About us

We are a family owned, locally based custom window coverings business. We offer all types of blinds, plantation shutters, and custom drapery products. We barely advertise, relying almost exclusively on customer referrals, so we are committed to offering you the highest quality products, excellent pricing, and professional installation (you will be dealing with the same person from the sale all the way through the install). We are one of the largest Hunter Douglas dealers in the Chicagoland area as well as one of the largest Norman Shutter dealers in the Chicagoland area. Because the design eyes as well as the installer eyes are on each project from the beginning, we specialize in custom installations that focus on creative solutions that get the most out of every window (inside mounting where everything points to an outside mount, for example).

I have used  Brendan for all of my window treatments since moving into my current townhouse. He does an EXCELLENT job. He has installed custom shutters that are beautiful, a roman shade that I love, and other hunter douglas blinds. He is very artistic and his suggestions have always resulted in a perfect solution for my window treatments. He is easy to work with and very patient. I know you will not be disappointed if you use Brendan for any window treatment.

Brendan was very knowledgeable, helpful and very customer service oriented.  He made good recommendations.  Delivery and installation went very well with minor adjustments.  We love the look and will be coming back for more!

It was excellent.  It was very convenient and Brendan was very knowledgeable.  His brother Louis came out and did the installation, everything is fine.  We're very pleased with the results.

Brendan Hurrle, owner of Blue Sky Blinds, knows his product well.  After meeting with two other companies, I decided on Blue Sky Blinds to provide window treatments for a home I purchased approximately 375 miles from where I actually live.  Brendan was extremely accommodating in meeting with me when I was in the area, offered wonderful suggestions, sent samples to my residence, answered emails promptly, returned phone calls promptly, and was patient while I made my decision.  During my decision making process, he did not pressure me but did keep in touch so that I knew he was interested in my business.  At the time of installation, again accommodating me while in the area for only four days after Christmas, he made sure that everything was to my satisfaction.  He also informed me of rebates and of a tax credit for the honeycombs I selected.  I will definitely call upon him again when I move to this home and am ready for draperies.  Window treatments was a major concern for me, but he made it easy.  Because of his expertise and honesty, along with his wonderful personality, and of the quality of his product, I highly recommend Brendan of Blue Sky Blinds to others.

Brendon responded quickly to my call and came out with samples of various window coverings.  Everything went very well and we now have beautiful luminette sheers in the kitchen and draperies in the dining/living room areas.  Brendon even helped my husband install a blind in the kitchen that we had not ordered from him which was very much appreciated.

It went fine. He quoted the job months ago and when we were able to move forward the price had not changed. The job was completed quickly. They even painted trim that my kids had nicked but was not part of their job. Nice one person from start to finish.

Blue Sky was able to come to our house to look at options and provide an estimate the day on which I called. Blinds were delivered and installed on schedule as promised. Look great. No issues whatsoever. Would definintely use in future.
Response from Blue Sky Blinds, Inc.
"This was a quick job for some basement windows. As (deleted member name) said everything was a breeze. Hopefully the "B" on price was based on the fact that we ended up using Hunter Douglas honeycombs instead of a less expensive brand."

Very well.  They came out and measured the three windows and returned to install the windows ahead of schedule.

Brendan spent an afternoon working with me and advising me on window treatments for our Living room, dining room, two bedrooms, family room, bathroom, and laundry room.  I chose him without bidding out the service because  of an Angie's list review which explained that not only was he the least expensive, but he could offer solutions that other companies did not, such as putting a blind on a skylight.  I called thinking that I wanted natural roller blinds in all of these rooms and after a in depth discussion of room functions, he suggested  Silhouettes which, now that they are installed, are exactly what we needed.  I liked him immedately because he walked into our living room (with floor to ceiling windows in an A-frame room) and said, "I wouldn't put anything on these" - He concurred with another idea I had about putting a coating on these  windows that would  block out the heating UV rays.  Not only that but he also talked about the angle of the sun which produces the most heat so I didn't even have to treat all of the windows.  This showed me  that he is more concerned with customer satisfaction than a big sale.  He offered me a beautiful solution that I would have never figured out myself.   He had excellent tools that made it easy to visualize the projects he suggested.  He is extremely knowledable and explains details very well.  The install was fast and uneventful.  He disposed of all existing window treatments,  showed me how to work everthing, and left no mess behind.   My husband and I are thrilled with the results.  The silhouettes add a clean line and simple sophistication to each room.   Even the outside of the house looks better!

"It was a pleasure working with the customer. We spent some time on the front end looking at all our choices, and the pros/cons involved (price vs. style vs. function). As she mentioned, she had some ideas going in, but she had a lot of windows and hadn't seen all of the available options. We settled on the Silhouette product, and I'm really glad to hear how satisfied she is after living with them for a few weeks. I was really impressed in how much of a difference them made to the interior feel, as well as the curb appeal of the house. Great experience on both sides, start to finish, which is always my goal. Thanks again !"

This was good experience. I had treatments on 7 windows and a sliding door. We did have to reschedule once. He was on time. The pricing was reasonable.

VERY positive experience.
He was always punctual.  And if was going to be late at all, he would call to tell me.
He was fair and very knowledgable on his products and materials.  His recommendations were great.
At install, he was professional and did the job quickly and very well.
We are very happy with our blinds and skylight covers.

Great.  Brendan was very prompt to return our phone calls and set up a consultation.  He came over and spent a lot of time with us picking out blinds.  We had to postpone our order for some time and let him know.  He promptly followed up with us after the time period I had told him - and we were happy to have him come out again and finalize the order.  He knew we had a deadline with a party we were hosting in our house and made sure the install took place before the party.  Great to work with and professional throughout.  He does the consult, measurement and install himself and you get great quality and customer service throughout.

Everything went well.  Blue Sky was the least expensive of the companies we contacted, and they really helped us to the lowest price without sacrificing quality.  They were great to work with as well.

I am the type of person that always does his research before choosing a service provider.  After meeting with four window treatment companies, it was an easy choice to make.  Brendan from Blue Sky Blinds was not only the best priced, but he was able to mount our shutters inside the windows, as opposed to mounting them outside the trim work.  We were able to see his work first hand as a family friend also had Blue Sky Blinds install their shutters.  Brendan's work is incredible.  My wife and I are extremely happy with the Norman shutters and Hunter Douglas Vignettes.  As Brendan does all the measuring, price quoting and installation himself, we were taken care of throughout the entire process.  We have already recommended Blue Sky Blinds to our family and friends.
