I would definitely work with Budget Blinds of Berkeley and Richmond again! I had a small job, just…read more2 blinds for my living room, 3 blinds for a bedroom, and 1 small blind for kitchen window. Budget Blinds of Berkeley and Richmond was fast, easy and pleasant to work with, and the product is very good. On Saturday, I submit an request for an appointment and a staff person texted me back right away to acknowledge the request, even though it was Saturday. So, they really pay attention! A gentleman named Mass came to my home to measure and show products; he arrived on time and had answers to all my questions, and brought a large, well-organized showbook of many samples that I could touch and compare. Mass does not do a "hard sell." He is understanding and easy going. My shades took 2 -3 weeks to arrive, which is typical of custom-made shades. It was easy to schedule installation soon after their arrival. The same person, Mass, does both the measuring and installation. He did a great job installing the blinds quickly. The manufacturer made an error on the small kitchen blind, which was replaced and installed literally within 5 business days. Custom blinds, with professional measurements and professional installation, are not cheap. But if you want it done right and done quickly, and pleasantly, Budget Blinds of Berkeley and Richmond is the way to go! Very happy with product and service!

The only reason the job didn't get 5 stars is that when we were told we would be charged shipping in addition, we couldn't have guessed that when we received the formal estimate, we would find curtains costing a little less than $1000 required a delivery fee of over $100. When I said I would pick it up rather than having it shipped, I was told the work is done elsewhere and shipping costs have gone up. Clearly the work is being done in faraway places to save on local labor costs. My question is whether the customer should be paying that surcharge or whether a company that saves on labor by shipping it elsewhere should swallow the shipping cost rather than passing it on to the consumer?

Aleksandra was great. It was easy to set up an appointment with her, was punctual, she was very knowledgeable about providing options for us, very professional, and gave us a very competitive quote. Tony removed the drapes in our family room and came back later to install the new/relined drapes. He obviously has a lot of experience with this, worked very quickly, and was also very professional.

We have large, old Bay windows with some considerations, and Anna listened carefully to our needs and then gave us the best options to choose from. She was friendly, professional, and patient through the process, and never pushy or salesy. Anna brought in swatch samples for us to consider based on our stated preferences, and it really helped to have the swatches at home when making color and fabric decisions. She was extremely knowledgeable and helpful with the design process. The installation person was wonderful as well, and we ended up with something beautiful and functional. It's been 6 months, and the roller blinds have changed the room to be more functional and cooler for us, as bright sunlight hits the room in the afternoon. I recently called Anna again for another project and quickly realized that I did not need custom window coverings for this project. Anna went the extra mile of telling me how I could accomplish my goals, and once again, greatly helped our family with her honest, experienced recommendations. I looked at several companies and found Stoneside to have the best prices as well as 5-star customer service. I will use them again, and I'm recommending them to my neighbors and friends who have commented on our roller shades.
