Veteran Blinds & Shutters - TV Room what a difference!! Thanks so much!! - Shutters Near Me

We have been using Veteran Blinds for several years now for all of our shades and shutters. We have always had a great experience with Mike. We proudly support this locally owned business and will continue to do so. read more

I've held off on this review for over a year now and I've tried to give VETERAN MIKE many chances to make up for it but I'm not waiting any longer... I'll start off saying that I am a VETERAN myself and that is why I went with him. Initially everything was okay with communication but then significantly decreased resulting with scheduling and installing. There were many delays and he would not respond to texts for days on end, when he did eventually there was always a unique excuse, and the job was never 100% complete. As far as the installation, it was smooth except the extension never installed and I had to find it on my own. (Pictured) After some months time, one of the clips for some reason was bent enough for the rod to become loose and fall. Mike told me he had extras and would bring them but never scheduled to come back. I had to find that solution on my own. Recently issues with the motor/batteries eventually came up and yes he finally responded to text but again never followed through with his responses. Future blinds and business will definitely go elsewhere. Good luck to you if you read this read more

Super happy with our window coverings! After we had new windows installed we realized that the old window coverings for our sliders didn't fit anymore. Mike walked us through our options and was extremely patient and informative about the pros and cons of each product. We also decided to replace some cheap plastic blinds in the bedrooms and Mike was able to match our nicer blinds exactly. Once our order was received, Mike let us know right away and installed everything super quickly. I could not be happier with the service and quality we received working with Mike. read more

Purchased some shutters and got them installed into my second living room a few years ago. I'm just now writing a review and wanted to warn everyone how cheap these shutters are. The quality of them is extremely disappointing. They feel like plastic. The middle piece to the opening of the shutters was just a stapled on piece of wood that fell off within 6 months of having them. Went through another vendor called whole sale shutter for a different project last week and their quality is top notch compared to this company. read more

My shutters are amazing! We had 12 windows which included an impossible huge arch window, I seriously thought a beautiful shutter would be out of the question. I was thrilled when Michael told me no problem. I cannot believe how perfect it fit and was installed with absolute precision molding and all. It functions just like my large square window shutters. I cried to see it, it's just beautiful. My huge folding door window to our California room was just as big of a challenge. Michael patiently showed us several options and material. I went with his recommendation and was stunned at how beautiful it looks and that it functions so perfectly without blocking the view or the light! Just as promised! I could not be more impressed with Veteran Blinds and Shutters. Michael was so accommodating with my crazy schedule. He is a true professional. My husband and I make it our goal to support small businesses and especially Veteran owned! We could not be more pleased with the value, service and products! Can't wait to do our next outdoor shade project! read more

I used Veteran Blinds and Shutter's twice with no problems. I was happy with Mike's services. We recommended him to my son, whom put in his shutter order, gave Mike a hefty deposit of 3k and never heard back from him. We have tried calling, texting and emailing him for the last 3 weeks with no response whatsoever. We were actually concerned about him until we saw his work van in a local parking lot. I would never use or recommend him again! Very frustrating and disappointed. If I could give him zero stars I would. read more

Beautiful work, kind workers. Worked quick and they were very affordable, moved and will be using them again

Mike Harvey came in and provided me a quote and conducted all measurements and placed my order late October or early November 2023, I order motorized shades and shutters for my entire house. The shades came in with no issues on Friday afternoon November 24 2023 and Mike was at my house the next day on a Saturday doing my install for the shades. Install went great, the material and quality of the shades are amazing. There was one issue with the French door bracket being the wrong one from manufacture and Mike is getting the correct bracket to install that and will be back Monday. My shutters are set for delivery this Friday and I'm on his schedule for that Monday to install only reason it's a few days in-between delivery and install is because we are going out of town! Professional, honest, and had the best pricing! I'm located in Oceanside, Ca and he has delivered excelled customer service to us and ensuring our windows are set up in a timely manner! I'll report back with another review and photos once shutters are installed next week! read more

Veteran Blinds & Shutters - Shutters Near Me

I will keep the 1 star because of the horrible experience we had and the months we spent chasing Mike and asking for either our shutters or our money!! however, 3 weeks ago we received a second email saying that he mailed us a check, I didn't believe it because it had happened before but surprisingly the check came after 2 weeks and it was fine!! He also wrote an apology letter with the check which was nice. I just wanted to update this review to be fair. read more

Mike came to our home and was the least pushy salesperson ever. I had 8 quotes from 8 different businesses and he was 2 of 8 who had all their licenses current. Do you know how frustrating it is to spend all your time listening to the same pitch just to find out the business isn't licensed bonded or insured?! Unbelievable! When I vetted them which I did with a microscope he was 100% legitimately. He was informative, respectful and answered all our questions. Once we signed we knew there was going to be a wait and boy was that terrible but to be honest it happens and although Mikes responses might be a bit slow at times he does get back to you. Having some patience is needed, he works hard and it's a small business but the care is there from him and he does come through. Will definitely recommend his business, job clean and well done! Wait was worth it !!! read more

Just want to update my reviews I did receive my refund of my deposit but it did take 5 months of chasing. I still won't recommend this company to anybody it was a long stressful event. Thank you read more

I finally got my blinds, but one was wrong, one was missing, and the slider was installed in the wrong direction. Mike doesn't answer calls/texts due to lack of support. Mike installed the replacement blinds, but forgot to reverse the slider even after I reminded him. After 7 texts to reach Mike, he has blown me off. Do yourself a favor, use someone else. read more

This is a stand up company with great product and even better service! Mike was able to install all our shutters faster than I thought he could!! He even goes above the call of duty and fixed my old shutters that came with the house for free! Our new automatic roll up / down shades he installed are stunning ! You can tell this company stays current on all the latest & advanced technology !On top of that ,my kids were running around screaming during install and he bought them treats from the ice cream man out of no where and got the kids to calm down. You can tell it's a family owned company because he treated us like family! I would easily recommend Veteran Blinds and shutters to anyone. read more

Called veterans blinds and my broken shutters have a lifetime warranty. Mike came fast and replaced the shutters that were broken. Thank you Mike read more

Mike does amazing work, shutters are very nice and professional. I have recommended my neighbors, friends and family. His work goes unnoticed. read more

Requested a quote in February for 8 shutters and received a reasonable offer. Was given an April installation date. Put a deposit in for half the amount, and April came and went even though we requested an updated status on our order, which we never received. Sent an additional request for an update only to be GHOSTED. Does not reply to paid customers. Cannot recommend to anyone. He's the bad apple in the bunch. Take your business elsewhere. read more

I purchased shutters with deposit down and expected installation to be mid- April. I have been leaving voice messages, text messages, and emails for Mike or anyone a week straight just to get a status update with no response. Simple communication is all I need, but at this point I'm scared I have been scammed out of my money - especially after reading the reviews of past customers. It appears an employee shortage has been an issue for sometime, therefore my money should have never been taken in the first place. This delay is no surprise to him and should have been up front with the issues. Extremely disappointed and hoping I am contacted soon. read more

Would have left 0/5 if that was possible. Mike of Veteran Blinds was fine until he wasn't... My original quote appointment was great and then everything went downhill from there. Estimated installation dates came and went, with no communication. He became completely non responsive! I attempted to contact by phone, text, email, Facebook messenger, and message on his public Facebook page. Eventually he responded with excuses about getting too many spam calls to keep his phone on during the day, but nothing about my blinds & shutters. He did eventually wire back our deposit. Multiple others have reached out to me who saw my comments on his public Facebook page, who have yet to get their deposit back. Do not use this business. read more

I' have used Veteran Blinds several times and have always had excellent service with competitive pricing. I am in the process of buying a home and I will use their service again. Mike has always exceeded my expectations, blinds fit and short wait time. Thank you Veteran Blinds!!! read more

First off, do not do any business with this company. It is absolutely ridiculous the run around I have gotten. My parents referred me to Mike Harvey as he is a veteran and so is my father. Granted that I support our heroes, I figured I would do the same and support a local company. Mike was so attentive and helpful at first. Once he got my deposit, he quoted me 3 weeks for my blinds and 8 weeks for my shutters. That was on 3-16-23. Since that date, I have received one email from Mike after I sent 15+ messages through his phone number, the company' phone number, his email, his company's email. That email Mike sent was him apologizing for the delay and gave us another date which we are also past that date. My wife and I sent an email back stating that we understand the delay as sometimes things are outside of his control (such as production time delays). After that email, I got the run around again. Since then, I've sent several emails, texts and phone calls with ZERO response. By far this is the absolute worse company I have EVER dealt with. We will be filing a civil suit against him and his company for our money back. I air out the info on here to caution everyone. In addition, it seems that other people have received the same poor service. I attached the information to the company if anyone else has been taken advantage of and needs it. It's a shame that I have to result to posting a Yelp review but it does not seem like this company is professional enough to respond to any of my requests for a call back or our money back. UPDATE: As of 6-13-23, still no update from Mike Harvey or his company. Pretty much sums up his company. I've reached out via email, text and call 15 times since writing this review and still nothing. read more

"I would like to thank Mike at Veteran Blinds and Shutters. Not only was I satisfied when I purchased my shutters and blinds with a great price, they now have been very accommodating with any replacement parts or concerns I have had. Customer Service is a great part of their business. I am so pleased with the my blinds/shades and shutters. Mike is so easy to work with and understanding. I would recommend them 100% read more

Mike and his team are excellent! The prices are INCREDIBLE, and the QUALITY is SUPERIOR! Support this outstanding Veteran owned business! Mike will take care of you! read more

I question the legitimacy of any of the positive comments about this company. Mike is a complete scammer. I chose his company because he's allegedly a fellow veteran. Came to my house, very professional. Measured everything, sent me a quote. Sent him our deposit on 2/9. Paid extra to have our shutters expedited. Quoted a 4 week lead time. I think he meant that was the lead time for his communication. Asked several times for updates, but none. Terrible service. I requested a refund a week ago and never heard back. Going to file a complaint with the Better Business Bureau, file a fraudulent charge claim with my bank, and then have to start this process all over again because I'm still with no window coverings. Stay far away from this sham of a company. Wouldn't even give one star but I have to in order to post this. read more

Con artist is what Mike the owner is. Amazing sales pitch. Took my money and ran. Took forever to get a response and finally get my money back. Avoid this business and pos. read more

Put $4,000 down on 12/27/23 and was told 7-10 weeks. It is now 6/26/24 and Mike hasn't communicated anything to me. Doesn't answer calls or texts. When I call during business hours, nobody picks up and then I'll get an automated text. Starting to think my blinds are never coming. read more

**AVOID!!** Mike, was very thorough in product selection, and did his best to get us the best price. Our house was a huge project of 25+ windows consisting of shutters, and power-operated shades. I'm so disappointed I couldn't give him a higher rating. We definitely feel taken advantage as being veterans ourselves, and supporting a local veteran business. We will also have to look into contacting the BBB as we paid for a product we didn't receive, and they never came back to finish the installation job. Multiple phone calls were made, emails including text messages were sent with ZERO response. We were very satisfied with the service initially, but the lack of follow-through, delay in installation (not related to product shipment), and zero return in communication over the past 4+ months, feels like he took our money, did poor installation, and then ran. *Update* Immediately following this review we received some contact from Mike which we were hopeful he'd rectify the situation, but again ZERO follow through. I would have been ready to update my post with compassion and understanding as this past year has been crazy for everyone, but again poor communication. **CHOOSE ANOTHER BUSINESS !!** read more

Requested an estimate back in February 2023 Mike came out and provided an estimate. I placed the order and gave deposit of 50% of estimate ( he had originally asked for full payment in order to place order, which I didn't agree to). My expected installation date was in April 2023. My calls text and emails went unanswered. Mike and his veterans blinds company are a fraud. Never one call, text or email regarding my refund or just to advise as to why the delay. I had to go with another company. I mentioned my experience with the previous company, and they informed me that Michael Harvey is known to the window coverings business as a fraud. He often just changes his company name and does the same thing over and over again. Do not trust him not even in your house !!! read more

We called Veteran Blinds to replace and install new blinds for our home. The initial meeting seemed to go well, paid a deposit, and waited for a call on installation. After several weeks we called to find out if the blinds came in, which they had, and set up an appt with Mike to install. He installed 3 windows, then looked at sliding door, saying there was a missing part , explaining it was the manufacture's fault. He asked for another $500, kept the new verticals , and said the part should get here in a week. It's been over a month, we called several times, and we haven't received a single message or returned call. We feel ghosted, and will need a refund on the work and materials that was already paid. read more

Uses a good system for monitoring and tracking for his clients. Blinds look amazing and more affordable than others

I'm trying to get a hold of Mr. Harvey for weeks now and he has not responded not even once. I already paid in advance for the work and he still hasn't gotten it done. I would either like a refund or a set date for my blinds to get done. read more

Awesome experience! Quick free quote appointment, and I compared to others. You cannot beat the quality product they offer. Price was still fair especially comparing products and way of doing business of competing companies. Timeline was right on point, install went smoothly and Mike and Steve took personal responsibility for our satisfaction. I am definitely recommending them to others! read more

We just moved into a new house and needed new blinds, so I reached out to a bunch of different companies. Mike was the first to respond and the first to come out. The consultation was quick and easy and I had a quote in my hands within about 30-45 mins (give or take). When I told him that I was still shopping price, he didn't try any high pressure sales tactics which I appreciated and just told me to contact him should I want his services. I ended up getting about 3 additional quotes, but none of them could beat Veteran blinds on price, so I went with them. Mike came out to install and was in and out in about an hour, the blinds look great and I can finally enjoy some privacy in my new home! Highly recommend Veteran blinds if you value a good price and good service,. Thanks Mike! read more

I've known a lot of contractors in my time. And when you experience one like Veteran Blinds & Shutters, you always remember. I mean that in a 100% positive way. The product knowledge, advice, timeliness, price & finished product are impeccable! Mike & his staff operate a 1st class company composed of courtesy & the highest ethics. If you need custom window treatments, done RIGHT, I highly recommend this company. Thank you Mike & thank you for your service to our great nation as well read more
