Kathy from Stoneside helped us choose the attractive blinds for doors and windows. She made a second visit with our daughter to confirm the choice. Rusty the installer was superb and the result was excellent. We are very pleased.

I love my new solar shades! They certainly helped while we had warm weather in November and they look incredible! I can't wait to see how they do in the hot summer months. Kathy Mays was amazing and helped us pick out the perfect fit for our home. I can't recommend her and Stoneside enough! I also recommend choosing the motorized shades. They are well worth the extra expense, the remote is easy to use and our guests are always very impressed!!
Description of Work: Solar shades to protect the new wood floors, furniture, etc and to keep the home cooler.

I am absolutely thrilled with the quality of product, and the amazing service I got from Stoneside. Kathy Mays squeezed me into her schedule the very day I called, and bent over backwards to meet my timetable for installation. They are a first rate organization.

I am an Interior designer myself and I got double cellular shades for my master bedroom from Stoneside Blinds & Shades. Aside from the great product that they have that helped us decrease the heat in our room by 25%, I had a pleasure of working with Kathy Mays. Very professional, very knowledgeable and helpful person to work with. Thank you. I will defiantly introduce their products to my clients. Their professionalism, product quality and verity has exceeded my exceptions.

I can not say enough good things about Stoneside, namely Kathy Mays (Designer) and Rusty (installer). Kathy initially came out after I had other bids from some of their competition. I was in sticker shock mode... Kathy came out, measured everything, went over color selection, etc etc etc and even helped me select colors for the rooms the blinds would go in to ensure I was happy with the appearance of everything. We went over energy efficiency and my "purpose" for the blinds, ie privacy, sun exposure, etc. When all was said and done, she gave me a bid around 30% less than the competition. It was still relatively pricy and I was kind of going back and forth on the purchase..... I ended up going with them due to a few reasons.. 1) they had great reviews, 2) I was extremely comfortable with Kathy and she wasn't a typical "pushy saleswoman" and 3) I needed something to help with the brutal summer heat..... I ended up paying for seven window coverings first. Two solar shades and five honeycomb type coverings. I must say, I am extremely pleased with the appearance and MOST importantly, the absolute cooling down of my house. A few weeks ago, on a very hot weekend, I was so impressed by the reduction of heat in my house I decided to get additional coverings for the remaining two windows facing the afternoon sun. It is kind of costly but I must say absolutely worth it when you consider energy savings, COMFORT and competitor pricing..... The last few days when the temps were upwards of 112 degrees in El Cajon, my house (no AC) remained at around 80 degrees. In the past, without these window coverings, my house was only about 10 degrees cooler than the outside temp. These blinds REALLY do reflect heat and keep the place cool. I absolutely recommend getting these....
Description of Work: Measured and installed nine window treatments as well as helped with wall color selection/fabric selection to ensure I was happy with the appearance.

Absolutely outstanding service and professionalism. Kathy's recommendation for the shade in my new bathroom is the perfect compliment to the design. She is delightful to work with. Rusty did the installation and first came by to measure and then to install. The whole process was reasonably priced and seamless. All appointments were on time and efficient. They are THE BEST!!

We have placed 3 separate orders with Stoneside. Each time they have surpassed our expectations. They have a large selection of styles, fabrics, and colors, and each time we were able to find exactly what we were looking for. Kathy Mays is a wonderful designer, and her expertise was extremely helpful in ensuring that the blinds complemented each room's design. The installation went smoothly, everything fits perfectly, and we frequently receive compliments on our new window coverings. They stand behind their products, and I would recommend them to anyone without hesitation.
Description of Work: Stoneside provided us with custom window coverings for our new kitchen, as well as a 12' x 8' glass sliding patio door.

Kathy came to talk about our needs and suggested a few blinds depending on our needs (price, style etc..). Installation went so well too. Professional installation is definitely better. I was also happy that I asked them to take down old blinds. Taking down was not easy since ours was so long and heavy.

Kathy Mays was great! She went over all of my options and listened to what we wanted and she gave us a good price! Rusty did an excellent job on the installation! He ran into a problem with the company not packing the brackets in the box, so he made an hour long trip south of here to go get some brackets and then came back north (another hour) to install all of the shades the same day! We couldn't have been happier! I would recommend Stoneside to anyone!

We consulted Kathy Mays at Stoneside for blinds to cover two adjacent and perpendicular sliding glass doors in the corner of our unit. Kathy helped us select the blinds (material, style, and color) that would be best for our needs. Rusty came out and measured the glass doors for the custom blinds. When the blinds were ready, Rusty came out and installed the blinds. The blinds fit perfectly. The color match to our walls and carpet was better than I had envisioned. Overall the experience was one that exceeded my expectations.

Excellent. I loved that Kathy is an interior designer and really had sense of my style. I was originally going to choose another provider, but Kathy really changed my mind ( she did not know I had another vendor previously at my house) . It was her ability to look at the other elements in my home and direct me to the best choices. I LOVE My blinds!
Description of Work: Brought samples of the blinds and helped me choose the perfect ones for my windows.

As I stated before the entire process was very professional.
Description of Work: Excellent service from the start to finish! Kathy Mays was totally professional and came to my home with great samples and also offered wonderful design advice. She followed through with her visit with thanks you notes and pleasant queries. She arrived on the day of the installation to make sure every detail was taken care of. The installer, Rusty, was also very nice to deal with. He did a fantastic job with the entire process and even cleaned up after he was done. The finished project looks amazing.

Description of Work: Due to mold mitigatin, we were required to replace our entire kitchen in a Pacific Beach Rental Property. Stoneside worked with the chaos of all the contractors and came out to meet with the tenants,property manager and general contractor with extensive samples, so that new window treatment options could be installed. They came once to meet with the tenant etc, provide a quote with options and alternatives and a second time to measure. A final time to install.

We recently revamped our pool area with big boulders, rocks, succulents and a waterfall cascading down the hillside into our pool. We wanted to block the glare from the sun, but did not want to block the view. Stoneside Blinds & Shades immediately understood what we were trying to accomplish and provided us with solar blinds that completely cut out the glare, reduced the heat from the sun and still let us enjoy our beautiful view. Kathy helped us pick out the perfect blinds and Rusty gave us a professional installation. The experience was satisfying and the price was reasonable. I would recommend them to anyone.
