We were referred to this company by our neighbor but also checked them out on Angie's list, we agreee that they were he most cost effective competiative around. We have our own biz on Angie's list and know how important the reviews are in terms of honesty and couldn't fault the reviews we read of them. From stat to finish amazing the time frame was eacatly as Hassan had said it would be and the qauility and finish exactly as he stated. Josh was amazing also totally professional beyond and above. We are now in the process of completing the rest of the house so far two large doors and two large windows. Waiting for 6 more large windows with arches i just wish i had more windows for them to do!

From the time I called, Assan was professional & knowledgeable. He was punctual & courteous. And as promised in 3 weeks, Josh, the installer was on the phone to keep me updated about his arrival. He was also professional & courteous. I would absolutely hire this company again. Shutters are beautiful!

He called a few minutes prior to what was scheduled and asked to reschedule, started that he was behind. Told him hat wouldn't work for me and said he would try to work it out. He worked it out and was able to show up, though he was late. Seemed very nice, got to work right away measure everything and gave me an all inclusive estimate. He said I could also split up he installation to make the cost easier at no extra charge! I had another company come out and noticed that on the estimate he made a mistake and said one of the Windows had a window seal when it didn't. His price was cheaper (about $500) so I decided based on his estimate to go with his company. I ordered to install half the blinds now the other half later and told him of the seal error. The installer came out and the guy was super nice. He had a hard time installing my blinds due to the concrete and ended up having to use my drill bits as his kept braking and not working. I decided a few months later to finish the job and install the rest of the Blinds. The original estimate was $1518 after Angie's list discount (my first install I paid $1068, so I believed I would owe $450 based on the estimate and Hassan's claim that it wouldn't change the estimate). I received communication from Hassan I would owe $658.05. The math just didn't add up. He told me that since I split it up he no longer would give me the discount or the free installation. (Which was not what he told me prior) I also noticed with the cost he gave me it also appeared that his estimate didn't include tax though he said it did. He offered to reduce E my portion to $608.05 which I still found ridiculous. Several members of my family are contractors and said that his pricing is deceiving because you always include tax etc. I will go elsewhere for the other blinds and do not appreciate his condescending text messages "for the second time I am repeating myself"...I will never recommend you to anyone. Sometimes cheaper isn't better, go elsewhere I am for the final 3 Windows I would rather pay more for honest work
Description of Work: Pricing was not the same as it was on contract, he told me the cost included installation tax etc and I could even split up the installation and not extra cost...not the case

Josh was phenomenal and did an outstanding job to fit the main window covering into place. The curved top required some special work and Josh nailed it! That was the final piece of our master bath remodel, which we did ourselves.
Description of Work: American Blinds came out on 7/11/16 and measured / estimated 2 window coverings both coverings were odd - shaped. Josh came out on 8/10/16 and installed both coverings.

Contacted this company for an in home estimate. They called a couple times to try and come out saying they would be in the area and come by if they had time. Then they finally said they would be by Saturday from 8am - 12pm. The company never called or showed up. I called twice and after the second call I was sent straight to voicemail. I still never received a call or apology, as if people don't have anything better to do on a Saturday then wait around for a company not to call or provide status. At least the cable company will give you the courtesy of calling and updating you. Unreliable and highly unprofessional. Don't waste your time calling these people.

Response from American Blinds & Shutters Outlet
The customer notation clearly indicates that our company tried several times to make an appointment, but the customer could not be available. According to customer's note, we even tried Saturday appointment, which he believes he has more better things to do on Saturdays. Now he is giving our company an "F" for product quality. An "F" for Installation and an "F" for pricing in advance without even seeing us. We leave this to the readers to make their own judgments. Thank you American Blinds & Shutters Outlet.

First I read the review on Angie's List web site, then I called and set up an appointment. After deciding on the style and color, the salesman measured the windows. In about 3 - 4 weeks, he came and installed the shutters. Was a very easy process and the blinds look great.

You did not read the information about the big deal coupon. I explained to you that the big deal coupon does not cover window covering repairs. Once you understood the policy, we authorized a full refund and you did receive your money back. This was over 2 years ago and it was done by phone only. How come you gave us F for Price, F for punctuality, F for Quality and F for professionalism ? I let the readers make their own mind about unreasonable comments like this. Thank you Hassan

On June 13, 2014, we paid $393.26, Check # 1298 to American Blinds for a shade to fit an approximate 7? X 9? outdoor space. Hassan, owner of American Blinds, made several promises and guarantees that he did not fulfill and in addition to that, he was the most unprofessional service provider we have ever experienced. Hassan acted pompous, rude and was persistently sarcastic. We don?t know how he is still in business. First, he promised the shade would serve our specific desired purpose of blocking the wind from blowing in as he would install tracks on either side for the shade to follow through up and down. The shade that he installed after 3 attempts has a 2 inch gap between itself and the tracks and simply blows all over the place. Second, he promised the shade would be delivered and installed within 2 weeks. The shade was not delivered or installed until July 21, 2014, 5 weeks later, and it was installed by Hassan rather than professional installers which turned out to be an absolute debacle. Not only did Hassan not measure the space correctly, he also failed to install the side tracks that were to hold the shade in place. Additionally, Hassan had to take the shade back to the factory 2 times over the span of several days to get the shade re-cut to fit the space. Even now, the shade is too small for the space and does and remains 2 inches from the tracks on both sides. On his last attempt to install, he managed to cut his finger on something leaving blood all over our pool lanai without making any attempt to clean it up, he used no carpet underneath his ladder and left awful black scuff marks on our freshly painted lanai and he left small screws, plastic pieces and parts all over the lanai floor which my small dog could have swallowed and been injured. Each visit, Hassan left a mess from where he drilled into concrete. Dust everywhere with no attempt to sweep or clean his mess. This has been the most unprofessional experience I have ever witnessed. When Hassan finished his last install attempt, he realized the tracks were 2 inches from the shade on both sides and wanted to know if we wanted him to come back and try to install something else. We were so afraid to have this man back on our property to create even more havoc that we advised we would try to fix it ourselves. We asked if he would be giving a discount for his failures and he said to take off whatever we thought was fair after we went to Home Depot to buy the extra products to finish the install correctly. We, ourselves, spent approximately $100 in additional parts from Home Depot and several hours of labor to create additional 2 inch tracks on both sides to hold the shade in place but despite our efforts, the cheap, flimsy shade continues to bend and blow outside of the tracks letting the hot wind blow in. We have made many attempts to contact Hassan, asking him to refund our money and to remove the shade altogether. We have sent half a dozen text messages and left 2 voicemails with no response whatsoever. We simply want our money back and want to return the awful product full of false promises that we were provided. Any professional service provider would refund the money and remove the shade.
Description of Work: Failed on ALL levels to provide a small shade for a small job. Provided horrendous, unprofessional service. Just awful all the way around. DO NOT USE THIS COMPANY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Response from American Blinds & Shutters Outlet
Dear Angie’s List American Blinds & Shutters Outlet have been in business for almost 18 years. As the owner of this small business, I have always made sure to provide honest and good recommendations to our customers regarding their window covering needs. At the same time we have always tried to be very competitive in the market place by cutting overheads as well as unnecessary hands in delivering custom window covering to our customers. There are many many Angie’s list online reviews about me and our company to verify these claims. No wonder we are in the Angie’s List honor roll for over 3 years. Unfortunately no matter how good we take care of our customers, occasionally we come across some hard to satisfy customers. Fortunately we have had only a couple of these odd customers after years in business and thousands of Central Floridian who have done business with us. I initially showed up at Mrs. [removed member name] door right on the dot as I promised, not even a minute late. I carefully listened to what she liked to do in her back yard and I gave her several options. She finally picked up a fabric of her choice. She signed the sale slip and put a 50% deposit check. I also told her even though these shade do not come with side tracks, but I will find out how I can make this happen so the shade will not swing, when there is wind outside. The shade arrived, when she was out of town, but she made an installation date per her convenience and I was there right on the dot again. The installation was a very hard as it was outside on the concrete wall and between very tight walls with lot of other shades already mounted inches from the work area. I had to go back and forth 3 times in 2 days to finally successfully install the shade, which came out perfect. Mrs [removed member name] was standing there and monitoring me carefully every time I was there. She even expected me to put a rug under the ladder, because it may make a mark on her outdoor concrete floor ! She also expected me to dust off the floor after each drilling into the concrete, which I did follow her instructions and put a rug under the ladder and fully cleaned the work area, before taking off. When the job was done, she said she is so happy with the color of the fabric and she also said it operates pretty good after several times of testing, but she claimed that her check book is not in hand and she requested me to allow her to mail her final balance of $393.26 the next day. I even authorized her to give herself a small discount on the final balance, when she told me that she will go to Home depot and buy a wider side tracks and replace the one I installed. I handed her a self addressed stamped envelope for her convenience to mail her check. I received a long text message from her the next day that she does like this shade and she wants her money back. I also soon found out that she has posted a long complaint claiming that everything is bad and she just wants her money back. It is much to my astonishment to witness that a person resorts to so many lies and untruthful statements just to prove that she entitled to a refund. The shade installed is exactly what she ordered, now she claims that the shade is not the correct shade. Her claim to have purchased $100 of material from Home Depot is also baseless, unless she shows proof of payment and Home Depot receipt. I sent her a certified mail the next day, which she has declined to accept as of the date of this letter, but the same letter was mailed to her by first class mail. The letter clearly explains to her what the legal consequence will be, if she declines to pay the final balance minus a $100 as I agreed. The order form with her signature clearly shows in black and white what she ordered and I have copies of manufacturer’s order for the same shades. Any window covering professional can be called in to check the professionally installed shade in her back yard. There is no ambiguity and or confusion at all. She just enjoys to make life difficult for herself and others. Thats all. Once she end up paying court costs and legal fees she may learn for future. Truly, Hassan American Blinds & Shutters Outlet, Inc.
