Denise Rimkus of Affordable Blind & Shutters was very professional and her knowledge of window treatments helped me make the right choice for my new home. Also, she was always available when I had any concerns or questions The installer took great care and time in installing the Hunter-Douglas shades. It has been a year since the install and am enjoying them every day. I would highly recommend Denise for your window treatment needs.

This project went very well. I plan to use Affordable Blinds again. Please see details in "What did the provider do"
Description of Work: The owner of Affordable Blinds came to my home right at the appointed time and measured and showed me available options. She helped me decide on shutters and color. She was very pleasant and professional. She then sent an installer who measured again. The installer also was on time for his appointment, even a little early. At that point the shutters were ordered. The installer called when the shutters came in to make an appointment to install the shutters. One of his employees came to my home on September 1st, also on time, to install the shutters. He was finished in no time and I am so pleased with the shutters. They work beautifully and are a definite asset to my home. Thank you, Affordable Blinds!

Description of Work: They installed blinds on one double window and 4 single windows. The blinds look great. They were efficiently installed in a very short period of time and the old blinds were carted off. This was a great special advertised on Angie's List.

Hello [member name removed], I am sorry we were not able to help you with your project. Custom projects are typically more expensive as they are usually labor intensive. If you would like us to price something different we will be happy to. Kind Regards, Affordable Blinds Management

Description of Work: They came out and showed me samples of the shutters for the living room and then measured the window and gave me the price. A week later the installed came out and did his own measuring. Approximately three weeks later the installed came back and installed the shutters in the living room in less than 45 minutes. They are absolutely wonderful and really gave the room a new dimension that is fabulous.

Description of Work: The sales rep & the installer were great. They were professional, personable and had excellent follow up & follow through. I thought that they were a bit pricey given that I'd bought a $500 coupon. I had 2 tall single windows covered with plantation shutters. They averaged over $100 more per window (counting the coupon) than previous work -or - the same as the other company without the coupon. It didn't really feel like the coupon made much difference.

I originally saw their add in "The Home Mag" and thought I would consider them as my husband and I try to do as much business locally as possible. Before I ordered anything I looked at reviews from Angie's list and checked on the BBB site. I read a couple reviews that were not great so I thought I would call them and talk to them personally. I spoke with the owner, Belinda about my concerns. She assured me that all of the negative comments were due to franchise openers of these stores actually going out of business and leaving their customers high and dry. She assured me that would never happen with her. She said if I bought from her she would personally take care of the order. I felt she was honest and really trying to repair the damage other franchise owners had caused to the company name. Boy was I wrong!!!!!!! I placed my order agreeing to pay half down and the other half after the install. They were installed a little over a month later but the installer had a problem fitting two of the solar shades correctly. They hung crooked and were too narrow for the windows so they didn't cover completely. The installer wasn't quite sure how to fix the problem and said they may have been cut incorrectly when they were made. He took pictures and assured me the company stands behind their product and would make it right. I paid the remainder and felt confident they would fix it. This was around the holidays so I really didn't expect anything to happen until later in January. To shorten this already too long review I will say that after many, many phone calls on my part and lame excuses on their part, and here it is six months later, they have NOT fixed it!!!! As a matter of fact the owner sold her company and left me high and dry! Sound familiar?????

[member name removed], I'm so sorry that your experience was less than exceptional and your issues were not resolved. This was certainly not the norm and I'm so sorry your order was caught in the middle of a transition period to a new owner. We have had an A rating in Angie's list for years, our clients mean everything to us. Now under new management, if there is anything we can do to help you, do not hesitate to give us a call.

Excellent! Ms Helen Griffith came to our home & showed us a number of different options & helped us decide on a product that we liked, and within our budget. She was very professional & helpful without being pushy - a real pleasure to work with. When our blinds came in about three weeks later, the installer was just as professional and pleasant as the salesperson (I forgot to get his name). He stayed until I was satisfied with the installation of all the blinds, tweaking here & there as needed. No complaints whatsoever about either the product, sales process or installation process. Highly recommend.

Affordable has a lot of integrity and it shows in their work. I can always trust them to do the job right and to tell me what the best product would be for my home. The blinds look great and I'll definitely keep calling them for all my window treatment needs in the future.

This company was wonderful. A man came and measured my windows. He was one hour late, but he did call me ahead to let me know that he was detained by the previous job. He was very friendly, neat, and very helpful. The man that installed my blinds did it in five minutes. Wow!. Thank you. Gracie
