When we bought our house a decade ago, Jill came and showed us the perfect product. It was delivered and installed. They stood behind their warranty. They just fantastic. They are one example of why I try to shop anywhere except big box stores or that large online retailer that shall not be named. They give you a professional, who knows their product and works to understand your needs. I'm so glad they're still here. read more

Quality product, staff/crew professionalism and courtesy from all involved! Our project, from start to finish, was 5 star. We couldn't be more pleased with the results. read more

My second purchase with Pugerudes. Ten years ago they installed plantation shutters/shades at my home. I am so pleased with the results. Recently, finished kitchen renovation. Decided a new kitchen shade was necessary....oh what the heck...get new drapes, too. Sara came to my home armed with heavy books of fabric samples. She helped me with my decision, and once again I am pleased with the outcome. Pugerudes, a family owned business, is a business I highly recommend. Thank you...Jill, Dave, Alex, and Sara. read more

Dave, Jill, Alex are absolutely amazing.Very Special thanks to Tara. If you are looking for honest professionals at work. This company should get 10 stars! Thank you Pugerudes!!! read more

Excellent! A family business offering great service including coming out to you! My family loves the service here and had purchased many window coverings The service is the real star along with their products! I appreciate their warm friendly kindness along with their expertise. For this reason I will continue to return. Comparing their knowledge and service to big chain stores there is a huge difference read more

We recently replaced all blinds in our house which included 4 skylight blinds. We went to Pugerudes in downtown Kent, WA. Pugerudes is a small family operated company which is extremely people oriented. We are very pleased with the customer service and the high quality of the Hunter Douglas products. Pugerudes helped us work through many product design choices given different situations in our house layout. They also helped us time our purchase to take advantage of sale prices. They installed the skylight blinds and were very conscientious about moving their ladders carefully. They also answered our many questions (which went beyond blinds and into other house remodeling topics) and gave us tips about care and cleaning of the blinds while they were here. We would highly recommend Pugerudes! read more

Rude. THEY made a mistake, ordered the wrong shades and blamed me! Then the owner Dave had the nerve to berate me, a single woman, while he was in my own home. Why? Because I held them accountable for fixing their mistake! What kind of business yells at their customers? Take accountability, make it right, fix the mistake and move on! He wouldn't stop yelling at me. I had to ask him several time to leave my home. I shouldn't have to feel unsafe in my own home with this unstable man. He should be ashamed. I am shaken and disgusted by that abusive interaction. Shameful Dave! read more

I have lived in Kent my entire life and always wanted a reason to visit Pugerudes. We just bought a new house so I decided to give them a call for an in-home consultation. I was shocked when the owner, Jill, told me she would come out in just a couple of hours. She arrived promptly at our scheduled time and was able to electronically capture all the measurements in less than 20 minutes. We had a good chat about our options and the design choices I had in mind. The next day we visited Jill in the showroom to test out all the different window treatments and the different options for each. Yes, there are various upgrades for each type of treatment. Ultimately, we chose the Hunter Douglas cellular shades with top-down functionality, light filtering, and light rise handles, which just means we are able to lift the blinds with one hand from the bottom to open them. We also added the blackout inserts for the bedrooms so they would block the outdoor light for longer sleep. There were some higher end shades that my wife and I both loved, but they were almost double the price and we had 24 windows and 2 sliding glass doors to cover. It's nice to know that there are plenty of options at every price point. Jill and her husband Dave were both fantastic. I asked a lot of uncommon questions and she had a satisfactory answer for all of them. Dave was able to come out the day the blinds arrived at the store and install them in less than 3 hours. It was a very quick 14 day turnaround, but I heard the lead times for Hunter Douglas have tripled recently due to new COVID protocols. The lead times they provide are pretty accurate so there are no surprises and communication via text was perfect for me. I appreciate being able to get a quick answer without writing an email or picking up the phone. I am extremely satisfied with my new Hunter Douglas cellular shades. Over the course of my life I have owned three different types of Hunter Douglas shades: 1-inch metal, 2-inch wood, and now cellular. Overall, the price is commensurate with the top quality professionalism, experience, and communication. You aren't going to get this level of customer service at a big box store, so you'll need to level set your expectations if you go that route. P.S. Make sure you purchase window treatments that match your specific needs regardless of your budget. For most people, blinds for your home are a one-time purchase. Don't try to save money by buying the cheapest blinds, especially if they don't afford any level of privacy (see-through) or have any insulating properties. You will not be happy in the long run and realistically regret your decision daily! Just my two cents. read more

See all

used my daughter in laws recommendation for shades in my new home. I was very pleased with the initial consult and the installation, excellent service. read more

Great working with a family-owned business that has been around a long time. Everything went smoothly from initial measuring of windows to the install. I would recommend Pugerudes for window coverings. read more

I could be mad at myself for not having spent considerably less for window services from Home Depot or the like. Instead, I'm super happy that I chose Pugerudes. I had no idea that it was a family owned business (which has gotten more important to me over the years), and they put quality and care into their work. There was a mistake around measurements of the windows (and I've learned I also have some unique window structures in my 1906 house), but Dave didn't give any vibe of anger or even frustration - he rolled with it, gave a new date for installation to receive shutters that would properly fit my windows, and came back as quickly as possible with a stunning installation. The cost for quality is obvious, and I am very pleased with both Jill (for her professional persistence) and Dave (who did the install) - they are two stellar characters that I hope to support their business again with another order in the future. read more

Thank you ! Here is family owned business, and they are super responsive and kind. And they tried to their best to meet the promising date for installation. So I feel appreciate it even if during pandemic. Price was a little expensive as it was a customized drapery, However, i like it so much! read more

Pugerudes - Shades & Blinds Near Me - Kent, Washington

Local family owned place. At 1st I thought prices were a little high. But the customer service made it worth it!! They know their stuff and gave helpful info so I could do the install myself. Only draw back was delivery should have come to my house. But when they didn't show up I called. they said they were delivered to their store. It would have been nice to get a call from them when they arrived. read more

I recently ordered new blinds and an outdoor awning for my home. Jill and the Pugerudes team were terrific! From the ordering to the updates on delivery to the installation - everything was professional and efficient. I don't know why I put up with those old metal blinds for so long. read more

We just had Pugerudes do all the blinds in our newly remodeled home. We had 46 windows to do. They came out when they said they would to do the quote and 3 weeks later we had installed blinds. They turned out beautiful. We could not be happier and highly recommend Pugerudes. Thank you Jill and Dave. Carol and Kevin B read more

Today I had Dave from Pugerudes come to my house and install a custom drape in my bedroom and a roller shade for a high window in my dining room. I was impressed that both he and his wife mentioned that my drape hardware was in good shape, so it did not have to be replaced. That saved me a lot of money. The quality of the drape, and the ease of ordering and delivery, makes me want to order more window coverings from Pugerudes. read more

We have used this business a number of times for several different types of window coverings/blinds as well as design and upholstery services. They have earned our repeat business each and every time. They do what they say, they do it when they say they will, and at the price they stated, and they are very professional and easy to work with. I wish we could say this about more of the businesses we use! read more

Window coverings are expensive, no matter where you go. That said, you still get what you pay for. Jill, the owner, is extremely helpful, knowledgable about her products, and has a great eye for design. She transformed my new house into a beautiful work of art. And everything that was installed works perfectly: no "close enough" measurements, blinds rubbing on the side, or big light gaps. We have quality coverings that look amazing and will last for many, many years. We had some neighbors go with a different company, They went out of their way to give us Jill's business card, and specifically told us to talk to her first, based on their experiences. No regrets whatsoever for going with Pugerudes. I would recommend them, without reservation, to anyone looking for blinds. Jill will come to your house and give you quality recommendations based on your style, budget, and home factors. If you're in the market, do yourself a favor and call Pugerudes. You'll see the difference in everything they do. read more

I called them for a blind repair, the customer service I got from them is far from even standard customer service. First of all, I get their information from the brand's website as authorized retailer and services. I called them, a girl pick up the phone, I tell her what kind of blinds we have and which part is broken, I asked for a quote, she asked me to bring the blinds in, then I asked how much they charge for restringing and how much they charge if the motor and transmission is broken, then without explaining anything, she was referring me to a local blinds repair guy with an attitude. I am calling you because you guys are "authorized" otherwise I would've just googled "blinds repairs near me"!! Come on, I think any customer service can do better this!! I called other shops and they all answered my questions very professionally and nicely. I would definitely recommend other places if you decide to shop for anything they are selling!!! read more

Pugerude Draperies, We just received our new draperies and custom bedspreads from Pugerudes and they are beautiful. The workmanship is exceptional and the fabrics are lovely. Our Pugerude associate, Jill, suggested the perfect complementary paint for the master bedroom walls, and helped me with the fabric choices. We ordered drapes for three rooms and three bedspreads. They are all perfect. We can recommend Pugerudes to anyone wanting quality workmanship, exceptional fabrics and attention to details. Thanks for all your help. Amy P. read more

I would not recommend Pugerudes for interior design. Their bidding process was unprofessional and took a very long time to complete. They may be great with window coverings, but it would have been better for them to say no to bidding our project (a bid which we had to pay them for) than to say yes and then not follow through. read more

SUMMARY: Pricing- 4 Star. Great value for what we paid (but we paid :D). They're custom and they use mostly higher end blinds / hardware, so they're not going to be cheap. But than again, you get what you pay for. In the end, we felt like we got exactly what we wanted, at a very fair price for the design / materials / shades. Service- 5 star. Only ever worked with Jill and Dave (husband and wife owner's). Really pleased with Jill's design suggestions, advice on shades, etc. Dave did a fantastic job installing. Quoted accurate timeframes and were on time for delivery and install. Products- 5 star. Draperies and valance were really well made, with great fabric selections (we did a silk with a rope trimming) and Hunter Douglas shades. All look great, work great, get lots of compliments so can't complain. Time to Complete- 5 star. Knew when they'd be there, how long the drapes would take, and were kept updated in advance of any appointments and installs. DETAIL: We used Pugerudes shortly after we completed construction of our home in the Graham, WA area on a referral from an interior designer who helped with the furniture and decorating of our home. The house was custom built so there was a lot of non-typical window sizes and layouts and we were baffled by how to do window treatments (we made alot of our own decisions throughout the home building process but what to do with an 8' tall bay window is a bit confusing, especially when you don't want to block the view). Jill visited the house and brought a lot of different samples and fabrics with her. We were impressed by her understanding of what we wanted to achieve and some prompt recommendations based on our other styling selections in the house. The whole process of choosing the drapes, styling, fabrics, and the window treatments was done in home. It took a while, BUT we felt like it was because she was really educating us and making sure we felt comfortable committing to treatments that were going to be semi-permanent. Most of the bid was written up in the house too so before she left, we did have a hard number to look at. We're not the kind to just take one bid though and reached out to a few other places, including a few department stores, and the company currently featured at Costco. I can say that going through extra bids ultimately felt like a waste of time. A lot of the salespeople who showed up at the house either didn't have samples, had incorrect samples, didn't know what their own availability was, etc. Pricing varied quite a bit (some a lot lower than Pugerudes, and some a lot higher), but in the end, Jill's plan was not only our favorite, it "felt" right. It took a few weeks to get the drapes made and all of the window hardware and blinds in (which we knew beforehand), Dave (Jill's husband) was the installer. Everything went in as planned and without a hitch (no missing parts, no problems with the drape measurements, etc). We HAVE recommended them to other people (friends and family) which I guess should tell you something. read more

Its been just over a year since Pugerudes installed blinds throughout my whole house. Do to operator error(me screwing up) one of the blinds got messed up and was not working. I called Jill for help and she didn't hesitate to say they would take care of it and then Dave came from Kent to Kirkland and fixed it for me without a question. Great customer service. read more

Had a great experience in dealing with Pugerudes! Needed to recover our dining room chairs which Pugerudes did an excellent job on! They picked up the chairs and redelivered quickly and professionally. Wide selection of choices and good knowledge as to what materials work the best for our application. Highly recommended! read more

Jill & her team are as good as you could ever want! The helped us pick the right products at the right prices for all of the windows in our home. Fantastic personal service. Communications was clear and delivery and installation was seamless. Really love having quality products delivered by quality people. Thanks! read more

All I can say is, Jill is about the most dynamic and engaging person I've ever done business with. Can't wait to again.

Pugerudes in Kent is an excellent place to purchase windows coverings . I have dealt with Pugerudes for over 15 years. I am always completely satisfied--quality service and installation. read more

If you haven't been to Pugerudes you must go. Great customer service, excellent ideas for my challenging windows and a beautiful showroom. A family owned business for 3 generations, happy to support a long time Kent business. Ask for Jill she will take great care of you! read more

I just moved into my older West Seattle home in July, 2015 with no window coverings at all on any of my six large windows; great for a view of the Sound and Vashon, bad for privacy. After reading many reviews of Pugerudes I called for some ideas. Jill came out, measured precisely, showed me many samples and ideas for maximum sophistication and minimum maintenance and the various cost levels from which I could choose. We came up with some fabulous silhouette shades in the front and dining room and beautiful wood blinds in the master and office. Every day I appreciate them, love them, find them so easy to use and think how wonderful Pugerudes is. They follow-up on their work to make sure everything is satisfactory and have excellent guarantees. The installer, Jeff, is quick, precise, careful and so easy to have in your home. Yes, in all, this is a wonderful company that prides itself in excellence and customer satisfaction. You will have elegance without breaking your budget. read more

My wife and I had a wonderful consultation with Pugerudes. They wear very knowledgeable in their products and we did not know there wear so many options when it came to window treatments. They wear attentive to very detail that we asked about. Give them a call if you are looking for a great way to enhance your windows. Very satisfied...Giorgio and Sue. read more

So I must have came in at a bad time, I see all the good reviews and I'm kinda jealous. When I came in there was no one there to greet me, I thought "They must be in the back doing stuff." So I waited, and eventually heard a couple arguing in the rear area. I heard some rather uncomfortable things being said by a guy who later I realized was one of the owners. After some browsing, waiting to make sure the arguments didn't get out of hand, they came out and made introductions. I didn't buy anything, I was too unnerved. I'd avoid this place, it's kind of scary. read more

We had the pleasure of replacing all of our blinds in our home recently, and after soliciting several bids and talking to different representatives, we chose Pugerudes to install our window treatments. Their sales associate, Jill (who is a co-owner with her husband Dave) was very patient, knowledgeable and easy to work with. We had 24 different blinds, in various sizes, installed through out our entire home. After speaking with Jill, we determined we wanted nothing but Hunter Douglas as the manufacturer of all our blinds. It is important to us that the product come with a lifetime guarantee, and be of high quality. Jill assured us Hunter Douglas was the product to go with, and she was correct. We had only a small glitch in the fit of one blind, and Dave (who came out to view the blinds with Jill) was quick to immediately order and replace the blind. Their installer, Jeff, was extremely courteous and meticulous in his work, as well. Everyone was a pleasure to work with, and overall the entire experience was quick and painless. We would highly recommend Pugerudes to anyone seeking quality workmanship and sound business practices. Pugerudes quotes were reasonable and in line with other estimates, but we preferred the expertise of 50+ years of a family owned and operated business. We LOVE our new look! Thanks, Pugerudes! read more

I put on 3 stars since it seems that higher ratings do not get posted. I personally know Jill & Dave and have used their services in the past. Their products and the service and dedication they provide to their customers are of the highest professional level. I am amazed that the 18 reviews that are not shown are the 14-5 star reviews and 4-4star reviews they have received from actual customers. Only 1 positive review and 2 negative reviews are shown on the top page. Hmmmmm. Makes me question the validity of the "customers" who gave the negative reviews, and also the authenticity of the Yelp posting/review process. I encourage anyone who wants to receive exceptional service from a team that truly "knows their stuff" to use Pugerude's. It is so much more than a drapery business! :) read more

Jill was a pleasure to work with, and the final product looks absolutely beautiful. Excellent install - well done!

I am in the process of moving and was recommended to Jill to assist with draperies and blinds. She came out to my house, measured and I was able to get everything installed very quickly. I appreciated her attention to detail during an otherwise stressful time. read more

Pugerudes is the best upholsterer I have ever found! I have had a lot of custom upholstery work done for me in San Francisco and Seattle. None compare to the beautiful work that Pugerudes has done for me. To date, Pugerudes has reupholstered 3 pieces for me. The work done was just superb. In addition, they repaired an expensive custom rattan blind for me that no one else had been able to figure out how to repair. Jennifer was so helpful, knowledgeable, and fun to work with. This is a 5 star business in a 3 star world. How great is that??? read more

Amazing service and products!! We hired Pugerudes to help us find custom blinds for our new home. They did an amazing job! They worked within our budget, giving us many options to choose from. They were professional, efficient and have impeccable customer service. I have and will continue to highly recommend them to anyone looking for custom window treatments in their home. Thank you Pugerudes!!!! read more

My experience with Pugerudes was stellar. When a cleaning lady did something that tangled one of the blinds -- more than two months after my purchase -- the Pugerudes owner came out to my house right away and did the repair at no charge. No questions asked. The whole experience was friendly, prompt and professional. read more

If you are looking for personalized service and high quality window coverings, I highly recommend Pugerudes. I recently did a complete home remodel, and Jill, one of the owners, not only helped me every step of the way with choosing the right fabrics and coverings for my windows, but she even went with me to the stone company and helped me find granite and tile for my kitchen. I felt like everyone there genuinely cared about me and insured that it was a good experience. What I purchased was expensive, but worth every penny. They completely transformed my home. read more
