Hands down Seth with Apex is the go to if you're looking for great customer service, professionalism, and vast selection in Seattle. I live in a high rise condo with post tension cable (I still don't fully understand what this means other than it holds the building together and if someone damages it, it can compromise the entire integrity of the building structure - Serious stuff!) in Seattle with very strict rules regarding who can drill into the ceiling. After speaking to 3 different companies in the area about upgrading the wire blinds in my condo, I was about to give up. One company was very short with me and didn't follow up; the other two didn't want to go anywhere near the post tension cable. When I reached out to Seth, I tried to set the proper expectations regarding the challenges I've had. He was very optimistic, said he was up for the challenge and came out the next day to assess the situation. He answered all my questions, addressed all my concerns and even provided some design/style tips. I decided to go with the top down/bottom up motorized Hunter Douglas honey comb shades. Seth also chased down my HOA board to get all the appropriate approvals needed to install the blinds in our condo. The very next day I had a reasonable quote and swatches of samples started showing up a few days later. The installation went very well too. The certified Hunter Douglas installation team was able to get the job done in about 3 hours and took the time to show me how to operate them. Seth was of course on site to help make sure everything went smoothly. I could not be happier with my new blinds, and so glad I took his advice and went with the motorized blinds instead of manual - best money ever spent! read more

I had the chance to talk with Seth (owner of Apex Window Fashions) today and unfortunately he currently semi-retired at this time and is not doing the usual consultations for window treatment orders in the same capacity as he has done for 30+ years. He did however articulate that he would still want to operate in a consultative capacity in some shape or form in the future. Seth's record of being communicative, professional, patience and being an all around good guy is true and came across that way. I wish him well in his future endeavors in whatever capacity he feels he would like to operate in as people like him are a value add to our community and society. read more

Friendly, honest, hard working. It's sometimes hard to find someone willing to do a smallish job, but Seth saved our bacon. Highly recommended. read more

Excellent service!! I've worked with other local blind companies and they don't measure up.

Seth provided fantastic customer service and installation. He was very helpful and patient in helping us choose the perfect blinds for our Wallingford home. We never felt pressured to choose a certain type of blind and his wealth of knowledge was instrumental in helping us make the right choice. When we experienced issues with our Hunter Douglas automated blinds nearly two years after installation, he helped us deal with the company and make sure that they repaired them properly. He has gone above and beyond to make sure that we are satisfied with our purchase. We would definitely use his services again and I can't recommend him enough! read more

We have both been very happy with Seth's work. We hired him to install new shades for our windows. We chose Seth because he had such high reviews and because he was local. He did not disappoint. Initially we though we knew what we wanted, but it quickly became clear after talking to Seth that we were heading down the wrong path. He talked to us to understand what our needs really were and then guided us to a much better solution. Seth first came to visit us for a consultation. In this case we had originally been thinking of getting vertical blinds and we were set on that. Seth talked to us to understand our drivers, which were to support portable ACs. Then as we talked through it we realized what would really service all our needs were having 3 honeycomb shades per window (our windows are quite long). During the visit, he brought several samples books with him so we could see all the different styles of shades. Seth was very patient and answered all our questions. We both found him to be extremely knowledgable so we decided to proceed settling on Hunter Douglas room-darkening honeycomb roman shades (6 total). The installation went without a hitch. Seth was very communicative to setup the date for installation once the blinds had arrived. He was in and out of our place within a few hours, and the work was done. He was always professional throughout. Over the next few weeks, Seth followed up a few times to see that we were happy with the work something that was unexpected but welcome. I highly recommend Seth / Apex Windows Fashions. He is very reliable, professional, extremely knowledgable, has 27 years of experience and just does great work! A+ from me! read more

Seth the owner of Apex Blinds is Awesome! He made our new house a home with his consultation on the best window coverings for our space. Seth presented all options and honored our budgetary goals while maximizing quality! My wife and I enjoyed our experience from beginning to end. Finally, did I mention he's Hilarious! We laughed throughout the entire process. Seth is a genuine, small business owner that you will not regret supporting. read more

Seth from Apex is awesome! He immediately got back to me and I explained that we are getting our windows replaced and needed to remove my blinds. He was like do you want me to show right now? We Facetimed, he took a look at the setup and he showed me how to remove the blinds. Saved me time and money, thank you Seth! read more

Seth @ Apex Window Fashions is great! Recently we had a blind that needed replaced, Seth @ Apex had very competitive pricing, was responsive and helpful matching colors to the existing blind. Honest, trustworthy and easy to work with. read more

I recently had several high end motorized Hunter Douglas blinds installed at my house. Seth the owner of Apex, a wonderful man, friendly and very knowledgeable came and made the measurements and helped me find the right design. His work and timing were excellent and the price was fair. Seth has a mobile service and not a fancy showroom, hence the discounted price. If you know what you're looking for just call Seth and ask him to give you a quote. You'd be pleasantly surprised with the results. read more

This review is for my wife, she does not have an account but wanted to leave a review for Apex. Seth was extremely responsive to my initial request for a quote. He was professional, yet personable, when he stopped by to take measurements. He also offered design suggestions/alternatives when I mentioned blackout blinds for our nursery room. In the end, I purchased Hunter Douglas blinds from another vendor as I was looking for cheapest option. Once I'd purchased from someone else, Apex made a final quote adjustment for me and by a hair they would have been the least expensive quote I'd received. Unfortunately, I'd already purchased from someone else. I do not doubt that the installation and customer service from Apex to the end of the project would have been outstanding. If you're debating who to choose for window coverings, I'd say you can't go wrong with Seth and Apex. read more

I'm so happy to have found Seth and Apex. Seth has been extremely responsive throughout the process. He offered a flexible schedule to come out and asses my needs. He's clearly experienced and quickly understood what I was going for. He was quite respectful as he made suggestions to help me narrow down the many choices and make optimal selections. He has a great eye for color and is generous with his knowledge and expertise. He set up realistic expectations for the install timeline. Seth is kind with warm energy and an upbeat sense of humor. The installer, Dustin, was equally professional. I purchased cordless lift top down/bottom up room darkening Duette Architella- 3/4" shades for 3 windows and a skylight (crank operated stack). read more

We shopped around for Hunter Douglas (HD) blinds and found Seth was able to answer all of our questions about price, timing and installation... honestly and more thoroughly than any other window coverings vendor. Seth knows this business well, and is the "Yoda" of window coverings. He scheduled a consultation quickly (1 day!) and arrived on time as scheduled (in Seattle). The blinds arrived on time and were quickly installed in 3 rooms. The installers are possibly the most experienced with Hunter Douglas. The installers were previously the "factory reps and installers" for HD, with many years of experience. I highly recommend Apex as a company, Seth as the owner/sales person, and the installation team. With Apex, you will have an honest team, stress free installation and a no hassle experience. Remember, with window coverings you get what you pay for. read more

I am really happy with my blinds. Seth was amazing with response time, estimates, recommendations, and the little measurements. He even offered suggestions for types of vinyl for windows where blinds did not make sense. I really appreciated his recommendations and like the results. Highly recommend Apex! read more

Seth is knowledgeable, helpful, able to recommend many available options, and incredibly accommodating. We're very happy with our blackout shades, which work great even though the window frames that were already in place are a bit wider at the bottom than at the top. read more

Seth and his partner did wonderful job. They are so professional and all blinds are perfectly fit our windows. I will recommend him to friends next time for sure. read more

Seth was fantastic to work with! He was very patient in explaining the different options and their impact on privacy, insulation, cost. He is very knowledgeable about his craft and is ready to share useful tips! He was very prompt with responses and gave realistic schedules. It was a pleasure working and chatting in between with him! So much so, we even got a second mini install session with him, that he gladly fit into his schedule. Thanks for the good work Seth! read more

I have really been impressed by the professionalism and kindness of Seth. Seth was very responsive and I picked him among others because he had great reviews on a specialized websites and was also accurate and fast at providing estimates on the price.

On a personal note, I am very happy to have met someone kind and interesting like Seth. read more

We bought our first home in Port Orchard, WA and we needed new blinds. I was searching through Yelp (filtering on 5 stars and excellent reviews) that's how I found Apex Window Fashions. They have 30+ years of experience and serves most places in WA. I didn't find my area on their list, so I decided to inquire if I could get a quote even though I'm out of their service area. Seth the owner, promptly answers my questions and he states that can go out of his way to give a free in-home quote. He came and gave us different kinds of blinds information, brands and options. He was so knowledgeable, gave us suggestions, and he took into account our preferences and budget. The blinds order came fast and the installation was done professionally by Seth himself. We got Norman brand room darkening honeycomb blinds, light filtering honeycomb blinds, and a shutter. They are beautiful and they help reduce our heating and cooling bill and compliments the house wonderfully. The whole experience was a joy. Seth is a funny guy and easy to work with, so never a dull moment. We have already recommended Seth to some friends and even our realtor, if they ever need new window coverings. Thanks Seth!We highly recommend Apex Window Fashions to anyone who needs! read more

Seth came out and helped me select 9 new Hunter Douglas blinds to replace some older blinds and add new ones to windows we had added with a recent addition to our house this past Summer. I've been meaning to leave him and his company a review and am just getting around to it because I remembered when I was looking on Yelp for something else. He's super responsive to questions and easy to work with. There was some confusion with the price so be sure to help him by double checking his calculations....they will be lower than anywhere else you can get a bid....really. His first calculation seemed kind of high to me and didn't quite add up so I looked over his numbers and asked him to recalculate. He's not trying to cheat you....he just sometimes punches things into whatever program he uses incorrectly but he is happy to fix it. And it's all there for you to calculate yourself or you can ask him and he will send it to you. The install went smoothly. He's really honest and clear about any delays. One of our blinds was the wrong material and he ordered the correct one and replaced it without any argument. Seth clearly loves what he does and I would definitely order from Apex Window Fashions the next time I'm needing new window dressings. read more

On our first consultation meeting friendly Seth was most helpful in helping me make my selection for window coverings. In a subsequent meeting I had changed my find about the blinds and Seth was, again, great in assisting me. The blinds turned out great, looks much better than original blinds. Good job, Seth! read more

We had Hunter Douglas solar blocking blinds installed on three large picture windows in our entry way. The blinds look great, block much of the afternoon heat, and we love the remote controls. This was our third time using Seth and Apex Window Fashions. Each time the estimates were easy to understand and never any ups or extra charges. Installed to perfection in a timely manner. What more could you ask? read more

There is simply no better company in this industry than Apex Window Fashions. They excel at both commercial and residential projects and offer a level of service, care, and commitment that is extremely rare nowadays. Their comprehensive knowledge of all the various products lines, innate fashion sense, and logistical expertise virtually guarantee the perfect result. On top of all this, it has been my experience that their prices are as competitive as they come. Based on my experience, there is simply no reason to use anyone other than Apex Window Fashions for any related work. Doing so, you are virtually guaranteed the best possible result, at a great price, with the absolute minimum of stress and inconvenience. If it were possible to write a five star review, I would do so. read more

When you buy something as expensive as shades, you want to make sure you're choosing the right vendor and product. We talked to A LOT of vendors over many, many, many months (eight?) and were not entirely sold on any of them. They fell into one or more of these categories: - not really knowledgeable - too expensive (compared to the average) - seemed to be only after money (subtle if not overt pressure) - something just being off about them - not communicative (wouldn't answer questions in a reasonable time-frame) It was a tiresome process and we didn't know if we'd ever find the right vendor to get new shades. One day, my wife happened upon Seth's contact information through some third-party. We weren't expecting much, since we met with so many vendors already, however Seth definitely impressed. He's genuinely nice and likable. He also isn't pushy. He gives you his opinion but you are the ultimate decider. He obviously knows his stuff. We'll definitely order from Seth for the next set of shades. read more

Seth was a pleasure to work with. He was very thorough and gave great advice on what coverings will be best for my windows. He understood my budget and worked within it. There was a sizing issue with some of the coverings. Seth quickly ordered replacement ones and I am now a happy customer. I highly recommend Apex Window Fashions. You know that you will get a fair price and amazing customer service. Seth definitely has a passion for window coverings! read more

Seth was super kind and helpful. We ordered a large cellular blind for our living room window and he gave us a reasonable quote and was prompt in his communication regarding our order. He came out to install it today and it looks amazing! I couldn't have ask for better service and quality. Highly recommend Seth and Apex! read more

I am so glad I chose to use Seth's company Apex to help me select and then install all of my window coverings. Seth was so extremely patient- he always took my calls and answered all of my many questions during his consultations never asking or pressuring me to commit. In fact it took me 6 months to make up my mind on final decisions, and Seth was so helpful. His many years of personal experience installing and selling all kinds of coverings led to make sure my choices worked out better than I had even expected. We had 39 windows to cover including automated top down bottom up Hunter Douglass shades on a 2-story wall of windows, some French doors, and a lot of other windows of all shapes and sizes. Once we put in the large order Seth continued to keep us appraised of the delivery dates and had his expert certified crew respectfully install all 39 coverings to my satisfaction. One of the shades seemed a little crooked the way it had been put together at the factory. No worry, Seth immediately ordered a replacement and had the crew return to install it when it arrived. In addition, I chose to get the web hub so I can control the shades from an app on the phone and schedule them to go up and down at certain times of day or night. And in some of the arched windows his installers also installed "shelves" which were wooden crossbeams to hang the shades from which looked like they were part of the original house. I literally can't thank Seth enough for his constant follow up, his vast expertise and creativity, his connections to great installers and to the factory, and his patience. I needed a lot of hand holding and creativity to get the results we achieved, and Seth was the perfect guy to do this right. He will always follow up and ensure you are happy with the results. I wish there were more companies like Apex. You can really trust him. read more

When your wallet is squealing and you have to decide between that long deferred Botswana safari and new blinds *and* your significant other says "must-have-blinds-or-die" you want to work with someone who is not only professional, knowledgeable and competitive, but is someone who will help ease the pain of your lost safari. Seth is, without question, that man - highly recommended! read more

We had two broken blinds and Seth could have easily taken advantage and quoted for new ones for the entire floor. Instead, he put in the time and effort to fix the existing ones at a fraction of what it would have cost. He is a very honest and knowledgeable person, and I am comfortable in recommending his services to anyone who needs help with blinds, drapes. etc. read more

Seth is a warm and funny person, but he takes his work very seriously . . . like another reviewer said, personable and professional. And by "seriously" I mean knowing exactly how to measure for a perfect fit; taking the time to find the right product (it really helps to have someone in your house who can see what's most pleasing), the right color (always the most difficult decision) . . . and he delivered and installed it all for the right price. I recommend Apex highly, and the beauty of my new shades are beyond expectation, a significant beautifier of my living room. read more

In the era of Internet, reputation is everything. Seth had great reviews on the Internet, Angie list, yelp, thumbtack, homeadvisors etc. That is why I went with him. Excellent choice. $45 fixing my shade with a pleasant experience. read more

With all the options available for window coverings, it can be overwhelming. Seth made our lives easier by asking just a few questions and narrowing down what we really wanted.

We will definitely be using him again for the rest of our home. read more
