Paul Conti was very thorough and responsive. As he visited our house to show us products and measure, he made several excellent recommendations. He came today (despite very bad weather) to install them. We love our new shades. Everything was very professionally installed, and he removed all the packaging neatly. We highly recommend Paul Conti and ABC Shades and Blinds. Good value for the money. We have the right shades on a large sliding door, windows which needed privacy with top down /bottom up option, and light filtering. We started out thinking we wanted electric but as we reviewed our needs with Paul, ended up deciding against it. Also it was only about a 3 week turnaround from when Paul came to the house to measure, to installation. Great job read more

Unlike some other firms who did not return my calls or follow up on scheduling a visit, this person was responsive and got the job done efficiently and without my having to play phone tag. I would go back to him for future work. read more

We are in love with our new motorized shades and wood blinds purchased and installed by ABC Shades. Paul is very professional and quite knowledgeable regarding what to choose. Installation was organized and quick. I highly recommend them. read more

Paul was great! Excellent communication, and fairly priced (shopped around and compared to several others). Very meticulous with everything! Went way above and beyond to help with installing the blinds and setting everything up. Would 100% recommend to anyone. read more

See all

Paul offers a great service at a good price and very responsive. I'd highly recommend.

I decided that instead of looking at ugly, broken blinds I inherited with my condo, that I should invest in something I want to look at. I got a few quotes from vendors I had reached out to on Yelp (thank goodness for Yelp) after first trying a personal referral from a friend that went poorly. I had two vendors come over and I like the brand of product that Paul brought for cellular shades, Comfortex. They had all sorts of beautiful colors and textures for the fabric cellular shades I had, and it was hard to choose! Another vendor I had come to my house did not have this brand, but had a brand that did not offer a fabric black-out cellular shade. I am really glad I had ABC Shades come over first so that I could see what was out there first. The shades have been installed and they are beautiful. Everything from start to finish was smooth and everything about the process was seamless. Having these new shades have really perked up the appearance of the 3 rooms I had them installed in. I knew they were not going to be cheap, but the fact is that these are custom-built for my windows, and I was able to select a lovely fabric. I also selected a higher end fabric so that I could get exactly what I want because I actually keep my shades closed almost 100% of the time, so I want to make sure I like looking at them. Thanks Paul! read more

Paul was very professional and did a fabulous job! He showed us lots of samples and helped us make a good choice for our home. He's personable and explained everything we needed to know. I highly recommend ABC Shades & Blinds!! read more

I highly recommend Paul/ABC Shades. Paul installed shades for my entire home. It was a pleasant, seamless experience from beginning to end. Paul responds quickly. My shades were ordered before other companies responded to my inquiry. Paul communicated well through the process and did a fabulous job with installation. My shades are beautiful. If you want a true professional, no nonsense experience, look no further! read more

Paul is the best, he is friendly, honest, professional and knowledgeable. He had tons of choices for us and our install went incredibly smooth. Will be using ABC again for all our window needs. He was also very conscientious regarding Covid safety protocols. read more

Awesome experience working with Paul and ABC Window and Shades. He was professional, prompt, and delivered our window treatments as promised. We are very happy with the product and couldn't recommend Paul and his company more highly. read more

I left a message after 7pm on the voicemail of ABC Shades and Blinds, without really knowing much about them; however I liked that it was a family owned business that has been around for many years. I received a call back from Paul Conti promptly the very next morning. I was somewhat difficult to reach, so he texted me which I appreciated, and we quickly set up an appointment for what either the next day or the following ( can't recall). He arrived with a huge number of samples- it was difficult to select just one, but I ordered a textured cellular fabric blind. I could see that Paul knows the business well and could answer all of my questions. I knew I could trust him to guide me through the vast selection and pick something that would work for the entire condo- we have 7 windows plus a very tall slider. The information and suggestions he offered proved to be quite helpful. He measured everything and once the fabric was selected, the wait was just two weeks. He installed them seamlessly, which was impressive because each window and wall in our condo walls and windows are just a tad off on one side, and is shorter or longer than the other. I also have a keen eye for details and can be quite fussy when it relates to interior or exterior design and decor. Somehow, he had tailored and installed them to fit just so...This was an especially important feat to pull off with the slider blinds, with deferring heights/ or widths, however he is a detail-oriented person thankfully with an excellent eye! He more than came through! I am thrilled with our new blinds, and have had no problems with anything since they were installed. It was a genuine pleasure working with him, he is also a friendly and caring person, and I was comfortable right off the bat with him. I highly recommend ABC Shades and Blinds and Paul Conti. He is far and away better than any other shades & blinds companies anywhere in NH ( we live in the Exeter area). Beautiful job Paul, and well done! :-) Jenny Exeter NH 7/2021 read more

Simply put- Paul delivers. The quote was fair, every detail explained, installation was included and the blinds are spectacular. Paul is the local business you want to rely on! read more

I would highly recommend ABC Shades and Blinds. Paul was very professional and communicated with us during throughout the process with the potential of the blinds being back ordered. read more

Paul installed blinds in two rooms of our house last month. This was one of the best experiences I've had with a contractor--incredibly professional, gave us an accurate report of the timeline we could expect for the materials to arrive, and the blinds look (and fit) great! He also didn't mind the four curious cats! Highly recommend. read more

We contacted ABC Shades & Blinds to replace our very old and outdated mini blinds with beautiful privacy shades. Paul did a fantastic job! He was fast, responsive, and incredibly detailed. After we met with him and picked our our shades, Paul placed the order right away and received them within 2 weeks. The install was quick and he left our home perfectly clean. He was so detail oriented that it reaffirmed why we hired him instead of measuring, purchasing, and installing shades ourselves. We will continue to use his services for the rest of our window shades and highly recommend him to anyone! read more

The guys at ABC Window Shade Company are the best. My wife and I recently purchased a condo in Somerville and we went to ABC to get blinds installed. The employees (all family members - this is a real family-owned business) were incredibly friendly and helpful. They were able to come to our condo the next day to measure all our windows and help us choose the appropriate product. The blinds arrived on schedule (3 weeks later, as promised), and the guys were able to install them the next day. They look great! It was such a joy working with a friendly, family-owned company. They really cared about our satisfaction, and it feels great to support a local business. read more

This was the greatest experience. Unlike other stores which were going to make me go into their show room and be upsold, he came to my house to talk to about what I wanted, made very helpful recommendations and helped me pick the right thing. It was then installed incredibly fast and he could not have been more accommodating to my schedule. I'd recommend this place to everyone! read more

I highly recommend this outfit, my husband and I ordered blinds from them and they did a fantastic job we had 15 blinds put in ,Paul is awesome read more

I have to say that I am not one that usually writes reviews, in fact this may be a first for me. About one year ago my husband and I decided that we wanted to replace our window treatments in the living room and kitchen.We wanted good quality treatments that would last. Being a smart shopper I started investigating all of the options available. When we decided on the Comfortex Shangri- La treatments we contacted different companies for estimates. We could not be happier with the service we received from Paul at ABC Shades and Blinds. He answered every email, phone call and text message in a timely manner with detailed explanations to every question. He was prompt when he came out for measurements and when he came back again for installation. Paul is very knowledgeable and professional. I would definitely recommend ABC Shades and Blinds! read more

We were given Paul's name by friends who used them when they bought their condo. Paul was great about answering emails and coming for an estimate. We appreciated him being honest and going through all products without pushing us towards more expensive options and working within our budget. read more

I can't say enough good things about ABC Shades and Blinds. Paul responded to my call immediately. Came directly to my home with plenty of samples and more importantly suggestions and a ton of knowledge. We had new blinds replaced on 10 windows and the slider. They look AMAZING, the colors, the quality of the product. Paul is efficient and immaculate. A pleasure to have in your home while having work done. Everyone notices the new window treatments as soon as the walk in the door. I would highly recommend ABC Shades & Blinds read more

ABC Shades & Blinds are PHENOMENAL!!!! Fantastic work! I love love my blinds! They are a perfect fit. Paul is awesome - he offers recommendations that are right on target. Professional and honest! Highly recommend! read more

I live in Charlestown and used ABC in 2009 for some slider and large window vertical blinds, as well as a custom skylight cover. They came to the house for measuring and to show me samples, and of course for installation. They were extremely helpful and wonderful to work with all around. They are a family run business who have been around a long time - which I love supporting. I found the prices extremely reasonable, while not being "cheap". I had used a different operation to do blinds in a couple other rooms a year or two prior, and the prices were just outrageous compared. The ABC showroom is a bit dated, I will admit, but I would say don't let that deter you. Its also in a slightly sketchy area (though on a main street), but maybe that is why the prices are so much more reasonable than other places. I would whole heartedly recommend these guys. I'm about to call them to see if they can clean the blinds, which reminded me I should finally write this review! read more
