Bill from North Shore Shutters was recommended to me by a friend who used them for her custom…read moreshades. I am so thankful for the recommendation because the process was so easy and affordable, compared to other window treatment companies, through North Shore Shutters. I contacted Bill who was easy to communicate with and scheduled for an estimate. I highly appreciate his straightforward personality and unapologetic honesty. He knows he has a great product and provides incredible prices; he doesn't have to sell you on anything. He didn't try to upsell me and informed me of my options that gave me more bang for my buck. For example, he told me that he has a team that could install the shades (for a very reasonable price) but if someone in the house was handy and as long as we knew how to use a drill, we could install the shades ourselves. He was right, the shades weren't difficult to install. With the right drill bit and a charged drill, it only took a couple of hours to install 9 shades. Bill informed me of a promotional North Shore Shutters was offering over the summer that was still running, free upgrade for Bottom Up Top Down shades. These cellular shades are quality! They are lightweight but sturdy and look so beautiful in our home. The room darkening shades do a great job of keeping our bedroom dim in the morning where we have two East facing windows. If you're looking for competitive prices, call Bill, the price for all 9 shades was incredible! After accepting the proposal and once the invoice was paid for (happened all on the same day), it took 2 weeks for the blinds to arrive. I highly recommend Bill and North Shore Shutters, I would request their services again if I was ever in need again but I have a feeling these shades will never need to be replaced as long as we never move.

We have a sunroom that needed shades but we knew we'd have limited options with this particular room, and Bill was extremely knowledgeable and upfront about what would work best for us. His installation team was excellent too!Everyone was so nice and friendly, but even more important they did great work. There was 1 shade that was not the right size and Bill and his team corrected it within just a few days without any issues. They took the time to make sure we were happy with everything and that we knew how to charge the motorized shades and operate the remote for them. We highly recommend Bill and his team!

I would give zero stars if I could. DO NOT USE THIS COMPANY!…read moreSave the frustration (and a ton of money) and go to The Home Depot. Terrible customer service on every level. We paid for our shades and installation on 5/3/25, today is 8/8/25 and the install is yet to be completed, and they can't find time to fit us in until the end of September. Measurements taken by their employee were ignored when making the shades. I have been asked to miss work 4 times for in home appointments, 2 additional then needed (at this point), because of their mistakes. After having an installer who could not finish the install at the first appointment we waited 6 weeks for another appointment and they sent an installer in training, by himself, who did not have the necessary skills to finish the install either, knowing full well what was necessary for the appointment, ridiculous. Now waiting another 6 weeks. Shelly has ZERO concept of customer service, multiple times telling us that delayed responses were because the display room was busy. In other words, a customer who has paid multiple thousands of dollars with them is not important enough to take 5 minutes to respond to an email. ABSOLUTELY HORRIBLE

He did everything, and this made the whole process so much simpler. We had an issue with an error from the manufacturer--the bottom of the blind wasn't level with the sill. Called Chris, he came out and agreed--no problem. He ordered a new blind, installed it himself when it was ready, and then pointed out that a few of the rows toward the bottom of the blind were slightly crinkled and said the crinkle should smooth itself out, but, if not, we should call him and he'd l have it remade again. I was so impressed with this. Turns out we didn't have to call him. The crinkle smoothed itself out as he expected. FYI: The last time I dealt with a window treatment company, one of the woven blinds we ordered had a very noticeable flaw when it was installed--it was somewhat unraveled in a very small spot, but, because the installer wasn't the owner, and only did his job--which was to install--he didn't say a word about it. So we just thought we'd have to put up with the flaw, and we HAVE been. If it had been Chris, HE would have pointed out the flaw and would have reordered a new blind without hesitation. I wouldn't use anyone else for window treatments in the future. DELIGHTED to give Bloomin' Binds a top-notch review!!!!! Thanks Chris for such superb service!

Their pricing was good -- I did online comparisons to be sure. Their showroom was very helpful because we could go there and see various options in person and view how the automation alternatives actually worked. Their in-home visit enabled us to choose materials and colors right in the environment where the blinds would be installed. We choose automated blinds that change position relative to the sunrise and sunset so that we have the perfect combination of light and privacy in our family room with window walls on three sides. We can also control our blinds with Amazon's Alexa or Apple's Siri. This shows the kind of experience that we appreciate. We are so glad to hear that they have relocated to Wilmette, closer to us. This is the kind of service and expertise that this area deserves!

My most recent project included quotes for three projects, of which I followed through with one--remote controlled blind for two skylights. The process was seamless: I contacted Debbie, we agreed on a time that suited us both, she measured and made recommendations based on my needs. Shortly afterwards, I received a quote, once I gave the go ahead, we scheduled an installation date. The installer came at the exact time that he indicated he would arrive and let me know the steps and approximate time he would be at my house and gave me a tutorial on how to use the blinds. I always go back to Debbie because I can always expect this level of service. I never feel pressured to fulfill all the quotes that she provides. In fact, I have put several project on hold and returned to them years later, and Debbie has been equally accommodating! Further, working with Debbie is like working with a good friend, I always feel like she has my best interest in mind when picking out products and I never feel rushed to make a decision.

I HIGHLY recommend Donna and Web Decors. Before we selected Donna we had received a quote from…read moreanother company as well as pricing things on the internet that would require self-installation. Donna was the first pro that we heard from and she should have been the LAST!!! We received the quote from the other company and the price they quoted us for two rooms was more than Web Decors quoted us for our entire first floor. I could not believe that there would be such a huge price difference in two different companies. Not only was the price for two rooms through a competitor more than all the work that Donna did but the other company did not quote us the wood shutters which were the most expensive part of this project. Donna is very good about communication and getting back to you very quickly on any questions that you might have. Her and her installer Brad are both professional and will let you know if there will be a delay. We were told that the install would be hopefully completed by Christmas and it was. We COULD NOT BE HAPPIER with the window treatments that Donna helped us pick out and that Brad expertly installed. Our house is 100 years old and we were a bit concerned that the wood shutters would look natural as extensions had to be used to get around the windows. It looks as though these were a part of the original house. We have had guests over who remarked on how beautiful the treatments look and how natural they fit into the room. It is common to get more than one estimate for a project but do yourself a favor. Get an estimate or two from a competitor and then call Donna at Web Decors and see what her prices will be. I am pretty sure that you will be pleasantly surprised by her pricing and I can guarantee that you will be happy with the finished project.
