It was a great experience . I gave you all the details in the previous paragraph
Description of Work: The provider was just wonderful . She showed up with many options for my windows and could answer all of my questions perfectly. She was informative without being pushy. She measured the window and then told me the blinds would Be in in two weeks. In exactly two weeks they were installed perfectly. The whole experience was excellent . I highly recommend Ruth( the owner) and intend to use her and budget blinds for all my future window needs

Everything went extremely well. Ruth took measurements, got back to me with 4 different suggestions with prices. She sent photos so I could see what each looked liked. I made a choice and approximately 4 weeks later the installer put up the valence. He was prompt and efficient and very pleasant. It was delightful working with them. I even had a problem with the track of a shade coming off the window. Ruth sent out someone to make the repair. I am very pleased with the work.
Description of Work: T he owner of the company came to my home with samples of material and photos of suggested valences.

Description of Work: Designer from Budget Blinds came to the house on a Sat. - on time - with samples and measuring tape. Helped us with the choices. Ordered 2 sliding door vertical blinds and 4 wooden venetian blinds. |Installers came 2 1/2 weeks later. They removed old ones and installed new ones in an hour. Cleaned up everything and even helped move back a few pieces of furniture. Great job. Definitely will recommend to others.

The owner visited our home personally (with samples of everything) and sent out materials concerning the options available in advance so that we could begin to familiarize ourselves with the product line. We chose a variety of window treatments; some room darkening for instance, others not, some light filtering, some (bathrooms) mildew resistant. The installation was smooth and in advance of the holidays as promised. The only problem we had was with the room darkening shades in the master bedroom. Each of those blinds was replaced without question and in a timely fashion. We will and already have recommended Budget Blinds of West Hartford to family and friends (who were very impressed with what they saw in our home). Thanks Budget Blinds!
Description of Work: Budget Blinds of West Hartford provided window treaments for all of the windows in our home (17 windows).

Tom is the owner of this franchise. I have used him several times for vertical and horizontal blinds. His is prompt and courteous. The installer does a great job in record time. They clean up after themselves. Tom is always up on the latest improvements in window treatments. It is always a pleasure doing business with him. Most of his products come with a lifetime guarantee. I will be using him many more times in the future. There is a discount with coupons or by being a repeat customer.

Ruth brought a lot of nice samples and were helpful picking the right colors and materials for me. She understood my concern of price and gave me a detailed comparison of cost for different curtains. After I made the decision, a place was ordered. The curtains came and I wasn't 100% satisfied with the length (due to my rods and floor, not their fault). Ruth and her assistant Sandy made extra efforts to fix the situation and made sure I was happy. My dining room and living room look beautiful with the curtains they provided.
Description of Work: Responded quickly to my request for an in-home consultation. Measured the windows and brought samples and then installed the blinds that were ordered.

I did not cost anything to have them come out to the house. They were great when they came out to the house and they were very helpful. They had a great selection of things. The woman that came out was very helpful and had a large selection of things. The order got messed up; the blinds that came in were the wrong size, so we are just waiting for the blinds to come in. I would use them again.

We waited 7 years to do this. In the meantime we had many estimates that were way too expensive with no company actually able to figure out what to do with the angled wall. It was a relief to get the product we needed quickly and at a very reasonable price!
Description of Work: We had a rather unusual issue...a sunroom with 5 large (70"x45") windows at an angle + another vertical wall of windows. After much deliberation the angled wall required the application that would be used on a skylight. Our sales rep worked over the phone and e-mail for 2 hours with a company in CA to get us a good price and a product that would work. The product arrived in a very timely fashion and the installers were awesome. The work was done, they cleaned up, and we can now enjoy the sunroom anytime of day!

A consultant came to my home and measured my windows, showed me samples of various styles and fabrics. She gave me a detailed estimate as to cost and time for installation. A couple of weeks later I was notified that my blinds were ready and scheduled a date for installation. The installers arrived at the stated time and quickly installed my blinds and reviewed with me how to use them and care for them.

Their rep came out and showed us what blinds they had to offer. We picked some out for a bay window. They had them shipped to my residence and then I installed them. They look really nice. Their service was just fine. The way they come out to your home and brought all of their offerings was helpful. The salesperson was very nice.

Thanks for the review! Our shop-at-home model is based on the fact that you never know what your window treatments will look like until you see them in your own window. We're glad you benefitted from this and so happy to hear you had a great experience with our consultant. Also, though we offer competitively priced installation, thanks for reminding our customers that we are flexible - even the do-it-yourselfers can feel free to do their own installation of custom treatments!

They were excellent. The first guy was a little newer to the field, but they made arrangements for another guy to finish it up. They did really great. In my case, they needed someone else who was more experienced since they confronted some unusual situations.
