Motorized shades for a sliding door
Danielle H.

Great company to work with and discuss all the potential options for your windows. Pricing was straightforward, and installation was on time, personable and spent the time to explain the care and use of the shades.

Installation

After trying to work with a national store for new window coverings, I discovered that The Yardstick was still active. I remembered them from my childhood in the South Bay. I was able to find a fabric that I liked in the styles I wanted to cover two sets of windows in my main living area. I'm really happy with the end result. The ways it was different from my dealings with the other place were these. I wasn't able to get fabric swatches. I needed to borrow the books with the samples within them, which worked out fine. I was not able to get a rendering of what the window coverings would look like in my space - fabric, type of drape, placement on the wall, etc. This made me ask a lot of questions and I may have come off as very needy, but this was a bigger investment in my home and I wanted to get it right. There was a small issue with the installation which they took care of. Their pricing seemed to be very much in line with the other guys, so no complaints there. The decision to go with The Yardstick was a good one and I am very happy with the results.

We're repeat customers. We first met Patti about 10 years ago when we bought our house and decided…read moreto do our window dressings properly instead of trying to DIY. What a difference. Patti was absolutely fantastic - for the initial consult, she had photos of various window treatments and samples of materials, and helped us choose the right blinds for our house that we enjoyed for years. So when it was time to do some upgrades and replacements, of course we went back to Patti again. Everything was as smooth as it was the first time around, if not better. Patti still had records and measurements for our windows which made re-ordering the blinds a breeze. She was also able to get a large top down bottom up blind that failed replaced on warranty. That saved us enough money to get motorized blinds for our big patio doors that I really wanted and still come in under budget. Completely unexpected and very much appreciated! Install was great: no issues, no problems, quick and easy. Everything was on time, coordinated, fit where it needed to go, and Steve (the installer) was simply the best - considerate, careful, and professional. Highly recommended - our house looks beautiful!

When my dog absolutely destroyed one of my blinds she was prompt with her response as well providing a great solution to the original design being discontinued. When I have had warrantee issues, she dealt with the company directly and made the replacement process absolutely painless. I cannot recommend her enough!
