Had a great experience with this company. We needed to replace the sheer drapes in our master…read morebedroom, and replace the lining of the drapes in our family room (they were sun damaged and we did not know relining them was an option). Aleksandra was great. It was easy to set up an appointment with her, was punctual, she was very knowledgeable about providing options for us, very professional, and gave us a very competitive quote. Tony removed the drapes in our family room and came back later to install the new/relined drapes. He obviously has a lot of experience with this, worked very quickly, and was also very professional. Most importantly we are very happy with the result.

We used Bay Area Window for four skylight shades…read more Design (Aleksandra): 5/5 Aleksandra was communicative and responsive throughout the process. She provided meaningful options and we are happy with the design. We discussed with Aleksandra that we wanted the shades installed as close to our skylights as possible, and she confirmed with the installer that that was possible. Install (David): 2/5 We did a walkthrough with David and again explained that we wanted the shades as close to our skylights as possible. He asked, and we told him, that we also wanted the solar recharging panels to be on the side where the shade collected when opened (so the panels would be less visible). To be fair, David warned us that he would likely scratch the walls and may leave gaps because the coverage around our skylights was uneven. Both of those came to pass (which I am separately fixing), but that is not why we are unhappy with the install. Rather: - Despite the fact our ceiling is flat and our skylights are flat, David installed the shades at a slight angle. When I confronted him about it, he stated he was trying to follow the wall around the skylight. I disagree that his approach accomplished that. In any event, if there were options as to how the shades were going to be installed, we believe David should have conferred with us before unilaterally making a decision. - David also installed the solar panels on the opposite side of where we discussed. David stated he had no recollection of our prior conversation. We disagree that we never discussed this, but as above, if there were options, we believe David should have checked with us before installing. After confronting David about the shade with the most severe angle he begrudgingly reinstalled it (photos attached). Aleksandra did offer a partial refund and offered to have David come back out and reinstall the shade. However, we do not have the availability to monitor David the entire time he is here, which appears to be the only way to ensure things are done as we discussed. Additionally, the 3 of the 4 corner covers have fallen from the shade that David reinstalled and we do not relish the same thing happening to the other shades. The upshot is Aleksandra is easy to work with, but if you get David to do your install you may want to supervise his work.

Update to owners reply: There's definitely something wrong with your business? I got another company that was very upfront and got all 10 blinds done for less than half of what you charge and your girl on the phone was trying to talk me out of it more than talk me into it. So that's a big red flag!! I could buy all new blinds for the price you charge for cleaning them, but there was always a response. We probably can't clean them??

I had a great experience with Budget Blinds. I actually ordered from them 17 years ago and most of…read morethe fabric blinds are still in good shape. Unfortunately, our largest blind pull string broke from frequent use and I was told that those type of cords are now banned so I cannot fix it. I worked with David and he was very helpful. He was able to find me a color that matches really well with the old blinds since the previous color was no longer available. He was also able to get me a good price that was comparable/slightly better than what I could get elsewhere. Since I still have the blinds purchased from them for over 17 years, I can attest that the quality is good. It did take some time to get the quote and then wait for the blinds to be custom made and installed but since I wasn't in a rush, the timing was fine with me. The install company that works with Budget Blinds was also easy to work with. During the install, we realized they put the wrong length cord on one of the blinds but they were able to fix it within a week or so. All in all, we are happy with the new blinds.

We're located in San Jose and received several quotes for 23 windows, but the prices elsewhere were shockingly high. After finding Blind Ambition through Reddit, we decided to take a chance and give them a call--and we are so glad we did. From the very beginning, Mark and Darryl were patient, knowledgeable, and genuinely invested in helping us make the right decisions. Because of our busy work schedules, we couldn't visit during the weekdays, yet they went above and beyond by opening on the weekend to accommodate us. They carefully walked us through the Hunter Douglas options and drapery selections, answered all of our questions, and even provided samples for us to take home, which made a huge difference. They also offered us truly unbeatable pricing and discounts, which made the project feasible for us. After placing the order, they continued to provide outstanding service--keeping us informed on shipping timelines, coordinating directly with the installer, and handling every detail seamlessly. When one of the blinds arrived faulty, they immediately took care of it by contacting the manufacturer on our behalf, making the issue completely stress-free for us. What truly sets Mark and Darryl apart is how much they care. They treated us like family and delivered the true meaning of customer service--something that is rare these days. We wholeheartedly recommend Blind Ambition to our friends and family and will absolutely be returning customers for future projects.

Catherine was the designer who came out to my house with fabric swatches and I chose what blind material, color and style I wanted. She was very professional, friendly and gave me an extremely accurate timeline. AJ came to take measurements and then was the installer when installation day came. He was very professional, detail oriented and friendly. I am over the moon with these blinds! Feels like Christmas came early! And the price was accurate to what I was expecting for high quality custom roller blinds. A good investment for the aesthetics of the home. I chose a jute/poly blend for a more natural look that still allows you to see trees outside. Still provides good privacy for the house as well. They look simply amazing. Everything was a superior 5 star experience. Catherine and AJ both created a professional yet approachable atmosphere. Thank you!

Then at the HMB Pumpkin Festival this past October Bay Home & Window had a booth. We stopped, talked, and make an appointment for a consultant to come out.

Based on our needs she made recommendations which we concurred with. Measurements were taken and an order was placed. We paid 1/2 advance. Over the next two month projected timeframe we received email updates. When our product arrived to the warehouse we received a call for installation date.

We hired a general contractor and agreed to use all of their selected subcontractors except for a small subset we insisted on selecting ourselves, including High Tech Screens & Shades. We thankfully discovered High Tech Screens via online searches, and validated them through our Windows & Doors subcontractor/reseller. (we installed the highest end Marvin Ultimates and Marvin Moderns throughout our project) High Tech (Josh and Justin) arrived as scheduled, and always on time. They assessed and installed custom screens on four of our doors, including two outswinging french doors (2 screens on each), and two single outswinging doors. High Tech's attention to detail and quality work is notable. The finishes match our door trim as desired. The function of the screens are excellent, and the screens "hide-away" from view when not in use / retracted. Further, High Tech's screens and craftsmanship are so good that we unfortunately had a worker inadvertently walk through one of them after installation (the installation was so clean he didn't see the screen). Josh and Justin found time to return to the site within 48 hours and repair the screen so that it works like new. We cannot recommend highly enough High Tech Screens & Shades. If you are looking for a professional job/installation for screens for a high-end home, they are the truly the only firm you need to consider.
