They were wonderful. The cost covered my small sliders on the side and the three panel one in the back. The price was fair. You got your money's worth. It wasn't a huge bargain and it wasn't a ripoff. It was what I expected to pay for the quality I got. I was not upset at all about the price. The quality is excellent. They were very prompt. When they said they were coming, they came. It was exactly what they said. They told me it was going to take two and a half weeks, and it took two and a half weeks. They sat down with me and showed me all of the different choices in front of the window.
Description of Work: They put in those mesh shades on the doors that go out to my lanai. They put them in the sliders so that I could keep the sun out of my living room. Our back faces west, so the sun comes in real bright in the afternoon, and I didn't want to lose the view that we have of the pond.

Everything went smoothly. The shades are well constructed and fit perfectly. The installer was late, but phoned to inform us and to give us a revised time.

It was very positive. We used them when we were in Florida last winter. There was a problem, but they corrected it, and went the extra mile. They deducted some from our bill, and I think they did a great job.

Got a couple of other quotes for sliders, windows and doors treatments and were provided with many options. AIH was very detailed and was the best price option when all was said and done. They provided a written quote and said it would be between 2-3 weeks before they could install the selected items. Custom / semi custom for al five products. Two and a half weeks they were on site and the installer Dustin did a great job. He explained what he was going to do and the sequence to include the time frame. Perfect shutters, frames etc. and an equally perfect installation. It was exactly what we hoped it would be and it meet our expectations in all aspects of the process. AIH was very knowledgeable , professional, and the price was a positive surprise. It is a family owned and run business. There were other very good companies that we interviewed but I would not hesitate to call AIH again without shopping it around this time. They were simply great to work with, pleasant, and with a great pricing!
Description of Work: Measured, suggested, showed samples, explained process answered questions and they use in house installers. Provided pricing to include taxed & non tax on some permanently installed products. Al the owner did the product presentation and pricing workup on site.

I had called several other blind repair companies, and all of them made excuses as to why they couldn't do the job - the job was too small, I lived too far away, they were too busy. I checked Angie's List and found that AIH Drapery and Blind Service had excellent ratings so I decided to give them a call. Tammy answered the phone and scheduled a service call for December 23. The repairman arrived on time and immediately began to assess the problem. He fixed the blind in no time at all, and reinstalled it for me. He was efficient, polite, and did an excellent job for me. I would highly recommend AIH for any blind or drapery issue you have. They will have my business in the future!

Al (The owner) came out to do the measuring. He obviously knew his profession as he made suggestions for sizing that would insure a good install. These would be custom sized/made blinds with a 25% discount for Angie's List members. The other companies I got estimates from were going to give me standard sizing only, but also offered a 25% discount for members. AIH offered a much better price for the products I needed than the other companies did.. The original estimate was about 3 weeks to get the blinds in. There was an issue with it being a back order and they had to cancel thee initial install date. When Jeff called me to tell me he was very apologetic. I told him I has already taken down the dining room drapes in preparation for the install. He immediately offered to come and rehang them so I would have privacy until the order came in. The blinds were installed today. Jeff (owner's son) showed up on time, did a great installation job, showed me the features of the blinds, cleaned up and told me to call any time if I had any questions. The whole process from date of measurements to install was a little over 3 weeks. It was a genuine pleasure to work with this family owned company. I would highly recommend them.

Everything went as scheduled without delays. Al was very professional and knowledgeable about all the products. He had samples of everything and made selection easy. We were able to get everything ordered and installed before we moved in. Everything looks great. We needed one adjustment on a shutter that they responded to quickly. I would definitely recommend them to anyone who wants to purchase window treatments.
Description of Work: Whole house window treatments on new construction. Al was great with recommendations. We put shutters in four locations and they look terrific and the quality is great. We put shades on two sets of sliders. All rooms required some window treatment including the garage.

This is one of the best companies that we have ever used. Having just moved to Florida and experiencing contractor h*** for a year, this company was a breath of fresh air. They went above and beyond to make us happy with our purchase. They are professional, punctual and so very pleasant to work with. The price was the most reasonable that we found. We had an issue with the shades that were installed on our lanai. The material did not quite cover the opening and let a small beam of light pass through. Jeff didn't miss a beat. He came up with the solution of adding a piece to the frame of our pool cage and the problem was solved. Having just gone through a terrible ordeal with a landscaping company (Blue Sky in Sarasota), we wanted to hold a small amount of money back until the job was completed. His response was, "don't pay me at all until the job is finished". What!!! That is unheard of. We highly recommend AIH and will use them anytime that we have window covering needs. THEY ARE THE BEST!

Al came out to measure the windows and discuss what I wanted in window treatments. He was prompt and professional. Al had wonderful suggestions and spent quite a bit of time with me while we chose what fabric looked best. This is a family owned business and I could tell immediately how much pride Al takes in the business. I never felt rushed and he patiently explained all my options. Al then took measurements and told me that the shades would be ready sooner than the cornice boards. He asked if I would prefer to have the installation done all at once or if I wanted the shades installed when they were finished. Most places do not give you that option because they do not want to come out twice. I was very pleased. Jeff, Al's son, called two weeks later and said the blinds were ready. He came out to install them and was as prompt, friendly and professional as his dad was. He took time to show me exactly how to operate the remote controlled blinds and to show me several different ways I could use them. He cleaned up when he was finished and moved the chairs back in place. Jeff told me the cornice boards would be finished soon and set the date to return the following week to install them. Once again, he showed up on time and set to work. He held up the cornice boards and made sure I was happy with the height before installing them. The cornice boards are BEAUTIFUL and I am thrilled. Jeff left my house neat and clean. He showed me how to change the batteries in the remote controlled shades and said he would always stop by and change them for me if I had any trouble. I have a few more windows that need window treatments and I will absolutely go straight to AIH. I cannot recommend this company enough. They are absolutely WONDERFUL!
Description of Work: Installed 7 silhouette window shades and 5 cornice boards. Three of the shades are with a wireless remote, which is why the cost is what it is.

Previous owner had left the blinds on 4 sliding glass doors to outside. Slats had fallen off, causing us to believe that the product was inferior and should be replaced for upwards of $2,000. To his credit, Al from AIH convinced us that the existing product was of high quality but had not been used properly and only required adjustment so that there was no need to purchase from AIH (or anyone else) new blinds. So AIH performed the work described, including some new slats and adjustments, saving us the high cost of replacement.

The wood blinds were finished within two weeks of the order, and were installed right away, which gave us some privacy in a construction zone, which was nice. The drapes took about 5 weeks, and were installed today. The installer was here for roughly five hours and was meticulous with his measurements. We could not have been more pleased with the attention to detail by both the sales staff and the installers. We were kept informed of what the next step would be and given ample time to prepare for installation. Our home looks fabulous!
Description of Work: After moving into a new home, AIH came to our home and consulted on draperies for the living room and master bedroom, as well as Hunter Douglas wood blinds. The price that was quoted for the blinds was $200 less than the quote for the same product at a big box store. In addition, they accepted the Angie's list 25% off coupon.

Call was returned promptly and appointment set up. Then when measured and gave us a bid, I asked about the Angie's coupon. He said he had already applied a discount more than the coupon. Therefore the coupon was worthless. The bid was over $500.00 more for the same product and I have used the other company before and they did a good job, so I went with the other company. I did not like the way he dismissed the price off hand. It made me wonder if I could trust the company. I just thought that with the coupon maybe AIH could do better. I was wrong.
Description of Work: Measured and bid for blinds for 11 windows. He was punctual ,but when asked about Angies coupon he said he was giving a bigger discount than that. We had a bid earlier for $500 less than his bid.

Response from AIH Custom Window Treatments
With all due respect, while we appreciated the positive comments, we don't agree with the negative comments. We gave [member name removed] a written quote for 11 custom made 2" polymer blinds by Kathy Ireland Alta, for a total of $1595.00 which we discounted to $1132.00. [member name removed] elected to purchased cut down ready mades of much inferior quality. When I recently contacted [member name removed] to discuss the negative review, He stated " I did not write it my wife did." as I recall I did not discuss this job with his wife at all. When I mentioned to him he had puchased something entirely different and of inferior quality, he said "They look the same." We pride ourselves in excellence, quality and service.
Jeff did a great job installing shutters and vertical blinds. I've used AIH at least 3 different times and would recommend them to anyone. Their workmanship is great and their prices are compatible. | | | | |

I was really happy with him. The guy was on time; his prices were right and were very professional. I compared his prices with other company and they were like 20% less. He was just much more thorough. The company sent somebody who came through, measured and told me nothing about why I needed to repair the blinds I had or anything. He was professional, helpful, punctual, responsive and the price was fantastic (20% less) compared to other estimates that I got. He took time to ask me a lot of questions that the other guy didn’t ask like which side I wanted the drapery draw or never helped me at all but this guy helped me with everything. I would highly recommend him.

Three weeks later Jeff called to say he would be here on Tuesday between noon and 1pm. At about 1:30 Jeff called that day and said he was running late. He arrived about 2pm and immediately went to work. After installing the first plantation shutter my wife and I agreed that we couldn't have been happier with Al's suggestion. Jeff finished installing the other shutter and shade. The installation time was about 2 hours. The work was fantastic. Both Al and Jeff were very professional and we will certainly use them again on future projects. I wish I knew about them when we were having quotes done for window blinds in the rest of the house.
Description of Work: We called AIH to come out for suggestions on how to block the sun for our 3 panel pocket door, and the same for our two bathroom windows. Al suggested poly resin plantation shutters for the bathrooms which should hold up well in the wet showers, and a honeycomb shade top-mounted to provide light, yet block the heat, for the pocket door. We hadn't considered a horizontal shade before, and would never have thought of plantation shutters for the showers. We decided to go ahead with both suggestions and Al gave us a 2 1/2 to 3 week lag time to have the window treatments made.
