When I called to make an appointment they were able to be to my house within a week. There was no rush to pick out blinds, no pressure to purchase ones which were more costly. I was not sure what to have installed on the patio doors and the sales rep was able to help me pick out window blinds which are working great. Delivery time was as estimated and fit my schedule well. Overall, I was extremely pleased with everything about this company. Very professional, very punctual and terrific quality.
Description of Work: We had wood blinds installed throughout the house. In addition, we had two patie doors which needed new blinds.

Michael had competitive prices and with some of the less common brands, he could provide a very resonable price. He had other brands than just the big name brands that he could provide. We were able to use a combination of brands and styles to get exactly what we wanted. Because of the different brands and styles, the lead-times were not the same but Michael worked with us to get them installed at our convenience. We will use him in the future and would recommend him to anyone that needs blinds.
Description of Work: We had a number of companies come out to give us quotes for the whole house.

They were very friendly helpful and it was pleasure doing business with them.
Description of Work: We wanted one blind replaced in the bathroom. They came out and measured it and then sent us the blind. It is a good quality product. We put it up ourselves and it has been working ever since!

Excellent service from the beginning to end: coming out to the house to measure, assisted in the selection of drapes/colors, and provided a competitive quote, low key sales approach, reasonable wait time for drapes to be custom made, installation was professional, and done with care. End result: high quality drapery that looks beautiful.
Description of Work: Installed new drapery for living room and dining room.

Michael came out to our house twice to help us understand what we needed to order and what would suit our style and budget. We are thrifty, DIY, coupon toting people and Michael's prices were fair and we know we got great quality for our money. He and his wife came out on Saturdays, perfect for my husband and I who both work crazy downtown jobs, and were really flexible and accommodating to our schedule. The quality of the product is great and we used our 10% off Angie's List price. I was referred to Michael from our general contractor and am so pleased we worked with his business. His installer Rick even installed all of our curtain rods for only $5 a bracket - it was wonderful to cross so many items off our honey-do list so quickly. Flexibility, quality, value, trust, service and product superiority all make Michael the absolute best choice for window treatments. Thank you for everything!
Description of Work: We got three sets of white wood slat blinds and three sets of top down, bottom up fabric honeycomb blinds for $1,400. Some of these were big, picture windows so the price seemed very fair. All products were Hunter Douglas.

Mr. Mike and Mr. Shirley came with samples galore and spent much time helping to find the right fabric. Mr. Rick came to install drapes and despite a small snag, got it all done - on time and well done.

Mike and Shirley came by our home to take measurements and to give us an estimate. They called in a advance to let me know they were running late, by about 10 minutes. The only problem with the whole experience was that they weren't always on the same page while taking measurements and giving us the estimate. As they were giving us the estimate, they suggested waiting an extra week to place the order, so that we could take advantage of a manufacturer's deal. We really appreciated this, as it saved us some money. A few weeks later, the installer, Rick, called to let us know our blinds were in and that he would be in the area the next afternoon. The whole process took about 5 weeks (including the extra week wait for the manufacturer's deal). Overall, I am happy with the final product.
Description of Work: We purchased new blinds for one window and replaced the blinds on four other windows.

Michael is very rude and very unprofessional. His measurements were wrong, therefore the blinds ordered were wrong. The installer couldn't read the order form and I had to walk him through it. We ended up with one blind that didn't fit any of our windows. When we told him the blinds were wrong and asked him to come out and remeasure, but he was adamant that his measurements were correct and that it was a manufacturer mistake. However, when the new blind came it was wrong again. Now there are huge gaps on both sides of the windows where the light pours in every morning on several windows. I think he should rename his company "Problems and Mistakes by Michael Esch". I'd never use him again.

Response from Custom Drapery & Blinds by Michael Esch
After reading this report, we felt embarrassed and ashamed. We immediately contacted the customer asked her what we could do to remedy the situation. I was taken aback that it took a year for her to post this negative report. (Job completed in May of 2011.). After we reordered and reinstalled the mismeasured blind, we assumed all was well, having not heard from her again. We offered to redo whatever she wanted to try and make this right. She declined. We reiterated that is important to us to have satisfied customers. She appreciated my call but was unwilling to allow us to try and satisfy her concerns....

They were pleasant and on time. I had no problems with the estimate, but somebody else came in with a lower price. Otherwise, I would have used them. I had used them probably 20 years ago when I bought little blinds. My experience with them went on fine.

They came out to the house. We looked at many samples. He measured all the windows & provided an estimate on the spot. Not long after that we got a call to schedule the installation. The blinds look great! Hoping to be able to call him back again soon to finish the basement!
Description of Work: They first came out in the spring of 2010 and did blinds for my main level. Was so happy with the results we had them back again in the spring of 2011 to do all the blinds in the second level.

It went really well. When I did replace the vertical blinds I had in my living and dining room, I got double valance so when they took the old ones down, there were holes left in the wall. He sent the guy to put the blinds back up, painted over it and everything looked brand new. Mike is very friendly and I have known him for many years.

Michael and his wife arrived at my house and we talked about which rooms I was thinking about doing. They took measurements and then we discussed which product they felt would work best for me. Michael helped me with color selections as well. The price for three rooms exceeded my budget, but Michael did not make me feel bad about my decision to stick with my budget. I ended up ordering blinds for only 2 rooms. Michael gave me an estimated date of when the blinds would be ready. The blinds actually arrived a few days earlier than predicted. The installer call me and set up an appointment after work. He arrived on time and took down the existing shades before installing the new ones. The blinds fit perfectly and I have been using the blinds for several months now without any issues. I will definitely contact Custom Drapery and Blinds when I am ready to redo additional rooms.
Description of Work: This is the 2nd time I have ordered window treatment from Custom Drapery and Blinds (I am slowly working my way thru the house). This time I ordered Hunter Douglas Honeycomb Shades for 3 bedroom windows at a cost of around $1000. The cost included professional installation.
