"Ross and partner were punctual and professional. They completed the installation in time quoted. They remedied the old bracket with a new one. They adjusted one screw hold of the light fixture."

"The lighting work Apex provided was great. It was the lighting up of the landscape by pros. We give Apex a high approval rating."

"The people we had contact with were very nice.  The person who installed the shutters did a good job and was friendly and professional.  The shutters look like a quality product.
 
The main thing is, I should have done my research before I contacted the company.  I knew shutters look nice, but I didn't know anything about the workings of shutters.  I knew I wanted to be able to close the bottom for privacy, and have the top open, and vice versa.  Turns out, the center divider rail is exactly at my eye level.  When the bottom shutters are closed, I can not see out the window.  This is no ones fault but my own.  I just didn't give it any thought.  I feel very closed in.  I want to keep the shutters in the three bedrooms, but eventually replace the shutters with blinds, in the kitchen.

Since my original review, Mark, the sales person from The Blind Guy, contacted me.  He said he wanted us to be happy with our choices in window coverings, and he offered to replace the four shutters in the kitchen with blinds.  He said we could have them at cost.  They are committed to customer service, and they do not want unhappy customers.  I was amazed that they cared!  I really appreciated the phone call and we made an appt for Mark to come out and measure the windows for blinds. 

Mark came out and did the measuring for the blinds.  I wanted to keep the frames and remove the existing shutter panels, and install blinds into the frames, if that was possible.  Mark took a look at it and said it could be done.  I wanted to keep the frames because they're really beautiful, and dress up the windows.

On 3/18/15 an installer came out and removed the shutter panels and installed the new blinds.  I had already bought kitchen curtains for the windows, and put them up after the installer was finished.  My windows are perfect.  I am so happy.  I can see out my kitchen windows easily, and I just feel more comfortable with the blinds.  Our kitchen windows are the only windows facing the street.  We are saving the shutter panels.  If we ever decide to sell the house we'll put the shutter panels back in, which will increase the value of the house. 

The shutters in the three bedrooms are wonderful.  Two of the windows face west, and get the afternoon sun.  It's really great to be able to control the light coming into the rooms, and it's going to make a big difference during the summer months.

The people we had contact with at The Blind Guys were very professional, friendly, and did a good job.  We would use them again.  Many thanks to The Blind Guys!

"I can see why Voltz Electric has so many five star reviews. They not only were able to schedule our installation within a week of contacting them, they also did an outstanding job of carefully removing and replacing 11 light fixtures inside and outside of our home. One installation was a pendant over the stairs, requiring the right type of ladder to ensure safety while installing. On time, very careful, professional installation. And took the time to do a careful cleanup of all areas, including vacuuming up the bits of Styrofoam and cardboard from the new fixture packing materials. Thank you! BTW, the price was in concert with two other estimates I received, so not overpriced."

"Everything turned out fine. When it first arrived, it was damaged in the shipping. It took them quite a while to get something back to us, or even to call me back when I wrote to them. But then, once they got the ball rolling, it went very quickly. It took them probably about a month to even get back to me. The price was very good. Once somebody actually did speak with me, they were very responsive. They were pretty professional when I spoke to them. I just think that they were light on manpower."
