"John was WONDERFUL to work with, especially since this was done online and over the phone as I was in Florida having plantation shutters installed in Wi. His price was lower than other estimates, his work was extraordinary, he was personable, professional, and super efficient. He helped me through the process and made valuable suggestions. Can't say enough good things about him and Better Blinds. My shutters are beautiful, getting lots of compliments. Thanks John."

Hi, my name is Jon. I am retired paramedic. Now doing handyman work. From changing a lightbulb ceiling fan to putting together furniture I have done a little bit of everything.. I do flooring as well. I can tear out carpeting and tile and replace it with laminate. I’m very fair priced.
"Started with Rachel on the phone who was kind and specific. She quoted a firm price over the phone and set up the appointment. The technician, Ed, was friendly and helpful. He arrived right on time, told me how long it would take and proceeded to vacuum up the hundreds of shards of glass, somehow getting every one of them. The replacement window was installed for exactly the price quoted. They came to my house and all I had to do was pay and say thank you. I highly recommend The Glass Doctor. They were great and their price was considerably less than other providers including those who did not offer home service. The window fits perfectly and operates smoothly."
"we had a great experience with all star quality painting and will hire them again the crew was polite and respectful the attention to detail was perfect "
"I did not go with this company, they refunded my money because I didn't like their design. I've reviewed this before. Please can you stop these requests to do a review. "
