He promised that the shades I would be getting would look exactly like the ones I have up. When BB installed them, I was appalled. There is a horrible string in the middle of them that I was never told would be there. It is cheap and looks horrible. I called them to see what we could do and they told me there is nothing. Then Aaron said that he told me the string would be there, which is not true. I would not work with Budget Blinds again. Cheyenne also stated that she would help me with this but did not.

Imagine they will come to your home with samples and were no pushy at all! No hard sell. Of course you are really interested and when the time comes you are surprised by the price. You probably like me have investigated. Jordan arrived with the biggest smile and unpacked outside. No added clutter or dust in your home. Off with his shoes, he was working. We couldn't help peeking occasionally and he was still amiable. Our questions were welcomed and easily answered. He even pointed out a small fold and said if it didn't resolve on its own to call and it would be fixed. Even though the initial demonstration had been wonderful, we were still wondering how the top or bottom could be closed. He was very patient in demonstrating. You find companies that you can recommend. But with this one....what are you waiting for? Dive in.

Quality Excellent Appeal Excellent…read more Service Excellent As a new coastal home-owner, we contacted Shade & Shutter Systems to learn more about what products were available to protect our home. Our call was returned immediately and Paul Craig, owner of the company, provided exceptional detail about the various products and their benefits / drawbacks. We scheduled a site visit; Paul showed up right on time with samples and guided us through the various applications. We selected the VueSafe product. Paul indicated a 2-week lead time... but as Hurricane Sandy approached Paul contacted us on Saturday morning to let us know they had accelerated production and an installer would be on-site that day. The installer, Ed, was prompt, courteous and diligent throughout the installation process. We couldn't be happier. The product is up and already we feel more secure. Many thanks to the entire Shade & Shutter System's team for exceptional customer service and rapid response during an emergency situation.

We selected the electric controlled roll shutter product. From our initial contact with Steve through frequent contact with the project foreman and wonderful installers, the project couldn't have gone better. The local showroom displays all the products to view, and the custom installation looks great. The shutters also seem to be excellent quality. Before the order was sent to the factory, the installers came out to review it to make sure of any special challenges or material that would be required. After installation, which they worked around our schedules, they were careful to explain proper use and maintenance as well. It is obvious that this company takes great pride in their business, and realize that customer service and recommendations mean everything. We are very pleased, and look forward to the shutter protection during storm season.

He came over with samples, made suggestions and we said Yes! We had new blinds and cornish done for our first floor and just Wow! What a total upgrade. Sure they are expensive but the finish on the cornish and blinds are outstanding! We also had him add room darkening shades in our bedroom and man, thdd ex quality of sleep is noticeable. We have six really big wide 6 foot windows and added the top cornish plus two 3 foot wide normal windows and the entire job came in close to $5 grand. But the finished product added at least twice that to the value of our home. I usually don't spend anything like this but bayside blinds added such a great look to our home. Dave was pretty chill and such a nice guy and would not take final payment until the job was 100% completed. Can't recommend him enough.

I have resisted posting a poor review like this for quite a while. In fact almost two years…read more Furthermore this is the only bad review I have ever felt the need to share publicly about any other contractor, business, etc generally choosing to keep said discussions internal and private with the business letting them fix things. At this point I've got nothing left. I originally chose Karl Ivester and New England Shutter Mills because of all their good reviews and positive experiences from other homeowners and businesses, but it has been anything but for my home. Sure if you'd like dozens of apologies for dropping the ball when Karl feels like getting around to you he will be happy apologize. However apologies only go so far when you're still waiting for product you paid for to be installed, and when the installation that has been completed was done poorly. In fact when Karl came to re-inspect original install he pointed out things I wasn't even upset about that he said were not to their standards. Well I don't know where the standards are for communication and getting things done, but they aren't there either. Like I said I have dozens of emails back and forth explaining many excuses as to why the job hasn't been completed, yet it is still not completed near 2 years later. Today was the latest example. After I spoke to Karl 3 weeks ago on Jan 18th he was supposed to follow up with email and show up on Jan 28th. You guessed it. No email, no show, but another apology for dropping the ball. His words. Also his words were to pick a new time for this Monday 2/4/19. After sending back a response you guessed it. No email, no text, no phone call, no show today. Very disappointed in the product quality; even more disappointed in the extreme lack of professionalism in making good when you know your work did not turn out as promised. Perhaps most discouraging is that as a business owner when you have an unhappy customer you should be the one reaching out trying to make it right by the customer. Instead in this scenario I am the one that has had to initiate contact at least 4 different times generally with large chunks of time passing in between to keep any lines of communication open in hope of rectifying the current incomplete job status. Also discouraging was that the installer knew the shutters weren't right from day one. I had been at home to let them in before work and in my process of getting ready came downstairs. You know when you enter a room and someone stops talking because they're discussing something they don't want you to hear? Yeah that was the installer talking with the owner Karl that morning. I should've known at that moment yet I waited to see how it would turn out, and this is why I am where I am with semi completed install of shutters that don't look right and if I take them out all my woodwork and trim has been damaged and will have to be fixed just to get back to where I was prior to install. I can send along photos of poor install and emails to anyone looking for elaboration. Also happy to update and / or remove this posting entirely if Karl and New England Shutter Mills can make good on their original contract and promise to qualify and customer service. Otherwise this is my only recourse at this point for a disheartening experience overall.
