I'm a repeat customer, previously having ordered some Ivory light-filtering shades from them for our living room (see pictures). We were completely satisfied with the customer experience and the final product the first time around, so when we needed shades for another room that we were sprucing up, we knew without a doubt that we wanted to go with A Blinds again. Both times, when I called for an estimate, they promptly scheduled an appointment to come out and meet with us. They showed up on time, brought some samples and pictures to talk us through the various options, and took measurements. They were friendly, listened to our needs and preferences, and were eager to ensure that we would be pleased with the product and that it would achieve the lighting and shade goals we had for the space. They told us it would be 5-6 weeks to receive the custom-sized shades after we ordered, and they came in exactly in that timeframe. Even the installer was concerned with making sure we were pleased with the install before he left. They promote their exceptional aftercare, which we haven't needed so far because of the great quality shades and installation. But I believe in their product and great customer service, so I trust that they will take good care of us if we ever need any aftercare. It's hard to find good contractors, but A Blinds has certainly earned our trust, and I would highly recommend them. Thank you!

Happy to have found A-Blinds when we were looking for custom window coverings for our new condo!…read more We knew we wanted motorized shades this time and really wanted to put some thought into selection to complete the vibe of the new home. After meeting with a few companies we chose A-Blinds for the sense of attention to detail and their unique products that we hadn't seen anywhere else. The motors ended up being back ordered, but Jae kept us in the loop and worked hard to rush the order while we were still in town. They were also able to fit us into their busy schedule, which we really appreciated. Communication throughout the process was excellent--responsive, professional, and easy to work with. We had an issue after installation, but they stood behind their work and took care of it. We also have a few touch-ups to complete on our next visit, and we appreciate their willingness to come back and handle those details! Overall, we're happy with the products, service, and communication. It's refreshing to work with a company that cares about their customers and stands behind their work! Mahalo!

This review is long overdue but Shades West did a phenomenal job at upgrading our condo!

The living shades have the perfect visibility for our view to still come through, while making a huge difference in temperature from that afternoon Hawai'i heat. The bedroom shades are black out, just the way we like it and keep the room much cooler throughout the day.

I've always heard about Wong's Draperies so stopped by to talk to them. I needed floor to ceiling drapes for two windows and wanted a heavier fabric. They came out and measured. Mel Wong, the owner, came out and looked at the room and suggested a fabric which was cheaper than the one I was looking at. I went with his suggestion and was glad that I did. It took over a month for the drapes to be made. I also wanted sheers behind the drapes so needed two rods. I like to have sheer curtains to add some privacy during the day or to shade the room a bit during mid-day. After the installation, the drapes started to hang on the carpet. I contacted Mel and he explained that it could be due to the weight of the drapes and came out and personally adjusted them. I appreciated his quick response. I'm very happy with the drapes and think they make the room look so nice. I also love the pull handles that make it so easy to open and shut the drapes. I hope they continue to stay in business as it would be hard to find someone else to do such quality work!

They're West facing so the hottest part of the day once the sun comes around is beating on the plastic glide pieces that hold the curtain up to our window. Being in Hawaii you can imagine how intense that can be. At some point someone must have pulled in with the weight of the curtain and the brittleness of the plastic spacers that hold the hooks on the curtain gave way and we had a dip where 7 of them went at once. We don't know when it happened or how it happened so we started checking around for somebody with a good reputation to come and take care of it for our daughter who has the apartment. After a couple uneventful phone calls to drapery repair and installation businesses we came across this one. Fortunately after reading their 5 star Yelp Review and a brilliant conversation with someone in the office we thought we'd give them a try. Actually we left a message and they called us back within minutes. And my wife found everyone on the other end of the line very hospitable and welcoming the new clientele and looking forward to having them come and take care of our situation. Then Jerry showed up. It was like having a favorite Mr Fix-It Uncle stop by to take care of the family. He was charming, informative, funny, and best of all, he fixed it. He is a hoot. Nice being entertained while someone's doing a job for you by the person that's doing the job for you. The job was actually done professionally and quickly but we really enjoyed his banter and encouraged him to tell us more about himself. It was that much fun. And I have to be honest with you and say the rates are affordable. I would have no problem whatsoever calling him to return to do the same again for any problems that we had with curtain, rails or any other thing that he works on. I wish I could give 6 stars. We're very happy thank you.

The long wait times (to be expected) between order and installation left plenty of time for me (the house owner and the one who paid) to be informed that a different blind was selected. That was not communicated to me at any point. When the installation team came out is when I found out that it was not what I wanted. Where I have an issue is Kawika pointed the finger at the person present at the consultation for choosing the blinds. He has my number. He has my email. He did not at any point reach out and confirm with me, who set up the appointment and made the payments, the selected blinds is the one I wanted since it was different from what was selected during the consultation. To give credit to Budget Blinds, they have been professional the entire time with a fast install time. When I brought up the issue, Kawika did offer a steep discount. Its the principal of communication in this instance where I have the issue. This is a $5000 mistake that could have been easily rectified if the Budget Blinds team reached out to me to confirm what I actually wanted.

For years I know I wanted to cover it with the shades but nothing came to satisfy what I wanted to put there. As I was searching around online for the blinds and shades, I found A Blinds through Yelp like most people on here. What intrigued me was the variety of shades and the pictures I saw on here. So with free estimation I decided to call and have one of their technician and designer stop by. Jae had many choices of shade but really help to nail down into one or two choices. This was very easy to choose from for someone like myself. I decided to go for the Sashiko weave fabric knowing that I love the Japanese culture and art. The Sashiko pattern was something I was introduced when I visited Kyoto, Japan. After about two weeks or so, the team Daniel and Jae came back to install the Sashiko shades. I say this is one of the most elegant shades I have ever had in my home. Its definitely a museum level quality and it made the overall ambience of my house into a royal palace. I'm extremely happy with the level of execution A Blinds team did to my house. Thank you A Blinds! I would recommend them to anyone reading this review.
