It went very well. Brenda visited the house twice and I stopped in the showroom. I wanted to be sure we got everything right. Brenda was very helpful and patient as I thought about all the options. Installation was very quick and efficient. We had a small problem with the pulls on the large blinds, but this was resolved promptly.
Description of Work: We replaced blinds for our living room and dining room, both very large picture windows. Also, blinds for bedroom and roller shades for the den.

Brenda and crew were fantastic to work with and helpful with choosing fabric, offering ideas, and thoughtful as to what would work in our home. Brenda was very knowledgeable and worked to provide quality customer service and products. When the shades were being installed she noticed a mark on one of the shades and had it replaced. Had she not said anything, I doubt I would have ever noticed the mark. I was impressed. Our shades make me very happy! Tony did the installation and he worked quickly, efficiently and with care. I recommend this business and plan to use them again to have cushions made for a window seat.

Budget Blinds had a wide array of choices and colors. We choose their "Signature" honeycomb blinds, custom fit to our windows. They were manufactured just shy of two weeks and installed in 1/2 hr. Our home has a Western exposure - the sun shining through the windows and reflecting off the lake really heat up the interior. The blinds make a world of difference. We are very pleased with the end result and would use Budget Blinds again if we needed blinds in the future.
Description of Work: Brenda came to our residence to consult on styles, models and colors. She was very helpful. Brenda also did the measuring, wrote the estimate and ordered the blinds.

They had a good selection to choose from. They were great. They came to my house with samples and I was able to see what they would look like in my room. She was knowledgeable and helped me make decisions. They were communicative and they kept their price which it was reasonable than what I thought.

They were good and excellent. I have several houses and they go to my friends too. Until now, I am still using them. They were great and went good. I like the product and the cost. The person who came measured the shelf and she is very nice. The price is reasonable. She offers many products.

Coral came and measured the windows and helped me to pick out the blinds that I wanted, including the colors. She has been doing this for years and is very fast and really knows what she is doing. The installation was a couple of weeks later, and was equally fast and well done. The blinds fit perfectly, and I love the colors!

This is the 3rd time I've used this particular Budget Blinds office. The first was in 2005 when I had custom woven fiber shades and 2" wooden blinds installed in my condo. The second was in 2006 when I had 2" wooden blinds and silk roman shades installed throughout my new townhouse. In both instances the customer service was professional, the product was delivered and installed on time without defect and everything looked great. They also stand by their guarantee without hassles. I had a room-mate who broke the set of blinds in my second bedroom of the townhouse. The blinds came with a 5 year, no questions asked one time replacement warranty. I called them up and they shipped me a new set right away. I also took the liberty to replace another set that had become damaged by water splattering from the kitchen sink. Saved me $500 that I would have had to pay were I to buy new ones. All of this made it easy for me to make a decision to use them again when I moved into my new home this year. One of their agents, Coral, came to our house and spent a lot of time with us going through different fabrics and choices. She even left us a few books and samples so we could mull our decision over, swinging by a few days later to pick them back up herself. We ended up going with their signature series (comes with the 5 year replacement warranty) and couldn't be happier. Coral and her colleague Roxanne kept us up to date on the order status and made sure to inspect the product when it arrived at their office before scheduling installation. Tony came out and installed the shades within 15 minutes. I would definitely use them again.
Description of Work: Procured and installed custom flat panel roman shades with blackout liner for two windows in master bedroom.

Coral came out with sample books and measured the windows. I was grateful for this session because, thanks to her, I ordered different colors and styles than I had originally thought. Once I could see the samples in the rooms, I realized there were better choices. 3 weeks later the blinds arrived and the installer came out. It took him less than one hour to mount the new blinds and they look great.
Description of Work: Budget Blinds installed pleated window blinds for 8 windows. The work was performed as planned and the results as wonderful. Good job!

Experience was fine, but the cost differential between this provider and the one I chose was equivalent to covering one additional window.

Not well at first. Installer Vlad was very nice, but he really did not know how to do the framing of a sliding glass door for shutters. After he left I did a closer inspection of his work. Trimming was pieced together and shutters were not evenly hung. Fortunately I have a friend who has hung several window treatments on her own. She was able to figure out what needed to be done and when we called Vlad back she was able to walk him through the process. To Vlad's credit he did not try to make any excuses, nor was he defensive and seemed to really appreciate the advice on how and what needed to be redone. The end result is I am satisfied with how the shutters now look, but I am not sure that would have happened without the help of my friend. Vlad was very professional and I think he was doing the best that he could. He just wasn't that experienced at doing the framing for a sliding glass door.

Dear (deleted member name), I'm glad you had a good conclusion to your install. Unfortunately I think you may have reviewed the wrong company. I don't show you in my records and Vlad is not an employee of mine. If you do need any help in the future we'd be happy to assist.

A representative came to our home for a consultation and provided estimates quickly. The order was easily placed and delivery was scheduled. The installer arrived on the appointed day on time and was quick in conducting the work. We've been very pleased with the product and the service. We'd recommend this company without reservation.

We were happy with the both the estimator and the installer that came to the house. We have used this company within the last two years at our prior house, and so we knew what to expect. The blind was ordered on 4-27-2013 and installed on 6-4-2013 (has to be built to our specs and shipped to company). The blind looks and works great.. My only comment is, don't be fooled by the word "budget" in their name. I would consider them medium to pricey not a budget category.

Brenda came out the very day I called, skipping her lunch to help us out with a "cat who chewed off the strings emergency". We later replaced several more blinds and again the service was terrific. The company has a full range of products and gave us good advice on the quality of the products that they carried. I strongly recommend Budget Blinds.

The entire experience went very well from start to finish as described above. I am very happy with the blinds.
Description of Work: Coral came to the house to show us blinds of different varieties. We were switching from draw draperies and I really didn't know much about blinds. She was very knowledgeable and helped me decide which would be best without any sales pressure. I had another company come out for a consultation, but decided on Budget Blinds for two reasons. First I liked the blinds better and I really liked Coral's help and professionalism much better. With it being such a drastic change in window treatment I decided to go out to the store again and look at the treatment that I had pretty much decided on, but had some questions. Coral wasn't there but Mary was and she answered all of my questions and satisfied any concerns I had. I placed the order and they were installed three weeks later. Tony was punctual, personable and completed the installation rapidly. He made sure I knew how to operate the blinds before he left and cleaned up after himself.

The manager was knowledgeable and helpful. I selected the brand and he made an appointment for the designer to bring fabrics to my home. Based on Brenda's knowledge and experience, I was able to select the type and color of window treatment quickly. She ordered the blinds and set up an appointment for the installation. Tony arrived on time and went t work... a beautiful job it was. I would definitely refer this firm to others. The price was right.

In home consultant Cora was quite helpful in reviewing different options and reviewing pros and cons of different types of window treatments and going over costs. She also gave us a discount for a large order. She did all the measurements. Several weeks later, shades and blinds were installed and everything went smoothly. Very happy with the quality of shades and cost.

My experience with Budget Blinds really left a bad taste in my mouth. I had Brenda come out in Nov. 2012 to give me an estimate for window treatments on several windows in my house. When she followed up a few weeks later I told her I thought I was going to order shades from another company. I was completely upfront and told her it was a price issue. About a week later I followed up with Brenda and Arnie at Budget Blinds because I wanted to revisit their quote for one very large(about 120" wide) window in my house. Budget Blinds said they could do one very wide shade to cover the whole window, but it turned out the other company I was working with could not provide the same style shade in that length. That meant choosing a different style or putting two shades on the window side by side, and these were things we didn't really want to do. Well Arnie informed me that Brenda had thrown away my file and did not want to do business with me any further. I was really offended by this. This also put us in a jam because our house had no window coverings on it at all (we had just moved in) and we were in a hurry to get some installed, and we really didn't want to take the time to have a third company come out to provide a quote. I won't use Budget Blinds anymore, and I would not recommend them.

Response from Budget Blinds of Seattle NW
We try our best to make our customers happy and we are sorry that the member is upset because we chose not to assist him with 1 window. It is not our policy to keep estimates with measurements when a customer informs us that they chose to use another company. This was the the case here and due to time and money constraints I chose not go back.

I called this local branch of Budget Blinds to replace some old blinds in our home. From the start, the people at this store were very friendly and responsive. They provided an estimate over the phone and one of the owners came to my home to provide a more detailed estimate. She was very friendly and knowledgeable and was able to match the blinds to what I had in other rooms. They delivered and installed it with no major issues and were flexible and made 2 separate trips to accomodate a kitchen renovation. All in all, this was a great experience and I would highly recommend them to anyone looking for blinds.
