    Smart drapes in their more opaque setting (cat in corner)

    Stop looking for window treatment vendors right now, Made in the Shade is the one you want! We needed to do about 28 windows on our new build. We reached out to several vendors in the Rocklin/Roseville/Lincoln area for quotes and within 10 minutes of speaking to Mandie in our home, it was clear that she is a true expert. She is so knowledgeable about all of her offerings and was honest about the industry. We were enjoying speaking with her so much that we were just hoping that when her quote came back it was a price we could do, even if it was a little bit over another vendor - and Made In the Shade came in *under* their competitors. The window treatments came in a few weeks later, on time. Darryl and Scott installed them and were fantastic. They were both so professional, good with our son (Scott even used a softer drill for our son with sensory sensitivities), and just an overall pleasure to work with. It has been a few weeks with the new window treatments now and we still talk about how much we enjoy them everyday. Also the shutters have made a huge difference in how cool the house feels on these 100+ degree days. Special note that they were the only vendor we spoke to who suggested Smart Shades, a blend between a curtain and vertical blinds. We were struggling to figure out a beautiful (but budget-friendly and child-friendly) alternative to vertical blinds until Mandie suggested these. I would have never known they existed without her. This is a fantastic local small business. You will be so happy you chose Made in the Shade.

    We has used Made in the Shades in our Lincoln home, back in 2014. When we purchased our new home in December 2020 we immediately reached out to them to get the quote started. We had about 26 windows and one slider, Lots of windows! During the middle of the pandemic we had a install date within 3 or so weeks of placing the order. I forgot the young man's name but he did a great job and was friendly. We will be using them again in any new homes we may purchase. The shutters in our Lincoln home are about 7 years old and we've had zero issues.

    My friend referred me to Made in the shade. They did a great job replacing blinds for shutters. I also had them install sheer shades in 6 windows. From start to finish they are an excellent company to do business with!

    New shutters!

    Absolutely love our new shutters - they were exactly what we ordered and Darryl professionally installed them - great product, super price - would highly recommend!

    Dean and his company Made in the Shade Blinds were recommended to me by a good friend who is an interior decorator. All her points were spot on- responsive, reasonable, good people. We replaced old cheap blinds throughout the house with new shutters. We could not be more excited about these shutters. They manage light and temperature extremely well and they look gorgeous. We had originally been unsure of shutters- namely over our kitchen sink as we like to have that window open to see the back yard. Our new bifold shutters over the sink are perfect! Dean was great to work with. His pricing is reasonable. He went above and beyond to make sure that our shutters were exactly what we wanted. I am excited to recommend Made in the Shade any chance I get.

    Plantation Shutters in Dining Room alcove. Blinds can be opened top or bottom or both. Really beautiful.

    I met Dean at the Home Show at Cal Expo in October. I wanted to have plantation shutters installed in a couple of windows in my house. Quality was key. With so many to choose, I also wanted to feel the integrity of the company. And value. I wasn't ready to spend thousands of dollars on shutters just for the name. After talking with Dean at the show, he came to my house, did measurements of the windows, and provided reasonable estimate. Installed the shutters yesterday afternoon. They fit perfectly. Look great. Real upgrade. Dean has been doing this for a few years, but was a contractor and a CHP officer before getting this business going. Great guy. Great work. Great product. Great company.

    The Blind Spot offered the lowest prices that we could find on Hunter Douglas blinds (beware:…read moredifferent vendors have different prices depending on their volume). Athena was our salesperson, highly recommend her! Athena was extremely skilled at helping us pick the right color and product for our remodel. The blinds are high quality and beautiful. Carlos did a great job with the installation and explanation of the Hunter Douglas app and remotes.

    We came in without any solid ideas for how to update our window coverings. The showroom is a nice,…read morespacious setting with lots of different products to see. We spoke with Athena (who is great & knowledgeable to work with) and she answered so many of our questions & went over lots of options with us. When we visited again with more narrowed ideas, Athena was again very helpful. We easily scheduled a time for her to come to our home for an estimate. The appointment took around an hour. She gave us honest opinions & suggestions to help us make appropriate decisions while being mindful of a budget. She was thoughtful about different factors we wouldn't have thought of on our own. She also offered tips. We were so pleased, we put in our order. Wait time until installation was 6 weeks. We ended up having shutters, roller shades, & sheer shades installed on 11 of our windows. We hit some snaffus that required 2 installation appointments. The first was about 2 hours long & included taking our old blinds away. They also went over how each worked & gave tips. There wasn't too much for us to clean up afterwards. Unfortunately, 2 windows had incorrectly sized shutters made & 1 set of shutters didn't pass the installer's quality test. Installers explained the situation & left temporary paper shades up. It was a bit disappointing. After an additional 4 weeks, we had the second installation that took around 30 minutes. All the installers were pleasant, respectful, & helpful to work with. The end result is so lovely & functional! We love them!! Note: They only offer Hunter Douglas products.

    Initial Consult: Courtney was thorough and gave solid advice for all the windows I asked about,…read moreincluding design and color options. She took her time and made accurate measurements of all the windows with a laser which was reassuring, because each window needs to be measured in multiple ways to ensure proper fit. Only thing I didn't like was that she told me she would send me a link for curtain rods to look into and I followed up twice but she never responded back about them. Install: Our installer Jose was great! Super professional, wore shoe protectors, and was friendly and efficient. He didn't mind my barky dog either. He answered all my questions, used a laser leveler to make sure everything was even, and even gave me advice for future window treatments. He took down the old blinds and patched holes as well. The new blinds fit perfectly and he was a joy to work with. Price: It's expensive, but many potential issues are covered by warranty and the blinds can often be fixed if there's an issue, unlike other brands where you would need to replace the entire blind. Jose gave us adjustment tools and showed me how to use it just in case we needed them, but also said it's unlikely we would need it much. Overall: Highly recommend this company. You get what you pay for.

It was a big decision and I am a very indecisive person and I am so grateful for Yvonne's expertise and patience with me! She made a follow up visit before we moved forward with a proposal and I just adored working with her. Our project consisted of Polysatin shutters with 3 1/2 inch louver with hidden tilt and split tilt at center in the 3 front facing windows and 9 designer roller shades with exposed reverse roll in the rest of our home. We received a project confirmation email within about one week of signing the proposal which informed us of the 4-6 week lead time for installation to be scheduled. We had our installation scheduled within 4 weeks and that's including the holidays! Installation was completed about an hour ago and they look stunning! Our installer was prompt and friendly and made sure to keep the areas clean while working and cleaned up really well after. I am so pleased with their work and highly recommend California Window Fashions to everyone!

    I had shutters installed by Axent Shutters Blinds & Shades back in June and wanted to live with…read morethem for a bit before writing a review -- and now a few months later I can confidently say it was such a great decision. Chris Louie, the owner, was incredibly friendly and responsive right from the start. After I submitted a quote request online, he contacted me almost immediately and came out with a huge variety of samples. Seeing the different shutter styles, sizes, and widths in person was so helpful because what I *thought* I wanted actually changed once he walked me through the options. He really took his time explaining everything, which made the process much less overwhelming. I also appreciated that he gave me a few days to think it over instead of pushing for a quick decision. After comparing everything, I decided to go with Axent -- and I'm so glad I did. The pricing was fair, communication was excellent, and the delivery and installation went smoothly. The install team was fantastic. They worked efficiently, cleaned everything up, and even vacuumed before leaving -- it honestly looked like they had never even been there. Helpful tip: if you're unsure about shutter sizes or styles, ask Chris to walk you through the differences in person with the samples. It makes choosing so much easier. Final verdict: absolutely worth it.

    Still haven't heard from this Karissa person. She was quick to respond to my negative review within…read more20 minutes yet when I emailed her at the email she provided I got no response. This has been typical of the service we have received. Clearly her response was so that other people reading the reviews would think the Shade Store is doing something but they don't actually follow through. At any rate, our missing shades eventually showed up and were installed, poorly. We were hoping these "room darkening" shades would be enough and we wouldn't need curtains, but the shade on the main master bedroom window was not centered. There is a huge gap on the left that doesn't cover the glass completely and lets a lot of light in. Some shades throughout the house come right down to the window sill while others stop about a quarter inch above it. Some are crooked where the left side touches the wndow sill and the right side sits a quarter inch above it. We had a total of 12 shades installed and maybe 1 looks correct. As it stands, we will still need curtains to cover the gaps left by the shades not being centered. Also, the installer left behind a lot of cardboard trash and screws on the carpet. We were hoping to do the rest of the windows in the house but won't be using the Shade Store again so now the other windows won't match.

Let us say it was a great experience from the beginning with help from Tais Paganin Kasperson in choosing fabrics, drapery style, hardware, etc., to having measurements taken and finally having our drapes installed. We can't say enough about the efficiency and professionalism of our entire customer service experience. And to top it all off -- our drapes look fantastic! We are extremely pleased and would not hesitate to recommend them. Thank you, Bill & Rosemary
