They were very professional and they went over all our options, they explained everything well, they were on time and they did a great job. I had the block out blinds which was kind of expensive. I got a 10-year guarantee and if we ever sell the house that passes along with it and I thought that was great. If there is any problem with anything they said to call and they will come out but I haven’t had any problems.

All communications with Apollo, whether in person or email, were handled by courteous professional individuals. Appointments were confirmed by email with a photo of the person who would be arriving. That was a first for me in dealing with any company and I appreciated knowing just who would be at my door. The draperies were completed and installed earlier than I anticipated and the results are beautiful. Would definitely call Apollo again for their excellent products and service.

Tina met with me at my home and discussed my needs and tastes, and carefully measured the windows that I wanted dressed. She gave me estimates on the price for each room, from low-end to high-end, and when I agreed to the price range, she brought in a huge selection of swatches for me to look through. I chose a beautiful silk for the living room and dining room and a less expensive fabric for the two bedrooms. She educated me on how I'd need to be especially careful with the silk fabric, explained the time-line and their guarantee and gave me a window of time to change my mind. When the drapes were ready for installation, Mr Engdahl called to set up an appointment, and I explained that I would be at work, but gave directions on how they could be installed while I was at work. Their son, Ryan, did the installation, and left a nice note explaining what he had done. The drapes are beautiful and really enhance my home, and Ryan did a wonderful job putting up new curtain rods and hanging the drapes and matching Roman shades. I'm happy I went with a very professional, highly rated provider, and it's clear that they are a very committed family business.
Description of Work: Made and installed custom draperies for the living room, dining room and two bedrooms as well as Roman shades for the living room.

From my initial call to exciting windows! by Apollo to the installation of my valences, I felt like my preferences and business mattered to this company. The follow-up to my initial call happened within 24 hours and an appointment was scheduled within the next 10 days. Tina spent considerable time getting to know a little about us, our home style/furnishings/colors, and our price range for the project. She presented my examples of valences made for customers by the company and also a picture of a wall of valences in a limited types of fabrics that helped narrow our style preferences (really like this!). She had ample samples of fabrics and trims and readily put these right next to our windows so we could visualize what they would like next to our walls and furnishings. She helped us narrow down the possibilities, but purposely left the final decision to us, for which I commend her. Installation occurred within the time frame stated by Tina; Ryan (I think) was on-time, efficient, and even steamed the valences to ensure they looked great. The use of an ipad for the selection process and billing was very thorough and efficient, much preferred over doing the same activities in a showroom. We are very pleased with our new valances and the entire experience in working with exciting windows! by Apollo!
Description of Work: exciting windows! by Apollo provided us with four window valences through a process that included getting to know us and our home; helping us finalize the style, fabric, and trim of the valences; and installing the completed valences.

One of the employees was overseeing the whole job. There was a small area that was messed up and it has been an inconveniences for me ever since. They changed the hardware and they covered up an outlet that I use quite often. I would give them a B-.
Description of Work: The workmanship was excellent and the curtains are still hanging.

Response from Exciting Windows! by Apollo
Apollo’s files go back 25 years. We do not have an order dating back to September 1998. Our file reflect that in December 2003 an order was placed. This order reflects Apollo completing a job for several rooms in the home. Our notes indicate that Apollo was asked to make traditional sheers, draperies and valances that were to be made to stretch corner to corner and installed ceiling to floor. Our records also indicate that we revisited the home in 2006 and in 2008 to service a traverse rod by replacing drapery hardware. Since 2008, we have not been notified of any further need to service the hardware. On June 17th, 2015, we reached out to [member name removed] to discuss her concerns and to offer a solution.

Tina Engdahl is a lovely, talented, knowledgeable, creative individual. She turned a rather drab space into an especially beautiful space...while incorporating our ideas into the plan. The workmanship of the draperies and the blinds that we ordered is impeccable, and installation was awesome to witness. It was a wholly enjoyable experience. We sincerely love the final result and highly recommend Tina and this company.
Description of Work: Tina Engdahl came to our home and listened as we explained our ideas about what we might need. After asking many appropriate questions, she offered ideas that were far better than we had imagined, and the results were spectacular.

When they came in, they were a yellow sheer and not the white sheers I had ordered. They did not work with me. I had the order form in front of me and the number on the fabric did not match the # on the order form. I still had the swatch and even when they came out they stood firm and would not budge. I ended up ordering two sets of drapes from them and paid for both sets.
Description of Work: I ordered sheer draperies from them for my formal living room, formal dining room and a music room. It took almost a year to get the correct drapes from them.

Dear [member name removed] I truly apologize for the unfortunate experience you had with your order. Unfortunately we are only able to control the portion of the order in which we are responsible for and not for 3rd Party involvement (in your case, the Designer, Amy Keller with whom you were working). Please note the time line of your order below. 11/03/04 Amy Keller scheduled an appointment for me to meet her at her clients house [member name removed] for a Final Measure on 11/4/04 @ 4PM. Amy informed me that she would provide the fabric and the style that had been decided upon. 11/04/04 I arrived @ the [member name removed] home @ 4pm and proceeded to measure the Living Room, Dining Room, & Piano Room. Amy never showed up while I was there. 11/08/04 Provided Amy with the amount of fabric she would need to order based on the window measurements & the design she had faxed to me . 12/01/04 Received a deposit from the [member name removed] for their order per credit card. Order was written up and faxed to Amy Keller & mailed to [member name removed]. Order clearly states DELIVERY: 4-6 weeks from receipt of Fabric & Deposit. 12/15/04 I notified Amy Keller that we had not yet received the fabric for the [member name removed] order. She stated “there are some issues with it and it’s back ordered”. 1/27/05 We receive fabric for [member name removed] order. 2/21/05 Order installed exactly 3 weeks & 3 days from receipt of fabric. 4/04/05 Amy Keller notifies me that the [member name removed] are not happy with the fabric color or the length of the panels and she had already reordered the fabric & [member name removed] would be calling with her Credit Card # for a deposit on the new order. 4/27/05 New fabric arrived. [member name removed] called with her deposit on order. Order started with replacement color fabric and new panel length. Deadline of Memorial day was given. 5/26/05 New order installed. As with all 3rd party orders we have documented dates & times of all correspondences related to and throughout the entire process of the order – as is our policy- and would be happy to provide copies to you.

All appointments were exactly on time and, importantly,the times were adjusted to my convenience. Tina is the best consultant and designer that I have had in my home..............she showed me many designs and different approaches to choose from as well as color and fabric..........all beautiful and wonderful.............not your "department store" choices. Measurements must have been very accurate, as the finished draperies were exactly what I envisioned and wanted. The quality and workmanship were exactly as promised . I plan on future business with Apollo......this is for sure!!!

I have nothing but praise for the company. They do a very good job and are very professional with the estimate, installation, and even the finished product.
Description of Work: The first thing we used them for were with draperies. They were very helpful and came with a lot of materials and ideas to show us. They completed the installation within the estimated time frame and the work was very good. They also installed Hunter Douglas blinds and wooden valances in connection with our bathroom remodel. They were very helpful with the choosing of the correct shade of blinds as well as the installation. We have additionally hired them for the cleaning of the draperies that they installed for us as well.
