Can't say enough positive things about Jim (the owner) and his company Van Go Blinds. He's kind, professional, friendly, and very knowledgeable. He helped my husband and me pick out the right window shades and blinds for our new home. The installation was so fast and we couldn't be happier with the look and feel of our home now. I highly recommend Jim at Van Go Blinds to my family, friends, and strangers! read more

Jim did a fantastic job on our blinds! He went above and beyond to ensure we received our blinds in time for our housewarming (which was very short notice). The pricing was very affordable and his professionalism was outstanding. I highly recommend using Vango for quality blinds and great service! read more

Van Go Blinds - Orange County - Shades & Blinds Near Me

I'm so thankful for the excellent quality of products and service from Mr. Jim Hettinga of Van Go Blinds Orange County. His extensive expertise in his profession, attention to detail, and wonderful personality afforded me the opportunity to redecorate my entire home. I have extra, extra, extra large glass doors in two rooms and expected to spend a fortune. Mr. Hettinga recommended the highest quality products, ordered, and installed all of the rooms of my home with skilled, lightening speed. By using the blinds Mr. Hettinga recommended, I didn't loose any light in the rooms with the extra large glass doors! I had been looking into plantation shutters and had I worked with another business I'm sure I would have ordered the wrong product for my doors and lost half the light! Working with Mr. Hettinga was truly an enjoyable (and quite affordable) experience! read more

This was my first time ordering shades and Jim at Van Go Blinds blew me away. He is efficient and professional and was more affordable than other bigger companies I looked into. We are so happy with the outcome and will surely use Jim whenever we put more shades/blinds up. read more

Received a postcard for Vango at my new house and called about getting two large roller shades. My husband and I do not agree on window covering styles, so I asked Jim if he had anything in a roller shade that looked less commercial and "plain" to appease my husband, but still in a large enough roller for what I needed to cover. I had ordered other roller shades online for our last home, but it was tricky to determine the best style with very small samples. Jim came out and narrowed the list of potential options down quickly and easily. He showed me photos of jobs he had done before, and made some suggestions based on what color flooring I was going to get and what would make my husband and I both happy. He held samples up to the windows and told me what color he thought would show through with sun behind, while still giving me the privacy I wanted. We got it narrowed down to one style and two colors, and both Jim and my husband voted for the darker, which I was against. BUT....I was wrong, and they were both right. The rollers we got could not be more perfect. As he said, they are a great match for our flooring, and the texture really helps to make it look less stark and "boring." As an added bonus, Jim is so friendly and the ordering and installation are super fast. Very very pleased with the whole process, and love our new shades. read more

Wow! Jim is absolutely a wonderful person to do business with! I have had a dozen jobs of window coverings thru Vango, and each time I am pleased with Jim's products and attention to detail. Highly recommend Jim for any type of window coverings!! read more

I don't know why Jim doesn't have many reviews yet, in fact I was actually wary of using him because of that fact. However I'm glad we did because his price was half what Home Depot quoted (and they couldn't even get the fabric we liked long enough besides). He came out the day after we called him (on a Saturday) and returned to install the blinds the following Friday. They went up in a snap and fit perfectly. The whole process was effortless, and he didn't even require a deposit (which helped me overcome my fears because I've read other reviews about scammers that collect a deposit and never return). read more

Jim is amazing! He helped me pick some beautiful woven blinds for our bedrooms. They were installed yesterday and all look so great! Top quality and Jim is super friendly and easy to work with. Great prices too! read more

Jim installed shades on small windows, large sliders and a skylight. The motorized skylight keeps out the morning light on days that I can sleep in. It is set on my iPhone app to open and close remotely or at certain times. The black out is great. He knows what he sells because he installs! read more

Jim is awesome and did a great job on our house. He's friendly, funny and we had an overall great experience from start to finish. After getting a few quotes elsewhere first, we knew right away Van Go was the right choice for us as soon as we met him. We couldn't be happier with how it turned out and will highly recommend him to all of our friends and family. read more

Received a flyer in the mail along with many others when we bought our new home. Dan, the owner came out to do a free estimate and measured all our windows. It is a family ran company that has been around for years. He is extremely personable and prices seemed fair. By far the best that we had received. Decided to go with him and a week later, today, had them installed. They look wonderful. Make the world of difference. Quality work and it was done so quickly. Would highly recommend using them for your window needs. read more

Very happy with our roller shades. Jim was great to work with in selecting the style and materials, measuring, and explaining our options.

Was less than 2 weeks from consultation to installation, and the price was competitive. read more

Jim has done excellent job today 09/23/19 for our home in Redondo Beach area. We loved his suggestion of using Solar blinds for our living area windows and honey combs for Master bed room.

Jim and Jack are amazing. I love my shutters!!! Thank you so much. I did get several quotes and with Jim quality in wood, no one could bet his price! Jim made me feel very very Comfortable. He never pressured me when I told him I would think about it. He was super honest and kept me updated at all times.

We used Van Go Blinds on several occasions. Each and every time Jim showed up on time for the bid. He gave us solid information in a very professional way. After contracting with him, the job was done timely every time. He always did what he had said he would do. The quality of the products have been superb. We highly recommend Van Go Blinds without hesitation. read more

Jim was wonderful from the first moment I called him. He came to measure my windows and provide a quote, and never pressured me to make a decision right away. Once I decided to go with Jim he was able to make the order and come back for installation within a few days. I was so impressed with his speed and quality - he put up window treatments for 3 windows in less than 30 minutes. He was incredibly respectful (leaving his shoes outside, etc.) and always gave his honest opinion even if that meant we went with window treatments outside of his company. Great guy with great service :). 10/10 would recommend Jim and Van Go Blinds! read more

Exceptional job from start to finish. Jim came to our home took a look at our needs provided us a quote onsite which no one could beat and installed in no time. We needed window treatment for the entire house including doors; Jim was very helpful with providing guidance and we are very happy with the finished product. If you are looking for quality and professionalism from start to finish look no further. Thanks for your help Jim! read more

I can't say enough great things about Van Go Blinds! Jim was wonderful to work with and was very knowledgeable and most importantly dependable. He has done Blinds and shades for two of our houses now and both times have been such great experiences! It's such a relief to work with someone who calls when they say they are going to call and shows up when they say they are going to show up! I find that a VERY rare thing these days!! He went above and beyond to accommodate us. I couldn't recommend Jim and Van Go Blinds more! Oh yeah, the our blinds and shades are awesome!! read more

This one! Go with Jim for your blinds. From start to finish, he was professional, honest, and easy to communicate with. We ordered Roman shades and plantation shutters for our home. Price was fair. We got three quotes and his was in the middle. We went with him because he did his own measurements and installation, not some contracted third party. It took about two weeks from when he took the measurements to the finished installation. Installation was quick and accurate. He knows his way around the windows. He also went out of his way to install a 14-foot-wide drapery rod for us, free of charge. Don't go with anyone else but Jim!! read more

Jim was absolutely amazing!!! He did such a great job and was so fast and easy to work with. We love our blinds and shutters!!! Could not recommend him more!! read more

Jim was super friendly and i will be recommending all my friends and family to use Van go blinds! read more

Called Vango blinds to fit some of our windows with wood blinds in our new house. We were so happy with the look and the work, we recently called Jim back to do the rest of the windows! Great quality blinds, fast installation, and Jim is very personable and professional. I would definitely recommend!!! read more

Jim was absolutely AMAZING! From the very beginning, he conducted himself like the true professional that he is. He responded to our phone call immediately, followed by granting us an immediate appointment to meet our schedule. He arrived on time, just as he indicated he would. We shared our wants and discussed options, never once feeling pressured and always comfortable. Once it was time for the installation, he continued to impress us...arriving on time, working diligently and in a very tidy manner to complete the task. We would HIGHLY recommend Mr. Jim Hettinga, without any reservations...honestly! read more

Jim is the best in the industry. After a frustrating meeting with a different very popular blind company, Jim came in and saved me. He listened to my design requests and suggested several options. He also knew his products so my time was not wasted on looking at samples I was not interested in or couldn't afford. The best part was my order came in a week earlier than expected so I had my window coverings in about a week after ordering them. In the end he helped me choose stylish, beautiful shades that completed the look of our new home. My only complaint is that I don't have more windows to order more from him! Jim's expertise and knowledge allowed me to order with confidence and I was overjoyed with the result. read more

Look no further for window treatments! Wonderful selection and AMAZING customer service with Jim and his team ! As an interior designer I have used many resources and Jim has been the best by far ! Look forward to using him on many more projects to come ! read more

Trust all the other reviews. Trust Jim. Jim is timely in his appointments, always responsive, professional, pleasant, has great input, and great products. We couldn't have been happier with our experience. We needed 7 new custom blinds, called him on a Thursday, he came and gave us an estimate on Friday, and we had custom blinds installed the following Tuesday. Badah bing, baddah boom. read more

This is a long overdue review from 2019 but my experience was excellent so I still want to leave this review. My living room has a very wide window so I needed a custom blind or do some combination of multiple blinds with one valence. Also I was hesitant to do my own measurements and order online. Van Go Blinds gave excellent advice and said the one wide blind with single valence would be a cleaner look and work well. I got blinds for three other windows, too. Took less than two weeks from initial order and installation was quick too. Also got advice to keep my existing curtains and keep them on the side to help frame the blinds. Looks great and appreciate the decorating tip! I had this on my to-do list for years and Van Go made it easy. read more

Very happy with our new blinds! Jim is the owner and worked us through the whole process from start to finish. I specifically love supporting small businesses and I am so glad we chose this one. He is very communicative and extremely helpful. Also, his price was fair and he could get them done within 2 weeks. Highly recommend him to anyone wanting any kind of window treatment! read more

Very professional and made great advices for my slide blinds. Love their work and service. Happy to have reliable people worked for my windows! read more

My husband and I just moved into our home and needed custom blinds because it is an older house, we have some "bay" windows. We called a couple of places then saw a postcard in the mail from Vango. Jim came out, measured and gave us a great quote. He came back and installed fast. This is actually our 2nd time using Vango, as we called Jim back for our patio room. He is professional, fair and does quality work. When friends stop by, they always ask about our blinds! Very satisfied. read more

Once again we made the right decision to be "repeat customers"... We used Jim in 2012 when we needed window treatments in our home. Very pleased then and SUPER pleased now. We did a major remodel which included new several new windows. Jim's guidance and ideas were perfect. We even added window treatments where we never had them before (2 larger slider doors and 2 windows that are impacted by lots of direct sunlight). What a difference! His professionalism, quick turn around, and expertise is amazing. Highly recommend this trustworthy and hard working man. Was also pleased to meet his son! A great team! Thank you Jim for adding the beautiful touches to our home! read more

I had several different people come to give me estimates. Jim was the lowest cost and he also had the fastest timeline for the install. On top of that, he was able to put blinds on a 100 inch window and no other company that came over said they could do that... they all said they needed to split the blind into two blinds because the window was just too big. And to top it off, he had a lot more color options to choose from than the other people. He made decision making very easy for me and I am extremely happy with the results. I highly recommend him. read more

I've been using Smith+Noble until I met Jim from Vango. He offered the same with faster & better service, same quality. Most important, he's a great guy & I trust him!!! read more

Jim surely knows what he is doing! If I could give him 100 stars I would. In our first meeting he was punctual, pleasant and extremely helpful. I had no idea of designs and materials, but Jim guided me through it all and the end result was just what I wanted. We were also in a time crunch and Jim was able to prepare everything on time. The materials, designs and installation are top notch. We are extremely happy with our blinds and will be calling Jim again to do the rest of the house. Thank you Jim for being a great professional and all-around good person. read more

Jim's company came highly recommended to us and he didn't disappoint. He communicated with us extremely well. He measured and gave us the most competitive bid on our shutters in a very professional manner. And to top it off, he had our shutters delivered to us and installed in a timely manner. What a concept. It's so good to see there are still people with strong morals and take such pride in their work. Thank you, Jim. read more
