Original service was ok. Receipt of blinds took much longer than promised. Here we are just 3 years later and one of the front facing blinds is SAGGING! We are two 70 something adults , no kids, no pets and oh so fussy and careful. Called to have someone come out. Charge is $150!!! OMG. Money we do not have. Here we are with a crappy looking blind sagging out the front window. It will remain closed until we are carried out feet first. I'm sick. Don't count on the Blind Guy for blinds/service. Check elsewhere. Thoroughly. read more

Mark is Amazing and goes above and beyond for his clients. I purchased complete shutters for my entire home, needed some replacement parts and he was "on it" to help! Can't thank him enough and would refer anyone to him for window covering services. He's the BEST ‼ read more

It is with great disappointment I need to write this 1 star review, my experience with this company is so disheartening, I want to save you all from experiencing them. Because of the lengthy, bad experiences with this company, my review was too long to post and is now rewritten. I will try to capture the essence of how poorly this company does business. On Dec 12, 2024 I asked The Blind Guy to provide me with 8 window coverings, 1 slider covering and 2 door coverings with install. As of this day, June 2, 2025, I still do not have my order. The quote Chris provided was so illegible, I asked him to provide me with something I could decipher & read. Chris agreed to send me a typed quote via my email. I am still waiting. I was quoted a 4 week lead-time (this I wrote on the quote myself), my waiting has far surpassed 4 weeks. Per Chris, one of my window coverings was manufactured incorrectly sized -- I am still waiting on that window covering. The 2 coverings for the door were ordered without a coord draw system, I am still waiting on those door coverings. Coverings were sent to Chris in the wrong color, I am still waiting for my entire order. Not a single covering was manufactured correctly. On March 27 I was told by Chris that the correctly colored material I ordered was in stock. Chris text me that he ordered all of my coverings in the correct material, fixed the incorrect size & would provide door coverings w/ a cord draw system. Chris texted that I can expect my coverings to be installed in 3 weeks. I did not hear from Chris until May 26, when I reached out to him asking where my order was. Chris reminded me it was a holiday. On May 29 I reached out to Chris again, asking where my order was. Chris responded, my material was backordered. That's odd, considering on March 27 Chris told me he ordered my coverings. Chris proceeded to tell me he had ordered a material replacement sample that he wanted to show me on Monday or that we can look at some other materials that I can pick out. It was at this point I asked for a refund. I had given The Blind Guy a deposit for my window coverings on Dec 12 and it is now more then 5.5 months, Chris has been dishonest in telling me that an order was placed, when it was not placed, Chris has allowed me to wait on products I believed were on the way, Chris provided me an illegible quote for products that don't even exist. Today is June 2, which is 5 days from the day I requested refund....I have no refund = approx $3000. Chris, as a medical provider that works with hundreds of coworkers & families across the greater Sacramento area, every one of them will hear about my experiences with The Blind Guy. I work extremely hard & I am of service to our community, I am trusted. That may not influence your business dealings, but it will influence many others. I want a refund. read more

We have used The Blind Guy twice for blinds in our home. The first time, we were looking for window coverings for the family/living and dining area. Mark Drennan is very knowledgeable and helped us make the perfect selection for our needs. We purchased the dual shades and absolutely LOVE them; so much so that we called Mark back to order for the rest of the house. They look very stylish and the product is well made. Install was completed within the estimated timeframe and the installer was very polite, thorough and took away all the old blinds. You cannot go wrong when working with Mark and this company. Will be using them for all our window covering needs. Highly recommend !!! read more

I hired Brad to take down and re-install the shutters in our entire home and I am very happy with the results. He was very professional, friendly, and did an amazing job with the take down and re-install at a very reasonable price. I really appreciated how flexible he was with our schedule and timing availability, since we had very specific dates to get this project done. He has great attention to detail and the shutters honestly look even better now, than when they were originally installed. I would highly recommend and will reach out with any other projects in the future. Thanks! read more

The Blind Guy - New sliding patio plantation shutter door. - Shades & Blinds Near Me - Rocklin, California

I filled out an interest form online and quickly got a call back from Chris to schedule an in-person estimate on a Sunday which was nice. However, once we saw the price of the estimate and told Chris we wanted to shop around for estimates before we decided on going forward his demeanor changed from friendly and joking to almost annoyed. He said he would get us an email estimate because his handwriting probably wasn't the easiest to read and once he left he sent a thank you text for meeting on a Sunday which I responded to thanking him for coming out on a Sunday as well. All very professional until he literally ghosted us and never replied to my follow up text message about the email estimate that never arrived. He definitely had my email because he confirmed my contact information on our initial phone call and through the interest form. We ended up going with another company because I wasn't trying to chase down a company that literally ignores you because you don't want to sign a check right away. Which Chris mentioned was the range of customers he got, the ones who say "I'll call you back" for a $600 estimate and those that say "So do you take card or check" for a 5 K estimate. Very weird topic of conversation to bring up during a consultation but we were going to consider them if the price was fair. read more

We purchased two large automated roller blinds for our sun room several years ago - we are very pleased with them! Based on the exceptional service we received at that time we recently reconnected with Brad and his team to attain an estimate for shudders for the remaining seven windows in the house. Mark arrived as scheduled to provide an estimate, walk us through the many pros-and-cons of the various shudder types, and review samples. We received, based on previous research, a fair-market-price for the project and decided to move forward. Revina (a very courteous and professional individual) coordinated the install and purchase of the shudders, and Brad performed the installation himself. Everything went seamlessly. Once again, we received professional, honest, quality service and we are very happy with the outcome(s). Thank you Brad and Team - nicely done! read more

The blinds have now been installed, and we received a discount for the delay. I appreciate the final follow through. Chris was great to work with and helped get everything completed. read more

Mike Shepherd and Chris are amazing to work with at The Blind Guy. We had blinds installed a couple of months ago and we absolutely love them in our home. The entire process of getting a quote to having the blinds installed was turnkey and so easy. I also have to give a huge shout out to Mike for going above and beyond after swinging by my rental home to fix one of the blinds that wasn't working on short notice (and my fence gate latch!). I was blown away by the customer service and kindness extended. I plan to use The Blind Guy for all future blind needs. I can't say enough good things. Thank you again! read more

I keep using them and 100% satisfied. Everyone I refer them to thanks me, it's all "The Blind Guy" Their staff is over and above non scripted human connection customer satisfied service. They come back when things break (fault of husband no quality lol) I recommend them over and over with more stars than any others read more

New to the area our realtor referred us to The Blind Guy for our window coverings. Mark was very thorough, knowledgeable, and professional. Prompt and easy to work with from the initial walk-through of our home to the many options and installation. The installation was swift and seamless, working remotely without disruption was great! and the shutters are absolutely beautiful. read more

Chris came out to give us a bid on 11-8-21 for shutters throughout our new home.  He had a great bid & we used The Blind Guy in 2005 to put shutters in our previous home.  They even helped us with a warranty issue where shutters in our garage had sun damage.   We went with Chris & The Blind Guy for shutters at our new home.  Chris placed the order right away & the first order was installed on 12-13-21.  The two guys worked hard from approximately 0900 to 1730 hours. Not sure if they even took a lunch break as they were hustling to get the shutters installed on 28 windows & doors.  Unfortunately, they drilled too close to the window on one of our Andersen Patio Doors.  They felt so bad & we were understanding, knowing that things happen.   We were in contact with Chris to figure out how to get the glass replaced with a local vendor.  Unfortunately, the one vendor could not guarantee the glass color would match the other door (French Doors).  We ended up placing an order with Andersen as it appeared no one else in our area could repair it. We placed an order with Andersen.  They lost the first panel somewhere between Minnesota & the Sacramento area.  I went around & around with Andersen.  Finally emailed their executive team & someone was kept an eye on our shipment.  The new patio door was installed on 3-14-22. After the new patio door was installed, I called The Blind Guy & they scheduled us for installation of our second order of five windows & doors as well as the shutter on the patio door in the kitchen where the Andersen panel was replaced. Chris came out with another guy & installed the second order as well as the shutter for the patio door which was replaced for a total of 33 windows & doors. At the end of the day, Chris helped us figure out the best way to get our window repaired and compensated us for the fees associated with the new panel & installation.  Would recommend Chris & his team for quality window coverings, great pricing as well as overcoming adversity when things happened! read more

The Blind Guy was our 2nd quote for blinds and drapery and from the moment my husband and I met Chris, we decided to go with his business. Besides being knowledgeable in his products, Chris was friendly, easygoing, and convenient to work with. What sold us about deciding to go with him was not only his positive energy and fair price but the fact that he offered temporary shades. Before his temporary shades, we were using t-shirts, blankets and bed sheets to try and cover up the windows for privacy which was very tacky and did not last long. The Blind Guy came to the rescue and we would definitely work with this company again! read more

Today, I had my shutters installed in my home. They turned out absolutely gorgeous! Better than I could've expected and worth every penny I spent. From the start of my interactions with the Blind Guy, I knew I was in good hands. During my estimate appointment, Brad explained everything and had me in and out so quickly! They also stuck to their estimated time frame & came to install them today. They turned out so lovely and changed the whole way my house looks. Highly recommend them! read more

Our neighbor referred us to The Blind Guy as they were happy with work. I couldn't agree more we are so happy with the blinds Chris K. in sales suggested would work well in our home. Thank you, Chris! They keep us well informed and told us right up front because of supply chain issues (no fault of theirs) that it would take a few weeks to get them installed. Having some patience paid off with the end result. The installer Gabriel E. did an excellent job for us and was very respectable and on time. This company is very fortunate to have a good worker like him, top notch! Thank you again, Gabriel! Our experience couldn't have been better, and I would highly recommend The Blind Guy vendor, Chris K. sales and Gabriel E. for your home install. Ken read more

I contacted the Blind Guy to get an estimate on Hunter Douglas shutters. Brad, the owner, arrived promptly, and began measuring my windows. After measurements were taken he lead me through the different options for shutter and trim sizes. He provided valuable advice on what options were best for the layout of my windows. I found Brad to be very personable, and a font of knowledgeable to help make my choices. Brad even gave me his cellphone number for any questions I might have. In terms of price the Blind Guy was in line with the other estimates that I received. They were not the most expensive, nor the cheapest, but the experience with Brad gave me a good feeling about them. After I placed my order with the Blind Guys they gave me a timeline and I paid my deposit. Due to COVID, the manufacturer was running behind and the initial timeline had to be extended. It took a few phone calls to their office to get the info, but Brad got things straightened out for me. On the install date, Brad and Chris arrived earlier than expected. They gave me a call and asked if that was okay with me. I let them know that I was still at work and they told me that wouldn't be a problem and would start assembling the shutters to prepare for install. When I arrived home they came in, exchanged some pleasantries, and then got right to work. I was amazed with how quickly they were able to install the shutters. Brad and Chris installed my 14 shutters in around an hours time. As they installed they cleaned up their mess, and cracked jokes with myself and my wife. At the end, they walked me through to examine their work, which was of the highest quality, and made sure I was happy. It's now been 6 months since my shutters have been installed and they work flawlessly and look great. Just recently I had a question about caulking the trim around my shutters and texted Brad. He responded immediately with an answer. Overall, I couldn't be more happy with my experience with Brad and the Blind Guy team. They were a pleasure to work with and did an amazing job installing my shutters from start to finish. Thank you Brad and the Blind Guy crew. read more

The in home sales call was efficient, professional and very helpful. Not rushed or pressured at all. The product we picked out was explained well and was one of a few good options. He had samples to show, which really helped. Now, in the appropriate timeframe, the product is installed and it looks super! Highly recommend using The Blind Guy..... read more

We just purchased a new house and after getting 3 other quotes, we opted to use The Blind Guy to put in blinds for the whole house. The experience was good and we felt well taken care of through the entire process. We have had the blinds for about 1 month and so far we are really happy with them! Sales: We were referred to Mark from our builder. After contacting him initially, it took him about 2 weeks to get back to us on scheduling a visit for a quote. We almost opted to go with someone else because of this delay. However, once he did respond he was super quick and helpful. The next day he was out and measuring and he got back to us with a quote in practically no time. He actually took the time to explain how they carry blinds from different manufacturers and how they all differ in price and quality. He was also super helpful in terms of deciding which color, cord length, valence, etc would look best in our home and based on our style. We really appreciated all of his honesty and felt like he was looking out for our best interests. Initially, the prices seemed higher than other quotes we had, but he was able to negotiate quite a bit down on the cost. In the end, we choose to go with Alta Blinds at 2.5inch blinds for about the same cost we were quoted for 2inch blinds (of a different brand) at another company. They were also able to get our blinds in and installed in about 4 weeks vs the 12-16 weeks we were quoted everywhere else. Installation: The install guys were incredible. They were right on time and done in under 2 hours. They were also so clean and careful with their work! I was so appreciative of the way they handle themselves. They took their shoes off when leaving and entering without even being asked! We didn't have to clean up after them at all. When they were done, everything looked incredible. So far, we are very happy with our blinds and the decision to go with The Blind Guy! read more

Didn't really get to use his services. We had a blind that the strings to raise and lower broke and I thought I'd check how much $$ to get it repaired. He couldn't do it because he wasn't familiar with whatever brand we had, but he was prompt on getting back to me a couple times and gave me a ballpark estimate in case we might find someone to repair it for us. Customer service is where this business thrives I'd bet, just based on my little contact with it and him. Highly recommended just on that alone. read more

Used The Blind Guy for fitting some blinds on a brand new house and I was not disappointed! The phone was answered promptly and a consulting appointment scheduled. Chris was excellent. Polite, patient and clearly very knowledgeable. He brought a range of samples and was able to help me pick out the best blinds for my house. Within a few weeks I got a call indicating the custom blinds were ready for fitting. Once again, the fitting was quick, efficient and I have no hesitation recommending this company. I have waited a few weeks before posting this review and can happily say that all blinds are working perfectly. I will certainly be using The Blind Guy in future and cannot speak highly enough about Chris. read more

We were looking to install blinds on our very large custom slider doors, and after many quotes and home visits, The Blind Guy by far was the most helpful, offered something other than the super overpriced Hunter Douglas brand, best price and quickest manufacturing. They were also the only ones who offered a pull down blind - everyone else only had chorded or electronic! Would highly recommend! read more

Great consult given. We got 3inch shutters for total of eight windows. Product is quality, lasting, and efficient.

Thanks for a great experience! Highly recommend! read more
