I spoke with Don and he came out to take a look and acknowledge that there was a problem. Then he completely disappeared. I have repeatedly tried to reach him without success.

He told me he was having trouble getting them to reach back. So he gave up instead of following through to create a satisfactory customer experience.

I would definitely work with Budget Blinds of Berkeley and Richmond again! I had a small job, just…read more2 blinds for my living room, 3 blinds for a bedroom, and 1 small blind for kitchen window. Budget Blinds of Berkeley and Richmond was fast, easy and pleasant to work with, and the product is very good. On Saturday, I submit an request for an appointment and a staff person texted me back right away to acknowledge the request, even though it was Saturday. So, they really pay attention! A gentleman named Mass came to my home to measure and show products; he arrived on time and had answers to all my questions, and brought a large, well-organized showbook of many samples that I could touch and compare. Mass does not do a "hard sell." He is understanding and easy going. My shades took 2 -3 weeks to arrive, which is typical of custom-made shades. It was easy to schedule installation soon after their arrival. The same person, Mass, does both the measuring and installation. He did a great job installing the blinds quickly. The manufacturer made an error on the small kitchen blind, which was replaced and installed literally within 5 business days. Custom blinds, with professional measurements and professional installation, are not cheap. But if you want it done right and done quickly, and pleasantly, Budget Blinds of Berkeley and Richmond is the way to go! Very happy with product and service!

The only reason the job didn't get 5 stars is that when we were told we would be charged shipping in addition, we couldn't have guessed that when we received the formal estimate, we would find curtains costing a little less than $1000 required a delivery fee of over $100. When I said I would pick it up rather than having it shipped, I was told the work is done elsewhere and shipping costs have gone up. Clearly the work is being done in faraway places to save on local labor costs. My question is whether the customer should be paying that surcharge or whether a company that saves on labor by shipping it elsewhere should swallow the shipping cost rather than passing it on to the consumer?

I stopped in the shop to get it serviced and received a call within a couple days as well as f/up emails to replace the shade under their lifetime warranty. They sent one box for the shade which was 'lost in transit.' The tech picked up the broken shade which was then 'lost in transit.' And then I was ghosted. I have a paper shade in its place and have heard nothing. While they have a brick & mortar, that's no guarantee that they'll stand behind their product post-purchase.
