They were okay. I had a little issue with them because, the person, I guess he was the owner too that came out to give me a demo or show me the blinds. It was like once I told him at the time, I was just doing two windows in my family room and he had bought in all that stuff. Then, once I said well, I'm only doing two windows, it was like he didn't want to show me the better stuff anymore, he wanted to show me the lower priced stuff. It was just a switch in attitude that I didn't like about that. I possibly would use the provider again.

First of all, company did not honor the "no questions asked replacement policy" that was initially sold to us, and then when I pointed out the fact that them accusing me of breaking my own blinds was unethical, they said that they won't even sell me the needed blinds, which were custom ordered. The reply I got via text is as follows..."Please use someone else- I don't care to work with you anymore! You called me unethical- If you care to apologize I will do the job for you." I believe such emotionally immature types should not be running a business when lacking basic customer skills.

Response from Budget Blinds of Charlotte
Mrs. [Member Name Removed] purchased window treatments from Budget Blinds in 2011, at which time she was given a "5-year No Questions Asked Warranty" which covers the product for ANY damage, whether caused by the customer or due to defective product. A few years ago a few of the vertical blind slats broke (customer's fault) and because the damage happened during the initial 5 years we got the replacements for free. After the 5 year warranty is over our products are covered by a Lifetime Warranty which covers any defects in the product, but does NOT COVER DAMAGE CAUSED BY THE CUSTOMER. All of these warranties are clearly explained to each customer when product is sold. Last week she contacted me to repair 2 more damaged vertical slats (broken by customer) and I told her the charge was $69 ($39 service call and $30 for replacement parts) to do the work. She asked why the lifetime warranty did not apply and when I explained this to Mrs. [Member Name Removed] she began to call me names (unethical and petty). At that point I told Mrs. [Member Name Removed] that I could not help her and to find another company to do the repairs. She then sent me a very rude text and we have had no further contact. My customers over the past 15 years in business know that I honor my word and my warranties! However I will not tolerate rude and disrespectful behavior.

Len was so easy to work with! When he came to install the blinds he found that one window was out of square and took the blinds back and ordered a completely different set to make sure that they fit perfectly. I am so pleased with the result.

They have done work at two of our houses and we have been happy with them. This window was over 100 inches wide. These windows are something you have to get something made for. They did a fantastic job. It was a whole lot cheaper than I thought it was going to be. They had done our entire home in 2001. They did blinds for every single window in that house. They did flat blinds. The work that was done in 2001, some of the clips broke in 2012, they came back and repaired the parts that had gone bad. They are guaranteed for life and they kept good on that.
Description of Work: They fitted and installed the blinds. They measured and provided custom blinds.

It was great, it worked out just fine. I remember I was on a tight deadline and they were able to get it done fast and get it installed and it looks great. Price wise, I thought that they were very reasonable. I don?t remember the price. I think I interacted with one or two people, I don?t recall. I don?t remember how long it took, but between the measuring, the estimate and the installation, it was faster than you would normally think. They were able to make it happen fast for me, turned it area quick. The area was left clean. They met my time frame.

They did work for us and they were splendid. It was about $2,600. The service was excellent. Their service was fantastic. Price was very good. They were right there on the mark. There were two workers that came out. It took maybe, 2 or 3 hours. They were very good. What they said they were going to do, they did. I would certainly use them again if I needed to.

They were good. It was a perfect experience. The price was ok but I got shutters so it was kind of expensive. You get what you pay for. Attention to detail, punctual, professional and have a sense of understanding about each one of their customers. There were 2 or 3 workers and they were good. They did a good clean up job. It was nice.

I was satisfied with the product. They only communicate through email. You can't call them, you only get a voicemail. I didn't like not speaking to someone over the phone. They were on time. The owner sent his son, who was a teenager, so he was very laid back. They left everything cleaned when they were finished. It took a couple of hours to install. I had to call them back to re-do the installation because the drapes were hanging too low causing them to wrinkle on the bottom.
