TLDR: Future customers should be aware that if they are seeking multiple bids, conducting extensive…read moreresearch, or using modern tools to help evaluate design options, their experience may differ from what they expect from other vendors. During our consultation, I felt uncomfortable with how defensive the conversation became when we discussed obtaining multiple bids and comparing options. For a project of this size (34+ windows), I believe it's reasonable for homeowners to ask detailed questions, compare vendors, and carefully evaluate products, pricing, and installation approaches before making a decision. Rather than helping us understand the differences between available options, the conversation felt increasingly tense and dismissive, particularly when discussing our use of AI generated visuals to help refine the design direction we are trying to achieve. After scheduling a consultation, Gina later that same day decided not to take on the project, which is certainly her prerogative, and I appreciate that she communicated that before any work began. That said, the experience left me with the impression that questions, comparison shopping, and our personal decision making process were viewed negatively rather than as a normal part of a significant home investment. Future customers should be aware that if they are seeking multiple bids, conducting extensive research, or using modern tools to help evaluate design options, their experience may differ from what they expect from other vendors.

We purchased a new construction home in SJC and needed just a few blackout window coverings to help our toddlers sleep through the night (I.e. so we can sleep through the night :) Ed was prompt for the appointment and walked my wife through all the options. He also let us know what materials and style were the best values and where we could save and still have the best quality. We didn't ever get the high pressure BS that you tend to get with other home decor people. On top of that, they under promise and over deliver. He said that it could take up to 4-6 weeks for one certain shade to arrive, but they had it ready in 2 weeks and it was installed that same week. The installer, Mike, was also very professional and on time and made the install process very easy. He was great. Bottom line, we now have our go to when we need any window coverings in the future.

He did a great job in explaining different choices for different areas in the house and took into consideration my dog who jumps at the patio sliding door. When he was done I pretty much had my mind made up on vinyl blinds on the kitchen window and patio door. With shutters in the rest of the rooms. He came back to take measurements and explain different choices on the shutters. There were a few things that I had to ponder about and Eric gave me his opinions/suggestions. It took about four months for the shutters to be ready (made overseas). I thought it was a long time but it seems to be the norm these days. I could have paid an extra $300 to have it done in a month but decided I wasn't in a hurry. The installers Johnny and Luis were super efficient and very nice. They did a great job with installation. They couldn't install the shutters on one of windows and told me Eric would be in touch. First thing the next morning I received an email from Eric apologizing saying he had made an error and he would have the shutters redone. He paid to have the shutters done in the shorter time (four weeks). Johnny and Luis came back yesterday and installed the last shutter. It took them 15 minutes. The first company I dealt with left me with more questions than answers when their rep finished his pitch. Eric on the other hand did such a good job in explaining everything I had very few questions. The shutters and blinds look great. Highly recommend.

I had a great experience with A Blinds, and I'm very happy that I found them before deciding to…read moremeasure and install blinds myself from Home Depot. Before finding A Blinds, I had already become frustrated with a blind consultant from Costco. The consultant kept emphasizing how expensive their products were without really explaining the materials, quality, or what made them worth the price. At that point, I was seriously considering doing the whole project myself. Then I came across A Blinds and decided to give them a try. Josh, the owner, personally came to our home. From the beginning, I could tell that he approached the project very differently. He talked about the philosophy behind choosing blinds and curtains--not simply as window coverings, but as something that can change the overall look, feel, and even the perceived value of a home. He explained that every home has colors and styles that work particularly well together, although many people don't realize how much of a difference those details can make. What impressed me most was that Josh didn't just recommend products based on what we initially asked for. He took the time to understand our home and personally recommended a curtain color that I never would have thought of myself. He also brought a variety of heavy blind samples with him, which made it much easier for us to see and feel the actual materials and quality rather than trying to choose based only on images or samples displayed on a tablet. His recommendation turned out beautifully. The price was also very reasonable, especially considering the quality and level of service. The blind materials feel truly upscale, and I was impressed to learn that he has his own factory where products can be customized to the customer's needs and all of the specialized materials are shipped directly from South Korea, which adds to the quality and uniqueness of the products. I honestly didn't realize how much experience and professionalism went into this until I worked with Josh. With more than 30 years of experience, he clearly knows his business and takes pride in what he does. I'm really glad I didn't end up doing this project myself. The finished result looks very great, and the entire experience was much better than I expected. I've already recommended A Blinds to my neighbors and friends, and I'm happy to share my experience here as well. If you're considering blinds or curtains, I definitely recommend giving Josh and A Blinds a chance before making your decision.
