Chicago Plantation Shutter Installation Companies

Beyond Shades was great, very prompt with coming to give us a quote, and then measure and, once the shades were delivered (to them), to have them installed. I would definitely recommend them.

This was a painless process! Bill & Linda had been to our home earlier in the year to give us quotes on several windows that we wanted to install plantation shutters. It was several months before we were able to get back to them to place an order. Bill still had our original quotes and measurements. We paid upfront and in roughly 3 weeks they were at our home and installed. They are beautiful and Bill and Linda were wonderful to "work" with! (Honestly, they did all the work!) I would not hesitate to use their company again.

Awesome experience. Very professional from the beginning. No pressure sale, easy/quick response back when I had a question and the installer was as I expected. Very conscious of my home, cleaned up after himself leaving no packaging materials, quick, pleasant. I definitely will order from them again.

My brother was doing a complete remodel of his townhome and spent ALOT of time researching to find someone to help his with his window treatments. He strongly recommended Bill and Linda and made my job easy. We could not be any happier with results. Bill and Linda are absolutely the best. Very easy to work with and provided excellent service from beginnig to end. They even installed the shutters on a late Saturday afternoon. Thanks Bill and Linda! - Jeff and Karen G.

Bill and Linda installed Hunter Douglass plantation shutters on the main floor of my home. They came out, measured and provided me with a competitive quote, I went with them and was very pleased that I did. The shutters look perfect and compliment my home well. Bill and Linda were very professional throughout the entire process

Truly a wonderful experience. The representative who came to measure and provide an estimate was prompt and very knowledgable. He had great ideas and options I hadn't consider. I hadn't planned to have shutters installed on the double doors because I was concerned about giving up visibility to our wooded backyard. I'm so glad we did! The installation was also a joy. The technician was prompt, did an immaculate job, and left not a trace of a mess. I LOVE our shutters. We have great visibility when the shutters are open and they also open away from doors/windows for a completely unobstructed view. They provide privacy and noticeable insulation. And they look fabulous! I highly recommend. The representative provided estimates for windows in several other rooms and will keep the measurements on file. When budget allows, I plan to do the windows in other rooms.

We just installed some new windows in our home and were in the market of getting some new window treatments - shutter blinds. Looking in Angie's List, we came across Budget Blinds and all of the reviews were all solid - so I decided I'd give him a call the following week. What I thought was a good sign was that driving home the next day, I saw Andy and his truck at a neighbor's house. I called his 773 number - the 847 number didn't seem t get answered - and a women answered the phone and took down what I was looking for, how many windows and my name, address and telephone number and let me know that Andy would visit me to take measurements and provide a quote on Saturday evening. I was really impressed that he'd come out on a Saturday and showed a lot of initiative to me as well as displaying a strong work ethic. She also asked me where I heard of them and I informed them that I saw an ad and them at a neighbor's house - I did not tell them I saw them on Angie's list. Side note here - One of the issues I have with telling companies I saw them on Angie's list is that often their listed specials on the Angie's List site aren't really honored then. What I typically see happen is that they say the pricing that they gave you already includes the Angie's List pricing but how are you to know that if you don't know what the original/non-Angie's List special pricing is in the first place. I'll get back to that later. Andy arrived right on time, was very professional and easy going. He brought along some samples and got to measuring each room and taking notes right away. He was also able to provide with with a quote right there on the spot which I also appreciated. Upon doing some further research, I learned that - on average - pricing for plantation shutters run about $18 - $22/square foot. Based on the quote I was given and the square footage I had, my pricing was exactly $22. So, it was on the high end and not exactly "budget blinds." However, I took that pricing to be the non-Angie's List pricing. Since neither Andy nor the person who answered their phone were ever informed by us that we were members of Angie's List or did we ever inquire about their 30% coupon on the Angie's List website, we called back and stated that we saw their Angie's List coupon for 30% discount and would move forward with the proposal with such a discount. To our surprise, the women on the phone stated that the pricing already included the Angie's List discount - which was a bald faced lie. She never knew we were Angie's List nor did Andy ever mention it or denote it on his proposal and their $22/square foot pricing goes against their pricing including a 30% discount. It made my wife and I question the trustworthiness of this company and we decided right then and there we would be taking our business elsewhere. Needless to say, I was really disappointed for I really liked Andy and was impressed with his punctuality, professionalism and work ethic. Maybe there is a disconnect with him and the person who answers his phones which looks to be the business manager, but it really left a bad taste in our mouths and hence the bad rating we provided - it was just dishonest and the coupon on Angie's List is false advertising.

Installer did a great job---found a flaw in one of the shutters which I did not see and ordered a replacement. I was very pleased with the professional installation of my shutters. Would not hesitate to do business with Budget Blinds in the future. This is my second experience with Budget Blinds, first one was in Louisiana. Lisa was very pleasant to work with.

The shutters are fantastic! They look amazing and really help with keeping the heat in and the cold out! There were two appointments- first one for measurements and the second for installation. Both were on time and friendly. The estimate and measurements were quick and allowed me to get back to work within my lunch hour. The estimate was right on what I was expecting to pay. The installation also was right on time with the estimate of when they would be there. I was very satisfied with the whole experience and now that the shutters have been in for over a year, I am really reaping the benefits of losing less air out the window.

Great experience dealing with this company. Some other people that we know have used this company previously so we decided to give them a call. They installed several shutters in our living room, dining room, and breakfast nook area. I got several quotes from companies, and I definitely felt the most comfortable with this company as these products are their bread and butter. They are able to manufacture the shutters in a way that allowed us to keep our molding that is around our windows without having to add more molding around our windows. Other companies told me that we needed to add molding around our windows to hide the hardware and the side of the shutters, but the shutters look great. I wish I could provide pictures with this review as the quality of their work is top notch. I would definitely recommend their products and services.

They were very nice and professional. They were on time for the work, with a very satisfactory time line. The workers were so focused that you couldn't hardly tell they were here(very quiet).

Chrissy, Jason and Mike provided excellent customer service from our initial meeting to installation. They explained all of our options thoroughly and communicated on a regular basis from the day we ordered our window coverings to the day they were installed. Jason must have measured accurately as all of the shutters and the shades fit perfectly! Installation went smoothly and Jason and Mike made sure our home was left clean. We highly recommend Skyline Window Coverings! Thank you Chrissy, Jason and Mike!

We love our new plantation shutters. The price quoted was way lower than other places, and they were great about the installation and keeping us up to date with the order status. I wouldn't hesitate to use them again.

Bill & Linda were very responsive with coming to our home and with their estimate was immediate. The installation went seamlessly and they were in and out within an hour. I am so pleased with the result. We had plantation shutters in our living room installed 5 years ago and they are bulky and boxy looking compared to these. They make a great team and I have already passed along their name to someone else.

They came out and measured. It took a little while to get him out here, but he was very professional. He showed us all of our options. They were custom made so it took about 4 to 6 weeks. There was one man who did all the windows and he only took about 45 minutes. The shutters look fantastic. This is the best home improvement deal I have ever had.
