I found Made In The Shade through Costco. In the end, I did NOT go with Made In The Shade, but rather Rockwell Shutters (through Home Depot). They have higher quality products, and more affordable prices. I do want to say that Alex and Cyndi were very nice people though. They simply could not beat the products/pricing of Rockwell Shutters. I highly suggest you do your own research and ask lots of questions if you are looking to purchase custom window coverings.

I needed new slats because the puppy decided the best way out was through my vertical blind.

In my case, it was to measure and see the correct color and the wait for the delivery. I popped the slat right in and tada! Good as new! I am grateful that these niche shops are still out there that take care of their customers. To if you need shade, call them. Their quality window treatments, shades and blinds are worth every penny.

With thirty years experience as an installer and repairman for shades, shutters, blinds and other window coverings, Sky is the local expert to contact.

On June 5, 2025, South Texas Draperies (with showroom at 7515 Grissom Road, #103, San Antonio)…read moreprovided a quote to install 19 window shades inside my home. On July 28, 2025, I paid approximately half of the total project cost to get it started. Installation began August 9, 2025. The first pieces were installed improperly, and the installer broke one of our glass window panes. South Texas Draperies said he would deduct the cost of the window replacement from the total bill, and he would find a different installer to complete our project. On August 19, 2025, the other installer fixed some of the improperly installed window shades and suggested how to remedy some of the other improperly installed window shades. I made a second payment to move the project forward, and soon thereafter, the final window shades were installed. However, the blackout shades were not installed properly. On September 16, 2025, the improperly installed blackout shades were fixed except for one end cap that was broken. John said repairing the broken end cap on the blackout shade would be a warranty repair. I called South Texas Draperies to get the schedule for the warranty repair on September 22, September 29, November 4 and November 6, but he did not provide a schedule. On November 18, the installer came to fix the broken end cap, but communications were not clear, so the warranty repair was not performed. On November 25, I informed South Texas Draperies that several of the shades were no longer rolling up and would need to be fixed or replaced. South Texas Draperies did not respond to my calls or text messages. Because some of the shades would not roll up, on December 3, 2025 our painters had to temporarily remove some of the shades so they could paint the windows. South Texas Draperies later claimed that the warranty was voided because the shades had been removed by our painters. On March 23, 2026, I came home to see one of the shades had fallen to the ground. That was the last straw, so I am writing this message to warn others.
