We recently decided to add a shade to the very large skylight in our historic home. Our goal was…read moreto find one that was automated, included a remote control, and offered a mobile phone app so we could schedule open and close times. Additionally, we wanted it to include a solar panel to keep the batteries charged, preventing us from having to climb a ladder to access the battery wand every few months. This objective sounded simple enough, but we encountered limitations with several of the local suppliers we initially contacted. Excuses included the skylight size, an inability to add automation, and difficulty adding the desired solar panel. Budget Blinds of Arlington and Alexandria took the time to understand our needs and identified a Hunter Douglas offering that met all of them. Throughout the process, office manager, Camila was engaged. Sales rep, Pam was informative and personable, and installation tech, Anton was detail oriented and respectful to our home. This Youtube video showcases the quality result: https://youtu.be/iy-KzECxCk4. When it's time to add similar shades to our windows, we know where we'll go.

Having never purchased blinds before, I have to say that Karen Parker and the Bloomin Blinds team are INCREDIBLE!!! Scheduling the consultation was a breeze and the times were very flexible.

There so many options and Karen explained each one thoroughly as she showed them to us. The price was reasonable for the quality and attention to detail. I also have to praise Mara who was so pleasant each and every time we spoke! You really get what you want from Bloomin Blinds. I would recommend them to anybody.

OK, I bought a shade a few years ago from BlindsToGo. A year ago, I started using it daily. It is built with a chain, which broke. Basically, it lasted one year before failing. I suspect a cord is a better choice, that chains are more likely to break. It's a design defect, in my opinion. At first, I was quoted $82, to be repaired in my home. Later, the cost suddenly went up to $165. I complained and eventually, by both bringing in the defective blind, and picking it up again, I got B2G to repair my blind (which took them 10 days). Will I be buying anything in the future from this store. In a word, no I will not.

I had started the job myself but got an anchor screw stuck and figured I should have a pro step in so I didn't wreck my new walls. All the supplies were here, placed where they needed to be, holes were measured and marked for custom made rods and drapes. He charges by the hour and moves very, very slow. He didn't have his own step ladder or anchor screws. In the first hour, he managed to put in 3 screws in holes that had already been marked. He claimed he "needed to remeasure" and that's why it took so long, but he used the holes that I had already marked. He also said it was too hard to do with custom cut rods. He also said it wasn't his fault because I had an anchor screw stuck in the wall already, which was the whole reason I hired him. This is what pros do: they come prepared, know the required materials and techniques, and advise the customer on the best way to proceed. I knew we needed to cut it off when he asked me how to use an anchor screw. He didn't know if you needed to pre-drill or not for a very basic and common anchor. I cannot imagine a professional handyman not knowing that. He used a level to stare at the pre-marked holes for what seemed like an eternity, just eating up time. 3 screws = $200. Seems like a nice enough man, but handyman may not be the profession for him, and that's giving him the benefit of the doubt that he wasn't just trying to take advantage of someone he assumed was too naive too know how long the job should take. He became very defensive, making excuses when I said we'd need to end the job at one hour. Im sure judging by other less than 5 star reviews here (that I really wish I'd have taken the time to read) he will post a very defensive response here as well. Please just don't take a job you don't have the required expertise to complete, and I don't want to hear defensive excuses when I'm still out $200 for almost no work completed.

With regards to the heating of our home, the windows were no better than screens. I reached out, looking for windows and installers. I had a few people come in and estimate the job. None of them impressed me until Greg from Windows on Washington came over. He walked me through several options and explained how the windows they used were manufactured and why. Windows on Washington got the job. My windows and my doors were being manufactured. So they sent out a wonderful gentleman to get the final accurate measurements. Great guy. After that, communication was wonderful as were were assessed of the stage we were in. This included when we got the email and calls explaining that, since we were on a higher floor, they needed to bring in some equipment to lift the new doors up to our balcony. No surprises. Installation day was amazing as Joon and his team came in, got everything into place, and cleaned up the areas to better than when they got here. Joon then went over the features on our windows and even explained how we get to and clean the outsides of the glass. Wonderful man and amazing team.

He proceeded to inform me as to how if I decided to work with him, I would get a 5 year warranty on each window for replacement just once. As well as other incentives. However none of things things really matters now, as he never follow through. My criteria as to who I work with included who offered the best price, as well as service and within budget. All of this was on Friday March 29th, 2024 today its April 3rd, 2024. I have contacted and left messages several times for AJ inquiring as to when I may expect to receive his quote.
