Steven is super professional and friendly. I did some research beforehand and sort of know what I was looking for. Steven had an excellent catalogue for me to browse. I was able to find what I was looking for and interestingly was able to match the color (even a bit on the texture) between two types of blinds that I signed up with. As with all other business, the supply chain has been impacted by COVID. But blinds arrived within reasonable timeframe as originally discussed (i.e. within a week). Steven reached out when window treatments arrived and came in installed them without a glitch. One of the blinds I used often (mostly around breakfast time) and was in need of repair, Steven was very responsible and came in dealt with the issue very quickly. This is a trustworthy company, providing quality products while keeping you in budget. You can do your research. I am happy that I made the right choice for me.

Happy New Year! Ever since ShutterMark of San Mateo helped install my plantation shutters a few…read moremonths ago, I've genuinely felt happy every single day just opening and closing my windows at home. When we stepped into midnight at the start of 2026, I heard neighbors setting off fireworks, and I never imagined that opening the window to watch fireworks could be such a simple, one-second joy. Having plantation shutters at home is truly wonderful. If I could give ShutterMark of San Mateo 100 stars , I absolutely would. Before deciding on window treatments, I did extensive research. I learned that plantation shutters are easy to clean, help reduce noise, keep the house warmer in winter and cooler in summer, and even increase property value . That said, shutters are definitely a premium investment, so choosing the right company really matters. I was incredibly lucky to find Eli on Yelp. He was the very first person who came to my home to measure and provide a quote. Normally, I always compare multiple vendors--but this time, I decided to go with him immediately. WhyBecause Eli is not only the owner, but also the salesperson and the person who personally came to install the shutters once the materials arrived. That level of accountability is rare. By contrast, my experience last year with Lowe's was absolutely terrible. It really proved that "big companies are always better" is a myth. They often make the process far more complicated, their so-called lifetime warranties are mostly marketing gimmicks, and the prices are usually higher as well. Originally, I planned to install shutters on only three street-facing windows. But after seeing the quality and the pricing, I changed my mind and decided to do my entire home. The value was simply too good to pass up. Now, I think of Eli and his team twice every day-- once in the morning when I open the shutters, and once at night when I close them. I truly appreciate them for giving me a warmer, more comfortable home with natural light during the day. Living so close to the airport, I can no longer hear planes cutting through the night sky. Since last winter, I haven't needed to turn on the heater as often. I no longer wake up wearing an eye mask on weekends, and my sleep quality has improved dramatically. Thank you, ShutterMark. Wishing you an amazing and successful. 2026

Going into this, my wife and I thought the whole process would be stressful and time-consuming but they made it completely smooth and painless from start to finish. Leon was extremely attentive, responsive, and patient, taking the time to answer all of our questions without ever making us feel rushed. The team was efficient, professional, and showed up exactly when they said they would which, these days, is rare and greatly appreciated. They were also very mindful and respectful of our home throughout the entire installation process. What really stood out was not just the service, but the value. After getting multiple quotes, Window Station offered a more competitive price AND a better-quality product than the others. That combination is hard to beat. Overall, this was one of the best home improvement experiences we've had. Highly recommend Leon and the entire Window Station team you won't be disappointed!

Gary installed my window coverings…read more Unfortunately when I had to request a warranty repair, it was a complete s--- show. I think I averaged 4 attempts/follow ups spread across 1 month to contact Gary to every single response I received, half of which were just restating my problem and not actually addressing it. Also it took 4 visits (which meant over 20 attempts to get in touch) and over 1 year to actually get him to come to visit to do any warranty repairs, and when he finally did come, he was unable to deliver part of the warranty repairs that I reminded him about at each attempt to contact him. All he offered was "I'm sorry but I'm retiring soon." So sure, go ahead with Gary if you want blinds installed. Be prepared to wait, and wait ... And wait , then wait some more if you need any service on his installations.

It seems like you will have a positive experience with McWherter Window Coverings if all of the…read morefollowing criteria are met: 1) you reach Gary, the owner, on the first attempt at calling, 2) you are fine with months delay in receiving your blinds, and 3) there is no problem with your order whatsoever. When we met Gary a year ago to order an initial set of Hunter-Douglas blinds, he was great. He came out, did measurements, provided samples, and we placed an order. The problem came when one of the blinds arrived after our initial order. After he installed all the blinds from our initial order, he did not want to come out again to install the last one. I called him a few times without receiving a response. Finally, he E-mailed me a YouTube video for self-installation. I paid for full installation and it seemed like Gary did not want to come out to install just one extra blind. A year later, this year, we decided to order a few more blinds and wanted to give Gary another chance. The communication took multiple back-and-forth, mostly me having to follow up over E-mail or phone every couple of days to make sure that he was actually doing his job. Finally, after installation, I noticed two of the blinds had a 1" gap next to the window. I explained to Gary that these two blinds did not cover the windows completely. He agreed to not charge me for those two blinds, which I appreciated, but wished he had communicated the right sizes to me in the first place. After all that, we noticed more blinds retract and do not cover the window in its entirety on the bottom. Gary reassured me that his son, Tyler, can look at it. Tyler came out and had no idea this was a problem. He attempted to address the problem by calling Hunter-Douglas. Hunter-Douglas told him he needs to order weights for the blinds, which he said he would. However, after two weeks, I still have not heard anything. I E-mailed Gary. Did not get a response. I E-mailed Gary again. Got the response "I'll let you know." I was not confident that he will let me know without me having to constantly police him about the order. *Two months* later, he returned to my home with the weights that he supposedly ordered, and it turned out they were the wrong weights! Then of course he gave me the "I'll call you Monday to follow-up" and never did. I have spent thousands of dollars on new blinds from McWherter Window Coverings and they are defective without any resolution so far. I have had surgeries that were faster and easier than this. 1 star off: slow as molasses 1 star off: poor craftsmanship 1 star off: lack of communication 1 star off: lack of adequate follow-up Please read some of the filtered reviews for McWherter Window Coverings, which also mention similar problems above.
