We needed interior shutters to fit different kinds of windows in an old house. The task required creative solutions to solve problems with old windows and fit the shutters on casement windows without interfering with the mechanisms. The Blinds Etc personnel were knowledgeable and skilled, they had confidence they could do the job, and the shutters fit perfectly. The product is excellent and the service was impeccable. We liked the shutters so much, we had them come back and install shutters in two additional rooms. Highly recommended.

We recently got new windows for our home, we needed new window treatments and ended up buying shutters for the front of our house and new blinds for several rooms. We LOVE our new shutters, they are beautiful and the quality is great too. The blinds are also very pretty. Scott was very easy to work with and had good advice. I would definitely recommend Blinds, Etc. Thank you Scott!

We could not have had a better company take care of our needs. We actually had them come back and add 2 more windows and the other 11. Look great and the price was very reasonable. Quick turnaround after measure and order too.

I was so glad to find this company. Response was prompt, friendly, professional, and helpful. The entire transaction from beginning to end went smoothly, without a hitch. Scott helped us select new shades that matched the others we had, and Mike installed them. Everything was done promptly, professionally, and well. And the price was right! I highly recommend this company!

I cannot say enough good things about The Lougheed brothers! Scott provided the initial estimate. Through the whole process he was informative and a master communicator. We had some existing window blinds and wanted to match these with blinds on additional windows. Scott knows his product line and selected a fabulous match at a great price. He told me how long the order would take and, no surprises, blinds came in, installation by his brother was scheduled, and we have a houseful of great looking, functional window blinds. I was dithering about what to use in the bedroom: my husband wants all light blocked at night, but I don't like the look honeycomb shades. Scott advised us and he was absolutely on target. What a pleasure to work with professionals!

It was wonderful. The owner, Scott, did the proposal. His brother, Mike, came out and put them all up in one day! He was a true gentleman. He forgot to put up one of the valences in our living room and called himself to come put it up the next day.

Beautiful blinds at a great price. We needed blinds for every window in our newly constructed house. Scott came out and measured all windows. He brought samples and color choices. His brother Mike came a few weeks later to install the blinds. Everything went flawlessly and the blinds look great. Scott and Mike were wonderful to work with and truly some of the nicest people you will ever meet.

Initially I had planned to buy and install skylight shades myself, but the step ladder that I have wasn't quite tall enough for a safe installation (the mounting position for these shades is around 14 feet off the floor).  I had contacted 5 or so companies regarding skylight shades and the selection process stretched over a month or more.  Blinds, etc. was one of 3 that I invited to come to my home and one of 2 that actually got up on a ladder and precisely measured each of the 5 skylight openings.  A few days after taking the measurement, I received their quote.  I was a bit dismayed because it was somewhat higher than the quote I had received from another company for the exact same shades (including installation).  However, rather than blindly going on price, I decided to go with Blinds, etc. for other reasons.  Over the course of several emails and a phone call or two and, of course, their visit to my home to measure, I developed a high level of confidence in their knowledge and ability to do a good job for me (I didn't have this feeling about the other company).  So I spent a little more and went with Blinds, etc.  It took several weeks for the blinds to arrive and then we set up a time for Scott and Mike to come out and install them.  They were here about 3 hours for the installation and conducted themselves in a professional manner, including explaining some of what they were doing and answering some questions.  The only hitch (if you can call it that) was that during installation of the first shade, there was a small plastic piece that broke off of the shade frame.  It still works but Scott promised to order a new part and come back out and install it.  He also advised that, had I installed my own shades and something broke, it would not have been covered under warranty.  So, bottom line, I am very happy with Blinds, etc.  They were responsive, knowledgeable, handy, and professional and did a great job with my skylight shades.  I'd use them again.

We could not be more pleased with the overall service provided by Scott and the Blinds Etc. team.  Through the whole process, they were friendly, cooperative, and very efficient in completing the work. They provided high value for a reasonable price.  We would definitely recommend them to others.

I selected blinds etc based on other Angie reviews and I could not be more pleased. From start to finish they were attentive, knowledgable and reliable. My call was returned immediately and a visit was made to my house with samples of what I found to be a perfect fit for some honeycomb shades that would help block heat in my sunroom. I was really leery of covering up my view but the blinds not only let light in but are very attractive and blend seamlessly, yet add a little character at the same time. (They were not the cheapest option but I inherited enough cheap string pull blinds with the home to know I wasn't going that route again. ). Installation was exactly when promised and was done quickly and perfectly. It feels strange to leave such a glowing review because I'm a tough customer but they really deserve it.

The blinds fit great and are the color we ordered.  Scott and Mike made it easy - they came to the house with samples and provided recommendations.  Even when one of the blinds came in the wrong size, they ordered the correct blind that day and worked around my schedule to install the replacement.  They were personable and wanted to make sure they had completed the job to our satisfaction - their recovery when the one blind was wrong was exactly what you would expect.  We did not have to make payment until it was complete.  We thought they were easy to work with, the blinds are good quality and work great - we had one corded blind and the others are cordless.  We would definitely call Scott and Mike again.
Response from Blinds ETC

"Thank you so much for your kind comments. We strive to provide; & are proud of our "high quality" service to all customers. You will like working with us when ordering custom window coverings, AND you will LOVE working with us if there is a manufacturing "Snafu" with something you ordered. Thank you Again! Scott, Mike, & Jackie"

We wanted to replace the vertical blinds over our french door to the patio with smaller blinds over the window only.  Scott from Blinds Etc.  came out on schedule, helped us pick out the type and color we wanted.  We ended up selecting the 1 he recommended.   The price was fine.  No 'give away'  but definitely competitive with others AND with online vendors.  He estaimeted 3-4 week delivery....but only took 2 weeks to get them.  His brother came out on schedule and did a nice job installing them on our wood patio doors.    We're very pleased and will use them again as well as recommend them to family and friends.

From the first phone contact through the completed in-home service, these folks were professional, friendly, responsive, reasonable and prompt. Highly recommended.
Response from Blinds ETC

"[member name removed], Thank you for your response! It is a sad day, when no company wants to help a customer that hasn't purchased a product from them. Also, has no intention of purchasing a new product, but needs their current product fixed. This is where we "OUT SHINE" all of our competition. Thank you! Scott, Mike, & Jackie"

The co. - Blinds Etc. was our third and best estimate for hunter-douglas double-cell pleated shades for our newer home.  The owner came out, measured every single window, explained differences in shades, went over color schemes with us, and took his time and was very thorough.
He explained they would take 2-3 weeks to fill the order from the factory, and another week to install.  In total about 3 weeks from start to finish.  He upgraded us in our shades to ones that do not have any cords - as we have little grandchildren running around our home - so his upgrade was available from hunter-douglas for NO extra charge. 
We're extremely pleased with the product, the company, their professionalism... I'd definitely recommend them to friends and family - their work is great.
Response from Blinds ETC

"(member name removed), Thank you for the kind words. We pride ourselves in delivering the highest quality products at the most competitive prices possible. You,(both) were a pleasure to deal with, and we hope that the products we provided, will save you (on heating & cooling cost), for years."

We got plantation shutters installed in our 112 year old house.  I was worried that when they did the install they would run into issues as the house has shifted throughout the years, but they measured everything perfectly and there were no issues at all. They even shaved some of the shutters so that they would fit our window frames.  The shutters are beautiful and add a lot of value to the house.  I would definitely use Blinds etc. again.

We had some problems with the blinds in the master bedroom as they were the wrong color and there was a problem with the middle two windows as the blinds were catching on the latches. We also didn't like the placement of the pulls. Blinds etc. offered to replace the blinds in the master bedroom and replace the pulls so that they pull from the bottom of the blinds. Due to delays by the supplier, Blinds etc. couldn't replace the blinds for nearly 3 months, but all is well, and we are very pleased.  Both Scott and Mike (the installer) were helpful, and we appreciate their willingness to make us satisfied customers.
Response from Blinds ETC

"(Member name removed) Thank you for your input! This is a first for me, as I have never received less than an A on any report. I tried accomodate in any way I could, including reordering a different color for the Master (at my expense $1,285.00) as you did not like the color you selected. The Manufacturer took over 2 months getting a replacement (if I could have made it, I would have) but the fabric was on back order.I am disappointed in a B rating, Is there anything else I can do?"
