A Shade Above Window Fashions was founded in 1984 under the name Window Coverings To Go. Our new name emerged after a corporate change in 2005. In 2000, we had the distinction of becoming the first Hunter Douglas Window Gallery. Today there are nearly 475 Galleries in the nation, and abroad. Throughout the past 29 years, our unique showroom environment and product knowledge has helped thousands of consumers select the right window covering for their home.
Installer arrived and was excellent but the bill was $200.00 more than agreed on. Called the office and they said the dimensions were different than when job was priced but could not tell me what they were. My problem was that at no time did I receive a call, email about the price change . Eventually after much discussion the agreed to split the cost.If I hadn’t waited 7 weeks for the materials I would have refused the order. So please confirm and reconfirm your price before you accept delivery as you may be up charged.

They have a nice show room where I was able to see full size samples of their different shutters and Bruce was very helpful in explaining the options. (Although location wise, it is a bit off the beaten path, I got to se the new Hardrock Hotel and learn that there are cows in Broward!) I had some specific questions/concerns about how the shutters would be installed relative to existing window moldings and they sent a very knowledgeable tech out to my house to explain. ($75 fee refundable against purchase). It took a couple of weeks longer than their original estimate for the shutters to be manufactured and then installed (perhaps due to Thanksgiving holiday but got them well before Christmas). Installation crew was great! I would say overall installation experience was perfect. New Shutters look and work great!

I took my Hunter Douglas blinds to A Shade Above fully expecting that they would have to be sent back to the company for repairs but with this teams expertise they were able to repair them on the spot while I waited. The blinds were over 8 feet wide and cumbersome. In my opinion, they went the extra mile and unloaded and loaded my blinds. They also took the time to give me tips on how to rehang my blinds more easily. I have purchased different Hunter Douglas products from A Shade Above and all of the employees have always proven to be very knowledgeable, professional, and friendly. They are my "go to" guys for window coverings and I always recommend them to my friends!

Fine, until after we placed a deposit. They got the pricing wrong on one of the blinds we ordered which was a substantial price difference from what we were originally quoted and wouldn't work with us to lower the price despite the fact that it was their error. We ended up having to switch to a lower-priced category in one room. We had them installed yesterday and they got 2 similar rooms mixed up, so now we are waiting for additional verticals to come in for our bedroom and a new valance. Their installers left an absolute mess behind, which was very unprofessional. I am not expecting to eat off the floors after they are done, but at least sweep up the dust and pick up all the pieces of packaging Nothing in their business is computerized, so they can't easily look up an order. We spent a lot of money here for us and and there were too many mistakes that are still being worked out. Other people seemed to give them A ratings, but unfortunately we did not have that positive experience.

Their service person, Vince Fertile, is THE BEST, and he always has an assistant with him. They had the part they needed and repaired the vertical blind on site. I had to wait almost two weeks, but I was told this when I called to schedule. I was told what the charge would be - and it was not one cent more. They have ALWAYS been great to work with and done a superb job...from choosing, to measuring and ordering, to installing...and now repair. I have nothing negative to say about this company... Bruce, Elliot, Vince...they are a class act. No crap about needing to take the blind to a factory authorized repair site... They know what they're talking about, they're honest and their work is perfect!
Description of Work: When we built our home they did every window treatment in the house, and did an excellent job at an excellent price. They returned about two years ago to replace a horizontal blind that had broken (not their fault)... This time they were repairing the chain pull on our Family Room verticals.

Bruce has always been good to me - not only by giving me very reasonable quotes - but also by providing me with excellent customer service from start to finish. His employees are very professional - they arrived on time, cleaned up thoroughly afterwards and did an excellent job in the process ! I would highly recommend this company to anyone who wants to improve their window treatments in any way, shape or form !!!
Description of Work: I have used this provider twice in the past 2 years - first for plantation shutters for our front door - second for roll down shades in our master bedroom - and I will be getting another quote for vertical blinds for the Living Room in the very near future !

I was pleased with the service from beginning to end. The installer noticed that two of th blinds, were not what I ordered He left them up until the corrected version came in which took a couple of weeks. No payment was required until the correction was made. I love my blinds and would use them again.

I called to get an estimate. I knew what I wanted and the sizes I needed. I was told that I would have to visit the store to look at all the samples to make sure I knew what I wanted before they would give an estimate. I agreed to come in. Both my wife and I went to the store location. We walked in and there were two associates sitting at desks working with what I would hope were customers. Both saw us walk in but no one acknowledged our presence. I figured I would start looking at some samples that were on the floor. Both my wife and spent about 10 minutes walking around but were completely invisible to the staff that was present. No acknowledgement- nothing. Given that this was probably a sign of things to come we both decided to look at other options and left.

I am sorry for your negative experience in regards to your visit to the showroom and our unresponsiveness while working with other people at our work stations. The flow of our showroom traffic is normally very suitable for our customers. I feel badly about the timing of your visit. We do give phone quotes for people who have sizes and a specific product in mind. It was highly unusual that didn't occur in your case. Our normal business hours are 10-6 Mon-Sat and no appointment is needed. We do not hesitate to make after 6pm or Sunday appointments for customers who can’t come in during regular hours or prefer an appointment. Our showroom model is the way to meet our customer’s expectations. Viewing and operating over a 100 different style blinds and shades helps our customers to make the best choice to cover their windows. I hope we have another opportunity to give you the attention you need and deserve. Bruce Abramson President

Bruce was amazing! My husband and I have no idea what we're doing. After we told him what we needed to use it for, Bruce took us right to the product we needed. Not only that, he took into consideration our budget...who does that? He didn't force on us the most expensive item. Next, we needed a valance...again, my husband and I know little. We had no time to go to a fabric store to pick fabric. A Shade Above has a very good selection of fabric and Bruce helped us select the perfect color. All based on a picture we brought of the room. The shades and fabrics are of high quality. The installation took little time and his expert installation person, Emilio, left our home spotless. I will definitely use A Shade Above in the future and you should too.
Description of Work: Bruce helped us pick out the proper shades for our needs. It was a bit complicated. We needed blinds that would cover a huge space of doors and sliding glass doors. They would have to be able to "black out" for entertainment purposes, open (like a blind) for some privacy and also draw up, for complete exposure. We also needed A Shade Above to create a valance to cover the top.

When we closed on our new home, we contacted the company that had installed plantation shutters and blinds in our previous home to get an estimate for the new house. The price seemed high, and the lead time - 3 to 4 months - seemed excessive. I went on Angie's List and found A Shade Above, and we are so happy! We liked that they have a large showroom so you can actually see the various types of window treatments, and fabric selection wasn't limited to what the salesperson brings to the house, which is usually the case. We ordered plantation shutters for the slider (approx. 8' by 8') and a very large window in our bedroom, along with a triple dining room window. Faux wood blinds went into the home office, back bedroom and two bathrooms, and fabric shades were installed on the large (8'x8') slider in the family room, as well as several other windows in the kitchen and family room. Our new home has great views and we didn't want to block those views, so Bruce recommended the fabric shades with cassettes that blend right into the window frame. He worked with us to find just the right color and texture, and we could not be more pleased! The window treatments seem to disappear when not in use, and are attractive to look at and provide just enough privacy for us in the evenings. Everything was installed in just under 4 weeks and we felt the price was fair, especially when you factor in the Angie's List discount. I'm in real estate and my clients often asked for recommendations. I won't hesitate to send them to A Shade Above.

Highly recommend. This company was recommended to me by my mother, who loved them. They are organized, punctual, knowledgable, have a great show room with a vast variety of window treatments. I have always worked with Elloit, who made the process and selection a breeze. They were clean and fast when they came to install the blinds, plus they took my old blinds to throw away for me. The blinds I selected are a little pricey, but that is purely preferenece. They have low priced blinds all the way up to the best of the best. My blinds are high quality and beautiful. I always get compliments about them. I installed blackout honeycomb shades in my bedroom because I work over night and sleep during the day. They are beyond what I expected and are very stylish, which is hard to find with blackout shades. Great company with great quality window treatments.

They have done the work for us in the past when we first bought the house and they had put mini blinds for us. They did a very nice job then. We were kind of curious as to whether they were still around and we looked them up. They are the same people working here. They are doing an excellent job. They started the work when they said. We had mini blinds for 22 years and it was time for an upgrade. They did a very good job. So far, everything has been good.
Description of Work: Window Coverings to Go came and installed blinds for us. They have put 33 blinds for the whole house.
