excellent service in helping us measure and select blinds for over 40 windows- install went as planned and the installers were professional - our windows look great- very happy with this service and would use them again.

It took 3 calls before I got a call back and an app't set. I was told the blinds would be delivered within 3 weeks, instead I never got call indicating a problem with delivery. I called and left a message May 15th, I received a return call on Sunday May 19th at 9:09 P.M. to schedule the next day. I could not do the Monday as there was a conflict with my schedule so the blinds were installed Tuesday, May 21st. I like the blinds, however, if I wish to purchase anymore in the future, I'll go elsewhere.

The entire process went quite smoothly. The blinds were not cheap, but good quality. She did sent me the paper work for a Hunter Douglas rebate that I qualified for.

Ellen squeezed me in for an estimate since I explained how badly I needed window coverings for two large inconveniently placed windows. She gave me an estimate based on the outside of the window which was easier to reach but said she needed to get a precise measure to actually place the order. There was a lull between these two events which delayed the order an extra week. Once on order, Ellen volunteered that there was a rebate on these shades and she sent me the necessary paper work to receive this rebate. After the customary waiting time my shades arrived, were installed by Gary and look great and since they are motorized they are a cinch to operate.

Generally, it went very well. Ellen did make a mistake in the measurement for the sliding glass door treatment, but the installer took corrective measures, and 3 weeks later, we had our new treatment installed. There was never any argument. I might also add he was prompt, very clean, and knew exactly what he was doing. Although we were a small job, they were very quick on the installation. I would recommend Ellen in a heartbeat to everyone.

Based on the Angie's List rating and the proximity to where I live i called up Blinds for Less. I found Ms. Goodman to be highly informative, articulate, and knowledgeable. The price for the Hunter Douglas Duette honeycomb shades was excellent. Her installer was pleasant, punctual, and had my 5 shades installed in less than 45 minutes. I would highly recommend Blinds for Less.

I had a positive experience with Ms Goodman. She runs a small business so it is a rather more informal experience than buying from a "regular" store. I believe she only works with Hunter Douglas products. After I reached out to her, Ms Goodman came to my home, and discussed my situation/requirements for window blinds with me. She took measurements and gave me some feedback about why she recommended doing things slightly differently than I had planned (faux wood vs real wood, how to handle double windows). I took her advice on those matters and I think that was the right choice, After measuring, she walked me through her estimate, which was quite a bit less than another provider which has a brick and mortar store. I then had a significant delay of several months (on my end - I had to pay for roof repairs and this project went on the back burner). When I contacted Ms Goodman she was able to pull up my records easily and place my order for blinds. Her installer came out about 4 weeks later to do the installation. He was professional and quick. The only challenges we experienced with this contractor was an appointment scheduling mix up and a problem with my faux wood blinds not being delivered correctly. Apparently Hunter Douglas messed up the order and the 2 bathroom blinds were not delivered correctly. Ms Goodman was able to contact the company and get replacements ordered and out to my home within 1.5 weeks. My blinds look great and the installation was very smooth excepting the ordering problem. Though this was an inconvenience it was resolved quickly. I do think it was a pretty rare occurrence and could happen with a big store as well - and for me the cost savings made it worth it!

They were very responsive and competitive in their pricing. They did a great job.

Job entailed 6 extra tall windows in an old Victorian Town House rental unit. All aspects, from coming to measure and place the order to the installation were performed promptly and very professionally. I highly recommend Blinds for Less.

It was a great experience! They were very professional and do a great job. I would definitely recommend them to anyone else in the area.

Sales side went smoothly - Ms. Goodman came to my home, measured my windows, and made great recommendations, though I already had a strong sense of what I wanted. Everything after the sale went downhill. The turnaround was supposed to take two to three weeks, but ended up taking nearly two months. I had to call Ms. Goodman twice (after three weeks, and then again in the fourth week) to inquire about the status of my blinds before hearing from the installer. The installer arrived promptly once the appointment was made, but struck me as careless and incomplete. For instance, though Ms. Goodman assured me that the installer would remove all former window treatment hardware (from the prior homeowner), I had to repeatedly request that the installer do so. He also mounted wooden blinds on two adjacent windows unevenly, and, upon adjusting a honeycomb blind, he broke a major adjustment piece on pull cord. He was only able to replace the broken piece by borrowing from a shade that was incorrectly ordered - I received a blackout when I had requested a semi-opaque. Rectifying this situation took an additional two and a half weeks, most of which was characterized by my calling Ms. Goodman and only sometimes receiving a return phone call. Upon requesting an itemized bill - which was not prepared initially - I had to ask about the difference in cost between the semi-opaque shade, which I had ordered, and the blackout shade, which I initially received. Only after asking about this differential in price was my final bill reduced. Would not use again.

It went as agreed. Ms Goodman told me about one delay, which was then completed as promised

She is fine. She brought all the samples with her so I could choose from home and see the way colors match. They were very prompt with the installation. Their installer was wonderful. I've used them six different times. I've spent $2,500 between May 2006 and September 2009. They don't take charge cards. She was terrific. They are a little more expensive than other franchises but they are worth it because they bring everything to the house.

We live in a penthouse condo with very large windows looking out on our balcony. The largest is 145"" by 109"". When we moved in, there were no window coverings at all. We found Blinds for Less on Angie's List and sent an e-mail asking for an assessment. Ellen Goodman responded to our message within one day, and she came to visit us shortly thereafter. We had been considering wooden blinds, but she pointed out that the weight of the blinds wasn't practical for our large windows. She steered us toward honeycomb shades for the living room and dining room, and pinpoint, sheer shades for the bedrooms. During the selection process, Ellen held samples up to our walls so that we could evaluate the colors. She helped us as needed but let us make our own decisions without influence. In fact, after we chose a couple of samples, she pointed out that we had picked the less expensive option. She also did not charge us for the assessment visit. The installer (Gary) came within the next few weeks and was equally efficient and professional. In fact, after the installation we discovered that one end of a shade cassette had come loose because of the difficulty in finding anchor points in our ceiling. We called Gary, and he returned and fixed the problem promptly. We have had no problems since. We couldn't be more pleased with our shades and with the professional advice and service of Blinds for Less.

They came promptly. They were very quick and very professional with the installation. They told me exactly how long the work would take and it took exactly that long. Everything went very well.

Ellen came over and took thorough measurements of all the windows in my house. I liked that she doesn't use subcontractors for installation, but her prices were still $1000 more than Next Day Blinds. She was not able to give me an estimate for about three days after the visit to my home.

She did a wonderful job. She came with samples and we explained our objective. She made suggestions and we went with her suggestions. It was very quick and we were very pleased with her. She was very responsive.

She was efficient and she gave a timely response. She showed us appropriate samples and gave us ideas that we liked. We gave her a deposit and three weeks later the job was completed. The price was well below Sears and Home Depot even though they carried the same material.

I was very pleased with the service. It was great having the samples so they could be looked at in the room where the shades would be. Ellen was knowledgeable, professional, and prompt in responding to my calls and setting up an appointment. The price was less than retail, but a bit higher than ordering online; however, given the excellent customer service in selecting the shades and having them installed, it was well worth the additional cost. I'm very pleased with the service and the product, and I would highly recommend Blinds for Less if you're looking for Hunter Douglas products.

Very nice experience. Ellen was a pleasure to work with despite the small job that it was for her. Very professional, returned calls, and was on time for appointment. Gary the installer was also very professional and on time as well. I will call Blinds for Less if any other window treatments are needed.

This company is extremely small but very efficient. Their prices are competitive and the owner brings samples to the house so you can see how the finished product will look. The installer was very neat and efficient.
