Jeff visited my home and showed my wife and I several options. He also went over all of the warranty information. He measured the windows, ordered the shutter and blind. The installer came and measured again to make sure shutter was correct. The shutter and blind were installed. Jeff and the installer were very courteous and professional. The Shutters look great and the blind on the sliding glass door added insulation in the winter time.

Jeff and Mike did exactly what they signed up for and did it well.
Description of Work: Custom shutters are a big splurge, but what a difference they make to my house! Both the salesman and the installer were consummate professionals: gracious, punctual and delivering quality. I winced a bit at the price, but an thrilled with the product.

It went very well. The price seemed a little high, but as Jeff pointed out the average homeowner buys window treatments only a few times, so overall I was ok with the price. Besides, I do really like the result and the quality of the material and service was very good. Both Jeff and Mike were nice to deal with. Jeff returned my phone calls very quickly.
Description of Work: We bought three window blinds for the front window. Very elegant, I'd say. We received good advice from Jeff who offered some choices for our non-standard windows. We had them installed by Michael very efficiently, and they look great.

We needed 12 foot wide window treatments for three sides of our new sun room. The product was a perfect solution, providing shade from sun, insulation from the cold in an attractive final installation. The overall experience was great. They were punctual for all appointments and the final custom product was prepared in just 3 weeks.

We had a custom blind made for our front door by American Buyers Discount. The product itself is beautiful. The gentleman's recommendation for the color and design for our door was also great. The problem we had with him was that his attitude towards us seemed to change when he learned we weren't going to purchase as many window treatments as we had hoped. I felt that we were no longer a priority to him. One example: he didn't show up one evening when he was supposed to come out and adjust the blind and didn't call to explain. When I called him a few days later, he apologized and said that he was unable to make it; explained that he had thought I wouldn't be in that evening and that he didn't want to disturb me; and that he didn't have my husband's phone #. I had indicated that I might not be in but that my husband would be there. I appreciate his not wanting to disturb me, but he could have called the next day to explain

It went very well from start to finish
Description of Work: I called and Jeff responded quickly. We set up an appointment for him to replace three bedrooms of window treatments. We looked at various types of treatments, then I purchased 7 Hunter Douglas shades from him. They came in and he was able to put them up well before Christmas. I think there might have been a two week turn around, but I did not get his message. Jeff came in and put them all up in about an hour and a half and was gone. He was very pleasant and efficient. I had purchased an Angie's list deal, so my price was good.

Jeff was always available and informative about the entire line of products. He must have showed us every single sample, and gave us plenty of time to make intelligent decisions. He only gave advice when asked, and his knowledge provided a sound basis for the aesthetic that we were seeking. Jeff personally installed everything and each piece went into place beautifully and he was always professional, courteous, and sometimes came bearing amazing chocolate chip cookies. We receive nothing but raves about how this project turned out.

I honestly felt the Anglie's List Offer was an advertising gimick to lure you to purchase from the featured retailer. I think I would have received the same quote regardless of purchasing the offer. Jeff was professional, punctual with outstanding follow-up service.

I quickly stopped at the customer upon her phone call to me. I brought samples of all the window coverings she was interested in. I also had Hunter Douglas quote me on a very large window for a shutter. When I called she back to discuss the prices she did not call me back. I assumed she was busy with other activities and would call me back when she was ready. Of course, I look forward to working with her in the future.

Jeff always responded promptly to my calls and arrived on time for appointments. He came out and took measurements on the 19th of November and installed the ordered blinds on the 19th of December. He was very friendly and professional, and the installation was quick. The order may have taken a bit longer to come in due to the holidays, but I felt it was reasonable. The product was more expensive than those at the big box stores, but I'm very pleased with the look and warranty, and the service and installation was fantastic.

I may call again for another window. He is very easy to work with.
Description of Work: Jeff comes out to talk about the blind options. He measures and lets you know about pricing. I did my homework and saw that he was the best price with the best quality. I actually used him before and was delighted to have him back. This time, the shutters were a little more than I had thought they'd be. But, they look great. He tells you about turnaround time for delivery. They do evening and weekend installations which worked well for us. He follows up to make sure you are happy with everything. Pleasant experience all around.

I e-mailed Jeff in mid September and he came over within a week with samples from which I selected. It took about 3 weeks for the draperies to be made. The installer came and put them up but one of the draperies was not wide enough so the manufacturer had to make another pair which took about another 3 weeks. Both Jeff and the installers were very nice and made sure I was pleased with the work. Overall I was satisfied with the finished project.

Jeff is an amazingly knowledgeable individual. He knows his stuff to the nth degree! I first met with him at my house at the beginning of September 2012. He brought samples, etc., but I was pretty committed to shutters. I wanted to be able to have privacy and ventilation. He recommended Hunter Douglas Silhouette shades for my windows, which actually fit the bill perfectly. He did suggest that I hold off ordering the shades until September 15, because Hunter Douglas, after that date, was offering $50.00 off per shade/window. He saved me $200.00 that way! So the shades were ordered on September 15. On October 9, he came to install them. He arrived right on time, and the shades were up in no time. I am so impressed with how they look, too. Plus, I liked Jeff so much, I have recommended him to my friend, and she has already placed an order with him. He is a very nice man, and he is so helpful. He was here on October 30 to measure some other rooms for shades. I highly recommend Jeff and his company.

We decided not to go with their service for a few different reasons. For instance, they wanted me to mail a check as they would not take a credit card and their prices were inflated.
