I've used Window Shades approx 3 times and every time they have been courteous, fast and fair priced. It's like walking into a "home town" store - very professional and returned my calls promptly.

Mark Came out to the house and showed us samples of window shades for the master bedroom. Measured the 5 windows and one door, gave estimate/bid. We selected the design. We determined we wanted to go with the company. Mark said how long it would take and it took exactly that amount of time. A person contacted us to install the shades. He did an excellent job. We we extremely pleased with the entire process.

Minneapolis Window Shade Company was recommended by our decorator. I called them, explained our problem, and we set up an appointment two days later. Their workman, Mark Trump, was on time to the minute, knew exactly what was wrong, and recommended the repair that he performed. At first he said that he would make an appointment for another installer to come, but then he discovered that he had all of the necessary materials in his truck, so he did the repair immediately. I was grateful to have this done so quickly and also not to have an additional trip charge, which I assume that we might have had.
Description of Work
He re-installed eight Roman shades that were not working well after we had repair work done on our windows and provided four plastic pulls where they were missing.

The nice thing about this company is that they are open during the weekend. I brought my mini blind to them on Saturday. They told me it will be done by Tuesday. They called me when the work was completed and it was done when they said it was going to be done. The blinds work very well.
Description of Work
My window mini blind's cord broke. The service replaced the cord.

Excellent!
Description of Work
We wanted 3 windows covered with new shades: 2 bedroom windows w/ blackout shades, and 1 bathroom window with a slightly translucent shade. I went to this company's store, and spoke with Mark about what we wanted. He was extremely friendly & helpful, and he came to the house to measure and price the job. 2 weeks later, the shades were installed by one of their installers, and we couldn't be happier with their work. Great job!

Mark arrived on time and got right to work - it did not take him long to complete the work and he was very personable.
Description of Work
We had a broken pulley mechanism on some very pricey toothpick window shades. Mark was able to replace the part in just about one hour - I was grateful that we did not need to replace the entire shade for one little broken part. I would recommend this company for bigger jobs based on my experience with them on this very small job - this is a family owned business - Dad and son - please call Mark if you need any work done to repair blinds and also if you need new blinds - he is fabulous!

Mark came to measure for window treatments. He was professional, courteous and patiently answered my questions. When I couldn't make up my mind, he helped me decide which color blinds to use and he came back to install about a week later. Mark was great to work with and did a good job with installation. He worked around my schedule and was very accommodating. I am extremely happy with my window treatments and I will definitely use this company again. I have no problem recommending them to family and friends.

We have used them multiple times and continue to be very happy with the quality of their work and their service. They are family owned and have a lot of experience with roller blinds. They are much cheaper than other companies we have used in the past BUT with better quality AND faster friendlier service. There was one mistake (more of a miscommunication) with the last install we had, but they reordered the valance, corrected it within 10 days and did not charge for it and gave us exactly what we wanted. So far we have used them for 10 windows in 3 rooms and we would not use anyone else. The windows look great, you really will have a good experience using them. All in all we are delighted.
Description of Work
Make and Install 4 window shade treatments (roller blinds)with room darkening backs and valances from fabric we supplied.
