Nate extended my in-home warranty by a year in case I have further problems with the blind he repaired and saved me a trip and parts charge for the living room blinds. He was courteous and professional, and I'm very pleased with the service call.
Description of Work: One of the new blinds Little Blind Spot installed a week ago didn't lift properly, so Nate stopped by to fix it. Afterward, he inspected my 10-year-old Hunter-Douglas blinds in the living room and replaced two cords and brackets because they were wearing out.

Problem-free except for the estimate. I called Blind Spot for comparison shopping after receiving an estimate from someone else. I gave the staffer the manufacturer's item number and window dimensions. She quoted a very low price and I asked if that included the lift system. It didn't. With the lift system added, the estimate was still $130 lower so I made an appointment. The salesperson could not match the phone estimate because it was based on a regular--not light-blocking--version. When light-blocking was added, the Blind Spot's price came to a few dollars of the other one. When I said I would go with the first bid since that salesperson had done the work for the sale, she waived the installation fee. I have no way of knowing if the pricing was deceptive or a well-intentioned mistake, but it made me uneasy.
Description of Work: Installed Hunter-Douglas honeycomb shades for two bedroom windows.

Unfortunately it is increasingly difficult to price products over the phone. There are so many options available that can affect the price. Let me reassure you that Michelle was acting in your best interests to find a way to get the price back down to what you were expecting. Thank you for your business and for your honest evaluation.

We had a great experience with Little Blind Spot. We are very happy with the quality, appearance, and operation of the new shades we purchased. We got good advice on what type of operating mechanism to select for the two very large windows in the family room. One of the large shades was not working smoothly at first, and Little Blind Spot returned immediately to work on it and then ended up ordering replacement parts, which were installed on a return trip. It works very well now, and we were so pleased with the prompt attention to, and successful resolution of the problem. The restrung, older shades are now in great shape again.
Description of Work: We purchased Hunter Douglas Duette shades for our family room from Little Blind Spot. Little Blind Spot installed the new shades and also restrung two other, older shades.

I called first for an estimate using the dimensions of the blind. I was told which brands they could not service. After dropping off the blind I was given an estimate of one week but was called five days later for pick-up. Honestly, the replacement cords and cord locks appear to be of higher quality than the original parts. With two other blinds in the same room, I wouldn't hesitate to have Little Blind Spot repair them when necessary.
Description of Work: Two out of three cords on a pleated blind were broken and needed replacement. All three cords were replaced along with the cord locks that bind them together.

It went better than we thought it would. We had the shade installed quickly and without any problems. The shade is very easy to use and we are very satisfied with it and the company.
Description of Work: We needed a new window covering for our patio door because we had just painted our family room and took the vertical blinds down. Michelle came out and gave us a very completive price for a 74" lite rise honeycomb shade and could install it in a very short time. Little Blind Spot was very professional and even installed the shade a few days earlier than quoted. We would definitely use them again.

One of the strings broke on our "Applause" blind for our patio door. I called Little Blind Spot (from whom we have purchased other blinds) and asked what to do. They gave me instructions for taking down the blind, and gave me a price estimate. Using their instructions, we had no trouble taking it down. When I took it in, they reaffirmed the price I'd gotten over the phone, and said that if the lock needed to be replaced it would be an additional $5. I said "fine!". It was ready in the time frame stated (1 week). They did replace the lock, and the price was exactly as described. The work has a 1-year guarantee, which I had not expected.

Now my blinds all look very funny because they said they were a different size than the rollers really were. I also wanted a gray blue color and they sold me a color that was wrong and it didn't let any light through. They have sort of beat around the bush about helping me out. They were kind of snotty about it and they won't give me my money back.

UNFORTUNATELY THE BLUE COLOR THIS MEMBER FIRST SELECTED FOR ONE OF HER SHADES WAS DISCONTINUED BY THE MANUFACTURER. SHE MADE A NEW SELECTION AND WHEN THE SHADE ARRIVED WAS NOT HAPPY WITH THE COLOR. WE OFFERED AT THAT TIME TO TAKE IT BACK AND REFUND HER MONEY BUT SHE WANTED TO TRY TO LIVE WITH IT. WE NEVER HEARD FROM HER AGAIN UNTIL WE READ THIS REPORT. SHE HAS RETURNED THE SHADE AND WE HAVE REFUNDED HER MONEY IN FULL AS WE HAD FIRST OFFERED. THE DIAMETER OF A ROLLER SHADE VARIES DEPENDING ON THE THICKNESS OF THE SELECTED FABRIC. WE HAD GIVEN HER AN ESTIMATION. THE MEMBER TOLD US THAT SHE IS FINE WITH THEM. -KIM HAINES, PRESIDENT

I'm very satisfied with the Little Blind Spot. Michelle was very efficient and helpful in choosing colors, styles, and explaining all the different cord and shade options. In about an hour, she priced out shades for a dozen windows. From the time I placed my order to installation was 2-3 weeks. After the shades were installed, I noticed a few were a little crooked and the top-down part of some of the cordless shades would not stay where I positioned them. The Little Blind Spot sent someone out within a week or so and all the problems were fixed. It's been about 6 months since installation, and I'm very happy with my shades. They were the only company I called, so I don't know how their prices compare to other companies.
Description of Work: I purchased 7 top-down/bottom-up honeycomb shades from the Little Blind Spot. Michelle came to my house with samples, measured my windows, explained the different shade options and told me what was available in different price ranges. I went with the higher end option for 4 windows, and the lower-priced option for 3 windows. I think the higher end was Hunter Douglas Duette and the lower priced were Hunter Douglas Applause. We chose some shades with the LiteRise cordless system and some with the UltraGlide cord system (cord stays same length no matter the position of the shade).

We were very pleased. Penny was very pleasant, there was a lot of commotion going on while she was here, but she handled it well. The price was less than I expected as our living room window is quite large. I would have liked to have seen other options, but given all the circumstances, it was fine. We were surprised how quickly the product came in and the installation was scheduled within days. The installation was free because of the coupon on Angie's list. We have a few other windows to treat. We will call The Little Blind Spot again.
Description of Work: Penny came to our home, recommended appropriate window treatments for our living room picture window and the den in the adjoining room. She recommended applause blinds in a neutral color. She provided a price and said they would be in in 2-4 weeks. Less than 2 weeks later, they called to say the blinds were in. We set up an installation date. The installer was right on time, it took him about 15 minutes to install.

Overall, it was fantastic. I first dealt with Penny Rohrbacher who came out on time, right away appreciated what I was doing with the room, and made excellent recommendations. I visited the showroom, and the people there were friendly and helpful, without any pressure. I had the blinds ordered, and they arrived on time. The person who came out to install them was an hour early, but since I work out of my home, this was no problem. Installation was quick and good. About a week after, I had a little trouble with one of the blinds, and Little Blind Spot sent someone out, and the problem was taken care of. They will come out for any problem for free the first year, and after that, I'll need to take the blinds in for repair, but there is a lifetime guarantee on them. This is family-run business, and their employees are treated well, and it shows. They are worth every penny! I got three bids, and theirs was maybe $30 more.

Michelle was prompt, knowledgeable, and efficient. She quickly sorted through the many products and features now available to advise me on which best fit my room and budget. The shades were ready when promised. The installer did an expert job and went the extra mile by removing old curtain hardware from the windows and fixing the cord on a shade in another room without charge. I am delighted with the look and function of my new shades and would work with Little Blind Spot again.

SALES PERSON, MICHELLE FORSETH, WAS VERY KNOWLEDGEABLE, AND HELPFUL IN CHOOSING DESIGN AND TYPE OF BLIND FOR EACH ROOM, AND SHE WAS HAPPY TO ALLOW US TO SPREAD OUR ORDER OVER SEVERAL MONTHS. A DEPOSIT IS REQUIRED, WHICH IS STANDARD PRACTICE IN THE INDUSTRY. BLINDS WERE USUALLY READY FOR DELIVERY IN TWO TO THREE WEEKS. I INSTALLED ONE SET OF BLINDS, BUT RECOMMEND THEIR PROFESSIONAL INSTALLATION FOR A FINISHED LOOK. THE SAME COMPANY HAS STORES IN BLOOMINGTON AND ST. CLOUD. MERCHANDISE CARRIES A ONE-YEAR WARRANTY. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS COMPANY.
