The shutters turned out great. It did take close to 3 months from order to installation, but there was a difficult arched window involved, so I did not think the timing was unreasonable.

Eight years ago I had window shutters installed for all windows in my house by The Blind Man. Service at that time was excellent. I recently called them to have shutters installed on my sliding doors. From the first phone call to the installation of the new shutters, all employees gave excellent, prompt service. I am happy that the company is still providing the same excellent service that I experienced eight years ago. The installers were very professional and courteous, left no mess. I definitely recommend The Blind Man.

Throughout the past 7.5 years they have had to come out numerous times to either stretch the blind, balance to make even, fill or replace the string. Remember, and quot;these have a lifetime guarantee!and quot; What no one told me was every time I called them for assistance there was a service charge. I paid the service charge over and over again. The last I called them was few months ago. I first talked to a salesperson and when I told her about the product, I heard those words......and quot;they are such a bad product, I would NEVER RECOMMEND them to a customerand quot;. Then I was transferred to the owner's daughter. What an experience that was. One I would never want someone to go through. It seems I had used all of my and quot;lifetime warrantiesand quot;. She did have the manufacture contact me, who came out. Spent over fours trying to straighten them out. That lasted two days and here we are again. I decided to throw them away, and replace with blinds. I know who I would not use as dealing with his daughter is one of the worst experiences I have ever had. Wish me luck....maybe I will get a and quot;lifetime warrantyand quot;.

Response from The Blind Man Inc
We have only charged this customer a trip charge once since the blinds were purchased in 2006. This occurred in 2013 which was the last time she stated she needed a repair done.The reason they were uneven, is because the windows were so badly out of square. We tried to shim the brackets to keep the shades from appearing to pull up crooked. We did contact the representative from the manufacture to see if there was anyway to shorten the stings on one side to accommodate the inconsistent window. The manufacture was going to handle the issues with the cords breaking. Mrs. Brent called in May of 2014 to have our decorator meet with her in her home to replace the blinds. However, she did not order new blinds. No one from The Blind Man, Inc. has spoken with Mrs. Brent since this time. If there were other issues since then, we were unaware of them. All products do have a lifetime warranty. However, after a year, we do charge a service charge for our installer to come to your home. The labor and parts are completely free. If the customer chose to bring the blind to our office, there would be no service charge at all. We have never informed a customer that they have "used up all of their lifetime warranties". Each time a decorator meets a customer in their home, their vehicle is fully stocked with all samples of the products we carry. If the customer requests a particular product, we bring that in to start with. We offer full design services if a customer needs advice on which type of window treatments would work best for them. This customer also ordered shutters, so the cell shades were not the only product she was shown. She was also quoted at the same time for pleated shades. She chose the cellular shades.The decorator who met with this customer has a sales history of this products being the 3rd most sold. She didn't inform Mrs. Brent that this was a "Bad Product". The statements made by this customer are incorrect. We do have records stating these events. Mrs. Brent did not want to pay the trip fee after she had already agreed to pay this charge prior to the service date. She spoke to the Office Manager, who is the owners daughter, and got very upset when she was told she would still be responsible for this charge. The installer did everything that he was supposed to do, and the shade was repaired.

The listed price is minus sales tax. I originally came accross this company via Costco. Sales rep arrived on time and reviewed our options. This was a Graber product and made in USA, which we liked very much. Took about six weeks for the product to arrive. The installer arrived on time on the arranged day and did an excellent job of installation. The mounting screws were caulked as was the line between frame and wall. Since we do not have a wood framed window, an inside mount was impossible. The representative says you must always do an outside mount for dry-wall-finished window frames as they are never square. I will be painting the inside of my dry-wall-finished window frames white for a more finished look. They are beautiful and make my home look very upscale. We probably will not have any window treatements since the outside mount looks so finished already and don't want to cover them up. I will be calling this company back in the future to install shutters on remaining windows.
Description of Work: Measured and installed custom wood shutters on five windows and two side lights on front of house. Approximately 81 sq ft.

The purchase and installation (4 years ago) went very well. In October, 2013, I started having intermittent problems with the motorized vertical blinds opening/closing using the remote. I called The Blind Man and the owner came out to look at the problem. He said that the manufacturer of the blinds is out of business, but he would stand behind the product and see what they could do. He thought the problem was with the remote and said he would research to try to find a new one. Two weeks later I had not heard anything back, and my blinds would not open. I called and left a message the morning of 11/7 and was told the owner was in a meeting. I called again at the end of the day and was told he would call me between 5:30 and 6:00. I never received a call that evening. I called the next day and left a voice-mail message. I did not hear back from him, but the blinds started working again. In the meantime, I started researching a new remote on my own. I contacted the company whose name was on the remote and this company put me in touch with a local company who sold the remote. I contacted that local company, and purchased a new remote for $170.00. On 12/4, I left another message with The Blind Man because the blinds stopped working again. I did get a call back, and the owner said that he couldn't find anything on the company that made the remote. I told him that I was able to find the company and I purchased a nrew remote for $170.00. (Since I was able to find this company on my own, I have to think The Blind Man didn't try very hard trying to find the company.) I asked him about his 'lifetime warranty', and he said there was nothing he could do since the manufacturer is out of business...so much for the lifetime warranty. When I pressed him for 'what he could do' and I gave him the information I had already found regarding the company who made the remote, he said that he would contact that company to see about getting a new motor. That was on 12/5/2013. I am writing this on 4/15/2014, and I have not heard anything back from The Blind Man...over 4 months. Obviously, I will not be hearing from them on this.

The customer was informed that there is a three year warranty on the motors and they would be covered under warranty only if it was a manufacture defect. If the motors we corrupted, there would have been issues at installation or shortly after. We contacted the manufacture of the motor to try and assist this customer. We called him back to give him the information and he said that he would handle it from here. We were surprised to get the review because we were under the impression that this was taken care of and that the customer was satisfied. We always stand behind our warranty.

I thought they were pretty competitive. We had asked around with a couple of different vendors and found The Blind Man was less expensive than the other places. One of the other reasons we decided to use them is the place we are moving into is a very large community and this particular lady has done shutters and blinds for a lot of people in the community. We had the opportunity to deal with a unit for which she's done the work and to see her products.

A representative came out made measurements and provided us with an estimate. Once accepted the owner came out and made some additional measurements and provided us with some additional options. Despite the fact that quantities were questioned by me during the waiting period I was assured that the correct number of blinds were ordered. When the installer arrived to install the blinds they were one double window short. This was truly frustrating since the original estimator and the owner had come out and counted windows in addition to my questioning the counts in the first place. The shutters took longer to manufacture so they were installed weeks later. The shutters were not neatly installed and could definitely not be called a professional installation. Overall regret using this provider and will not do so in the future.
Description of Work: We ordered blinds for all the windows in the house, shutters for kitchen and breakfast area and room darkending shades for playroom.

I could have saved $600 if I'd purchased the exact same product from Blinds for Less. I also found out that the shutters were not installed the way they should have been installed, per the manufacturer. On my front door they did not put the right kind of magnet latch on it, so when my door is opened and closed the magnet is not strong enough to securely hold the shutters in place. I called them and requested a stronger (manufacturer recommended) magnet be installed. They said they would order one and schedule to fix. I11/4/2010 - It's been over a year and I haven't heard from them regarding fixing the magnet situation on the door.
