Wonderful little place with big service! Tommy was very helpful without being pushy or pressuring for the entire experience. Showed us several options for custom shades after taking time to understand what we were looking for. Visited our house within a couple of days to measure and priced our top choices for our consideration, including being knowledgeable about the current sales for the various companies being considered. After our decision, he gave us a realistic timeline for ordering and set up installation. Showed up on time for installation, and was very respectful of our carpets (he wore shoe covers) and careful of the window woodwork during removal of old items and installation of new. We were very happy with the entire experience!

Great. Called to request installation of blinds I purchased elsewhere February 2020. Because of Covid, the place where I purchased would not install. Tried contacting 3 other places that sell blinds to see if they would install. Because I did not purchase from them, they would not install. Searched Angies List and found Kathy's Shade Shop. Contacted them and in 2 hours, someone arrived to install. In 20 minutes, he was done. Great job.

Excellent. Tommy was our sales person, measurer and installer. He was extremely helpful and directed me in my choices. I loved that you only had to deal with one person. Products were perfect and in a very timely manor. Tommy is a very skilled window treatment person. They get my highest rating and definitely recommend them.

Turnaround time was very fast., work was done well. The thing that I especially want to point out is the work for the panel track blind. The manuacturer had gone out of business so parts weren't available. Since parts couldn't be ordered, we asked if he could try to fix the blind using old parts we had saved from the first time the blind had broken and we contacted the manufacturer for replacement. He had a "let's try it" attitude, and got it done! Another local, well-rated blind repair place wouldn't do this for us when we asked. We'll definitely be coming here again for future blind repairs.
Description of Work: Fixed a very large, heavy bamboo blind with blackout liner attached - the mechanism had broken, along with the strings, and all had to be replaced. Also repaired a sliding panel track bamboo blind for which replacement parts were no longer available.

I took a shade in to be restrung. Estimate was $30 and two or three days before it would be done. Turned out they finished it that day and it only cost $25 because I had overestimated the size of the shade when I called. It's been working fine since I reinstalled it.

The installer came to my house to measure all the windows before ordering the blinds. Once the blinds were in stock, they came back to my house and installed them. Both visits to my house went very well. They were professional and did their work quickly. The product we purchased was a bit expensive, but worth it. After a year and a half, they look great and work great.

The salesman was nice enough, but was dressed like he was going to work in the yard or on my car, unprofessional. Brought in an old shutter sample, a box with the most expensive blinds available, had no input, no samples, ideas or suggestions....totally unprepared for a sales call.

She sent someone else that works with her to the home. They did a really good job. They undercut a couple other shade places. They were very prompt and were very professional. She was very thorough at the office. We will be calling them again.
