Low rating due to - sloppy work - not showing up or cancelling 90% of the appointments to the point I had to constantly chase him. Promised the job would be done in 2 weeks and it took almost a year, of me chasing him to finally come back. He never finished and said "my hearts not in it any more I'll just do one more thing and that's it" - never finished the job - rudeness I wasn't going to post because he said he didn't want to do this work anymore and was shutting down his business. Now that I see he is still working with people, I feel an obligation to warn people away from this business read more

Nick is not only incredible patient and accommodating, but has a similar music taste to mine and sang along to 60s-80s hits while installing my shades in what felt like no time at all. One of the nicest home improvement folks I've worked with in a while -- will definitely be back and would 100% recommend him over a large commercial blinds seller! read more

6+ years later and, I have returned to Blinds, Shades, Glass & more! Same building, different apartment, a lot of windows. Nick was super reactive over text, stopped by to take measurements and show me fabric samples within 48hrs. He had all 9 roller shades installed within a week or so. This time around m, I also went for blackout shades and it's been amazing! Price is fair for the service and quality you get, shades in my first apartment are still up and looking great to the new tenants! Landlord should thank me, haha! Thanks again Nick! read more

10/10 recommend! Nick was so kind and quick, he got my shades made and installed in two days!

We just had Nick installed shades for all 3 of our apartment windows. Nick came to give us a quote a week and a half ago, was punctual, very knowledgeable and what we liked was he provided advice and suggestions including what to consider in making our choices. Turn around time was excellent... 10 days from initial meeting, quote and agreement to full installation. Others we spoke to needed 3-4 weeks minimum. Installation on the day was fast and very good. The price was competitive too We are very happy with the shades and would definitely recommend Nick. read more

My experience with Nick has always been positive. He is responsive, reliable, and reasonable and has been extremely flexible in helping me find solutions to multiple challenges. Nick is a pleasure to work with and his blinds are great! read more

After having my shades for a few months, I can confirm that this is a great company and Nick is the best!!! I contacted Nick at the recommendation of my neighbor who has been very pleased with their shades. Nick replied and very quickly. I got a quote, which was very reasonably priced. Once I confirmed the order, he came and took the measurements and about a week later, he had all the materials and supplies to install them. Installation was very quick, under 30 minutes. He was super flexible and it was very convenient how he was able to fix into my busy work schedule. Nick was super helpful throughout the entire process. I had 2 rooms done and told him that the sun comes directly into my apartment and it gets too warm, and he made the best recommendations in regards to color, how much light is let in, and measurements. When the blinds are down, the sunlight still comes in (which I wanted), but the heat stays out. Perfect for summer! If you're looking for new shades or blinds or anything window related, Nick is you guy! 5/5 stars! read more

Excuses, excuses and more excuses. 6 and a half months ago I ordered a shower door from Nick. Today I have no shower door, and Nick has all of my money, and suddenly he has become difficult to reach. Bad faith? Buyer beware. read more

Nic was super responsive, friendly, and quick with the installation of the new shade. 10/10!

Returning customer here. I had my roller shades installed on all windows in my apartment a few months ago by this company. They did a great job and I decided to come back and get a curtain from them for my living room. I love my new curtain, it's such a great touch and it complements the roller shades. The combination opened up the space in my living room. read more

I reached out in regards to getting blinds installed for my new apartment and got a fast response. Within a weeks time, measurements were being taken and I got to choose the fabric I wanted. I did some manual and some motorized blinds. Nick was great and helpful and if I had any issues, he got back to me asap. I highly recommend this business! read more

Nick provides a personable, in-home shopping experience. H can to our home with samples, took measurements and came back within less than a week and installed. I highly recommend this business. read more

Nick and his team were great--super responsive, professional, and courteous. The motorized blinds are high quality, sourced directly from the manufacturer, and the installation was quick and seamless. Pricing was very competitive, and it feels good to support a local Astoria business. Highly recommend! read more

Don't hesitate to go with this local company - and support small businesses! The entire process with Nick was smooth and easy. He showed up with a case of samples and walked us through the options and process. Nick really knows what he's doing and he quickly helped narrow the choices for our Manhattan apartment. We chose dual roller shades - blackouts and sheers - for our living room and kitchen (pictured with two of the sheers down a bit), and a darker look for our bedroom. We opted for motorized shades and they are a dream. The installation was perfect and the shades are so beautiful and classic that we don't even need a valance. One shade stuck a little and Nick is coming out to fix. He's great. I feel we're in really good hands and we'll be recommending to friends, family, and colleagues. Don't hesitate to go with this local company. 5 STARS!! read more

Nick is dishonest and a thief. Came in to have a framed door panel made. Left him an expensive Pella screen, as a sample for what I might need in the near future. Weeks turned into months turned into over two years. He claims he moved stores to an out of the area location. Claims he lost or misplaced the screen. NEVER made me the panel I paid over $180 for and lied and strung me along the entire time. I went through cancer, chemo and have been two years cancer free since I last saw him. Cancer was better than dealing with this guy. Wolf in sheep's clothing. You've been warned. read more

Nick and his team did an amazing job once again! The shades he had installed in our apartment were as good as new when we left 5 years later. We asked him to install new shades (new measurements) for our new home, he and his crew did it in less than one week. We love our blackout shades and we love the service. Thank you! read more

** BEWARE ** It's now 10 months after I paid in full for the job to be completed. I am still missing the unit to control the remote blinds ! Along with the unit, I have had to deal with nasty long texts because he didn't like my review. BAD BUSINESS! I paid in full with cash because that's the only form of payment he takes. In his own words, he said "there will come a time you will need my services on those blinds" So read that as you may, but that means he is not going to stand by the warranty either ! read more

I made a very good decision hiring Nick to install my shades. He was very professional, efficient and offered a great price.

I paid for a screen door that wasn't installed. In March, I contacted Nick to install screen door. He came immediately to get the money for the screen door but never got around to installing the screen door. It was one excuse after another. Beware of this company, he is not to be trusted! read more

We are very happy with our new blinds. We ordered 2 large vertical blinds for living room and dining room and one simple horizontal set for a bedroom Nick came over in March and said it would be about 2 weeks. Fast forward to 2 months later and unforeseen delays, he finally got it done. Once we confirmed a date and time, the Installation was quick and professional. read more

I could not be more grateful to Nick for his professionalism, eye for design, and expert installation process. Nick answered all of my questions as a new homeowner on blinds and provided expert advise on measurements, blind transparency, and made the process so quick and easy! He heard my vision and brought it to life! I am very much looking forward to enjoying my new blinds for years to come and highly recommend Nick. read more

Long story short: nice at first, got harder to communicate with after he got the deposit. It has been 30 weeks in to what was quoted as an 8 week lead time. Nick has 75% of the money, has done 25% of the job. Has made several promises on timeline and not kept his word, painful to communicate with, happy to ignore messages for days or weeks at a time. Seems fine when everything is going ok, painful to deal with otherwise. Hopefully can get a refund, will update as we go. Details of the experience below. Nick came to look at two projects in my apartment in late April, shades for four windows and two sets of drapes. About $5,000. Was good to deal with on the day, easy to talk to. We agreed on the shades and drapes, he said 8 weeks, that was all fine. Very responsive up to this point. Then he sent the invoice. He charged tax on it twice, but I assume that was an honest mistake. He asked if we pay via Venmo for it to be marked as a friend instead of business so he can avoid the fees (but you also lose protection), which was fine. After we paid the 50% deposit he became much less responsive. From then on there was a lot of "I'll check back tomorrow" and no response. In late May he said the latest update was for June 14. That's ok, on track. In June he said the drapes would be delayed but he can install the shades. He came to install the shades June 22, and asked for more payment, now has been paid about 75% of the total, much more than just the cost of the shades installed. Latest update was now that the drapes would be ready in July. Messaged two weeks later on July 10 to ask for an update, no response. Followed up 4 days later, no response. Continued following up every 4-5 days, o response until August. Said he had to travel for a family emergency. Fine, understandable, but no heads up to clients who had been scheduled. Said we are set for installation of the drapes week of September 4. Messaged August 31 to ask if we could book in a day. No response. Followed up September 2, he said he would get back to me September 6. Didn't have any response, messaged him September 8 to ask if he could still make the week he said he would be able to install. No response. Followed up a few days later, still no response. Followed up September 12, Nick says he is going to pick up the drapes tomorrow (?). Don't hear anything back. Follow up on September 15 what the plan was, no response. Follow up on September 18, Nick gets back on September 19 and said there was a mistake at the factory that he's trying to get resolved, and he's working on a discount. Follow up on September 21, ignored. Again September 26, ignored. October 3, now more than 2 weeks since the last update, still ignored, no response, very worried about this radio silence, possibly have just had my money stolen and less than half the job done. On October 7 I say it has been over 20 weeks versus the original 8 quoted, and he has been very difficult to get in touch with, I would like to cancel the remainder of the order and receive a refund on that portion. He says he will give me a definite answer by the end of the week. End of the week comes and goes, I don't hear anything from him. I follow up a week later after more silence and missed deadlines. He responds that installed will be November 14 - 17 or a full refund. Message him November 11 to ask if we can schedule a date, no response. Follow up on November 14, no response. It's now November 18, he's missed the 2nd deadline for installation he gave me and has ignored 3-4 messages this week. No idea what the situation is. I think I've been pretty reasonable, but we are now 30 weeks in to what was an 8 week job and Nick is non-communicative and doesn't seem to care about giving updates or getting the job complete. Am asking for a refund now, will update as this goes on. read more

We bought a new condo with large, floor to ceiling glass doors in both the living room and bedroom. We needed custom shades installed quickly prior to move-in. Nick came in, gave us a quick estimate and we placed our order. Within two weeks, his crew came in to install. After installation, we noticed some issues with the shades sitting a little crooked and had difficulty rolling them up. This was due to some quirks in the building. Nick and his team came back and made adjustments to adapt the shades to the slight irregularity in the doorframes. Appreciated them coming back to help us! Overall, Nick was responsive, easy to work with, and clearly knowledgeable. Would recommend! read more

Went by the store on Saturday and got a quote with an approximation of the 3 blinds I needed for kitchen. left happy because Nick gave us the samples to take home so i can make a better decision regarding exposure and sunlight. that Monday, Nick came by to measure early in the morning, said it would take a couple of days. Nick called me on Wednesday to ask for my availability for Thursday (following day) and I was unfortunately unavailable. However, we were able to agree on the next day which is today Friday and Nick came early and installed the shades. I am beyond happy! Professional and honest. Thank you so much! read more

Nick was incredibly professional and got my shades done in record time. He is an honest guy doing great work. I can tell the blinds are great quality and better than any blinds I have had before. Highly recommend this business. read more

I can't say enough about how lucky I was to find Nick! I recently just moved and my apartment has 8 large floor to ceiling windows that literally allow the sun to brutally torture me at 530a every morning! I reached out to Nick on a Saturday and he came over took measurements and had my custom shades up within days!! I'm so grateful for his customer service and awesome personality as well! He was so helpful with helping me choose the right type of shades I needed as well. I definitely recommend using Nick's services when it comes to these beautiful shades and excellent customer service! Thank you again Nick so much for your help!! read more

Found Nick online but turns out a neighbor has used him some time ago too. I got off-white floor to ceiling motorized shades for two large windows (one with a sliding door) in my modern apartment. He was professional and patient with my questions and when I'd called he gave a realistic estimation of the length of time. He then came to measure the windows in person, show me fabric options and brought samples that I could put up to see what it'd look like at different times of the day and provided a quote. I also went to his shop one time to see what the other finishes could look like. A few weeks later he and another guy came to install them (probably took ~1hr) and he meticulously took his time in ensuring that the shade descended and ascended evenly (and they go up and down horizontally) and even called me over to come and see. He showed me the basics of operating the remote and told me how to care for the shades. He also kindly provided cord covers to hide the cords in the corner of the room, so that they'd blend with my walls. Two weeks after that I had an issue where the shade randomly got caught and crumpled on one side and the fabric covering the bar at the bottom began to unravel. I immediately notified him and he came the next day to check it out and fix it. Thankfully it was a freak occurrence and hasn't happened since. He was kind enough to offer that if anything else happens to let him know and he'd come take a look. As many others have said, compared to the other stores his turnaround times were the quickest! Only thing is he primarily takes/prefers checks so bear that in mind. read more

Installation was great; however, I did not receive the charger for the motor when the battery dies out. "Nick" said he would send it over to me and still have not received it. Followed up three times in the past 6 weeks and now he is not responding. Please make sure everything needed for the shades has arrived before making final payment. read more

They are professional and reliable. The work is done in a timely manner. A specialty that is hard to find the bar days!

So glad to have found a local business to work with for my shades. Nick was helpful figuring out what options would work best for my space and I'm happy to have gone with motorized shades for my apt - they look great! Bonus - the time quoted to installation was the quickest out of everyone I spoke with. Highly recommend! read more

I love my motorized shades so much! Nick made the entire process easy - from measuring, to going over shade options, to installation. My apartment renovation unexpectedly took over a year to finish, and Nick was amazing in following up and storing my shades until they were ready to be installed. The sun shade brings in the perfect amount of the light, and the blackout shade works almost too well - it's difficult to get out of bed in the am! I can't recommend Nick enough - excellent work, customer service, fair pricing and his shades are gorgeous!!! read more

My wife and I had electric (automatic) shades installed in our apartment. Nick was wonderful throughout the process. Super responsive, high quality work (in the time frame promised), very reasonably pricing, and extremely professional (always wore mask, etc). Nick's expertise also came in handy. Others we had spoken to suggested motorized shades that used a battery. Nick's assessment was that because of the large area size, we'd have to charge them much more frequently than the 'normal' 6-12 months, so a hard-wired option made a lot more sense. Thanks again Nick! read more

Really great service. Nick was very nice and friendly. We are so happy with our blinds in our new apartment. The quality is good and the blinds work well. He had good options for material and types of blinds. It didn't take too long for them to be made and instillation was quick. read more

This is my 2nd time using Nick. This time was to install a single blackout blind in my bedroom (the first time was to install my initial blinds in 2020 when I moved into my apt). It took a few attempts to get it right by Nick's worker so Nick personally came to fix it and overall I am satisfied by the work on this project. read more
