My 20+ year old blinds needed to be rehung, and one needed a repair. I love these blinds for several reasons and I don't think I could find any like them anymore. In addition, the cost of replacing all four because of one broken one would have been too high, and wasteful for the environment when they were all essentially good! I called several blind companies and was dismayed to find that not one would come out and take care of my blinds because they all said they only help people that originally purchased their blinds from them. Well, not Window World on Hart Street, phone 808-834-1114! (Make sure it's this company; there are a couple with similar names.) They were amazing. They responded immediately that they could take care of me, that it sounded like a simple job, and they scheduled me for service! Wayne and Garrett came to the house and knew exactly what needed to be done. They were professional, friendly, careful with moving the blinds around in my newly painted rooms, and fixed and remounted my blinds perfectly. They even sprayed the brackets and roller with silicon to keep the roller moving well. I'm so happy with their work, and so grateful for small companies like them that will help regardless of the original purchase location. Window World, thank you for being so professional and doing such a wonderful job for a homeowner! read more

Knowledgeable and friendly service. They have almost everything you could possibly need for window covering projects.

Love our new curtains and roller shades! The material is high quality and really elevates the look of our home. Jan and Reid are super knowledgeable and answered all our questions and even helped with recommendations on what would work best for what we want. The installers were professional and I appreciate that they were diligent about cleaning up afterwards. Really happy with choosing Window World. Highly recommend! read more

My first encounter with this company was not pleasant. The young lady who answered the phone was very irritating. No Pleasantries. And she behaved like she doesn't mis-state anything. A very unfriendly customer experience. I hope the service techs who come out to assess my problem are more island friendly. read more

Rodell "The handsome Filipino installer" he told me to say that did a magnificent job! Helped me fix my motorized blinds quickly and efficiently after I tried to "YouTube" fix going badly! Team followed all cleanliness procedures, tip toed around my expensive Italian furniture They will now have all my window business for life! Highly recommended and elite approved. read more

We recently moved into our vacation home in Kakaako, Hawaii. We received quotes from three vendors for roller shades. Window World provided very reasonable pricing for window coverings. We were a bit skeptical about the quality of the window coverings. We are happy when the installers finished the job and roller shades look very pretty in my new condo. We highly recommend Window World. read more

A great experience working with this team when I'm on island on some properties. They installed solar shades on my townhomes and they look fantastic. I couldn't be happier with the service I got and love that they wore a mask and take safety precautions seriously. Thank you to the sales staff that helped me on my latest project, felt the aloha on this one as always! read more

After reading the reviews about Window World, I gave them a call for a vertical blinds estimate throughout my whole house. A salesman came (won't mention his name), took measurements and said he would drop off samples and provide an estimate the next day. It's been over 2 weeks and still no samples or estimate! I called and sent a text to my salesman last week, asking about the status of the samples and estimate. He texted back that he "totally forgot and will drop off the samples within the hour". Guess what? I'm still waiting! That's a long hour!!! I really wanted to like, and possibly use this company, but based on the customer service experience that I received (or didn't receive) from their salesperson, I don't know if I could actually trust them to follow-up if something went wrong or if service was needed for any of their products in the future. I don't think so, and that's what makes this review so disappointing. I ended up going with another company. read more

Poor service! I scheduled an appointment to have my blinds checked. They charge $95 service call and give you a two hour window for arrival. They scheduled on a Saturday between 1-3. I drove to my rental unit and arrived at 12:30. I tried calling a couple times only to find that the office is closed on Saturday and there's no way to reach anyone. So I sat and waited until 4 o'clock, and no one showed up. As I locked up and left the unit and was driving home I receive a call at 4:19 PM from Dominic saying he needed to reschedule. There's no way for me to reach them and they don't even have the courtesy to call to let you know they are running behind. The office called on Monday morning to Reschedule the appointment I asked if they could waive the service fee because of the inconvenience and they said they could not. So their time is valuable but ours is not? They expect us to sit around and wait and think nothing of not showing up? read more

We had a great experience with Window World, especially with Christian, who was such a wonderful person to work with. We ordered black out drapes and the work was done locally, quickly and for a reasonable price. There were some minor corrections and adjustments that needed to be made after installation, however the company was easy to work with. Christian was so helpful, professional and pleasant with an amazing "can do" attitude, we will certainly use them again in the future. read more

I had a specialty project I had asked if they could perform with some material I had purchased. The salesperson said they would give me a quote on the project but I had to give them the material first. I gave them suggestions on how others have done it before. A few weeks went by. I got an email stating they couldn't perform the project because their equipment couldn't handle the material. They said I should come pick it back up. Upon receiving it I noticed the material was altered and cut. This is not come cheap material. It was $700 worth of it. When I called to complain they said the sales person is no longer there and no one would take responsibility. Meanwhile I ended up ordering the heavier duty roller (which I provided the info for) and completed the project myself. Problem is they cut the material too short. I would not trust these guys if they can't own up to the mistakes they made. You're better off finding a more reputable company. Sorry, if I could give zero stars I would. read more

Window World - Ended up installing this screen myself but because this company altered the material and cut it I was left short - Shades & Blinds Near Me - Honolulu, Hawaii

It was awesome working with them a few years ago. They are professional, courteous, and did a good job. They installed black out curtains for my office. Job was done smoothly and quick once we got it scheduled. They were able to work around our schedule so we didn't lose any work time when they installed the curtains. I am looking forward to using them for my apartment in the near future. read more

First time here, they loaded me up halfway, another lady came, she didn't even park good, and she came out said hi to some guys on the curb, and next thing I know they started loading her up, the amount of time they took loading her up, they could've finished mines first and I would've been already gone. Terrible customer service! Learn to finish the people who are there first! read more

They are experienced and easy to work with. Materials they used for curtains were good quality. People at the office were happy with the curtains installed. I would definitely recommend them to family and friends for commercial and residential jobs. read more

We are happy with Window World. Tanner is great to work with and responsive. Our condo has so many windows with 3 bedrooms and Window World finished in a day!Installation was on time and did a great job. We recommend Window World. read more

I wanted to say how wonderful my experience with window world has been. We started out shaky with issues regarding scheduling, but once that was resolved, I had 2 teams of very professional men over to (1st) reprogramed my living room and dining room automatic window shades and (2nd) restrung the shades in my son's room, after measurements were taken from the 1st group of men. The men were very respectful, they took off their shoes and left them outside my door. Both teams showed up at a timely manner and seemed very trustworthy. I am very pleased with the outcome of my blinds and would highly recommend Window World for your window needs. Would definitely work with them again! read more

I wanted express my appreciation for Tanner and the men who installed my roller shades ! They we great as far as providing great customer care . So my sliding door didn't have a cover because it was never ordered, my husband forgot and so when it was brought up to my attention that day , I asked the guy who was installing my roller shades to see if they could put in an extra order (same day), he said that I'd have to check with Tanner. I said fair enough and after his lunch break he came through and installed it the (same day) . Fast and efficient workers ! I would definitely recommend..... I love my roller shades ..... easy to clean , sleek , modern and easy to use! read more

Tanner Bots and reid Woodward went above and beyond to make sure that everything went well with my order and installation. The automatic shades that I ordered work great and look even better. Would definitely recommend! read more

Great value and service! My blinds install was easy and they even covered additional repairs that needed to be made. Even after my 1 year warranty was up, they still covered a minor repair. Ask for Jen. She's great! read more

BEWARE OF THIS BUSINESS. I have never experienced such horrendous customer service and terrible attitude to boot. I don't know how they're still in business given their service standards or complete lack thereof. Poor installation (my tile contractor even was shocked and offered to fix it), poor communication, and then a terrible attitude from management and the owners. Never again. read more

I needed a sofa reupholstered very quickly. They did a great job and communication was awesome. read more

DO NOT DO BUSINESS WITH THEM!! DON'T WALK AWAY, RUN AWAY WHILE YOUR WALLET STILL HAS CASH!! When scheduling a consult, ordering or installation they are prompt and friendly. When you call to discuss a problem they always give the excuse they need to talk with the manufacturer. This seems to take at least a month before I lose patience and I have to call back to remind them I'm still waiting. I ordered Norman Motorized Shutters paying an extra $5,000 for motorized feature. They assured me they have installed these in many hotels and never had issues. Unfortunately the motors do not work having Window World repeatedly replace back up batteries for Solar generated power and neither seem to work. The last time they came to my home to replace batteries the motorized shutters failed to work by the next morning. I asked for my money back and that's when they stopped all communication with me. I sent a note to Norman Shutters and they immediately bounced my request for motor information to Window World. No accountability from manufacturer or Window World. I gave them one star because the install of the shutters was nicely done. Unfortunately it's a faulty product with no way of returning the non-functioning Norman Motorized Shutters. Shame on Window World for selling me a VERY expensive piece of crap!! Hope you sleep well Lauren and Martin. read more

Window World has been a life saver. We use them for our clients on the island (we are based in New York,but from Aiea originally). They take all of the stress out of the selection, installation and maintenance of window treatments for our clients. The sales and install team are knowledgeable, professional, friendly and reliable. They make life easy as you can count on them to be where they need to be on time. They are courteous, communicate well with both the client and us and they are responsive to any problems that might arise. I would certainly recommend Window World to anyone looking for window treatments, awnings and the like. They also do an excellent job existing furniture and fabricating new pieces that are well and beautiful. read more

Good fast response at a reasonable price. Tanner came to our house to measure our windows and sliding glass doors and everything fits and looks perfect! It took about 3 weeks to get our shades made and installed. Would definitely use them again. read more

Toward the end of our home renovation, we contacted Jennifer at Window World to look into purchasing blinds for the numerous windows in our home. Jennifer was professional, friendly, knowledgeable and very helpful in assisting us in making decisions. She was always available and catered to our schedule as far as meeting with her. She came out to our home twice and was punctual and thorough. The blinds were delivered and installed as scheduled. In addition, we also worked with Jennifer in getting our vintage koa furniture refinished and custom cushions made. Again, everything was completed on time and with no problems. Jennifer made working with her a comfortable and trusting experience. Kudos to Window World but more so, for having someone like Jennifer working there. We have no hesitation in returning if further projects come up and will definitely recommend WW and Jennifer to friends and family. Mahalo Jennifer! read more

I would like to say Window World is great. I actually was told to call another company and their phone rang & rang. no answer. And I found Window Window on Yelp. I called and they answered right away. I spoke with their sales person Jennifer Brian. She was very friendly and helpful. O sent her pictures & dimensions. She gave us a quote & drove up from Honolulu to our office in Haleiwa North Shore. Showed us samples of the roller shade material. Then their installer came up to verify field measurements. unfortunately this was right before Christmas & New Years and they were busy. But finally got the roller shade installed in our office. Their installer came in, installed the roller shade, and got a great working roller shade for a large window on an angled wall. These people are great and would recommend them to anyone both residential & commercial. read more

More than just window dressings!!! They reupholstered and refinished my couch and gave new life to it!!! Very well done and was completed in less than a week. Thank you so much!!!! read more

Exceptional quality and service! I have had custom furniture and draperies made by WW. Quality and craftsmanship impeccable - exceeding items I had purchased thru mainland design centers. Service and attention matches in every regard. Mr Botts and his team listen, and deliver optimal outcomes. Value and quality are unmatched in industry. I could not recommend more highly. Mahalo nui Loa! read more

I'm not sure why Window World has any negative reviews. Tanner came out and helped my mom with her new condo's drapery and everything turned out great! The installation crew was friendly and efficient. I would highly recommend them. read more

If you need window coverings, go somewhere else. It took five months to get my shades after putting down a deposit and the installers did not have the parts they needed and I can't open the shades.I've called every day with no response. This company does not care about customer service. read more

Very good experience with Christian who did the measurements and brought samples from which to choose. Installation had one issue, which was resolved very quickly and very well when I communicated about it. Glad to support a local manufacturer. read more

Be aware! I had Window World came in to my apt to install solar shades for three rooms. I've spend a couple of thousand dollar for it (shades w/ one motor (each motor alone costs $800) and installation. The quality of installation and the shades was very poor! The shades were not been cut straight. It looks poor quality which is quite different than what I saw in their showroom. On top of that, my sofa was full of dust and wall got dirty and has cracks on it after they finished the job! So, I called Window World to make a complaint, and they said they will get back to me. It's been weeks not only I haven't heard from them, but I saw an additional unauthorized $1000 charge by WW on my credit card bill!! Therefore, I called them again. The said that the one thousand dollars was for the second motor which they decided to charge me after the installation because it needed two motors. It took two motor to run one shade?! What kind of trick is this?! Again, they said they will get back to me! Is it even illegal to charge customer without any kind of notice??? They just decided to take my credit card info and charged it again! I am thinking if I should report them to Better Business Bureau. I totally regretted to go with them, should have gone with Low's! read more

Their customer service is terrible and they do not stand by their workmanship. Try reaching someone by calling window world, is very difficult to get through to who you are Trying to reach. I've had issues with my shades for over a year now. It has been the same problem since I got them and window world is telling me that is out of warranty. They never came out to resolve the issue even though I contacted them while it was under warranty is that right? read more

Having done numerous design build projects dealing with numerous vendors, I have come across a few companies that had terrible customer service. Window world was one of these for the following reasons. It is painful to try and contact the staff at window world. Everytime I called and asked for the salesperson I was working with I had to go through what felt like a screening questionnaire. If the person isn't in why can't they just tell me and take a message. The blinds they installed were not working well and the ownership made the decision to not remedy the problem. They even accused us of not making the final payment telling us that we were complaining about the blinds and trying to get out of paying the balance. Their salesman had to inform the owners they were wrong and that we made full payment. Our blinds were well within the warranty yet they refused to honor the warranty. We just wanted the sagging top of the blinds adjusted. I contacted the manufacturer grabber and they confirmed that the blinds were still under warranty. Grabber was helpful and sent me instructions on how to make adjustments but after spending so much money on the blinds shouldn't window world take care if the problem for me? Overall I definitely world not recommend window world. They represent several quality brands however the leadership/ownership at the company is terrible and undeserving of the representation of those brands. Take your money elsewhere. read more

I've been forced to deal with them for the past 8 years because of my poor initial choice in selecting them for our new condo's window blinds and draperies (didn't do my research and just went with the building developer's choice - should have known better). A few years ago, I remember talking with an extremely rude person over the phone and was aghast when learning she was the business owner: Teri ! (other reviewer here concur). Even though they say their material has lifetime warranty (they still charge $75 for a repair visit), she made me dread calling them again when their blinds would need servicing (again and again- suspicious materials wearing off quickly - we hardly use the blinds, only a few times a year). Every time i HAVE to call them (every other year), I am reminded of how extremely dysfunctional this company is; on the latest series, it was a borderline joke: they MISSED the appointment TWICE without any calling on their part (had to wait entire afternoons each time), then they had no idea there ever was an appointment! 3rd time, they didn't have the parts so needed another appointment ! every time you call them , they have no records who you are nor what happened before so making you go through wait times and questionnaires every time to figure out why you are calling, ending up telling you they will call back: they call back about 1 out of 5 times ! These guys make the DMV look great. As another reviewer said: HOW CAN THEY STILL BE IN BUSINESS ? i guess because fools like me don't go on yelp and look at reviews beforehand ;-) I'm not even that worried about payback from this bad review as they do such a horrible job following up and having any clue altogether. Apparently somebody here on Yelp (owner Reid W. ?) is listening and apologizing profusely to all the 1 star reviews but I don't see any changes in the way they poorly do business... read more

I bought 9 roller shades from Window World and their quality is superb. They look beautiful and elegant. Their prices are also wholesale so you are getting the lowest prices. Trust me, I have looked at Wong's Draperies, Lowes, and Home Depot for a similar product and they all were significantly higher. (Wong's Draperies even has sample books from Window World and marks their prices higher. I guess Wong's Draperies are a 3rd party and requires it to be marked up to make any money.) In the Window World store, they have a lot of samples for you to take a look at: roller, wood, vertical, fabric, etc. Their customer service was really helpful and they even let me borrow a sample book of their roller shade colors and percentage openness so that I could compare the colors and type in my home. Major bonus for people who can't make up their minds!! When I picked out what I wanted, an employee came by to my home at no time at all to take measurements. After about 2 weeks, the shades were cut and I scheduled an installation time. I wasn't there when the installation took place, but when came home to look at it for the first time, I was thoroughly impressed. I only took a star off because when I started rolling up and down one of the shades, it turned crooked at one point and started to snag on the top which messed up the shade's pristine condition. I had a 1-year warranty on the shades, so I called Window World up to ask someone to take a look at them. They fixed the alignment by putting paper filler in the roller? I'm not too sure since I wasn't there during that second meeting as well, but now all is fine. I think this all could have been avoided if they tested out the shades prior to leaving, but maybe the shades were working then and they grew a little with no one touching them. Hehe, I like to give people the benefit of a doubt. GO NOW IF YOU NEED SHADES. Two thumbs up!!! read more

Don't bother emailing window world with a complaint, their e-mail link doesn't work! Don't bother calling either. They will not return your calls. They sure are fast on cashing your check though!!! Sent from my iPhone read more

Worst choice ever! Bad communication! Had to keep calling them for installation after half deposit was paid. Only installed two pieces of roller shades for a three panel window. Used only one motor for my four panel window. They did all this without communicating with us in advance. Will not recommend this business to anyone! read more

I just installed blinds in my new Penthouse in Honolulu and Window World was wonderful. The salesperson, Tanner, helped me select the right blinds for my desired outcome. He was patient and friendly and gave me a fair quote. The workmen were professional, polite and cleaned up afterwards. I highly recommend Window World, both for the great price and installation experience. I have to add, I decided to add another layer of treatment because Hawaii gets such intense sun, and Tanner was so helpful in creatively and cost effectively offering a way in offering a second layer to block out heat. I'm so impressed by him. He works late and weekends and takes his time to meet your needs. Kudos! read more

Window World installed my roller shades this past November and did an excellent job. The quality of the materials and workmanship were aesthetically beautiful and complimentary to each room. Also, Terri was able to custom order perfectly matching metal valances for our unit and others who installed Window World shades. When I called for an adjustment 6 months later, they were very efficient and responded immediately! read more
