Found them via Yelp. Chris, owner, came and gave us a quotation. Yes, not the cheapest, but ours was a big window requiring a blackout blind. We weren't in a hurry to have the job done and wanted it doing right first time around. Alex came and fitted pleasantly and as efficiently as he could bearing in mind he'd been provided with a wrong bracket (NOT by anyone at Comfort blinds, an outside source). He didn't let us down and left us to get the correct one. So all was fitted within the day. Very happy with the result. Worth the $'s for ease of service and installation. A small, efficient and well run company. I'd certainly recommend. read more

Love our new blinds!! One roller blind with remote and four wooden blinds with screens. They look beautiful!!! Chris was very efficient in the quote, design and installation. We highly recommend Comfort Blinds and Screens. read more

I guess you need an expensive order, or one that doesn't involve screens, to get a response and follow-up from Chris. I needed screens for all the windows on my three-floor townhouse (newly acquired cat). Someone in my development with cats recommended Chris, so I tried to get in touch. Repeatedly. He has a website with an email address on it. I emailed the address. No response. I then tried the contact form on the website, thinking maybe my direct email had gone to spam. No response. Then I saw on Yelp that the company claims to get back to you with a "quote" in 24 hours, so I tried that (this was the only actual recommendation I had -- I wanted it to work.) What I got back wasn't a "quote" of any sort, but he did respond that I should phone him. (Well, hey, that was an improvement. Just -- phoning and playing phone tag are harder if you work during the day.) I finally had time to phone. He was EXTREMELY noncommittal, telling me he didn't really have anyone to install screens, but...hey...I was in a convenient location, so he could probably make it work. He took my details, and said he'd get back the next week to set up a time to come measure. Then he never got back to me. Yep, I finally got the message. I just wish he could have bothered to take two minutes to respond to my first email to tell me he didn't have the bandwidth to do screens right now, or had said so directly on the phone. read more

Bzzzzzzzzzz Ahhhhh mosquitos everywhere. Well, maybe two buzzing about. Oh the joys of owning an older apartment. We discovered our windows and patios to be very very custom in their measurements. Actually... not even square! But a simple search on Yelp revealed Chris. He came by to measure, and returned a few days later to install. No problems, no hidden fees, no surprises. A year later and they are are still mint. Paid a little extra for the heavy duty metal screens with no regrets. The alternative for us would have been ordering custom screens from the states, and me floundering about trying to make them fit. Ugh. No way! Thanks for the mosquito free house :) read more

What a great experience!! I called Comfort Blinds to arrange a time to go in to check out some options for my bedroom windows. Chris answered the call (after 5PM) and offered to come by the house the next morning. He brought a bunch of option for me to look at, explained the benefits of each and helped me settle on the best system based on my budget and needs. Later that day, I was at Home Depot and decided to get a second quote. They were DOUBLE the cost of Chris' quote. Making me feel so much better to give him my business. The custom blinds where ordered and arrived a couple of weeks later. Chris came by, installed them in a few hours and even vacuumed up after he was done. They look AMAZING!!! I would highly recommend Chris and Comfort Blinds for all of your window covering needs. This is a great example of a local business doing it right. Thank you Chris. read more

We were desperate for screens for our windows, because summer is coming, we live in a hot apartment, and we have a VERY curious cat! Before Chris came, we couldn't open our windows, because Tucker would try and jump out! Chris saved the day; he measured our windows, and custom made "pet protection" screens. Thanks to Chris, our cat won't go SPLAT! Chris is honest, reliable, and I'd recommend him. He also does custom blinds. If we get them, he will be our GO TO guy. Great service. Awesome results. Thanks Chris! read more

Highly recommended. Fantastic service, fantastic roller-blinds. I had estimates from this company, and two others, and Chris and his team were (by far) the best. Price-wise, they were not cheap, but not too expensive either, and they are comparable with the estimates of the other two companies. I got good quality, customized blinds, so you always have to pay a bit more for that. The blinds feel much more robust and smooth than my old ones. And the service was great. When Chris came to my place, he came with a number of fabric binders (way more options than the other two companies provided), including what seemed like more modern, newer design options as well. There was lots to go through, so put aside an hour or so for that. He did not rush me, but patiently waited for me to select my blind fabrics, and answered all of my questions. I really appreciated his calm demeanour and professionalism. He took correct measurements and noted all of my specifications, and followed up with me via email and phone as needed, and promptly. Because of the custom nature of my blinds, I had to wait about a month for them to be ready. Chris informed me of this in advance. John and David came to install the blinds, and were super efficient, friendly, and respectful. They did an excellent installation job. They are detail-oriented, and showed that they want to do the job right, not just get it done fast. Because a couple of my window frames aren't perfectly square, they informed me of my options for hanging the blinds, and discussed it with me before proceeding with the installation. Also, they went out of their way to genuinely help me out, and I really, really appreciate that :))) So thanks you guys, I'm very happy with my new blinds!! read more

Chris and his installer Alex were both great. Really fast response time and had helpful advice. The estimate was 4 weeks for the blinds to arrive and be installed, and they ended up installed in less. Very satisfied with the service and the product. read more

They had flexible and prompt availability, and a very reasonable rate. Wasted no time in correctly measuring our windows. The screens arrived very fast after being ordered, and were installed perfectly. No more wasps trying to steal our dinner! Danny was excellent, working around our kids/moving mess to complete a professional and perfect job. I wouldn't look any further if you need new screens on your windows! read more

I would highly recommend this company. The owner, Chris and his helpers, John and Daniel are all very professional and helpful. From my painful experience in the past of only relying on friends' referrals, then be disappointed when these referred workers came to serve me.... I have resorted to the assistance of Yelp! Reading all sorts of reviews on Yelp, before I have decided to try these guys out. From a fellow consumer's review, I knew that she has already checked out prices of the competition, like Home Depot...I know that price-wise, Chris is competitive and he is confident about it. I ended up picking a relatively high end product - Hunter Douglas honeycomb blinds for our 2 bedroom condo unit, plus screens for all windows. Chris did make a mistake in the measurements of a panel in the living room ;o( Hence I gave them 4 stars instead of 5 :o) That has resulted in a long delay in the completion of the installation, because the blinds of the right measurements have to be reordered. That was a pain! But these guys are very nice people and the final work results were very good, that I would overlook this imperfection. Chris's after sales service is very good too. He promptly arranged Daniel to fix a problem that occurred on our remote control unit for the living room blinds, just about a week after the completion of the installation. I would have no hesitation in recommending this company to whoever that needs blinds and screens for their homes. read more

Chris Knox was prompt and informative. He provided me with multiple options and came in cheaper than the two other quotes I obtained. His installer, John and one other person, did a decent job -- but there were a few issues (perhaps unique to my property) that Chris had him come back to address. In addition, one of the products shipped with a defect and Chris replaced it asap. So it wasn't a perfect experience, but I think it's pretty important to highlight that Chris fixed any issues to ensure a satisfied customer. And I am satisfied -- the new blinds look great! read more

We just had Comfort Blinds order and install Double Cellular blinds in 2 rooms, with 6 huge glass windows overlooking the ocean. My husband and I are both extremely pleased with the results! Chris Knox came to see us a few days after we called, and, after we looked at other suppliers, he came back again on a few days notice to finalize the sale with us. I found Comfort Blinds by simply looking at yelp and calling several companies that had good reviews. We got 3 quotes, but eliminated one of them because it was really just an individual who had little experience with cellular blinds, which is what we wanted. The other company could certainly have done the job, and seemed extremely competent, but, their price was several thousand dollars higher. Comfort Blinds is bigger than a one man show, but is certainly still small enough that the principal, Chris, goes to customers to make the sales himself, and to measure, and then when the blinds come in, to send out his install team. The ordering went smoothly. Chris showed us books of choices and after discussing our needs, helped us decide on the brand. We got motorized, and he explained that he no longer carries a cheaper motorized mechanism because there were too many problems with it. A friend of mine in another town who has motorized cellular blinds, told me that she had the other brand, and it gave a lot of problems, so she finally stopped using the motor. Corroboration for Chris' experience! Chris said 3 or 4 weeks to order, and they came in early, so he was able to send his install team out a week earlier than we expected. Chris' measurement were absolutely perfect! We have negligible light between any of the adjoining blinds, and the corners are perfect, with no light showing at the corner. The install team came at the specified time, and put them up quickly and competently, wrapping up our old blinds, which we wanted to keep, and clearing away all the packing material. All in all an excellent and painless experience. We will definitely go with Comfort Blinds again if we need blinds. We rate Comfort Blinds at a 5. read more

I can review the process in two parts. First, Chris was excellent to work with, was able to steer us to what we really liked and wanted, and worked professionally to make sure we were happy with the finished product. Second, referencing the product - we purchased exceptional looking blinds, Hunter Douglas Silhouettes, which worked with our home perfectly. Chris masterfully measured and installed all the blinds in the expected time frame. Unfortunately one of the blinds, the largest, seemed to not be able to hang flat and smooth, and eventually, after three tries, we finally have the look we were seeking. This wrinkle should in no way reflect poorly on Chris who was our greatest advocate in eventually helping us to receive the final product. We would highly recommend this professional and we would suggest to Hunter Douglas that customers need to know that when ordering this type of blind there might be some wrinkling for several weeks before they self correct. We thank Chris and would certainly use his services again should the occasion arise. read more

Used Comfort Blinds recently for bedroom blackout shades. Work was done in a timely manner despite some personal glitches. Shades were of excellent quality and installed in the appropriate time frame. Chris responded quickly after the shades were installed when one of them did not close properly. Would not hesitate to recommend them for future work. read more

Chris arranged to have roller shades and bug screens installed, and everything turned out very well. John the installer, was prompt, polite and efficient. I would have Chris come back for any future projects! read more

Rude on the phone and rude in person. This company had two chances to make an impression, the first was when an associate called two days later than was initially promised, then he missed our appointment after calling the day before to push it back an hour. The serving was when I called to reschedule with someone else, whoever answered was kind of rude, but I gave him the benefit of the doubt considering I called late on a Friday afternoon. But then when he showed up for the appointment he actually seemed angry when I told him that I had gotten other quotes (um that's what you're supposed to do when getting this type of service). He didn't end up sending me a quote, which was for the best because I wouldn't want to do business with his company anyway. read more

Having moved into my new place and with the sudden heat, I urgently needed screens on my windows. Chris was willing to come the same day to take the measurements and had the screens ready to deliver and install in little over 24 hours. Excellent service, I can't recommend him enough! read more

Chris did a really great job, with good quality blinds at a comparable price to a lesser product. I was frustrated with calling around requesting quotes from other companies, only to have no one call me back. Chris called me back within an hour to set up a time to come by and measure our windows and give us a price. The price was slightly higher than what we were looking at, but Chris only deals with top quality manufacturers. But the real difference was the service. He worked within our budget and then installed them on a really short timeline, actually installing them on a Saturday (his birthday, no less!) Eight months on, we are so happy with our blinds and wonder how we ever managed without them. We definitely recommend Chris and Comfort Blinds and Screens. read more

Chris was informative, polite and responsive. With that said, he mismeasure 3 out of 7 roller shades I was installing. Those shades had to be remade and installer rescheduled (no extra cost of course). read more

Professional, prompt, courteous and informative from top to bottom. Expert advice and expert installation. First rate.

Chris is the best. If you need screens for your window look no further. Chris had our screen door built and installed in record time. Courteous and knowledgeable, a real pro. Thanks so much Chris ! read more

I talked to Nancy to get some information as I was to gather some quotes for a project, therefore, this is a communication based feedback. She returned my call within the hour of leaving a message and she politely and of course clearly answered my questions for me. Thank you so much for that. read more

Chris gave good recommendations for the condo that I rent out. The order came close to the estimated date he predicted and John, his installer, was friendly, skillful and tardy. I would highly recommend you try Comfort Blinds and Screens. read more

I contacted Chris from Comfort Blinds and Screens as our patio and basement doors needed screens to prevent the bugs from coming into the house during the summer. It gets very hot in the house during the summer. Chris was easy to contact and very upfront and straightforward with pricing. When he came to do our measurements, it was obvious he was a professional and very fluent in this field of work. 2 weeks later, our blinds were in and very professionally installed. No fuss or run around. The product was quite decent and sturdy (not the cheap Home Depot brands) and made a huge difference in cooling down inside the house without letting bugs get in. Chris provided great service and a good product at a reasonable price. I would call him again if I had to do another screen for another door. read more

You can't go wrong with getting blinds from Chris and Comfort Blinds. Lots of choices and a professional installation at a reasonable cost. I had a problem with one blind and it was replaced within days with no hassle. I will use their service again and recommend them if you need blinds or window coverings. read more

I don't spend a lot of money on stuff for my place so buying blackout blind was a big deal. Chris Knox took the time to help me figure out what I wanted and had good suggestions about texture and hue. He explained the pros and cons of the different kinds of chains. When I needed a warranty fix, he was quick to get back to me and make it happen. I would highly recommend Chris's Comfort Blinds & Screens. read more

As promised, this is part 2 of my review. My initial review ended with me documenting my frustration with the on-going saga of trying to get Chris to finish the installation we paid him to do. I am happy to report that Chris contacted me Wednesday July 24th, and let me know that he received the needed materials and could finish the work the next day. We arranged a time late in the afternoon, and he arrived as promised, and completed the work in about 2 hours (sliding screen doors for our patio doors, and 5 screen windows). The work was well done, everything fit nicely, and through our conversations, I caught wind of some supplier issues and miscommunication Chris was having with them, thus delaying the work we were waiting for. While I still feel that we could have been communicated to more clearly, I do empathize with Chris in trying to be clear with his customers when his suppliers might be less than clear or reliable with him. My impression is that this isn't the norm, as evidenced by the other positive reviews Chris has received on this site. In conclusion, what started promisingly, then turned sour, has ended well. I am happy with the work performed, the fit and quality of the materials, and would recommend Chris to others. read more

The few rather hot days in May got us all alarmed about getting window screens. It's the first summer we are going to spend in Vancouver, after buying our current house three years ago. We tried keeping the windows open. Bees flew in and we chased and swatted to get rid of them, such an annoying task. I started to do homework about window screens the next day. Actually visited one store nearby. They have so ugly kind for my push-out windows, with a protruding part of screen to deal with the handles! Had to forget about that. Called around and checked more on the Internet. And, I was very happy to read the good reviews about Chris' work. Indeed, I was not disappointed. The very personable Chris came and measured for my 16 windows, and later installed for most of them. Perfect fit! And, simple and beautiful! So transparent! Easily removable after the season. I had to share my joy of owning window screens on my Wechat network. Price is completely reasonable. Total pleasure to work with Chris. Now I'm just waiting for Chris to install for the rest three windows. read more

I had consultations from a few companies, but Chris was the only one who took the time to show me all of the options I could choose from. Chris was very professional and gave me advice on what would look best and still fit within my budget. He double and triple checked the measurements which resulted in the blinds fitting perfectly. It is obvious that Chris really takes pride in his work and takes the time to make sure everything is exactly right. He wasn't happy with how one of them fit, so came back with a new one. What stood out for me was that Chris was very respectful of me and my home. I have used other companies and contractors for different things and I found they would charge in having no respect for me or my things and would rush the work doing an unsatisfactory job. Even 6 months later I contacted Chris with a question about the blinds and he got back to me the same day with an answer. I highly recommend using Comfort Blinds; I am very happy with my blinds, they are beautiful. read more

Chris came in a few months ago for a free in home consultation. Took way longer than I thought was necessary and then never emailed me the quote he was supposed to put together. A waste of time! read more

good service, great prices. we had sliding window screens and push out window screens made by chris. chris made the process really easy and stress free. read more

Very pleased with my new blinds. Chris was great to deal with, replied to my inquiries promptly, and John installed the blinds quickly and was very pleasant as well. Competitive rates too, definitely recommend. read more

We had Chris installed screens for our patio door and windows. He did a great job and everything looks high quality. His price was very reasonable too. We will definitely use his service again in the future and will recommend him to our friends. read more

Had this company install blinds for my condo in Vancouver recently. I shopped around, this company had the best price. Chris showed up when he was supposed to, installed the blinds perfectly, and did a great job cleaning up after himself. Would not hesitate to recommend Comfort Blinds to our friends. read more

Chris provides an excellent service. My window posed a bit of a challenge. Chris was very reliable. He spent the time to take the measurements and show me various products. His prices were very competitive and definitely better than the other quote I had for the same blinds. He advised me not only on the look of the blinds but functionality. I am very satisfied with the service Chris provided. read more

We recently learned the hard way the challenges of working with installers subcontracted by one of the big box stores. After months and several botched installations, we started talking to the store about simply taking back the incorrect/damaged blinds and refunding our money. We went looking for a smaller shop to do the work and came across Comfort Blinds and Screens. Chris got back to me quickly, arrived prepared for an initial measurement and took the time to thoroughly assess our needs and provide an accurate assessment of what was possible and what challenges might be encountered in the process (e.g. some of our windows are not quite square). It could not have been more different from the work of the big box store's subcontractors and yet his quote was very similar. read more

We were on a major rush against time in having our unit completed, they were able to measure, order, and install all that was needed, within the time that was needed. Install was perfect, they cleaned up and vacuumed after themselves (which is expected but not common nowadays). Would highly recommend them. read more
