappointing. Sent multiple emails and called a few times and no response. Did they go out of business? Very poor customer service.

I called Lifetime Blinds when we were having a problem with two motorized shades and thought we would have to replace all of our shades in order to have them match. Lifetime Blinds did not install our original shades but having heard good things about them, I called Mark. When Mark came out to measure for new shades, he took one look and said, "we've got to get these working for you as they were way too expensive to replace." It took a great deal of Mark's time to work with the manufacturer to get the problem resolved. He only charged us for what the manufacturer charged him to replace parts, etc. He saved us thousands of dollars and cost himself money by not just simply agreeing to sell us new shades. (We hope our tip covered his time and energy.) I can't think of anything that says more about the integrity and fairness of a business person than how Mark handled our problem. He gave up a good sized sale by getting the problem with our old shades resolved. He has my confidence and my trust. I recommend him heartily. Pennie M. read more

Mark from Lifetime Blinds came over to give me an estimate for electric shades for my living room. I wanted to be sure the blinds would block the sun from our living room. Three weeks later as promised, Mark came with his installer to put them up. They look fabulous and work perfectly. I highly recommend Mark to anyone looking for great looking motorized blinds or any other blinds. Thank you Mark for a professional job and great looking blinds. read more

If I could, it would be 6 stars! We needed both light-blocking and room-darkening shades for different rooms in our new desert home. Mark came out, interviewed us, surveyed the different rooms, showed us the books of choices, aimed us to our medium price range, and just generally made it a very pleasant process -- one that I was dreading! He left us with an estimate, and after we accepted it, telling him we wouldn't be there for installation, we arranged for someone to let him in on installation day a few weeks later, and voila! Done. Painless. And he even took photos and texted them to me after. So pleased with the result. Mark is amazing. Give him a try, stop dreading it! read more

Mark was so great!! He came to our house with a part to repair our blinds. Thank you so much!!

My Verticle Blinds were over 21 years old. The living room blinds were starting to jam. So, I called Mark at Lifetime Blinds. He came over the very next day; measured and took my order for the living room and the bedroom replacement blinds. I found the price to be a VERY fair one. When he returned for the installation, everything went smoothly. He and his installer did a great job and cleaned up nicely after themselves. Mark's blinds were much better than the originals. They are much easier to open & close. It was a job well done and I consider it money well spent. I couldn't have gotten a better job. read more

When we first moved to Rancho La Quinta, we purchased blinds for our entire home, all of which had issues - didn't block the sun properly was the most problematic! We had to repurchase just about every room. . Fortunately, we found Lifetime Blinds of La Quinta when replacing our poorly chosen blinds. Wish we had found this company when we moved in! Had no idea how important finding a company that gave solid advice about window treatments was in the desert! The sun here is unique and buying window treatments from a place that gives solid advice is essential. Mark, the owner, makes sure that you purchase the right blinds for every location in your home. In addition to knowing the function of the available products, he carries a wide variety of brands at different price points as well as offers great decorating advice. He provides lifetime repair on all his products, which may be available with high price Hunter Douglas products, but rarely, if ever, available on the money saving alternative brands. Because I have successfully used online reviews to choose excellent car repair and closet organizing, I felt compelled to write a review for Lifetime Blinds of La Quinta to help others in their search for companies that excel in the desert,. And I did so particularly due to my negative experience with the first window treatment company. I like that Mark focuses on a lifetime of happiness! read more

I can's say enough good things about Mark and Lifetime Blinds. Three years ago he installed regular roller blinds in our living room and a more high tech automated blind system in our bedroom in Palm Springs. Installation and service back then were top notch and Mark was always really responsive, friendly and a joy to work with. Thanks to a guest's user error (no fault of the blind), one of the automated blinds in our bedroom malfunctioned. I texted Mark and within 2 days his technician was out here (arrived early!) and repaired the blind - for free! Now that is how to win a customer for life. I wish more companies followed Mark's lead and provided that level of service. We highly recommend Lifetime Blinds! read more

If you need top class service and product this is company to hire. Mark is incredible! His knowledge and professional approach is exceptional. Coupled with the fact he is a super wonderful person. We moved to PS from LA 4 months ago and blinds were the priority for our Midcentury home. Mark did a detailed estimate and advised according to our style and budget. There was no hard sell pressure and the choices were outstanding. When Mark and his amazing team came to install it was perfection from start to finish. All my new neighbors have commented how amazing the blinds look. We couldn't be happier with the outcome. Don't look any further and book an appointment you will not be disappointed. read more

Had a great experience with Lifetime Blinds from my first meeting with Mark. My condo in Palm Springs was transformed. The difference was dramatic. Mark showed me options I hadn't thought about. I also incorporated color. The blinds were ready in a couple of weeks and we met to install. It took less than 30 minutes for two rooms. Very happy and will be doing two other rooms. Great service, products, and value! read more

Mark was referred to me by a representative of QMotion (automated battery powered blinds) as a QMotion authorized installer/repair to do pinch-hitting substitution provision of service and followup High level local service personnel are required as Headquarters of QMotion offensively repels end-users (you know, the people who pay their salaries and make their profits possible) to force them to talk only to representatives in the field. Frankly, that is a myopic and arrogant policy for any corporation to take, but now that I found Mark, I hopefully will never again be tempted to try to get answers from headquarters. Mark is my preferred provider BY FAR. Whatever else he may sell in the future, I'll consider buying it. (He took my order for the white wall-plate to mount the mini-controller.) Communications with Mark was fluid and he kept me informed as his schedule became clear. Mark arrived ontime within about a day after my request WITH the proper mini-remote controller to replace my defective Qmotion mini-remote control. Apparently, he keeps spare parts around on his truck. Nice! The remote originally sold to me had an electrical joint manufactured without care to make a competent connection --very poor craftsmanship at the factory. Mark had a speed-dial to a factory representative to get immediate instructions on linking the remote to the blind in question. Everything proceeded very smoothly and efficiently. Plus Mark's innate gentle but sophisticated manners, personality, and presence will make just about everyone around him feel at ease and comfortable...think fine restaurant maître d, or, a great masseur. read more

Horrible in-home consultation with Mark, the owner. His sample book was a mess and because we couldn't make a decision as quickly as he wanted (he was there for a half hour) because our elderly parents weren't there due to COVID so we Facetimed them in, he got very annoyed, rolling his eyes, huffing and puffing, shaking his head and then started berating us that this is his busiest time of the year and we were wasting his time. I politely asked him not to lecture us as it was inappropriate and he was very, very rude. He then slammed all his stuff back in his bag and walked out in a huff. DON'T USE THIS COMPANY. As owner, Mark's behavior was inappropriate no matter the circumstances. I've gotten better service elsewhere. read more

Had a great experience solving broken blackout shades. Contacted Mark blindly and he referred me to his installer/repairman, Shane Dunn, directly. Shane came out within hours and replaced the broken cords on each shade. I hadn't considered that the shades could be repaired, expecting to pay for replacement shades at a cost of $650. Shane charged me $125, resulting in a significant savings. All of it was accomplished within 24 hours of contacting Mark. read more

Mark has taken excellent care of us on multiple occasions. We used him to add blinds to both master bedrooms. Then months later had him come back to install blinds in our living room. Now just had him come back for some more windows. He works quickly and efficiently. And his prices are reasonable, for sure. Also, he follows up to check on things periodically. He has also come back to the house with just a few hours notice when we had a problem with one of the blinds. Highly recommend Mark. read more

Mark was absolutely fantastic. He kept us informed of where our blinds were as they were traveling across the United States. Within 24 hours of them arriving in his shop they were installed. Excellent installation. Left our room neat and clean. He is absolutely the best. read more

Lifetime Blinds and Mark transformed our already beautiful, brand-new desert condominium into a true masterpiece! His extensive selection of blinds, professionalism, friendliness, and expert installation truly exceeded our expectations. I only wish we had found him sooner; having wasted time on two other consults who paled in comparison to Mark and Lifetime, in every way. Here is a man and business run with a true commitment to integrity, standards and results! Thank you Mark! -The Pawleys' read more

Mark Huckins is a COMPLETE JOY to work with! He came to our home and helped us with repair of old blinds, installation of new blinds, tracks, wands, etc., all the while with a big smile on his face.
