JOHN SIMMERS

These blinds were 25 years old. I checked at the a department store in Rosedale, where I'd ordered them originally to see about repair, not being very hopeful because of their age. They gave me John's number. I called, left a message and got a return call the same evening. Helen Simmers said their price is the same no matter what the size of the blinds. If I would remove them and bring them into the department store in Rosedale (drapery deptartment), they pick up there once a week. The cost for the 1st blind is $25 and any additional are $15 each. If I couldn't remove them and bring them in, John could come to the house and removed them for $50 for the first one and $25 for any additional ones. I was able to take them into the department store. I still had the wands that had broken off the metal attachment. John matched the color of the cords and restrung them and replaced the metal attachment for the wand. It's like I have new blinds. The lady at the department store told me that John is an installer for them and used to be an authorized repairman. Now blind companies want the blinds returned to the factory for warranty repair work. I feel like I discovered a real treasure in John.
