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.

I found JMK Shutters when I was searching on Yelp about a year and half ago. Rommel came to our…read moreplace to measure the windows and gave us the estimate. At the time we were doing remodeling of our home so we couldn't have them install the shutters right away. They were very accommodating with our time frame. When they installed the shutters, they all looked beautiful! They did fantastic job with installing them. Highly recommend this place if you're looking for shutters to be installed at your place. We think the pricing was fair as well. I don't remember pricing though but I do remember that my parents thought it was fair value. I totally forgot about them until my mom asked me last night because her friend wanted to get shutters installed so my mom asked me to find this place's info to send to her friend. :)

The previous owner of our home worked with JMK Shutters for the cellular shades installed in the…read morebedrooms. We were interested in changing them out for motorized shades and Rommel came out to our home for the consultation. He explained that the original cellular shades could not be retro-fitted to be motorized, so we would have to buy new sets. No problem - and totally understandable! Rommel was very patient and thorough with his explanation of why and working with us to understand our project. We ended up purchasing four sets of shades for our primary bedroom to cover two large windows with a two-layer, motorized system of black-out and light-filtering cellular shades. Rommel's installation team (Rene and Martin) were amazing - super fast, diligent, and competent! They also moved the original set of cellular shades we had to our living room, which meant we didn't lose them after all! They also updated the cord pulls for the original set, which we appreciated. The motorized shades have been such a wonderful addition to our master bedroom! We love the total darkness it provides for sleeping in -- and the automatic scheduler to lower / raise the shades as well has proven very convenient. We are VERY pleased with this upgrade. Overall, JMK Shutters offers a comprehensive, customer-first experience. Their team is knowledgeable, competent, and on-time. We have only good things to say about Rommel, Rene, and Martin and would consider them again for future work.

Excellent Service from Start to Finish -- Highly Recommended!…read more I had a wonderful experience with iHomeShutters Inc. from beginning to end! David, who came to provide the estimate, was extremely friendly, professional, and very knowledgeable about the products. He patiently explained everything, and the quoted price was very reasonable. The shutters were delivered right on schedule, and the installation was just as impressive! Yeyo, our installer, was such a friendly, enthusiastic, and hardworking young man. He completed the installation quickly, efficiently, and flawlessly. His attention to detail was outstanding! And here's the best part -- even my daughter, who is extremely picky and has very high standards, was absolutely thrilled with the results! That says a lot! We couldn't be happier with the beautiful shutters and the entire experience. A big thank you to David, Yeyo, and the iHomeShutters team for a job exceptionally well done! I highly recommend iHomeShutters Inc. to anyone looking for quality shutters, reasonable pricing, and excellent customer service!

I recently remodeled my house and was looking for window shades. I've loved the zebra shade look…read morefor a long time. I first checked with Home Depot and other companies, but their prices were over my budget. I found iHomeShutters on Yelp and sent an inquiry. David got back to me immediately and we scheduled an appointment. He arrived on time to take measurements, showed me different shade options, and explained the pros and cons of zebra shades in detail. David suggested doing motorized for the big window because it's too large for manual, and it turned out beautifully. I ended up choosing zebra shades, motorized for the large windows and manual for the rest. The shades arrived a week earlier than expected. On installation day, Yeyo showed up early and installed all 12 windows super fast. He also cleaned up afterward. All the shades turned out beautifully. I'm a very happy customer and highly recommend iHomeShutters to everyone.

Aida and Ali are a great team! From first consultation to new blind/shades installed, the entire…read moreprocess took a little over three weeks. Aida is very professional and never tried to upsell us what we didn't need. Ali did a great job with installation. He was fast, courteous and left our property in great shape, even filling in the old holes in the walls and took all the old drapes/shades away. I highly recommend this business.

I requested a quote for a whole-house project including more than 15 motorized shades. Icy was very…read moreresponsive at first and asked me to provide detailed window measurements, photos, and other information, which took quite a bit of time to prepare. The owner, Aida, then reached out and asked for more details about our needs, which I provided. After that, communication stopped. We were told she was dealing with family matters and might be slow to respond, which we completely understood. Icy later explained that they needed to wait until the drywall was up before moving forward. We understood, but we wish this had been communicated earlier, as we spent quite a bit of time preparing detailed information before learning that we would need to wait. In the meantime, we contacted other blinds companies, and they were happy to provide preliminary quotes and measurements and were much more responsive. By the time our drywall was completed, we had decided to move forward with another company. I'm giving 2 stars because Icy was responsive at the beginning, but overall, the experience was disappointing. Their other reviews are very positive, so perhaps we just had an unfortunate experience. We ultimately chose another shade company that was more flexible, responsive, and willing to work with us.

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!
