While visiting an event in La Jolla I came upon a silent auction and saw an item about blinds and put a bid that I was so pleased that I received. The quality and professional service was awesome. Individuals measured and came back to measure again as they wanted a perfect instalment. The instalment was quick and clean with no issues. Our neighbors notice a difference with street curbside looks. David and the staff were perfect for customer satisfaction. read more

We purchased Hunter Douglas Duette cellular blinds from Scot Blinds for 7 windows about 1 year ago - two windows are motorized and 5 are LiteRise cord free. We are very happy with the quality of the blinds. In addition, the installation was done in a few hours and the blinds fit perfectly in the windows. Great customer service and pricing from Dave. He is very knowledgeable about the industry. We would highly recommend Scot Blinds. read more

Professional and straight to the point had my whole house done including a black out for my room.

ChatGPT enthusiastically referred me to Scot Blinds when I was looking for someone in the Imperial Beach area to reinstall my existing valances on new rods. When I called Scot Blinds I spoke with the owner, David, who was exceptionally helpful and very very nice. He explained to me that his company didn't just do repairs and reinstallation, but he gave me a referral to Blind Speed and Sparkle Blinds. I left a message for them. I'm hoping to hear from them tomorrow while I'm in town working on my vacation beach home. I just wanted to make sure that everyone knew that if you're looking for products and installation of that product, David at Scot Blinds would be a really great choice. read more

Dave (owner) and the team at ScotBlinds are simply the best. They hit the trifecta: best quality, best service, best price. I cannot recommend them highly enough, and I will always use them for any project going forward. read more

We met David at the Del Mar fairground. He wasn't pushy, he was professional and polite. We set up an appointment and subsequently purchased a motorized blind from Scotblinds. The install went smoothly and quickly, the two man crew was excellent. Definitely recommend this company and we will probably use them again. read more

So we got about $10,000 worth of blinds and motorized shades in our new build home a year ago. We were quoted and told they would come within 5-6 weeks. Come week 7 no word from them, which to me was already a red flag since good customer service would update you, especially for the price you pay. Within 6 months of having installed one of our motorized shades won't charge at all and is stuck in the same half opened position We tried calling them dozens of times and even left voicemails, still no word from them. As a business owner myself, this is terrible customer service. I would take your hard earned money elsewhere to a business that cares more about their customers! read more

ScotBlinds - Motorized roller shade stopped working within 6 months - Shades & Blinds Near Me

Shop small business!!! My work requires night shift and anyone who works that knows how important sleep is. Good sleep and a dark room are hard to come by working night shift so I reached out to Scot Blinds! After searching Yelp, I was contacted by David. David immediately jumped in feet first, asking all the important questions and ensuring my project could be completed, I have one sliding glass door that lets in ALOT of light. David scheduled time for a consult. Was prompt and polite when showing up and immediately got to work. David provided me a great quote for blackout roller shades that would do the job and at an amazing price! I mentioned wanting to think on it for a little bit and David was not pushy and did not badger me with emails and follow ups, this is such a breath of fresh air! He helped make the decision that much easier. Moving forward payment and confirmation was a breeze and installation was SO FAST and SO CLEAN! I highly recommend Scot Blinds and especially David! He was extremely helpful. read more

ScotBlinds was the only company I called that returned my call quickly. David came out and we discussed what we wanted and would work for our home that we were completely remodeling. He provided us with a free estimate and came when he said he was coming. There were no hidden fees even for installation. David was polite and friendly, he made it easy to trust him. He carries a high quality product. We used several types of window coverings in our home from plantation shutters, drapes on interior glass doors, blackout blinds for bedrooms, shades that provided complete privacy to partial light (Pirouettes) and a panel track for a sliding glass wall. We have now finished our project and I can honestly say of all the contractors, David was the easiest to deal with. I highly recommend ScotBlinds and would definitely use him again. read more

I had the pleasure of meeting Dave who is the owner of this company, with his wife . They did work for us in our home and it was a great job . Two years have gone by and I had a problem with one of the draw strings on the window that they installed, it broke and I couldn't find a replacement at HomeDepot, or on line. I called ScotBlinds and Dave , stop by while on a job to do an estimate in my area he stopped by and not only fixed it and one other issue I had. Spent at least a hour and fixed the problem and my other issue with a smile and no charge. Who does that in this day and age . I would highly recommend ScotBlinds for all of your window treatments, they are quick and reliable and stand behind their products. 5 stars 5 read more

Great customer service and excellent quality for customized blinds at a very reasonable price. The house visit that Alan paid to us to take measurements was delightful. He brought us a whole collection of samples to choose from, helped us made selections, and even offered us a sizable discount due to a promotion the company was having. The blinds installation was done four weeks later, and it was carried out in a very efficient and painless manner. The installers were very polite and professional. When had initially intended to replace two blinds but when we called to set up an appointment we were informed that the company has a minimum order of three. In addition to replacing the old blinds in the living room and in the garage we decided to install vertical blinds in our kitchen. I am glad that we did because we are now greatly enjoying a greater sense of privacy at night. We are staying with Scot Blinds. We plan to call them again to replace blinds in the rest of the house. Scot Blinds has earned our complete trust. read more

Our experience with ScotBlinds was mixed. The ordering process was very pleasant as David and team were very responsive. However, the quality of the shades delivered was much lower than what we were promised. The biggest issue was a shade that is a focal point to the house. It was either mismeasured or constructed incorrectly. The shade is noticeably off center with one side extending 3 inches passed the opening as compared to the other side. Also, the construction of the shade is a lower quality than what was conveyed to us. David explained that it would be a single box valance like the other shades in our house. When delivered the valance was constructed of multiple pieces that were connected by brackets leading to a flimsy design and a break in the middle. The existing shades used as a comparison are a solid wood box valance that is a single unit with no joints or breaks. We were very disappointed with the follow up from ScotBlinds on these issues. We received a thank you note asking us to leave a yelp review if we felt we could provide positive review but the multiple attempts we made to contact ScotBlinds to address these issues remain unanswered. read more

ScotBlinds is Awesome!!! They were referred to me by a friend who had them do her custom blinds and im really happy i decided to go with them. David (ScottBlinds) and Jerry (his installer) are both really good people who provide excellent service. We had a bit of a hassle with our order due to Covid shutting down the factory where my blinds were getting made but David was in constant communication with me. When my order came in separate shipments David made sure i was in the loop and when i could expect it. Jerry had to come out 3 times because things didn't come in on time, but rather than leave me without window covering he made 3 trips to get it done. None of the delays were their fault but they kept me in the loop which as a customer its all i care about. The consistent communication and the commitment to making sure i was satisfied in the end makes it easy to recommend this company. read more

We recently remodeled our house which included replacing all of our windows. We needed window coverings for the whole house. We initially were working with an interior decorating company recommended through our interior designer. We decided to shop around after getting their quote and I'm so glad we did. We contacts ScotBlinds based on the reviews. The minute Alan walked in the door I knew I liked him. We told him what we were considering and he gave us excellent advice that showed us our choices were not the best for our lifestyle, even though he carried those same products and he would have made more money. We're extremely pleased with what we ended up with...and at $5000 - $10000 less than we were looking at with the other company (we had considered powered blinds, which he talked us out of). We went with honeycomb shades and one set of plantation shutters. Our house has remained so comfortable, even with the extreme heat we've been having. We have received a lot of compliments on the window treatments, especially on our sliders. We love how low profile they are when closed. One set is on a French door slider and opens from the middle. The other is on a traditional slider and opens from one side. We did room darkening shades in the bedrooms and our office and the rooms are so dark when they are closed, which is what we wanted. The installation went extremely smooth and the blinds/shutters were expertly installed. One set of friends is now in the process of getting their house done through ScotBlinds. I highly recommend them! read more

David came out on time and efficiently and professionally went through and gave us a thorough bid. First we addressed how hot our east county home gets, especially the West facing rooms. David recommended the perfect tinting for our situation. The crew that came out was professional, efficient and did a great job. After that was complete the blinds were installed. After 25 years with Target curtains (no offense Target, we still love you) that I had hung myself it was wonderful to have professionally installed beautiful window coverings! The crew that came out to install the window coverings was also professional and efficient. My wife and I couldn't be more happy with the results. We have lived with the tinting and window coverings for the last few months now and the difference in the temperature in the home is remarkable. This timeframe includes July-Aug.-Sept (2020) that had some back to back high 90s up to 108 degree days. We are so glad to have made this move when we did! I would definitely recommend ScotBlinds to anyone who wants a great selection of beautiful, quality products installed by a clean, courteous and efficient crew. read more

We highly recommend ScotBlinds if you are in the market for shutters, blinds or window treatments! Alan & Lilian are great people who care SO MUCH about quality, efficiency and making the customer happy. A little background: My husband & I moved into our house 10 years ago. The house had the original Hunter Douglas cellular honeycomb shades from 1998 when the house was built. At this point (21 years later), some of the shades were faded, ripped, stained & some of the cords didn't work. We knew we needed something new, but we weren't sure what to buy. We had done some research on products (shutters vs blinds etc.) and were in the market to hire a vendor, so we looked on Yelp to see reviews on various vendors and noted that ScotBlinds had 71 excellent five-star reviews. Shortly after, when we went to the Carlsbad Street Faire, saw Alan at the ScotBlinds booth, spoke with him about the products & heard his passion for quality & customer service, learned that all of the products are made in the USA, we were interested. We gave Alan our contact information and shortly after, he contacted us regarding our project. We were very impressed with his knowledge, punctuality, friendliness, level of patience & attention to detail. He brought lots of samples of various products since we didn't know exactly what we wanted. We like the look of shutters, but were concerned that they would block our views. Alan listened carefully explaining that the 4 1/2-inch shutters would not block our views and would look great in our windows. When he demonstrated that with a sample in our windows, my husband & I decided to go ahead and order white shutters for the entire house (24 shutters) with 6 of them being complicated "Eyebrow" arched windows. The next step was to set up an appointment to do the measuring. They showed up right on time and were very efficient & professional. When the shutters were ready to be installed, the process happened very quickly. We were amazed at how efficient the installers were! They split the installation into two visits putting in most of the regular window shutters on the first visit with the more complicated upper eyebrow arch window shutters, patio French door shutters & kitchen window shutters going in on the next visit. Rick & Patrick made sure that we were super happy with every detail of the installation process. The result was AMAZING! We knew it was going to be a major improvement from what we had before, but we didn't expect the following benefits: 1) It is SO much quicker to pivot the shutters open than it was to pull the string (hand over hand) to open the old shades. 2) When the shutters are in the closed position (when we leave the house), it keeps the house so much cooler in the summer, so our electric bill is cheaper. 3) when the shutters are in the closed position, it makes it easier to sleep in on the weekends as it makes the bedroom darker than it was before (with all of the light coming in the the old shades). 4) The shutters look just as beautiful looking at them from the inside of the house as they do looking at them from the outside of the house. The process from start to finish was efficient, smooth & it could not have gone any better! Do yourself a favor & hire ScotBlinds. You will find yourself writing a glowing review like we just did & so many happy customers before us!! read more

Scotblinds was absolutely wonderful. David was very responsive, talked us through the entire process and made it very simple. Our blinds came in sooner than we expected!! The quality was really great and the price was very reasonable! Thank you Dave for such a great experience! read more

ScotBlinds provides top notch service! While we were in the process of getting our home repainted, my wife and I decided we needed to remove the old white faux wood blinds that were in the house. So we went out onto Yelp to looking for Drapery and Blind installation companies, and we came across the awesome reviews of Scot Blinds. We placed a call to ScotBlinds and a received a pleasant welcome from Lillian who graciously and quickly setup a consultation appointment. Alan arrived for our consultation. We explained what we were trying to accomplish, he took his time to show us different examples and explain the pros and cons to each according to our needs. After which, my wife and I decided on two types of blinds to fit throughout the home. Alan took the measurements and showed us the pricing. In the past, I had one encounter years ago with another local Drapery and Blind installation company. Thus, I knew that that the price difference from shopping at a Bed Bath & Beyond vs. going custom with a company like Scot Blinds would not be comparable; yet I was still a little sticker shocked. However, my wife loved this blind arrangement, and admittedly I did too! We agreed to make the purchase. The blinds arrived in three weeks, and were installed in approximately 30 minutes from a very professional crew. After the blinds were installed, all of our reservations about the cost had gone away. The blinds look so gorgeous in our home. So much so that we ordered more of the same blinds for our sliding glass doors. We want to give a big thank you to Alan and Lillian for bringing back the the true art form of "top notch service." I highly recommend their services. read more

Lillian from Scot BLINDS is amazing. The sliding patio door blind a flat panel track is my favorite and one of their very own that they manufacture here in the United States. I just ordered a set for my home after I watched her demonstrate them for three days at the Del Mar home show. They are reasonably priced, well made and look like they will last a lifetime because the slider on them is a simple mechanism. Her engineer partner and husband has designed these blinds because of their longevity and price point to service his customers when he needed a product to replace some pre-existing big-name blinds that just were not lasting. Our customers from our business referred us to Lillian so she could create custom blinds for our homes. There's nothing like a word-of-mouth referral so call Lillian today. 619-271-5601 Scotblinds.com read more

This review is a little late in coming, but I just remembered to review as I just redeemed the Starbucks gift card ScotBlinds sent me as a thank-you for being their customer... I went to the Home Show in San Diego at the Convention Center in January 2020 (pre-Covid times, when they had such shows). I was literally MOBBED by nearly every single vendor there - it was definitely a running-the-gauntlet experience and was not pleasant. The only vendor who was not overly aggressive was David at ScotBlinds. I was able to approach his booth on my own and when I did he was friendly and knowledgeable but not in-your-face. He had a variety of different window treatments on display and I got to experiment with how they handle. Then and there, I made an appointment with him to come out to the house for window treatments, as we had just gotten new windows. David helped our family to select the right type of treatment for each window - we went with pleated shades for most, some with the top-down-bottom-up option, some with magnetic clip and some with drawcord (depending on if there's furniture in front of the window), and a couple of the new-style combination roller blinds (these are great!). David also has window shutters and vertical blinds available, as well as Roman shades. Very happy with our choices, and Jerry the installer was very knowledgeable and efficient too. And lastly, we got a personal thank-you note from Jamaica thanking us for our patronage, and I just enjoyed my Starbucks latte! Thanks, ScotBlinds! P.S. Recommend a daytime appointment. A little hard to decide on the literally hundreds of subtle shades of pleated shade available, and natural light would have been easier. (Still, made great choices with David's help!) read more

We recently had blinds installed in our entire house by Scotblinds. We were very happy with the whole team, including David who came to our home to help us select blinds, Jamaica in the office, and the two gentlemen who came to install everything. David truly seemed to care about helping us blinds that would meet our needs and fit our budget. It was clear he has a lot of experience and was able to help us when we struggled to pick just the right colors/styles. The installers were quick and efficient and communicated well on when they would be coming. They made sure we were happy with the blinds before we left and gave suggestions for ensuring the blinds would continue to look good over time. We are very happy with our new blinds and highly recommend the Scotblinds team! read more

They came out twice to show me samples and were very nice and friendly. Explained everything to me in detail. Install was super quick. Love my new blinds. Very good quality and gave me a yelp discount. Thanks guys. read more

David was great and provided plenty of options for different budgets. Did not pressure us to buy after his consultation, instead was honest and let us know he was ready when we were. His install team did great and even came back out after a chain broke on one of the blinds. Always responsive and ensured we had a 5 star experience. read more

Great service, always professional and accommodating. From swe've used them on 2 homes so far. Update: we are using ScotBlinds a third time in our new home for all windows and sliding doors. Still as friendly, professional and accommodating as before. read more

I called a few top rated blind companies on yelp to put blinds on two recently purchased homes. I got bad vibes from the other companies for one reason or another. No callbacks, no one in office answering phones during business hours, ect. Unfortunately I assume the worst and figure if the simple things can't be handled, who knows what's in store. I called Scotblinds and it went smoothly throughout the entire process. Alan arrived at my home on time for the quote and was polite and friendly. He presented me with the quotes and even though I had my poker face on.. I was floored at how low the quote was (I was expecting the top rated company on Yelp would come with a heavy premium). I handed my credit card to Alan on the spot and gave him the go ahead. A few weeks later the blinds were installed and they are immaculate. Absolute perfection. I just don't see why someone would go with any other company for their blinds. read more

Stellar customer service, extremely professional and friendly! Reliable and top quality. Beyond grateful to have met Alan and his crew. We are beyond pleased with our shutters and blinds. No need to go anywhere else! read more

I have now used this business in two homes. Both experiences have been nothing short of stellar. Alan is knowledgeable, courteous, and reliable. Their pricing is very competitive and the final product is exactly as I expected. I will never use another company when it comes to window coverings in my home. I have confidently recommended this business to family and friends because I know they will not be disappointed! read more

LOVE our new blinds! Alan and Lilian are great, kind and understanding people that run a really awesome Company! They understood our needs, gave us great options and followed through till the end! I will never go back to the plastic slatted blinds ever again! What a world of difference our purchase had made to designing our home! LOVED the whole experience! Thank you Alan & Lilian! I will recommend Scotblinds to everyone! read more

We chose Scotblinds because of the great reviews. Had just purchased a brand new house and needed blinds for 39 windows. Alan came over, did his spiel, and we chose Hunter Douglas Silhouette blinds. The price tag was $31,000.00, very expensive, but we were assured that the end result would be worth it, Hunter Douglas being the industry top choice. We did receive our blinds in a timely fashion (the only positive), however, that's also when all the trouble started. The blinds were incorrectly installed/measured, so there were gaps both on the top and sides of the blinds. The gap above of the blinds was fixed after a couple of weeks. They also remeasured the blinds and tried fixing some of them. The end result - 15 out of 39 blinds are still not completely covering our windows. Scotblinds claims there's nothing they can do. Here's a photo for you - if the blind on the right is the look you want, Scotblinds is your choice - gaps and all. read more

I was really happy with the process of choosing my blinds and with the installation, however the mechanism in one of them broke recently and when I called to ask for help with the issue I was told that the blind could only have failed due to user error and that I would have to find a repair solution on my own. This was without ever coming in to see the blind for evaluation...so much for a lifetime warranty. Consider shopping elsewhere. read more

Alan came the same day I called for an estimate and gave me a competitive price. He was very gentle and explored options with me. The shutters took 3 weeks to be made and the installation was super fast, not even 30 min. I am very pleased with our shutters. They darken the room, give me an extra hour of sleep, reduce noise, mantain the room temperature and look beautiful. I absolutely recommend this business. Also their shutters are made in the USA. read more

Excellent product and service, we ordered roll-up sun shades in our office and are overall very satisfied.

Love scotblinds! Look no further, this company is absolutely amazing, especially Alan. He's so sweet and helpful, and extremely patient. We had him come Out to our house more than once, and he was always so happy to do so. Our roman shades look phenomenal. Everything is done as promised. Thank you Alan! read more

This review is from my parents, Robert and Teresa C., who do not have a yelp account: Friends of ours recommended Scot Blinds. The wood blinds we ordered are amazing and give our home a new and modern look. Alan was professional and gave us his honest recommendations on what color blinds would look good. His installer installed them quickly and was just as professional. We would recommend Sco tBlinds to all of our friends and family! read more

Alan and Lilian have a great business. They provided excellent and professional customer service. Everything they promised was delivered, price, timing, service. They were recommended to me by my boss. In addition, I know one of their personal friends from the "old country." Their prices are competitive. I did check with another place and they beat them hands down. Their installers were also friendly and professional. They completed the work on the same day, again as promised, and they were very thorough. I highly recommend this business. I purchased blinds for my first floor and all windows at the front of the house. I'll be calling them again to complete the rest of my house in the next several months. read more

David did a great job helping me to select elegant vertical blinds for my sliding glass door. Efficient and professional service.

Our first experience was excellent. Our second experience was not good. It was our fault. We hastily agreed to the price which in comparison was about triple the price of our first purchase. Be careful when working with them. read more

Finally! My condo windows are now entirely and beautifully shuttered, thanks to the wonderful ScotBlinds! A quality product that is very competitively prices ... done professionally, quickly and with extreme level of customer service. Alan, Lilian and installer Jerry are simply the best.

If you're looking for window coverings, especially shutters, do not hesitate. Call ScotBlinds! read more
