Don is great, and we've used him twice now. He's fast, knowledgeable, and responsive, and doesn't try to sell you more than you need. Bonus: His installer Jeff is lightning-fast! Any window coverings we need from here on out are coming from Slats. read more

Don was professional and easy to work with, even during the pandemic. My window treatments are beautiful and clean looking, while giving me much needed privacy. I couldn't be happier. Truly! Don't hesitate. read more

Slats blinds is always efficient, professional & delivers a quality product. I hire them every time I need blinds at my rental properties.

When I was shopping I got quotes from multiple vendors and Don's quotes was the best. I thought it is too good to be true! So I talked more with Don and he agreed to come onsite and show us some samples and and promisse to take care of us and he did. The quality was good, and installation was very professional and quick. It did take longer than anticipated to get all the blinds from the manufacturing, but given the COVID situation the wait was not too long. read more

Great customer service from initial appointment to installation. Covid protocols strictly followed. Friendly, efficient service. Will definitely contact again when my other window blinds need an update. read more

Our experience with Slats Blinds was a perfect 10. Don's 30-year track record in the business is a huge plus. He arrived for our first meeting exactly on time, made the selection process seamless and stress-free, answered all our questions, and offered several excellent suggestions. His installer had all our new window (and door) coverings in place in an eyeblink. We're beyond pleased with our spiffy new look. read more

Great overall service! Don was reliable and helpful when it came it scheduling, and helping me to decide on what was going to work best in our home. It was very nice, Slats took care of measuring and installing the new blinds which I love. Excellent for quality, efficiency and I highly recommend them ! I agree with the other reviews, friendly nice people and highly professional service. read more

The cleaned blinds look fine, but the price was not affordable. I could have bought all new blinds for cheaper. Get a precise quote beforehand. read more

I highly recommend Slats Blinds! The blinds that were installed in our home fit beautifully, are of high quality, and are just the look we were hoping for. Don came out, measured the windows, and helped us choose the appropriate style and color for the windows. Very easy and fast process. The blinds arrived within two weeks and were promptly installed. No stress, no worries, very helpful, and above all very professional and efficient. read more

We love our new honeycomb shades! Don was lovely to work with and has fair pricing. He also worked with us on multiple quotes to figure out how to stay within our budget. The shades are beautiful and installed perfectly. We'd call Don again in the future for any window covering needs. read more

The new window coverings are exceptional, and the way the stack when opened totally opens up our view to the outside area. Don was extremely accommodating during the SIP, and although he had received the coverings, he waited until the SIP had been relaxed and our contractor had completed his work before arranging installation when it was convenient for us. read more

I can't recommend Slats Blinds and Don enough! As a first time home buyer, I'm a newbie to blinds, but Don was super helpful and a very clear communicator. He was ready to jump on a facetime call and talk through the process and what I was looking for. Our blinds came in sooner than expected and were installed quickly and efficiently, especially during these covid times. A couple of items didn't ship with the rest of the blinds, but Don was on it and came back himself to install. We love the look of our blinds and feel they've really elevated the look of our home. read more

We highly recommend Don and Slats Blinds. Don was kind, patient, and professional. Our shades came in early and they were reasonably priced. They are great quality, with a wonderful warranty. Don handled everything efficiently and carefully during COVID as well. Thank you Don! read more

We found Don on the Hunter Douglass website and then checked his Yelp reviews. He did not disappoint. We needed blinds in three different rooms replaced, but we weren't sure if we'd be able to get the work done due to COVID restrictions. Don set up a FaceTime call with us for an initial consult and measurements. A week or so later he came by with his mask on to double check the measurements and provide samples. We placed the order and the install went well. Don was very professional and the whole process was easy and painless. Would definitely recommend. read more

From the time we called Don to the time of installation everything went well. Don was super knowledgeable very patient with our indecisiveness helped us choose something within our budget that we are very happy with, his installation guy whose name I'm forgetting was terrific did a great job, and could not have been nicer. Our house looks great very satisfied customer. read more

Don and team did our carpet cleaning for a move out of a rental. He was easy to work with and did an excellent job. They were able to remove the old stains from the carpet and it made it look better than the day we moved in. Great price, easy to book and a job well done. read more

We recently installed blinds in our home. Before selecting blinds Don gave us information on pros and cons of each type of blind. It helped us decide on what we want. He was very professional and accommodative. We needed it installed sooner than his expected time and he made arrangements to do so. I would recommend his services and expertise. read more

We hired Don to advise, quote and install custom blinds in our old victorian home (with a variety of window shapes and sizes!). He was punctual, authentic and honest about what he thought would work best - he obviously knows his stuff! His pricing was very competitive and the turn around time from initial quote request to final install was surprisingly quick, especially compared to competitors in our area that we reached out to as well. If you are looking for some blinds, definitely contact Don! read more

It was so nice to have them come right to our door and help us figure out window coverings for a newly-built in-law unit. They took care of measuring and installation as well. Very convenient service and we got just what we needed at a great price! read more

Wow! Who knew it could be so fast and easy to have blinds installed throughout the house? Don came out, explained the products, and I chose what I wanted while he measured every window. He even came back out right away when I realized I forgot to include a window. The blinds arrived sooner than estimated, and Jeff, who installed them, was such a pro. Done in less than an hour. The top-down, bottom-up HD blinds look terrific and now I'm not living in a fish bowl. Couldn't be happier! read more

Don and his installation team was excellent. He came right to the house with many samples and recommendations based on our home. The blinds for our glass doors and windows work well, and look amazing. read more

I needed to have soiled shades cleaned promptly. I called Don at Slats Blinds and he was able to pick up my blinds the same day and return them on the following day. This was very convenient for me. He made the process easier with prompt communication and updates. At one point, I thought I was being a bit of a pest because I had so many questions about keeping the blinds clean and free of mold. But Don answered all of my questions and helped me to better understand why I had a problem with mold. He was thorough in all of his explanations. I have definitely experienced in the past where home cleaning/maintenance professionals just want to get in and out. Often their answers can be short and superficial. Don was never that way, and made sure I got all of the answers I needed! Will use his services again if I have the need. Thanks you to Slats! read more

I got the blinds through Slats Blinds - and I am so so glad I decided to stick to Don. He is very clear in setting the expectations and his agenda. I like that he did not try to up sale anything. He had a few concerns about my space and I was glad he was addressing these with me. I have string opinion and I know what I want so I gave Don hard time but he resolved everything and now I LOVE LOVE my window treatments. They just beautiful. Thank you Don! read more

Don deDiego did a fabulous job cleaning our mini blinds. They were installed in 1994 and had never been professionally cleaned. He came one morning to pull them all, then returned in 2 days to hang all 53 blinds. They were sparkly clean, and I mean you could eat off of them! Don was very neat, professional, worked quickly and was respectful of our time and space. I highly recommend him. Thank you Don! read more

I called Slats Blinds in Alameda on Saturday, May 16, 2020 and left a voicemail message saying I wanted to replace two large, "black-out" window shades covering a sliding glass window/door. I guessed that I would not hear back for at least two or three or even seven days (especially due to the COVID-19 Shelter-in-Place Order). I was wrong. Don di Diego, Owner of Slats, called me within a couple of hours, which understandably stunned me. We met the following Tuesday morning at my request, both of us masked appropriately. There was urgency in that one of the shades covering the door was broken which was a safety hazard. Don is a professional in every way. He suggested a terrific solution for my new shades. He said delivery might be 3 to 4 weeks. There were installed this morning and fit perfectly. From order date to completion: 2 weeks, 2 days. Ya gotta love a guy who under-promises and over-delivers. If you do, Don is your guy. Thank you, Don and Slats Blinds of Alameda. read more

I contacted Don through Yelp and was able to schedule an appointment for him to stop by my work office and discuss our needs. When he arrived, he was prepared and ready to go with various samples and was able to talk to us about what would work in our space best. He was very knowledgable and listened to what we wanted to accomplish. He sent us the quote within a day, prices were reasonable, and once he received our deposit, he ordered the blinds and scheduled the install date. The installer that came was super quick, it only took him about an hour to install blinds for 3 large windows and 1 small window. Because the building my office is in is pretty old, the windows have different measurements from top to bottom and the installer made sure none of the blinds buckled as the width changed throughout the windows. I would definitely recommend working with Slats Blinds and they'll be the first place we call for any of our future needs. read more

Don at Slats Blinds was great! I needed our living room blinds replaced before our out of town guests would be sleeping in that room. I called the morning the old blinds broke and Don agreed to meet with me that afternoon. He explained all the options and listened to what was important to me (something that would be accessible to raise and lower with a large screen TV in front of it). He said it would be unlikely that the new blinds I ordered would be in before my guests arrived the following week. I liked that he didn't make any promises, but he said he'd do his best. He came over the very next morning and took the measurements and put in the order. I didn't hear from him for several days and I assumed that they wouldn't be ready for the Friday afternoon that my guests would arrive, but that very morning at 6:30 am, Don sent me an email saying the blinds were in and he could install them that very day!! I was so happy!! He came over and installed them super quick and they look AWESOME! A perfect fit and color, exactly what I wanted. AND just in the nick of time!! Thank you, Don!! read more

I hired Don to install blinds on every window in my house in Oakland in 2013. I was so impressed with the high level of personal customer service and attention to detail that I hired him again when we bought a new home in Orinda in 2016. He is the epitome of professional and customer-focused. He will listen to what you want and need and take into consideration your unique home and won't try to upsell you - he'll just bring in the samples that fit your needs and is an expert on all of the products he carries. When a cord broke on one of our Oakland blinds about 9 months after installation I called him and he had the whole 7' wide blind replaced within two weeks. And when our blinds arrived much earlier than he quoted for our Orinda home, he came that day to install them himself because his installer was booked and he knew we needed them to help our young children sleep (early bedtimes and long summer days make for a tough time getting babies and toddlers to sleep). I can't recommend him highly enough. read more
