You can also show them pictures or ideas you have so that they can better understand what you're looking for! We obviously don't know anything about awnings but they showed us different styles and gave us Freedom to choose what we liked. Overall, a great experience!

Thank you again to Gil, Napoleon and Juan!…read more I strongly recommend that you contact Shades by Design if you are looking for shades, blinds or sheer curtains. Gil's expert advice and professional installations are most impressive! They deliver on schedule. Prices are extremely competitive! Quality products and materials used. It has been a month now since I had my 3% shades installed in my condo livingroom and bedroom and I am very happy with them. After googling local companies that sell and install shades, I discovered Shades by Design and I set up my appointment for an on-site consultation. The next day Gil arrived to inspect and measure the windows while listening to what I wanted. He provided expert advice and made suggestions, then took measurements and gave me an estimate right in the spot. His prices are extremely competitive with comparable quality products by companies charging much more. The delivery and installation were on schedule. Napoleon, the friendly and very efficient and professional installer was thorough and I especially appreciated his concentration on and attention to details. After the installation, Napoleon did a quick clean-up and reorganization of his materials and was on his way. After referring my brother to contact Shades by Design, again, Gil made very helpful suggestions for the best look and functionality. Yesterday, I had the pleasure of watching Juan and Napoleon install my brother's new shades. Again, both were very friendly, personable and professional. They were focused on the details and Juan went above and beyond with a task that made all the difference in the appearance of the finished product. He takes great pride in his work and is very detail-oriented as well. Juan takes great pride in his job, like Napoleon who Juan trained, focusing on every detail and overcoming some interior challenges to ensure the absolute best installation! Bother Juan and Napoleon are impressive installers and I STRONGLY RECOMMEND them to anyone.

We had two large awnings installed by Shades by Design several years ago, and the experience was so…read moregood that we recently worked with them again when we needed to temporarily unmount and then remount the awnings due to construction work. From start to finish, they are extremely professional. Every appointment was kept, they showed up on time, and they never canceled or rescheduled at the last minute--something that truly stands out, especially in Miami. Their focus on quality and attention to detail is exceptional. Everything--from the very first call, to scheduling, installation, and follow-up--was handled flawlessly. The team clearly takes pride in their work, and it shows in both the process and the final result. While Shades by Design is not the cheapest option, you truly get what you pay for. The craftsmanship, reliability, and professionalism are worth every dollar. If you are considering awnings, shades, or anything similar, don't hesitate to use Shades by Design. They deliver outstanding work and a level of service that is rare to find.

I finally got in touch with one of their former installers who referred me to another company explaining that Shademonster is essentially out of business.

Initially they canceld my Tuesday appointment for not paying the ransom and told me that my appointment had been given to someone else that I had to wait until Friday afternoon for the technician.

We called Biscayne Decor (also called Biscayne Blinds, apparently) on the recommendation of our window manufacturer. Our window dressings were out of warranty, and we needed someone to come perform a quick procedure--that we should have been able to do by ourselves, but because of the proprietary design of the mechanism, we didn't have the tool to do it. I called and made an appointment to have someone come out and do what should have been a quick repair. After it was scheduled, I choked a bit at the price: $200. But our window shades weren't closing, and our east-facing windows demanded a quick solution if we ever hoped to get any sleep. The guys who came to do the repair were nice enough--and quick enough. They performed the quick replacement; I signed on the dotted line; and they left with my $200. I know, I know, I know I should have monitored their work, but I figured the job was so simple, there was no way they could screw it up, right? WRONG! Not only did they scratch the window dressings (about inch-long paint scratches on two windows), but they weren't careful in the way that they reinstalled one of the blinds, and the closure mechanism ended up tearing part of the blind fabric itself. I didn't notice this until after they left. I called as soon as I saw the problems, but the guys were already on their way to anther job, and I was out of luck. About a week later, I was able to get the installed to return with the owner to survey the damage. The owner was very efficient and just took the blinds away, back to his shop for repair. He was actually pretty apologetic, and said he'd have them back to us as soon as possible. These are blinds for our master bedroom, which has pretty much wall-to-wall glass, so that means we couldn't sleep in that room until the blinds were returned . . . which was another week later. Once those blinds were re-installed, however (the installers, now on their third visit, basically refused to talk to me), part of one of the blinds was FILTHY! After trying to remove some of the dirt myself to no avail, I showed the guys how dirty the blinds were, and they very frustratedly attempted to clean the part. (This was the part they replaced, so there was no reason why it should have been filthy.) I let them do their thing while I worked in the other room. I think they ended up having to replace it again, I don't know. LONG STORY SHORT: A quick job that should have taken about 15 minutes took more than two weeks (and three afternoons off from work to meet these guys to fix their mistakes AND $200 . . . ). Even if these guys are authorized service providers for Hunter-Douglass, I won't go back next time i need service. No way no how.
