Installation completed today 1 week shy of 3 months from initial order date. 3 partial installation days due to measurement errors. I had to call the vendor to obtain status on the shades. The installer Todd was courteous and professional and I do not fault him for the errors on this job.

The initial consultation involved pricing and measuring with the owner of the company and he was very nice and great. They followed up with their designer Brenda and she was terrific. She brought her fabric books and we ended up selecting another fabric after getting her input. The installation went great. We also commissioned a cushion (two actually) for the window seat area and when I showed her the fabric, she was kind of enough to see if she could get it for me at a lower price. She wasn't able to, but she actually went to the store and purchased what we needed for the cushions. The cushions came back a little flatter than I had wanted and when I called, she responded immediately, said that the seamstress could definitely fix it and when they came back they were perfect. I would highly recommend them and I will most definitely be using them again.
Description of Work: We needed to replace a very large roman shade in a bedroom and added a roman shade to a window seat area upstairs.

Perfect! Mr. Bob Sole called to let me know when he would be arriving. He gave me options on different types of window treatments and I was shown samples of colors/patterns. I was given estimates of 2 of the options. The shade arrived in s timely manner and the installer arrived promptly. Installation went perfectly. I love my roller shade! I chose the roller shade because the care/upkeep of the material is better suited for the location of the window in the kitchen and because of the cost.

Extremely nice guy, but I cannot justify spending that kind of money on blinds for a sliding door. Spent $99 for a nice conversation I guess.
Description of Work: I needed new blinds for a sliding glass door from my kitchen to the backyard. The prices quoted were outrageous. A $99 worth $400 toward new blinds is not a good deal if the price quoted is outrageous.

An appointment was made promptly by office manager of Express Blinds. Owner was prompt for his appointment and was helpful in choosing the new window coverings. He was very professional and represented his business in well. Window coverings were ready before the timeframe given by the owner. The installer was late so the appointment was rescheduled for the next day. Installer was prompt for second appointment and did a great job with the installation.

I made initial contact with them a week after purchasing the deal since I did not hear from them. Apparently someone was on vacation and they were super busy. Owner came, brought samples, measured and order was placed. Installer came once blinds were ready, but was late for two hour window. He had long distance to travel between jobs. Two blinds were perfect, one was a bit too wide at the base where it had been trimmed to fit window with back splash. New blind was ordered. Installer was at end of two hour window. Quick and professional both times, however, stood directly on kitchen counter when installing. No towel or drop cloth.

Express Blinds team Bob, Kim and Todd went above and beyond in customer service, starting with recommending shades in textures & colors that met our needs (owner Bob), fixing size errors the shade manufacturer made (Kim), and fine-tuning the installation (Todd). They responded quickly to questions and fixed the minor issues with no complaints. This is a company that respects and values its customers. Definitely will use them for future orders.

He did the measurements and left, telling my daughter he would be in contact with me. I didn't hear from him for almost 3 weeks after the appointment, I had to send a message to find out what was going on. The email he sent indicated he met with me and my daughter (I was not there), and that he measured 3 windows (he only measured 2). The estimate the was sent was for an overall value, not broken down by window like I would expect as the windows were in 2 different rooms. I sent an email to him letting him know that I had already updated the windows as it took so long to hear from him. The cost was higher than expected and without the measurements in the estimate, unclear what he was charging?
Description of Work: The company does free in home measurements for blinds. He came to my home in January and met with my daughter. He was on time and professional (according to her) and he measured the 2 windows we needed blinds for.

Set up was great. Blinds were completed timely and per my request. The blinds look great hung! The only issue was the installer was an hour and a half late and didn't call - when asked about it, he indicated that he knew he wasn't going to make it within the designated timeframe. Otherwise all went smooth.

We are very happy with the work that was done by everyone at Express Blinds and More. They responded quickly whenever I called or contacted the office. Because they bring the samples to your home, it was easy to match with the existing décor. The shade was quickly put up by the installer and the mechanism to lift and close the shade was easy to use. The measurements were perfect and the shade hung beautifully. Once the shade was closed, it looked like a tapestry on the wall. We would definitely use Express Blinds again and recommend them to our family and friends.
Description of Work: This service measured my window for a custom roman shade and then installed it once it was made. The service included bringing a large assortment of window covering choices to choose from.
