From my initial call to A&M Designs, the process & experience has been exemplary…read more Angelo came to my home with a briefcase of samples of fabrics available, and explained my options and price ranges. He easily could have up-sold me for more than I needed, but instead, made suggestions on what would best suit my needs and budget.. I made my selections, and he took laser measurements for the two windows I was having new shades made for. He told me there would be a 3-4 week lead time from the manufacturer, since they are custom made to fit each application. About three weeks after he first came to measure, he returned and installed the new shades. He worked very cleanly, putting down a small quilt on my floor to prevent damage and dirt. I absolutely could not be happier with the shades or his workmanship. These folks are friendly, very professional and a pleasure to do business with. And as always, you get what you pay for. It wasn't inexpensive, but by my standards was a great value. Thank you Angelo and Mary!

Angelo guided us through the process of selecting the type of window treatments that would make the most sense based on the type of window. His prices are very reasonable and he really worked with me to find shades to fit with our budget. He is a pleasure to work with - responsive, pleasant, and experienced. I highly recommend A&M Designs.

We were unfamiliar with them and apprehensive in general due to a poor experience with a prior business. Not only did Middletown Shades and Blinds solve our problems for us, they exceeded our expectations in every way. It was evident from the beginning that the owners of the business, Mike & Vinny, placed customer satisfaction as their highest priority. They responded quickly to all communications, were professional and courteous at all times, listened closely to our needs, and we're mindful of costs, never 'over-selling' their services at any point along the way. Middletown Shades and Blinds is a different kind of business, the kind that you rarely find anymore. The owners of the business, Mike & Vinny, really care about what they do. They go above and beyond for their customers, and in the end it shows.

We took direct hits of 20 Ft waves slamming the house for hours during the extra high tide. Not a single drop of water entered our house. Seriously, not a drop. We saw our immediate neighbors' homes brutalized by Long Island Sound. The shutters 100% did a superior job. We decided to complete the protection of the house by installing shutters on the remaining windows and doors. Mark came out to measure promptly and within a short time, he installed them. In our extensive years as multiple home owners, we have seen our share of inferior craftsmen. Mark gives homeowners hope. Yes, that perfect installer does ,indeed, exist. He is meticulous, immaculate and hard working. Best of all, he is a problem solver. He thinks. He creates perfect solutions to those annoying problems that always seem to present themselves on the job. All that and he comes with an engaging personality and style. The shutters are fantastic and you will not find a more honest and skilled person than Mark Legenos to measure and install them.

He asked questions on where the item will be stored (high traffic va low traffic areas of home) and when i answered he provided a plethora of fabrics to consider.
