Blinds By Design Inc

From my first contact with Doug, he and Maria were wonderful to work with. They were both professional and personable and very responsive with my inquiries. My plantation shutters were installed quickly and efficiently and with great care. The shutters look beautiful throughout the home and I am very happy with all aspects of working with Doug and Maria. I would highly recommend and would certainly contact them in the future for window treatments.

Doug and Maria were awesome! They were professional, prompt, and were very responsive with our inquiries. We had another company come in and appraised what we needed for our window treatments but are very happy that we went with Doug and Maria! Our blinds and cellular shades were installed as expected and we believe we got our money's worth. We went through a very smooth transaction with no stress and no headache! Thank you!!

Doug and Maria are awesome!!! So glad they are the one we picked. From our very first meeting, their knowledge, professionalism and expertise were just what we were looking for. We got what we wanted, installed in time for our move into our new home, and now enjoying the fruits of their labor! They are a precious couple who work well together. Any questions or help we needed after the job was completed, they were more than happy to answer and help. They were there for us through the whole process. Recommend them very highly. They will get the job done!

We had such a positive experience with Blinds by Design in September that we recommended Doug and Maria to our family who built a new home just down the road from us. Once again, from initial contact to final installation Doug and Maria really go above and beyond. They made multiple trips to the house during construction to finalize measurements and the design. Scheduling was right on. They made sure orders were placed and that everything was ready by the time the house closed so a speedy installation could be done. They were also kind enough to re-schedule the install due to a change in the closing date and accommodate us during the busy holiday schedule. Doug and Maria are professional, provide quality products, great advice, exceptional installation services and are among the nicest people you are likely to meet. It is truly a pleasure doing business with them. Have no hesitations or doubts about this company. They come with the highest recommendation possible.

Doug and Maria were very professional and knowledgable. Compared quotes from different companies and their price was only slightly higher but for a better quality product. Very happy with the results!

Professionalism and excellent service from the initial estimate all the way through the final shutters install. I ended up selecting Blinds By Design to provide plantation shutters for my new home after getting estimates from several suppliers I found here on Angie's List. Their price was competitive and they presented a large variety of quality products and options that meet my requirements after talking about what I wanted for the house. The lead time to receive the shutters was consistent with all of the top reviewed companies here on Angie's List. There was one issue with the kitchen window, as a result of finish-out to the house that happened between measuring the windows and the blinds coming in. Though the issue was not the fault of Blinds by Design by any means, and they certainly had no obligation to solve the issue... they were very quick to offer solutions and helped solve the problem in a way that was the most budget friendly. Doug and Maria take great pride in being precise and client service oriented. I wish more contractors and suppliers ran their business with as much integrity and professional as they do. I highly recommend them to anyone looking for blinds, shutters or shades for their home.

Blinds by Design, (Doug & Maria), personally came to the house for the initial consultation and to measure our windows, and I received my quote at the time of their visit. I also received one competitive bid from another highly-recommended Angie's List vendor, which was slightly less, but we chose Blinds by Design because the plantation shutters were solid-poly (versus composite), and were manufactured locally in Orlando (versus China). The turnaround time from the order date to the installation was better than expected and the customer service was exceptional. We are very pleased.

Included in updating my ten year old home was replacing wooden blinds with plantation shutters. I had several bids and found this one was competitive. Also, at the consultation I was given an education about the difference in construction of the competitor shutters versus those supplied by Blinds by Design, which sealed the deal. Doug and Maria were very professional, informative and reliable. They took their time with me to answer all questions, offered advise on the best choice of options for each window, and went above and beyond by helping me choose a carpet color for my updating project. The shutters were ready exactly when promised. They were installed today and everything was perfectly measured and look great. The installers were fast and professional. Doug called shortly thereafter to make sure I was happy with shutters and the whole process. I am happy and highly recommend this company.

Douglas and Maria are a great team. Professional, punctual, and service-oriented. Their product is excellent and their customer service amazing. They are one of the very few, select vendors who actually delivered and installed the product on-time, on the day we had agreed on. We are very happy with the window treatments we purchased from them, and would certainly recommend them to anyone else looking for a great product and great service.

Doug and Maria are a very good team. They have a wide variety of great collection for blinds and shades.

My husband and I were relocating from NY to Orlando and building a house. We knew that we did not want to use the builder's window-treatment offering, but we were baffled at the array of choices in the area. After doing a lot of online research, I reached out to several vendors. Doug and Maria got back to us right away. They provided us with clear, concise information and options with realistic prices. They even traveled to the model home that we selected to give us more true estimates and advice based on a home similar to ours that was already built. It was really reassuring to work with them from so far away and to know that we were being taken care of by perfectionists and professionals. We are thrilled with our plantation shutters and motorized blinds. They look great, they function well and we now have beautiful privacy in our new home. THANKS DOUG AND MARIA :-)

Replacing builder quality blinds when we purchased our home was a priority. After getting input and quotes from several firms, we selected Blinds By Design. They had products we had not seen before that were of excellent quality and more reasonable than we had seen. We actually changed our decorating concept and were able to increase the scope of the project because of the favorable price. We strongly would recommend this company. Doug and Maria were knowledgable and professional .

Doug and Marie are wonderful to work with! In addition to being prompt, courteous, and professional, they provide a quality product. If we decide we need additional window treatments in our home, I will definitely call them again.

Both during the sale and the install, Blinds by Design have been remarkable. They are wonderful to deal with, professional, have no hidden costs/fees, perform fast service, and produce an absolutely beautiful finished product! We couldn't be happier!

Although it took approximately 4 weeks longer than originally estimated, the window treatments were absolutely beautiful and we're installed professionally. I would recommend Blinds by Design and would definitely use their service again.

Doug and Maria were a pleasure to deal with. I knew nothing about plantation shutters, or all the types and options available to me. So armed with some pictures from Houzz and Pinterest I met with Doug and Maria. Doug was very informative - showing me examples of good and bad quality shutters, explaining the manufacturing process, and showing me actual samples or pictures that illustrated all the options available. This helped me make an informed decision regarding the type and color shutters that I wanted for my home. After our initial estimate, I had a number of questions before I made my final choices, and when I wanted to add some additional shutters, Doug came back out to measure those windows promptly. Once I signed the contract, Doug immediately gave me a date for installation and met that date. The installation crew showed up exactly when they said they would, giving me a call prior to arrival. They installed all the shutters within a couple hours upon arriving and gave me some tips on keeping my shutters in great shape. Doug followed up later that day to make sure I was satisfied with the installation. I had a great experience with everyone involved and my home looks absolutely gorgeous! I highly recommend Blinds By Design from start to finish!

Blinds by Design did a superb job with the solar shades we purchased from them. We had an extremely large dining room window that is normally difficult to install properly. Doug and Maria successfully met that change and did an exceptional job in that installation. Blinds by Design provides an exceptional product and their work is first rate. Doug and Maria are a pleasure to deal with, making the entire process totally stress free. I would definitely use them again and I encourage anyone who wants window treatments to give them a call.

Timeframe for delivery and installation went as scheduled and promised. Installers were very professional and cleaned up after completion. Shortly after, Doug and Maria came by to inspect the installation and deliver and install a blind for our dining room which arrived later that day due to a manufacture shipping error. Please note - this was not a problem to us at all and one that was quickly resolved by Doug and Maria. While they were here, I decided to order a back up set of verticals for precautionary measures because we have a 10 month old stubborn Boston Terrier. Maria e-mailed me the next business day to confirm the order and even had it shipped directly to us. If you want courteous professionals who stay in touch until the very end, let Doug and Maria help you design your blind, shutter or vertical installation. Doug and Maria in my opinion are down to earth, very friendly professionals. Prompt, communicative and care about how you perceive the quality of their work!!! Finally, we are very, very happy with our window treatments. And that special order shutter?? AWESOME!!!! Excellent job you guys!! You rock! I would recommend you to everyone and use you again should the need arise. Mike and Julie Vand D***

Doug and Maria were a pleasure to work with. Very personable and dependable. The blinds were ordered and installed in a timely and professinal manner. They were knowledgeable and helpful in answering questions and in helping sort through the many samples that were options. I am very happy with the blinds and enjoyed meeting the couple.

The job from start to finish was a pleasure. Doug and his team always arrived on time and ready to install all of the custom shutters and shades they had made for us. We could not have been happier with the quality of workmanship and service that Blinds by Design delivered. When we weren't sure about a particular design, fabric or color, their recommendations all turned out to be exactly what we were hoping for. We had looked and compared prices and reviews by other companies (local and on line) and could not find a better fit for what we were looking for. Blinds by Design did not disappoint and there were no redo's. We have recommended them to friends. They are the company we would go back to again for any window treatment need.

The whole process was easy, and everything went well. Once Doug and I coordinated our schedules, he and Maria came out with the samples and measured the windows to be replaced. Their meaurements and our product selection took approximately 90 minutes. The product was ready 5-6 weeks later, and installed approximately 2 weeks after that. There were absolutely no hitches in the whole process. The installation took about 90 minutes, and the installed product looks and functions perfectly. This is a small business operated by personable and knowledgeable people. If you are looking for a U.S. manufactured, high quality, and competitively priced plantation shutter, then I would recommend Doug and Maria to you.

We purchased our blinds 6 years ago. One blind was 126 inches wide. When the cord broke recently, they replaced it with a stronger, newer version cord at no cost to us. Not many vendors would do that.....and cheerfully too.

I searched Angie's List when I needed plantation shutters for my house I purchased in Leesburg, Florida. Blinds by Design had high reviews. I had never used Angie's List previously and was a bit skeptical about services and businesses listed. I was pleased that Angie's List proved helpful. Doug Faivre the owner and installer was courteous and friendly when I called for an appointment to measure the windows for the first job this past fall. I was so satisfied with my shutters that I decided to order more for other windows. His wife Maria accompanied him and gave helpful suggestions concerning the style and color of the plantation shutters. Each time a reasonable, precise quote was submitted. Because of Doug's extensive experience in the window industry, he fits them precisely. My windows are not exactly square. How he installed them impressed me. Not only is his work exact, but also he and Maria work efficiently. The installation required much less time than I anticipated. If I had more windows that required shutters, Blinds by Design would be the only company I would have install them.

Everything went very well and I have now called them again to put Solar shades in the Lanai. They are so easy to work with. Always very pleasant.

It was a great experience from start to finish. They are a little pricey but still a good value since the roll up shades we purchased look great and are of excellent quality. They are also custom fitted so that explains the price. They work flawlessly and have a durable feel to them when we retract them. They took some time to be manufactured so the interval between product selection / sizing and installation was more than we would have liked but again, with a custom fit product, this is to be expected. All in all, terrific company and I would certainly do business with them again!
