There were no problems. It was a very small job. They did what they were supposed to do. It was a little more expensive than we anticipated. They were a little pricey. I called them about a couple of months ago with a question of whether they repair blinds and I never got a reply. They lady said, Well, depend on whether we install them or not. I'll get back with you", and she never did.
Description of Work: They put in some blinds, just a couple of blinds.

We are very happy with the window treatments we purchased from Budget Blinds. The blinds arrived exactly when they were promised to be installed. The quality is excellent, and we have received many compliments on them. The service and the blinds exceeded my expectations. Dan, the installer, also did a great job. We highly recommend!
Description of Work: We dealt with the owner, Barry. He took the time to educate us on the various products and options available and didn't pressure us with our decision.

Barry was most helpful in helping us decide on styles and colors. He was easy to get hold of and he took the initiative to let us know about a delay before we had to call and ask what was up. Big thumbs up for that. He also seemed to want to help us save money. The only problem with that might have been that we wound up with the default valance on the vertical blinds without even really knowing what it looked like, and I think we would have preferred an upgrade. The blinds themselves look great for a fraction of what we would have paid for Hunter Douglas and I doubt there's a significant difference in quality. The ding on the professionalism scale is that the installer had to have been the one to break the old indoor/outdoor thermometer we had on the kitchen windows, but he refused to even acknowledge that he might have unknowingly done it. Thing is, there's no other possible explanation for it suddenly breaking the day he was there. This is not that big a deal -- we replaced it -- but it wasn't cool that he insisted that he couldn't have broken it. All in all, however, we are pleased with the blinds and the service.
Description of Work: Installed blinds in kitchen, family room and office, including vertical blinds on a slider.

Barry from Budget Blinds came out for what we thought would be a sales call to replace our family room blinds but instead became a repair call when we realized a minor repair could solve our issue vs the more expensive route of replacing the blinds. Barry repaired our existing blinds on the spot, and recommended a service that could clean them, none of which meant a sale for him but he did it all with honesty and professionalism. We would definitely recommend him.

Barry is great! He responded quickly, made an appointment, and he arrived promptly. He showed us several samples and options and he had great (but overbearing) suggestions as to fabric and color. We have four huge picture windows and we opted for electronic blinds with remotes; Barry suggested the less-expensive remote system and we LOVE them! We needed new blinds for almost the entire house, since we had just replaced nearly all of the windows and trim, and Barry was not only budget-friendly but he also made the whole process stress-free and worry-free. We needed a few adjustments and corrections after installation, and Barry made sure it got done right away. We highly recommend Barry and Budget Blinds.

He did a great job. He came here, I didn't go to his place of business. He did a good job, he came when he was supposed to, but he was a little late. He came with his samples and he was just helpful. I think it was a good price.

,We were pleased with the wooden shutters for the bedrooms. We were pleased with the look of the the kitchen bay area window window treatment, but contacted Barry shortly after installation as the largest of the treatments was sagging in the middle. He came out and looked at it and said he would contact his rep. They sent him an email with instructions as to how to straighten. He came back, tried it, and it still sags. If I had known this would happen, I would have selected a different type of treatment. I think this window is too large for any type of natural fabric with a natural fold. We also selected their natural averte product for the family room. I was unsure about it - so Barry invited me up to the main hq to view the product. Unfortunately, because it needs a lining, it doesn't lay as nicely as it did at HQ. It looks sloppy. Barry has come out a few times to try to readjust. He moved the material out further from the wall as it was getting caught. We have also had a bolt pop out and it came off the track. Barry has provided good customer service, but we are not happy with this product.
Description of Work: We replaced the windows in the majority of our rooms in our house, after a remodel. We received several estimates from various companies. Budget Blinds came in with the best price for comparable items. We purchased new kitchen bay area window treatments and one over the sink, family room for sliding glass door and all bedrooms. Barry was patient with the process as we weren't completely sure what we wanted. The family room was the biggest obstacle as it faces south and has sun all day. Barry came out several times and let us hold on to sample so we could see the shade variations in different lights throughout the day.

I called first and a male answer the phone. He took down my infromation and said that they were really busy and a representive would get back with me. He then he hung up with me really sudden. I was a little frustrated, because they didnt even ask me why I was calling in the first place. Alsa after he took down my information, he said they would call me back, and they never did. So I called back again, a few times, and it was the same situation all over again. I waited around for a couple more hours and decided to call back. This time a female answered the phone. She also took down my information, but again, didn't ask why I was calling in the first place. I was a little frustrated, because I was a potential customer and I wanted Mr. Wineburg to come and put in my blinds. I still have not gotten a call back from them, even after the multiple people I spoke on the phone with, who told me that they would pass along my information. I understand if they are happy with the way that their is business, but I don't know why anyone would turn down a new paying customer. I don't like the fact that the people who answer the phones tell you they are going to pass along your information, even though I feel like they never do. I would not recommend this company to anyone.

Response from Budget Blinds of Glenview
I am sorry this person is unhappy she did not get a call back as soon as she would like; however, I am unable to service Des Plaines. Budget Blinds is a franchise, and we all have exclusive territories we own. Another franchisee owns the Des Plaines territory, so she is the one that would have to service this customer. My office staff works part time; and when they are not in, I have an answering service that takes my calls - which was the case the day she called. I have been using the same answering service for years and have never had any complaints about them. When I saw this negative review, I called the supervisor at my answering service and had her play the recorded phone calls for me. Their records show this customer called 3 times and left 2 messages. The person answering the phone explained that we were on appointments with other customers, that they were the answering service operator, and that they would get a message to me - which they did. My opinion is that the operator was very polite and professional. I received the 1st message at 9:44 a.m.; but since it indicated the person calling was in Des Plaines, the Budget Blinds protocol is to forward the message to the person that owns that territory, which I did. After that it is out of my control. I received a 2nd message at 2:15 p.m. and also forwarded that message. The Des Plaines franchise owner later notified me that she had been in a seminar, and on appointments with other customers that had booked their appointments several days prior. She called this woman back as soon as she returned to the office at 4:00 p.m. - the same days as all of the phone calls. She said the woman told her she had called 4 times, refused to talk to her, and hung up on her. The expectations of this customer was that we would come out that same day, which is rarely the case as we are often booked several days in advance. I work very hard to take good care of my customers. I hope Angie's List customers will make their decision to purchase based on all the other positive reviews I have from people that have bought from me, and not penalize me based on a negative review from someone in an area I cannot service.

We had the intitial consultation in which Barry was extremely helpful in helping us decide which window treatments suited us in not only functionality but color scheme. He kept our budget in mind and suggested treatments that would suit our needs (black out shades, retractible draw string, etc.) while giving the pros and cons of all types. The actual installment was done quickly, but high quality. I would highly recommend them to anyone in the area who needs window treatments.

From the initial phone call to Barry I received professionalism and a great attitude. The consultation was great, we found exactly what we were looking for and were able to take care of getting exactly what we wanted for a decent price and reliable work. The installer was a really great guy as well, very courteous and helpful. Barry's company was all class, never missing an appointment and showing up on time. He did a good, clean job and we are thrilled with our window treatments. We will definitely be calling Barry again within the next few months to finish the rest of our windows!
Description of Work: We had window treatments for our main floor as well as a large sliding door in our 4th bedroom on the lower level (we live in a split level). We really wanted Hunter Douglas silhouettes and a nice vertical for the sliding door.

The installer appeared as scheduled and did a very efficient and excellent job. We were pleased not only with the installation, but with the color and quality suggestions given by the owner originally. We are very pleased and would definitely call them again.
Description of Work: We wanted to put drapes in our living room window/sliding door. The owner came by with samples. He even had good suggestions after I asked if my original choice wasn't too bland (it was). He took measurements for the door. He knew we were trying to be economical and steered us to very nice choices. Several weeks later we got a call from the installer who scheduled time with us.

Barry was fantastic! He promptly returned my phone calls, listened well to what I was looking for, thoughtfully offered various options, did not seem rushed (we had a lot of "little" repairs and installations and needed suggestions on how to handle them), had a good selection of products, was very professional, conveyed a sense of trust and pride in his work, and delivered and installed products when promised. At times he offered a more economical way of doing something, when he could have easily made more money otherwise. Barry made some minor repairs and adjustments for no extra charge--greatly appreciated! We are very satisfied with the work done and with the quality of the blinds and will not hesitate to call Budget Blinds in the future.

I had gotten an estimate for living room blinds that I thought was high and wanted another. I saw the excellent reviews that Barry and Budget Blinds of Glenview had received on Angie's List so I gave him a call. He happened to be in the area so he came over the same day! I was thrilled. He recommended window treatments within my budget and was not high pressure to go a more expensive route or to even buy them at all. He is knowledgable about his products (he has a wide range), he carries samples and is very pleasant and professional. I ordered my shades that day. The shades arrived within the timeframe he quoted and they were installed by Barry within days. The installation took about 15 minutes. Overall, we are very pleased with our entire experience. I would highly recommend Budget Blinds of Glenview for their professionalism, fair price and prompt service. I will definitely call Barry again for any further window treatment needs.

This is the second time we have used Barry from Budget Blinds and have been very happy both times. This time we needed blinds for our 2nd bedroom and kitchen and we went with the same blinds as the master bedroom. I emailed Barry to setup an appointment to meet with my wife and I to measure and get a price for installed window blinds. He met us at our home on time and was quick and professional. Barry said it would take 2 weeks to order and get the blinds and the 2nd week he called and setup a day to install the blinds. Installation was fast when he got to our home and did not leave a mess. He does what he says he is going to do and in a timely manner. We would highly recommend Barry and his services. The quality of the products we had installed were great and even better they look great. Thank you Barry.

barry Weinberg was our rep. We had just completed the renovation of our kitchen and the one thing remaining was the window treatments. We contacted Barry and set up an appointment for him to come out. Barry arrived on time with numerous samples. He helped my husband and I pick out the blinds and appreciated all the time he spent with us. He had a lot of patience as I was very indecisive. He was very pleasant and easy to work with. The woodblinds were ordered and came in a timely manner. We set up the date to have them installed. He did a great job of installing them and we love them. The blinds completed the room. We were delighted with our choice. I wouldn't hesitate in recommending Barry to any of my friends.
Description of Work: sold and installed window covering on 4 windows in kitchen.
