I have no idea what happened with this company. They really dropped the ball with me. So hard to work with. I scheduled an appt and he didnt show up the day of because I didnt answer his call when he tried confirming about an hour before the appt. I would assume you confirm your schedule at least a day before. My phone was on silent and i missed the call and when I realized it was past appt time, I checked and had a missed call . Strike 1. We rescheduled as he explained they get burned and need to confirm appt (ok, maybe do the day before). He did show at the next appt during our scheduled appt time, measures a few windows and I had to track down quote because he forgot to send. I finally tried to order and he lost the invoice, which i resent him, then I was ghosted. I wanted to try and love, but didnt even get the chance. On to a more responsive, organized company I guess. read more

I just needed existing blinds I had on-hand to be professionally installed in an extremely high location. Unlike other vendors, they offered what I needed without needing to sell me products or a full replacement window coverings job. Straight shooters, reasonable pricing especially for being out of primary service area. read more

Sometimes dealing with home, improvement is difficult because people don't keep their word or even show up. That was not the case with Ron Allen and sons. They arrived when promised, my blinds came when they told me they would, they were installed promptly. Blinds are great quality and look fantastic. Overall, a very pleasant experience. read more

Excellent, quick, and high quality materials! Sorry it took me over a year to give a review - but we love our shutters - thank you read more

Ron Allen and son Brett were wonderful to work with. After sending photos of my shade, to show my issue, we set up an appointment to repair. Brett communicated the exact time he would show up for our appointment the day of, he diagnosed the problem with my shade and had the repair parts to install a new clutch and brackets. My shade is working beautifully and I am so glad I found Ron Allen on Yelp. Thank you. read more

I highly recommend Ron Allen and Sons. We used them for our new shutters and are very happy with their service. Ron and his son are very knowledgeable and helped guide us to the right shutter style for our home. The turn-around time was only about 2 weeks. Their prices are very reasonable. The shutters look great. We are happy we could support a local family business. read more

I loved everything about my interactions with both Ron and his son Brett during our search for the appropriate window coverings for our living room and bedroom. I was so worried about finding window coverings that did not completely take away our views but also provided adequate sun protection. They found the perfect materials and look for our home and we are so, so happy! read more

This review is way overdue! I have been meaning to write about the great work that Ron and his son Brett did for us a few months ago. They installed some indoor custom shades in our house that are both beautiful and light filtering. The back of our house faces the ocean and the setting Sun blasts our back windows. Ron recommended and created the perfect solution! We ended up using their services again when we installed a backyard pergola and wanted a retractable shade for extra privacy. It has created a cozy outdoor space that serves as an extension of our house. The shade is waterproof and very solidly made and the mounting and hardware have held up very nicely in all the rain. This family owned company is a pleasure to do business with and we're so happy we found them! read more

5 STARS If you're looking for new quality perfect-fitting shutters for your home at an incredibly great price, you have to go with Ron Allen & Son!! I totally scored going with this company. I wasn't sure who to go with so I shopped around and Ron Allen & Son had incredible reviews and I wanted the same reliability others were getting. The difference between Ron Allen & Son and other businesses is that Ron & Son is a smaller business so you get that personal relationship with them as opposed to just being a number with the other companies. Don't let the smaller business thing fool you though, although they are family-owned they get BIG BUSINESS and it's no surprise why! They installed our polyresin shutters and vertical blinds too in less than an hour and did such an amazing job. No mess, no hassle, they made sure everything was absolutely perfect! The neighbors have already been admiring their work and its a really good feeling to have the house look like a Home. The photos I'm posting really don't do it justice because in person you can really feel the quality of the product which is ultimately what we all want in the end. Ron gave us the estimate as soon as we reached out and his son, Brett, and his colleague came along to do the installation. Phenomenal work, I would absolutely recommend this business to anybody because of their outstanding communication, skill, and professionalism! Do what I did, reach out, get your quote (amend it if you need in order to fit your budget), get their suggestions for what to put for specific windows if needed, and admire the work that'll last forever in your home! read more

Ron came to my house to give me an estimate on installing new blinds on 5 windows and an oversized sliding door after I had gotten my windows replaced. Ron was on-time, friendly and knowledgeable, helping my make a decision on the type of blinds that would work for my place. He was able to get me a quote within a day and I decided to go ahead with the project. His son Brett contacted me when the blinds had come in and scheduled the install date/time. Brett and his helper showed up on time and were able to quickly take down the old window coverings and install the new. They were friendly, professional and clean. When they left I had my new blinds installed and really made the place look great. I highly recommend using Ron Allen and Son Window Coverings. They do great work and do what they say. Thanks Ron and Brett. read more

We needed basic window treatments for our home and they were competitively priced and prompt! Treatments fit perfectly. No complaints!

We really felt Ron Allen and sons did a great job with out blinds. They took the time to explain all our options and help us come to the right decisions for us and our space. While it did take awhile to get them in and install, it's worth the wait (I think it was about 3-4 weeks but I could be wrong in that). They are a small family company which I would rather give my business to. Their prices were competing and reasonable and they care about doing it right. When they installed the blinds they're noticed some errors in production (some small holes) and reordered and came back and installed without us even having to mention it. Quality is important to them. read more

I called this company based on their already existing five star review on yelp and they did not disappoint! This is the place to call for all types of shades and window covers. It is a family business. Ron allen the father came out to measure, the most likable guy ever. His son does the installations and they were exact and efficient. Great company and we love the results ! read more

I've purchased blinds from Ron Allen and Son many times for my primary and rental residences. Can't beat the quality, pricing and customer service. Obviously, I'm a repeat customer, but so are my friends that I referred to Ron Allen. That alone says a lot! read more

Price is great for the quality of shades. We have 23 windows, 4 of which we got motorized shades. We had 3 companies come and estimated. The price range is unbelievably far apart. We chose this company due to great customer service. I didn't feel like they were trying to sell me the most expensive shades. Shades took a little bit to come d/t pandemic. Communication was good. Good follow through with some parts that wasn't included in the the shipment. I would recommend this local/small business over the big ones.

Ron came out soon after my call to see what I was looking for to put on my windows. He gave suggestions, measured, and promptly sent me a price estimate -- which was HALF of the estimate given to me by the Home Depot contractor! Brett, Ron's son, came out to measure soon after I agreed to the estimate. He was friendly and professional, and kept in touch with me until the blinds were ready. He then worked with me on a schedule over the holidays, and adeptly hung my new blinds - he did a great job and my windows are looking good! read more

Ron & Brett Allen are THE BEST in the industry! They really look at each room, how the sun comes in through the windows, or the privacy needed and make recommendations as to what will be the best window covering for that room. Tons of choices in colors and designs. Both are extremely professional! We are thrilled with our selection! read more

We've worked with Ron and his son twice already- once in our previous home and now in our new home. Obviously I wouldn't work with them again unless I had a great experience the first time! Both times Ron was very communicative and friendly. Our shutters were installed with a quick turn around time both times and have held up well with no issues! We also had them install automatic rolling shades(I think that's what they are called) on our sliding glass door and it has been great with keeping out the heat/sun in the mornings! Cleaning the shutters are super easy because you can take the shutters off the hinge and clean them! Definitely recommend them for window coverings! read more
