Our experience with Bay View Shade and Blind was awesome from start to finish. Our sales person Janelle was so helpful and paid attention to every detail and question we had. She even made sure a large shade was re-designed after installation to meet our expectation. They go the full nine yards!

Design consultant came and measured our windows. I knew I wanted solar shades and she showed me the color options. Ordered the blinds on Thursday; installed on the following Monday. Installers were very personable and professional. Love the blinds. Had 2 other estimates and Bay View Blinds were very comparable. Would definitely recommend

I did a lot of research and called multiple companies both big and small to get quotes for my home. We needed blinds for 20 windows of all different shapes and sizes. They gave us the best price and we didn't even have to compromise on quality. Both the in home consultation and installation went so well! Matt helped me to decide what blinds would be best for each window and was thorough in his explanations and recommendations. The installation went so fast and Steve and Tim were so cheerful and pleasant to work with. They took the time to make sure I knew how to best take care of the blinds to make sure they last a long time. I would highly recommend!!

I was just past the warranty. They took the shade into the shop and after speaking with the manufacturer, let me know they would be able to replace the shade and only charged me for the service call. They were very fair, honest and pleasant to deal with.

One of the cords/strings broke recently after only 6 months use. WhenI took it back I was told there is no warranty an restrung shades and it would be $ 35-30. I explained that I was very disappointed that my original shades lasted 12 years and now after 6 months on of them breaks! I still needed a shade and agreed to $30. When I came to pick it up they told me it would be free of charge and gave me a 10% off coupon on a future purchase. The sales person explained to me how after a shade is restrung a cord will last anywhere from 1 -5 years depending on use.
Description of Work: I had the provider restring 2 shades 6 months ago for about $150. One of them needed to be restrung after 6 months.

From the showroom visit to the custom measurement and installation, everything was great. Matt came to our home with samples and ideas and was very patient with us as we chose fabric, trim, pull chains and top cassette. He had good suggestions and helped us decide on every detail. The installation took place within the timeframe promised, and our room looks great. The shades work perfectly and, even though they were quite expensive, we feel they were worth it. We would highly recommend Bay View Shade and Blind - they did a fabulous job for us, and we will enjoy our beautiful shades for many years to come.

We were pleasantly surprised to receive a phone call 3 weeks later that our blinds were in! Tim and Brian came out to do the installation. They both are wonderful to work with! After they left I realized that the blinds had been measured to be installed inside the window frame instead of outside. We have casement windows and the blinds were hitting the window locks. I called and spoke with Lisa about the problem and she was very accommodating. They added one inch to the sides of the original measurement and reordered the blinds at no additional cost to us. The blinds were in two weeks later and we couldn't be happier! This is the second time we have purchased blinds from Bay View and they will continue to have our business! Thank you!!

Matt from Bay View came to our home with lots of samples and knowledge to share. He was easy to work with and offered great advice. Normally the lead time is 3 weeks from ordering to installation. However, with Thanksgiving just a little under 3 weeks from when we ordered we didn't think we would enjoy the new shades before our big Thanksgiving gathering. However, what a surprise to hear from Bay View that the shades were done and could be installed the week before Thanksgiving. WOW! We have used Bay View numerous times in the past and will definitely continue to call on them for our window needs. Thank you Bay View

Early in July, I commented to my neighbor that my house got so hot when the sun was from the west. She asked, and quot;Do you pull your shades?and quot; Duh! I had no shades. I commented that we have neighbors for a reason, then went directly to Angie's list to see where I could get window shades. I needed a professional because I have a bow window in the kitchen that looked difficult. It has crank-out windows, so I wanted shades that allowed air to come through while blocking the sun. Bay View Shades has a showroom not far from my house, so I drove there immediately. The young lady there was helpful, showing me the different styles and colors. She sent me home with some samples and an appointment for Jim to come and measure my windows. When Jim came to measure, he was helpful with his suggestions for the bow window. He measured all the windows and immediately gave me a price. It was a little higher than I had expected, but I really liked the shades. I gave him the go-ahead. We were leaving for a week's vacation the following Saturday, so we scheduled installation for July 31, a few days after we returned. He showed up with the shades as promised, on the 31st. They look good and perform wonderfully.When Jim installed the dining room shades, he drew my attention to one that he deemed to be too short. When it was pulled down, the bare roller showed, and apparently that is unacceptable. (I agree. When the side-by-side shades were pulled down, it was evident that one roller was showing.) He left the shade for my use while having a replacement one made. He was back with the replaceement on August 2, just 2 days later. All the shades look great, and my house is not quite so hot in the afternoon.
Description of Work: They installed custom-made shades in our kitchen, dining room and den. All the shades have chain pulls on the side, attached at both top and bottom, which hold them more firmly in place than regular pull shades. We like this because we have cats that like windows, and the shades seem a little more sturdy.

I had a handyman coming in just a few days for several major jobs and had planned to purchase three ready-made roller window shades. When I didn't find anything to my liking I went to Bay View Shade and Blind. I asked if it was possible to get the shades by the day that the handyman was scheduled. They accommodated my request and the shades were ready to be picked up the day of my services. My experience (a first) was very positive and when I am ready to do further decorating I will certainly go to them again.
Description of Work: I wanted roller shades for three windows. I tried the hardware stores but found them all looking very cheap and flimsy. The selection at Bay View Shade and Blind was broad and with a wide range of prices. At this time I wanted something simple and limited in cost. The clerk respected my wishes and treated me with as much attention as if I were ordering the finest in the store. They constructed my shades perfectly. I felt very-well served.

It went very well. Tom (the owner) did not try and steer us to a more expensive option. he listed all the options, listend to what we wanted, and gave us several choices that fit our needs. he measured each window twice, and submitted the order. We were told 4 - 5 weeks for installation, but a week after we placed the order I received a call advising that the blinds were completed, and they could install the following week, and mentioned that they had a cancellation that day if I was available. I was able to work with them, and the two installers came out that day and installed the blinds. They were very mindful of the new window, and made sure not to do anything that would void it's warranty. They also gave a detailed demonstration of operating the blinds, and how to avoid damaging the blinds while cleaning, or resting them on the window crank. The blinds came with a three year warranty. The job was performed over a year ago, and we have had no problems with the blinds, not with color fading, or mechanical. We are very pleased. The complany has two locations, we used the location in Menomonee Falls.
Description of Work: We have a large 4 pane bay window that we had 4 custom made honeycomb blinds made for. Tom Pacholski (owner) came out and measured the windows, and gave us a large variety of samples and options. Once we decided on the style, an order was written up. About a week later the blinds were installed.
