It was installed late in 2015. He has been back at least once if not twice each year to "fix" it to the tune of $75 or more for each "service"call. He was out in April of this year and took the thing out to work on it. Brought it back. Doesn't work again. I want my money back!!! Have filed a complaint with BBB. I asked the owner "tim" if he stands behind his products? Obviously not. Wanted me to call manufacturer. Run away from this character run don't walk

Tim Uhl and his son came out and met with me. As soon as I told him what I was looking for, TIm knew exactly what I needed. He suggested Hunter Douglas cordless shades, took the measurements, and was gone within an hour. About 4 weeks later, they installed them, and I love them! They are beautiful. The color matches the pine wood almost exactly. They fit and work great, and are very inconspicuous when all the way up, which is exactly what I wanted. I couldn't have asked for better service.

Tim was wonderful to work with. I was looking for a Hunter Douglas dealer and was happy to see that Shades of Distinction was also on Angie's List. Tim was able to show me a variety of products to meet my needs,  and made appropriate recommendations. In some cases, a less expensive product would meet my needs; in others, upgrading made more sense to enhance the view to the outside.  Tim worked with my schedule and the blinds were installed in a little over two weeks. Excellent service and quality. I would use Shades of Distinction again without hesitation!
