Blinds for Less

Ellen helped me select beautiful roller shades for my windows that were not only exceptional quality but also worked with my budget. She was patient and offered different options to consider. She used her expertise to guide me in terms of specific fabric selection and the results were better than I could have anticipated. The shades are beautiful and I cannot stop looking at them! Importantly, she and her installer, Jeff, take measurement very seriously and I am so thankful that I chose them because the results are superb. The shades fit perfectly and Jeff did a truly outstanding job mounting the shades. I know some people think this is something they can DIY but when I look at the results, I can only think thank goodness I did not try to do this myself. The amazing outcome was well worth every penny.

This firm should be avoided. I ordered some blinds and paid a deposit but the blinds were never provided. Her installer repeatedly missed appointments and did not respond to a request for another. It is not a professional firm and it is not a reliable firm. Am pursuing with Visa and with the Better Business Bureau.

I had a very positive experience with Ellen when picking out window treatments for my new house. She was always responsive and gave good design advice. I would hire her again in a heart beat!

Blinds For Less was very responsive. Called back within 15 minutes. Confirmed and showed up when scheduled and did an excellent job.

The room looks absolutely amazing. The shade makes a tremendous difference!!! Gary the installer is awesome

Ellen was very profesional, and punctual. She showed us all the available options suitable for what we needed. She didn’t try to up-sell anything and her recommendations were honest and on-point. The quality of the shades is very good. The installer was very professional. Installation was very clean. Everything looks perfect! Highly recommend doing business with her.

no response yet I called several more times,called again and still no luck - late 2018 I hired some one to look at the blinds. They showed me where the attachments from the blinds to the support were bent, this the dropping of the blinds, dragging the floor, and making it difficult to open/close the curtains. They repaired the bent attachments and I paid them. Thus the reason for my final low rating for BLINDS FOR LESS. 1501

Work was done very well. Ellen arrived as scheduled and was very knowledgeable and helpful. The installer was very pleasant and professional.

It went great, which is usually the case when dealing with Ellen. Full disclosure, she has done the majority of the blinds in my home. She has a great designer eye, and always selects the blind the works well with my windows. She is responsive to her emails (usually within 24 hours), and makes the time to ensure that her customer is happy. I highly recommend Ellen and Blinds for Less.

Terrible customer service. Attempted to schedule a visit for quote and consultation, the response was consistently short and unhelpful.

Ellen came to our house and made the measurements to start with. She also brought along her samples and went over what we were interested in, and then provided her recommendations. She has an eye for design, so with her you are getting more of an aesthetic evaluation than just a provision of x-feet of drapes in whatever color you pick out. We found it to be valuable to have her experience and style to guide out decision-making.

We recently purchased our first home. Like many new homeowners, we were nervous about the many choices we would have to make to keep the home we fell in love with -- the home of our dreams. One of our biggest first decisions as home owners was choosing blinds! Especially so since we had purchased a home without window treatments of any kind! We began our search for blinds at one of those brand name companies. We weren't all that impressed with their product, and would have had to pay more for the brand we did prefer. We then began calling several local retailers, garnering several estimates. At the time, we were leaning towards plantation shutters. But as a first time home owner about to make a significant purchase, I really wanted some help regarding style, practicality and functionality. Ellen Goodman was able to fit that bill beautifully. Not only did she have the best prices around, but she took the time to measure every window, offer her suggestions on the space, return to our house to do more measurements, and just really make sure we would have a product that we were happy with. She listened to what we wanted, what we were concerned about, and even went room-by-room, offering suggestions. For example, an office would have blackout shades, a guest room would have standard cords for ease of use, and a sun room would have a top-down bottom-up honeycomb to allow for maximum light and privacy. In addition, it took less than three weeks to receive and have our blinds installed. Her installer, Gary, was fabulous, completing the entire job in under three hours, and making sure to show both me and my husband how everything worked. Everything looks stunning. But more importantly, it is practical for our space. We couldn't be happier with the product and service that Ellen Goodman provided. We would highly recommend her to those seeking a consummate professional, who cares deeply about the product she provides, and the people receiving it.

I left a message for Ellen through the website, if I remember correctly. She was in touch and set up an appointment. We met shortly thereafter and she showed me several options for blinds. I think I chose the cheapest option, which were Hunter Douglas blinds, though I don't think they're cheap in quality in anyway and look very nice through the window. I went with her immediately, I did not consider any other vendor as my house did not have any window treatments and I needed some installed immediately. I paid a deposit for half the amount. They were installed a little over a month later as the installer was not available. The installer was good, I think his name was Gary, came on time and was done in about an hour, answered all of the questions I had. This was probably the easiest time I've had hiring a contractor and getting work done. Pretty painless. I would hire again and will probably do so in the future as I have more windows to put blinds on.

I had purchased a "deal" and had a general idea of what I wanted. Ellen Goodman is extremely knowledgeable and able to make decision making process an ease. The installation of everything took less than a 1/2 hour and the tech explained how everything worked. I highly recommend Blinds for Less and will definitely be using them again in the future,

Very professional. I received good advice that allowed me to get the best value for my budget.

I would highly recommend using Blinds for Less. They had a large selection to choose from and provided really useful recommendations. I would absolutely use them again.

The work completed was done well. And the shades are of high quality. However, overall, it was quite expensive. This was probably due to the fact that they are customized. I had an issue with how long it took for the two checks that I wrote to be cashed. Each check took about 2 months to cash. I have no idea why. If you do not monitor your checking account on a regular basis, you may forget you have written the checks.

Great. Provider was great however the installer left the orgage caution stickers on the back of the blinds which showed outside. Had to have him come back to remove them.

It worked out very nicely and smooth. They do exactly what they say and they help with choosing colors and measuring.

Motorized blinds were initially installed. After a bit of time they stopped working. After I contacted Ellen, she and Gary worked with me to replace the blinds which are now working properly.

The provider was very responsive and arranged the in-home visit within just a few days of my call. The selection process was made easy - Ellen is helpful and knowledgeable about various window treatment options. The order was placed the same day and I was pleasantly surprised at how quickly the blinds were ready. I received a call only 2 weeks after the order was placed and the installer was ready to come out the next day. I had a small issue with the operation of one blind (more my fault than the product), but the installer came out very quickly to resolve the issue. The reason I contacted Blinds for Less was their add in a recent Angie's List magazine. I read some reviews and noted the company was a local vendor in Vienna, VA. I will recommend them to friends and neighbors and I will definitely use them again when I need to change or update window treatments.

Ellen was very professional. She understood my time constraints and had my blinds ordered and installed in 13 days. It was the fastest service I've ever had for window treatments. The installer had them installed in 15 minutes. I would definitely use her and her installation team again.

Ellen Goodman called me promptly, set up an appointment and we had blinds within two weeks...she was very professional and offered great design advice. She offered great suggestions in accordance to the style of the windows/doors. She did not try to oversell or market the most expensive items. She really advised us to get the colors and style that best fit our functional needs. When the installer came in, he was clean and fast and the blinds fit perfectly. I will definitely do business with them again.

Ellen is knowledgeable & personable & businesslike. She informed us about products we didn't know existed and gave us good advice on what would work for us. She gave us a timeline for installation that was right on the button; the installer showed up on time and did an excellent installation, including instructing me on how to use our new blinds (ours required a bit more than just pulling a string :-). Installer pointed out that one of the valences was chipped, and immediately ordered a new one, which he said would be delivered shortly. We did not cost compare; we simply went with our market research on this one, including Angie's reviews. I thought the blinds were expensive, but they have a lifetime guarantee, they are beautiful and perfect for our needs. We believe you will not chance anything with this company; they are a sure thing.
