I have never shopped for blinds, shades, shutters, etc. before, and was feeling a bit overwhelmed…read moreby all the options available. I ended up using Yelp to search for highly rated companies that serviced my area. That is how I found Gulf Coast Blinds and Shutters. Kim Van Wieren came out to do my in-home estimate, and he brought a massive amount of samples to look through. After coordinating with my sister who lives overseas, we settled on a colour and amount of transparency. Once the shades were ready, Kim came back out and did the installation. I could not be happier with the quality and the overall look. Switching from the old dated plastic miniblinds to modern shades made the room really come alive. This was the BEST decision I could have made and Kim was so patient and kind throughout the whole process.

I absolutely would not recommend this company. I used them because the previous owner of my house…read morehad used them and I needed additional blinds so everything could match. I used them three times and every time they came out for the installation they did not do what we agreed on during the consultation and then said they gaslighted me saying telling me thats not what we agreed upon (it is MY home....I know what I asked you to do). One designer even ordered one set of blinds differently than agreed upon and said after the installation (oh I liked it better that way so I ordered it like that) even though it is different from every other blind in the house.

My initial visit with Rich was great. He was very informative, friendly, and not salesy. After…read morehis visit I went to another Blinds company to compare prices and it was a distasteful experience. The lady spoke negatively of Budget Blinds and came off dishonest.. a completely different experience from Rich. I decided 5 mins into that interaction that I was sticking with Rich. Just based on the professional and friendly customer service. Unfortunately, my shades weren't what I wanted them to be but Rich & Mark did not take it personal and they were so patient and kind even though I was very blunt about what I didn't like. Somehow one of windows was a different shade, the valances weren't what was described, and we didn't like how they looked (personal opinion) but others liked them. They did everything within their power to satisfy us as their customers. They contacted the manufacturer to correct the issues that were pointed out and did it without any animosity. Rich owned the misinformation given to me and that's powerful. This could have been a 2 star review, just because of all of the things that "went wrong". I understand not every transaction will go smoothly, which happened to be mine, but the way they handled everything was Chik-fil-a top tier, lol. I didn't want to mention the series of unfortunate events but to me that is what brought out their best service. FYI the issues were out of their control and I am picky. At the end of the day, people buy from people. I will continue to refer business to them.

I wish there was an option of 0 stars. BEWARE BUYERS JASON WADE IS A LIAR AND A CHEAT :…read more Our experience with Jason Wade at Budget Blinds has caused stress, financial impact, delays, and emotional hardship for my family. He yelled, made excuses, lied about what was included, blamed others for his errors, and even used profanity on speakerphone in front of my family. We discovered missing blinds only when the installer showed up -- something Jason never communicated. Then he denied responsibility and tried to shift blame. I am disabled, dealing with significant stress already -- and Jason's aggressive behavior and refusal to take accountability made the situation worse. I have worked with multiple contractors during our home renovations -- Jason Wade is the only one who treated us with disrespect, dishonesty, and negligence. We will never recommend him and strongly advise customers to avoid hiring Jason Wade.

Total con man-RUN from ASAP blinds and Darryl Newborn!…read more Darryl Newborn is as slick as they come-paid 10K for customized roller shades to cover my back patio-took about a year from initial payment (dude requires 75% up front-that should have been the red flag but I was dumb) to when shades were installed-some story about shipping from China (came to learn shades came from Seattle-this guy can spin them), and they shipped the wrong shades-story after story Finally shades come in and employs some incompetent installer to do the work that had ZERO idea what he was doing When Darryl continued to ghost me after the faulty installation (and their attempt to fix the faulty instillation) i was lucky enough to find the original manufacturer of the shades (who btw told me that he doesn't do business with Daryl anymore cuz Daryl doesn't pay his bills-he couldn't get a hold of Daryl either) who got me in contact with a reputable shade installer who came and fixed everything-the install was a total mess-so lucky that this didn't fall and hurt/kill someone Never in my life have I dealt with someone this dishonest and deceptive-to be fair though it probably is just complete incompetence-claims he's been in houston for decades but the Houstonians I know don't act like this-go back to wherever your from Darryl Regardless DO NOT do business with him unless you just want to give him your $ for nothing
