New owners r understaffed: only 1-tech installing and repairing. It took two weeks to get a real person on the phone after talking with 3 answering services. Owner proceeded to explain why it took so long and defend her position instead of getting to the point of scheduling repair. Based on her explanation that repairs are scheduled around installations (where they earn a few thousand or more) I've no idea when repair can occur. I don't recommend this company since it was sold. I bought shades in 2020 for office and home, loved them: I avoided chains in office, got pull down blinds, so glad I did. Chains break, jam, this is the 2nd chain repair in 5 years. 1. Avoid chains on shades, no problems with the manual pull down shades. 2. Avoid Budget Blinds, repairs r too difficult to get, new owners are understaffed, overuse answering services, owner has limited if any business experience with public: she explains, defends instead of taking care of business directly.

We discussed over the phone what I was looking for & an appointment was scheduled at my convenience when she could come out. At the appointment, Sarah was super nice and didn't make us feel like, "what the heck happened to your blinds" as it was a total "ghetto look" since our dog mangled it. Sarah listened intently to what my husband & I wanted and offered much needed suggestions as to color (what would look good with our wall color), texture and style. I thought I knew what I wanted, however, after listening to Sarah about the pros and cons, she made me realize that I wanted what I originally didn't want. After our selective choice, our wait was a little over 3 weeks before the product was shipped to her. Jon (installer) came on a Monday morning and installed our blinds in less than an hour. He even took our old blinds with him so we didn't have to get rid of it ourselves. We feel the price was competitive and within our set aside budget. Sarah & Jon were respectful & professional and we're very happy with our selection. Our experience was awesome and we'd highly recommend them. Mahalo.

I waited to write this review until another company verified my suspicions and fixed my issues for…read morea fraction of the cost. I have five HunterDouglas blackout blinds in three rooms. Three are motorized, and two are manual. One motorized blind's motor failed, and one manual blind's string frayed. The motorized blinds were inoperable, but the manual blinds could be opened and closed with effort and look crooked when open. We bought our condo in 2025, but the blinds were installed in 2021. I didn't know who installed them, so I researched local blinds and curtain installers in Honolulu. Hale Blinds was recommended. I called them, and the owner said they could come over soon. He inspected both blinds and confirmed the motor was damaged and unrepairable. He said HunterDouglas doesn't send out only motors and that my blinds were too old to source parts elsewhere. He also said the blinds with the frayed string couldn't be fixed because it would involve taking the entire track down and ruining it. He then suggested ordering a pair of new blinds at around $6000 to replace the them. He offered to bring a sample book and discuss my choices. I thanked him and promised to contact him; with no intention to do so. I knew I was being scammed. By pure luck, I contacted another business, who confirmed they had installed my unit's blind in 2021. I won't mention them so as not to appear as shilling for them. They were shocked when I both explained the problem and shared Hale Blinds's solution. They offered a replacement motor and restringing for the manual blinds. I ordered a motor, which took a month, and they installed it and restrung the other one. The total cost was $600, significantly less than buying new ones. I was disappointed by Hale Blinds misrepresentation and lack of honesty; especially after having such a pleasant conversation with him. I'd caution everyone to always get multiple quotes for repairs or new blinds if you deal with them; and I'd also be cautious about them honoring warranties based on their actions.

They explained that the door is made on the Mainland, it is custom made to fit my door frame, and may take 2+ months. While the estimating process requires their staff to conduct a site visit for measurements and it took a few days to complete, the staff were polite and professional. They explained the pricing and the time-frame required to make the door. On installation day two workers showed up to do the job, and they were technically proficient, polite, courteous, and professional. The quality and workmanship of the door is excellent. I am very happy with the installed product and the polite and professional demeanor of the office staff and installation crew. Highly recommended!!!

Having to call several other vendors, one of which thats sells the shower fixtures but does not install, the other requiring me to photograph and taking measurement prior to them going out for a "free" estimates. Mm, such great service : ( With little success, I called Jim for his assistance once again not knowing that they also sell and install shower door fixtures. After scheduling an appointment with him at the Moiliili branch we decided to go with Screens and Things even though our shower door fixture had to be special ordered and custom manufactured. Well, after several months of waiting, Screens and Things "Randy" and his partner (sorry forgot his name) arrived yesterday and installed the new shower door fixture. Both Randy and his partner did an excellent job in the installation. My mom and brothers are very happy with the purchase and installation and will refer our family and friends to them.

I've always heard about Wong's Draperies so stopped by to talk to them. I needed floor to ceiling drapes for two windows and wanted a heavier fabric. They came out and measured. Mel Wong, the owner, came out and looked at the room and suggested a fabric which was cheaper than the one I was looking at. I went with his suggestion and was glad that I did. It took over a month for the drapes to be made. I also wanted sheers behind the drapes so needed two rods. I like to have sheer curtains to add some privacy during the day or to shade the room a bit during mid-day. After the installation, the drapes started to hang on the carpet. I contacted Mel and he explained that it could be due to the weight of the drapes and came out and personally adjusted them. I appreciated his quick response. I'm very happy with the drapes and think they make the room look so nice. I also love the pull handles that make it so easy to open and shut the drapes. I hope they continue to stay in business as it would be hard to find someone else to do such quality work!
