Backstory to this review - In July 2023, I spent time and effort in getting multiple estimates for plantation shutters, sliding door coverings, and kitchen blinds for our home. Quality of the products, price, availability, installation workmanship, and customer service/support were all factors in making a daunting decision. After meeting many companies, I was drawn to the independent and local businesses in order to support them but they also provided a more personal experience compared to the big name brands and big box store vendors. One local and small business appointment was with Miguel of MJ Blinds. He was able to meet with me quickly at my home and brought many samples, options, and selections to examine and see first hand. Miguel had a wealth of knowledge from his experience of sales, product familiarity, installation, quality, fulfilling clients needs while being mindful of budget, backing up the products and installations that he provides, understanding aesthetic and design, and more! He exuded a passion for providing beautiful window coverings and also sincerely taking care of his clients as the relationship would be as long standing as the longevity of plantation shutters. Miguel measured all of the windows and doors with confidence and precision knowing that the construction of the openings are not perfect. We decided on a particular shutter style, sliding door vertical blinds, and roll up blinds to be included in the estimate. Miguel was intimately familiar with his pricing of products and installation costs so he was immediately able to quote us a number. He graciously gave us his best pricing and incentives to consider. I was impressed with the quote and the fast turnaround of having the shutters custom made ready for installation compared to long wait time of other businesses. Hand-shake done deal! Installation was on schedule as forecasted by Miguel. Miguel and his own team of installers arrived and completed everything within hours not days. All plantation shutters and frames fit with no issues and Miguel installed the vertical and roll up blinds himself promptly and efficiently. What a beautiful transformation to our home that we had longed for from the day we closed escrow on it but had no funds to spend as a young couple stretching to pay the mortgage in the late nineteen nineties. We waited 20+ years to finally enjoy the timeless presence of plantation shutters. Coming forward to January 2026 - Still basking in the glory of white wooden shutter aesthetic, form, and function. One of our larger windows has been recently experiencing what appears to be rubbing of the lower shutter doors on the frame which make it hard to close smoothly. Possibly the large size of the doors are causing the hinges to loosen or sag? I reach out to Miguel after these years past and he immediately responds to my inquiry for help. With no hesitance, he steps up and offers the availability of time slots that an employee can come by and assist. I choose one that is only a day away and thank him for the expedient appointment. His worker is on time and immediately goes to work to correct the problem after grabbing some of his tools from his panel truck. With some effort which included trial and error, one shutter door is quickly adjusted and the other side is removed, taken to his truck, adjusted, reinstalled, touch up spray paint applied to areas that were rubbing that matches, and doors are returned to functioning as designed. A cordial offer to fix any others while he is here is declined as we have no other problems with the 9 remaining windows that have plantation shutters. We thank him and he is off to his next job. Miguel contacts me soon after his worker leaves to check on the repair and my satisfaction. I give him the good news and accolades for his continued support of me as a client. He is appreciative and reminds me to call upon him with any further questions or needs in the near or far future. This is a small local business owner being accountable for the products and services that his company provides, standing by his word, and extending a level of customer service that is exemplary and worthy of sharing with the community. read more

We recently hired MJ Blinds to install our shutters in our new home. We can't be happier with every aspect of the service. They offered us a variety of samples that surpassed the competition. They also got everything done faster than expected. The price was comparable to others. I also appreciate how responsive they were to our questions. Very professional. We would definitely use them again. read more

I would give MJ Blinds ten stars if I could. We renovated our home from head to toe, and selecting the perfect roller shades was imperative to make the place look polished. From start to finish, Miguel made the process SO EASY. He was extremely kind, professional, and patient as I browsed through his large selection of fabrics. He also took time to explain the pros and cons of each fabric and never tried to up-sell. The wait time for production was reasonable, and he communicated each step of the way. Installation day was easy, and he made sure everything was up to my standards before the job was completed. I hired another company for drapes, and he took extra care to ensure his measurements would be compatible with their drape measurements. As a bonus, his quote in comparison to other companies in the area was unbeatable. I recommend MJ Blinds without any hesitation and will be hiring him again for any future needs! read more

We had Miguel @ MJ blinds, replace our very old bay window blinds and a patio door with new blinds. From the first time we talked on the phone, to when Miguel came over to give us a quote, we felt very confident with everything he told us about blinds. So he measured everything and told us he'll get back with us with a quote. Two days later he emailed me with the quote, and we were very please with the price. We never got a quote from any other blinds company, but we felt the price was probable equal or lower than those other companies. I highly recommend MJ blinds to do you blinds or shutters. read more

I am very pleased with the service MJ Blinds provided. The pull cord on large shade that I bought from another business kept breaking. Rather than sell me a new shade (which I was prepared to do), Miguel was able to have his manufacturer convert my shade from cord operated to manual lift for a reasonable price. He is very professional and honest. Highly recommended. read more

Excellence and professional. Mr Miguel was very helpful in our decision making as to our choice of window treatments and we are very satisfied with the outcome of our choice. read more

I have 3 roller shades in my condo in DTLA and thought to myself.... Wouldn't it be amazing if I was able to control them without using the remote?? Miguel came to the rescue and installed a somfy myLink so I could control my shades with my Amazon Alexa. What a great feature! Couldn't have automated my shades without him! About a year and a half later the somfy myLink stopped working. I called tech support and they told me I would have to take it back to where I bought it since they only work with authorized retailers. I called Miguel and told him about my issue and the conversation I had with Somfy. Within a week I had a new, updated version of the device, free of charge! He honored the five year parts warranty and I was back up and running in no time. Miguel's professionalism and customer service were top notch. MJ Blinds stands behind their products and workmanship. I highly recommend this company! read more

Prior rave reviews were spot on. Miguel is easy to work with, provides quality service and a good product. He installed 7 window treatments and all function and work great. He installed my door shades without a bottom track so I good see if It worked well for me. We found we need the bottom so i texted him today and he answered within 5 min. An hour back he texted back with an available time to install. I write this with my highest recommendations read more

I was referred to Miguel by a neighbor on Nextdoor. I called to see if he could help fix my living room blinds that were refusing to open. Appointment set up for a few days later. We did decide to replace the blind as well as upgrade the rest of our window blinds which were installed 2 weeks later. Miguel and his team are very professional and work smartly and speedy. I highly recommend MJ Blinds. Definitely a very happy and satisfied customer. read more

Where do I begin!!! Miguel deserves 10 for so many reasons so I'll start listing them off... His response time at returning my calls is awesome. He's super friendly and NOT pushy whatsoever! He was incredibly thorough and had an incredible selection for me to choose from. His lead time and prices were completely reasonably and the labor was fast and efficient. I LOVE my new window coverings!! We decided to pay up for the remote control option and THANK GOODNESS we did because it's AMAZING!! The charcoal color of the material matched my walls perfectly and the 3% block was exactly what we needed to cut the glare. I couldn't be happier and I'm telling everyone I know to call Miguel if they are in the market for widow treatments. Thank you so much Miguel... I'm sure we'll be doing business with you again! read more

What a wonderful experience my husband and I had with working with this company. Miguel was AMAZING! My husband and I have to admit are very picky and we have never had any type of shades installed in our home before. Miguel made the process so easy and he is very knowledgeable of what he does. We chose the black out shades with the remote and we are in love with them. We just finished our remodel and now going to do the other windows in our home. If you're searching for someone to customize your shades look no further I've done the research and these team of experts are amazing. Thank you Miguel 10 stars! read more

I will only say I agree with what everyone else has to say about Miguel. He was a pleasure to deal with. He was timely in his responsiveness as well as delivering a great product at less than half the price I was quoted by the company who represents Costco. It's been a long time since I was surprised by a price on the good side. I could not be happier with the entire process. read more

So far I have done 2 separate projects and I will be calling him for a 3rd project. His prices are super fair and he was very respectful of my home during the estimate and install. Definitely read the reviews and all the wonderful things people have to say about him. You will not be disappointed. read more

I found Miguel of MJ blinds on Yelp when I was searching for a company to fix a rod of fallen blinds from an installation from another company.

I can't say enough great things about Miguel and his installers. He was the most professional out of all companies that gave us an estimate. They were the most reasonable and competitive pricing out there. I needed some shutters and blinds for my ADU and I didn't even end up going with the prior company who did my main house. He beat them too! He was extremely responsive and prompt. They came today to finish the install and I've already received compliments on how wonderful my shutters were. I would definitely recommend MJ Blinds. I hope they'll be around for many years to come. read more

Our new house truly feels like a home because of Miguel's amazing work. I learned about MJ Blinds via Yelp and reached out to setup a free consultation. Miguel was responsive and and extremely flexible with my family's schedule. He arrived on time for the consultation and was extremely upfront and honest about the pros and cons between faux wood and actual wood blinds. He did not try to upsell or pressure us to purchase anything. He also was extremely considerate of our young children and explained the different safety measures his company implements such as shorter wands and cords. My husband and I immediately knew that we did not need to schedule any other consultations and that we wanted to work with MJ Blinds because of their amazing customer service and affordable pricing. The turnaround time for the custom blinds was EXTREMELY quick and the installation went quite smoothly - it only took about an hour and a half to install blinds for 14 windows. Miguel brought all the necessary equipment with him for installation and even placed our tacky temporary window treatments in the trash - he truly goes above and beyond for his customers. Thank you Miguel for everything - I will always recommend you to family, friends, and acquaintances in the market for window treatments in LA area. read more
