We had a fantastic experience with Bernard and Royal Window Coverings. The entire process was seamless--starting with the initial consultation, where he really took the time to understand my style, to the final installation, which was efficient and professional. We put Norman window shutters throughout the house and 11 years in they are still in excellent condition. We also installed a Hunter Douglas motorized window shade for our living room skylight and a Hunter Douglas fabric shade for our kitchen window. Everything really elevated our home. Bernard is working with us now to find some options for our sliding glass doors. What really stands out is Bernard's customer service--responsive, knowledgeable, and genuinely caring about getting everything just right. We couldn't be happier and would highly recommend Royal Window Coverings to anyone looking for beautiful, high-quality window treatments. read more

Royal Window Coverings is fantastic! We have used them to do several window treatments. We have blackout drapes in the bedroom w/ the cornice boxes - all cut to custom bay window measurements, etc, with nightstand drapes. And upstairs they installed some 'honeycomb' type blackout shades underneath the pull-down fabric shades for extra darkness. And they also did an outdoor blackout shade to block the intense afternoon sun that has faded our hardwood floors upstairs. All are fantastic! They are very professional to communicate with and set up onsite with - always dependable when they say they will be there and are pleasant and polite throughout the process. Our window treatment go-to! read more

We've been working with Royal Window Coverings for a dozen years, including the full outfitting of our renovated home with blinds of various makes and models, and all subsequent repairs. They are always reasonable in their estimates, on-time (or even early) in fulfillment and extremely customer-focused. We recently brought in blinds to be repaired (just simple wear and tear), but we needed them back in a relatively short turnaround. Although completed in our deadline, the repairs were not to Bernard's (the Royal Windows Coverings owner) satisfaction (on our behalf), so even though they were usable, he refused to take our payment. That again earned our thanks and our loyalty. There are a lot of blind companies in San Diego. Royal Windows is the only one we'll use. read more

Royal window coverings team is a great and very professional. Four years ago they did an above par job in spending 15 minutes in figuring out what to do for my new home and giving me a free quote. After my family and I came to their place and selected our blinds they did an excellent job in fixing it. Four years later when my 2 year old son broke a blind fixture, I went to their office with fixing it. Three weeks after they ordered the part they came to my home and fixed it for free in fact they even gave me an extra supply of the blind fixtures. Excellent customer service by both Denise and Bernard. They are a fine team. Would recommend them to all my friends and loved ones, because they are very reliable, professional and have great customer service. Thank you so much Royal Window Coverings !!!!!! read more

What a refreshing way to do business. The representative came in, measured the windows, gave us a a recommendation on what product and size we should use. He was in and out in 15 minutes. 2 weeks later, the installers showed up with our blinds that fit like a glove in the window frames, they installed them added the safety clips, and cleaned up after themselves. Great quality product at a great price. Refreshing to see someone that knows their business as well as Bernard. read more

Royal Window Coverings - Shades & Blinds Near Me

Quality window blinds with a professional, convenient, and reasonable local company. So much nicer to work with than large national window blind companies. Bernard and Denise communicated well, worked with our schedule and have a ton of experience and knowledge about window coverings. They were very flexible, convenient, and efficient. We love our new roll up blinds and our new honeycomb blinds. They had good advice for what would work with our home that has nice window views outside, but also considered our cats and kids when recommending which product would maximize our view but be sturdy enough for our household! We are happy with the price, product, and service, and will use them when we need to replace any other window coverings. read more

We had a problem with our mechanical blinds. Bernard El Dib, the owner came out at the time promised. He took a look at the problem and was able to correct it very quickly. He was very efficient and a very pleasant man. I can very strongly recommend him and his company without reservation. Bill Renert read more

We've had Denise and Jordan come several times and we enjoy doing business with Royal because they have a top quality product for a fair price, but these ladies take it over the top with their professionalism, personal service, and expertise. read more

Terrible! They told me on the telephone that they could fix my Levelour blind, that it would take a few days, and cost $40. It turned out that they were incapable of fixing it (just a broken string), the repair guy actually removed the string, and they called me and said that they could not fix it, but would sell me a new one for $175. That is called "bait and switch." Keep away from these guys. I got the blind fixed at another company in about 1 hour. Total bill was $26.08. read more

Did good work but the service is extremely slow and they have TERRIBLE (nearly non-existent) communication. Michelle (their receptionist I guess?) is either super forgetful or doesn't care. You'll get the "we'll call you back" lip service and they never will. Happened about 4 times. I just wanted to know what was going on and to get a time estimate. We were anxious to get this done before the holidays. They picked up my broken louver on November 29th. 22 days later, they finally came back to install the two louvers. I was beginning to wonder if I just had my louver stolen and they weren't even a real company. They charged me $75 to order/install 2 louvers--took them 10 minutes to install. Seems a little steep to me. If you really don't want to do it yourself, and you tried a few other companies, maybe try SDBD, but definitely make it a last resort. It was a very frustrating experience. read more

I have worked with Bernard for well over 10 years and he has incredible taste and considers your every wish and is enormously helpful with his suggestions. I had some custom draperies done in a former home many years ago and loved them so much, I had him redo the drapes when I relocated. I moved again last year, and the drapes which I have had over 10 years are still in wonderful condition and he once again worked his magic!!! I live in a mid-century modern house with incredible glass windows which had some solar shades to begin with but not enough to cut off the heat. I had originally thought I needed to replace them completely but Bernard stopped me cold in my tracks and said they were expensive shades and still in great condition so we added some blackouts as well. Due to the double shades, neither of us liked the way the rollers sat on each other so he came up with the idea of a valance thinking he could do something very inexpensively to match the wood. It didn't turn out that way and although he did this at his own expense, we ended up with a valance in the same material as the shades.....looks incredible and his associate Luis, did the installation. Luis was professional, very warm and he was in and out lickity split!!! He also installed some retractable shades for a greenhouse area of the kitchen on remote and its incredible being able to open these with a push of a button!!! I would highly recommend Bernard and his talented team and trust him to not oversell you!!! Thank you so much and hopefully I have found my forever home but you know I will contact you again if I ever have the need!!!! read more

Came out and fixed my blinds. Very professional and reasonably priced. Overall was very happy with the service.

I had Bernard install remote control shades in my condo in Hillcrest and he did an excellent job. He was very flexible in arranging his schedule to visit with very short notice. He recommended something completely different than I had originally thought I wanted and they turned out beautiful. The product came in later than expected but he was up front that it might take longer and kept me informed - how refreshing! I'm now using him on two more condos we have as rentals. Bernard and his team are awesome! read more

I had Royal Window Coverings come to my house to install curtains. They were very professional and made all the adjustments that I requested quickly and easily. I really appreciate great customer service, and these guys were excellent. I would recommend this company. read more

Love this!! Love these people!!! Denice, she is the best!!!! I will def be back real soon!

I am over the moon with the beautiful drapes I just received from San Diego Blinds & Draperies! I had used another company to have patio drapes made for my bedroom. It took over a year for them to be repaired, (long story). Then I was referred to SDB&D. Best referral I have ever received. Bruce came over to measure the other window I had in my bedroom, he was very professional. Within 2 days I received a quote from Michelle. The next day the owner came over, took pictures re-measured and answered all my questions. He was able to get the same fabric that was used on my patio drapes, and the price was very reasonable including installation. The installation was seamless, measurements were correct, the drapes look like a million dollars. I am VERY happy to say the least. I will be using SDB&D again. Maybe a matching bedspread? I still have a few windows that will need covering and I know who I will be calling! read more

I was surprised to hear that Bernard at San Diego Blinds & Draperies repaired blinds (day/night blinds) for RV's. What a find, as repairs are normally done by RV shops (more expensive) who will not remove your blinds. Bernard provide excellent service, not only did he drive to my home and removed my blinds, but he returned in 2 days and installed them. I did not receive any bad service as mentioned by other reviewers from the receptionist or Bernard. I can only vouch for the service I rec'd which was very upfront and professional. read more

I review allot on Trip Advisor but rarely on Yelp. This guy is awesome. The service I received was incredible. My house's blinds are all Hunter Douglas and the master bedroom shade is a top/down/bottom up shade etc.. Been used maybe 20 times in the past Six years. The shade was in a locked open position that allows the light to be my wake up call at 6:00 am for sunrise, not my wake up time. I called Hunter Douglas who referred me to two shops for service. One never returned my call and the other SD. Blinds. When I called in I spoke with Bernard. He instructed me on how to take the could the shade down and as I explained it was an urgent fix effecting my sleep! He invited me to bring it in and said he would see if could rush repair it. I brought it in and he explained Michelle would call Hunter Douglas regarding the warranty. He called me back 2 hours later and had repaired the blinds! TWO FREAKING HOURS LATER! When I went back he explained how to install the shade as this is an area I'm not the best at. He went through it several times with me. I went home installed it without an issue. Truly exceptional service. I endorse and highly recommend Bernard and his company. Thank You for exceeding my expectations in every way. read more

I went in there looking for clips to connect a valence to a vertical blind over a sliding glass door. If you've ever needed blind parts you would know that Home Depot has VERY little in the way of hardware. Royal Window Coverings is a custom shop with a beautiful showroom. They don't sell parts/retail. BUT Bernard went in the back and gave me the clips I needed for free! Thanks! read more

I recently purchased a home that had HunterDouglas blinds, and when I noticed that the pull string on one of them was broken, I called the manufacturer and they referred me to this local shop for repairs. I literally showed up with no appointment, blinds in hand, and it was repaired within hours. Great! read more

I wish that I could give Bernard and his crew 10 stars instead of 5. I've been using his company for over ten years in two different houses. They have done absolutely every single window treatment in both houses. It says a lot that I've never even wanted to use anyone else. They are kind, courteous, pay attention to detail and always show up on time. It's hard to believe that there is even one negative review on here. They are my favorite vendor to work with because they always call to confirm when they are coming, show up on time AND do great work. Can't recommend enough! read more

One of our Hunter Douglas Duette shades had the material split in two places near the center of it, which made it unusable. Since I have worked with Royal over the past few years to effect repairs on other shades that did not raise or lower properly, I contacted them about this problem. I texted them a picture of the damaged shade along with a photo of the manufacturing stickers & asked about repairs. Royal said they would contact Hunter Douglas & to determine whether repairs were possible. Royal contacted me back a couple of days later to let me know that Hunter Douglas was going to make a new shade to the same specifications as the original. Although we paid for the new shade, due to efforts on Royals part, we saved a significant sum over the retail. I highly recommend Royal a window Coverings for your window treatment needs. I believe Royal went above & beyond to help us resolve our problem. read more

Royal's service and professionalism is top rate. Not only did we experience a consultation, purchase and install (and we love the blinds), but months after doing biz with them, we needed some simple parts for an older set of blinds - they ordered and shipped the items to us for free and they arrived in a few days. They simply did us a favor and that is a rare thing these days. Highly recommend Royal. PS - Denise is awesome! read more

Great customer service and always so friendly to work with. Won't go anywhere else in the future. Thanks again for your help adding room darkening shades for my girls rooms we really appreciate your help! read more

We have a ton of blinds in our house and one came apart at the base. We found these guys from the manufacture. Bernard greeted and helped me right away. He quickly identified the problem and said they could take care of it for a very reasonable price. I got a call back the next day and picked it up a couple of days later. It looks perfect and it was very reasonable. Again Bernard was pleasant to deal with and came through as promised! I will gladly bring my business back to these guys!! read more

Brought Broken Blinds To Royal Covering, and they quoted me a time frame of about a week to fix my blinds. They called me about a day later. My blinds were ready for pick up. So much faster than I expected. Thanks Royal Coverings for the fast service, and great customer service too. :-) read more
