We moved into our new home and had tons of family arriving within 15 days! We were in a difficult situation because all the windows were bare and would not be pleasing to all the guests at our home upon arrival. We contacted some companies and the fastest installation would be 3-4 weeks. One day I saw a card in the mail from Modern shade and decor and when I called, Rich was so active and engaging over the phone and he informed me that he could get me the shades installed in a week on rush order! I thought it would be too good to be true but I went for it anyways. He was at my home the next day, measuring all the windows and giving me a variety of options to choose from. Without a doubt, the shades were installed within a week just in time for the arrival of my guests! They loved them and said they looked so "modern"! ... funny, since they are from Modern Shade and Decor!) Rich is very nice and understanding and wants his customers to be happy with the decisions they have made. He made sure to keep me updated throughout the week on the status of the shades and installed them rather quickly. Even if something was wrong with the shades/blinds, he would take it upon himself to point it out and get it fixed as soon as possible. The prices are very reasonable compared to other companies and service is phenomenal! I would recommend his service to all of family and friends and I'm sure they would not be disappointed at all. Thank you again for all your work! read more

It is quite surprising that Rich and Modern Shade and Decor doesn't have more reviews. We recently moved into our new home and wanted to take a look at a few options for blinds for our 20+ windows in a variety of shapes and sizes. We received several estimates from well-rated companies across Angie's List and Yelp/Google. In the end, the combination of pricing, product and personal service via Rich was hard to beat. He offers both Hunter Douglas and other products that all have a variety of pros and cons, but all have a solid warranty across the board for several years of peace of mind. Lastly, a few of the valances didn't quite cover the metal portion on top - Rich himself pointed those out and took care of replacing those after just a couple of weeks. Rich got started initially thanks to his family-run local business, and has a great approach to expanding the business in the Boston and surrounding metro areas. We were quite pleased with the service and affordability, and again the peace of mind for many years! read more

I was interested in Wood blinds for my new house. Had no idea what would look good or how to choose. Called Rich at Modern Shade and Decor and scheduled an appointment. He came to my house and showed me different samples of what I was interested in. He definitely made the process easier since he knew which colors would go with the rest of my decor. His pricing was reasonable the quality seemed good. Everything had a solid warranty as well. A couple weeks after ordering Rich came out, at night since I had a busy work week and couldn't stay home, and installed the blinds. He makes it look a lot easier than it actually is, i know because i've tried to install blinds myself. I was happy with the overall service and will definitely use again. read more

Rich was so easy to work with to pick out shades for our house. He took the time to meet with us on 2 different occasions and provided various samples that we were interested in. He has a laid back approach that make the process easy. My wife & I were debating between 2 different types of shades and Rich provided the Pros and Cons to each. His pricing is great as he easily beat the competition as we got 3 different quotes for our project. Rich also did the install and that provided an amazing start to end experience. I cant say enough nice things about Modern Shade and Decor. 4 Thumbs up for us. read more

I needed new blinds for my entire home. I preferred to deal with someone local and not a big chain store. I heard about Modern Shade and Decor from a friend of mine who was happy with their service and figured Id try them out. Rich, the owner, came to my home and helped me look through a few sample books, and gave some recommendations and tips which helped me pick blinds that ended up looking beautiful. Rich actually did the install as well. You don't see that from the chains. Rich was very pleasant to deal with and the price seemed reasonable and what others seem to pay for similiar shades. read more

Moved into a new house in August and needed window treatments for close to 40 windows. I love Hunter Douglas but couldn't afford to go that high end all the way. Rich was great! He introduced us to high quality off brand shades that worked and resembled HD for upstairs windows and we used a combination of HD products for main living windows, all coming in at a great budget. Installation was a breeze. Rich also did all the installation himself and even installed a shade we brought with us from our previous residence. Our house looks beautiful. Def would use Modern Shade again! read more

I would highly recommend Modern Shade and Decor. Rich is highly skilled and extremely professional. We absolutely love our shades, they are beautiful and of the best quality. We have had our shades for almost 2 years now and have not had one single problem with any of them. And when you have questions Rich responds promptly and provides the best service personally. We have 20 shades in our living room alone, and shades in every other room. If you are in need of shades, I would advise to seriously consider this company, it is a good investment. Dallas read more

I support local businesses which are professional, honest and easy to work with! Basically that's how I felt my transaction with Rich went. He knew what he was talking about, no upselling, listened to what I wanted and suggested a brand that would fit my budget. He kept me updated on the status of the blinds and after the installation he told me that I can always phone him if I have any question or issue with the blinds. So go ahead, contact Rich and see what he can do for your blinds and shades! read more

Had a great experience with Rich. We purchased a new home that required multiple custom blind fittings, and Rich was easy to work with and very responsive. Most importantly, I valued his honesty as we contemplated more expensive automated blinds vs. more affordable manual blinds, which ended up saving us money. Also, the full experience from reviewing our home, iterating on quotes / options and installation was handled directly with Rich. read more

Rich was great! He's very knowledgeable and gave us good tips to pick blinds and shades for our new house in Arlington: we ended with a mix of shades for the bedrooms, blinds for the living room and aux-wood / water-proof blinds for the kitchen. He did a great job installing everything, we are 1+ month in with the new blinds and shades and no issues to report. I highly recommend him if you are in the market for shades and blinds. read more

We were interested in refreshing the look of our home which has been the same for 12+ years. Ordered the designer roller shades for much of our home off the salesman's recommendation for a more contemporary look. Price was competitive with another local shop. The install went quickly and the designer shades looked way better than our curtains. Gives the rooms a new look and feel which is what we were after. : ) read more

Rich was great. He did an excellent job installing all of our Hunter Douglas Blinds in our new home. The installation was as smooth as can be. He was able to get the blinds the day we moved in! Couldn't have asked for a better transaction. Very professional and knowledgeable about the business. I highly recommend anyone to use Rich if you are in need of blinds. He does an excellent job read more

Rich was SO great to work with! He was responsive, quick, and our new shades look wonderful. We had another company come in and tell us that we couldn't have wood blinds, but Rich made it work (and well, I might add!) Rich was also so kind as to drop off temporary blinds before our permanent ones came in (we had guests in town and wanted a little extra coverage). Highly recommended!! read more

Had Rich come out to my house to install some Hunter Douglas Silhouettes. Installation was quick and precise. The shadings line right up with our trim molding. Gives the house a contemporary interior face lift. The picture I took doesn't do justice but that's the best my phone can do. read more
