Between issues with our general contractor, a creative installation behind a false wall, an incorrect order, an un-level ceiling, the factory shut down because of the pandemic, and, let’s be honest, my pickiness, my relationship with Billy and Carolyn at Clearwater Budget Blinds now spans well over a year. Despite re-orders, re-installation issues, and being a long-distance owner, they never lost their composure or willingness to satisfy me. My shutters look beautiful. My drapes are perfectly hemmed. These people will go above and beyond to get it right! I highly recommend them.

Smooth buying process! I did an entire house full of window treatments & am thrilled with the products selected! Billy and carolyn were absolutely a pleasure to deal with. They were extremely helpful with suggestions & even cautioned us about products that wouldn’t provide me with the coverage we wanted. They were also helpful with suggestions on products that would give us the “look” we wanted. I’d highly recommend Budget Blinds.

Carolyn and Billy were great with both their guidance and service. Bruce was excellent as well with the install and they made sure we were happy with the end result before asking for final payment. We were undecided between shades and plantation shutters and they took ample time with us to be sure we understood all that was involved and which selection would best suit our needs and enhance the beauty of our home.

It went well. Very happy with the results and the professionalism of everyone we came in contact with from Budget Blinds. We actually managed to have our blinds installed within a few hours of scheduling an appointment. Very thorough attention to detail on the part of Ken who did the installation. Would use them again.

Great!!  Carolyn came over, we discussed our options, choice our material.  She measured, then in approx. 2 - 3 week total it was delivered and installed by one her installers; forgot his name.  Carolyn's company has equipped our entire home with remote blinds & verticals.  Great Company - great staff.

Carolyn came out & went over all the options with me. She had sample fabrics swatches to help with the selection. She measured everything carefully & gave me a close estimate of when the blinds & drapes would be completed. The installer did an excellent job. He was so thorough, meticulous & conscientious--you would think he was installing them in his own home. Everything was perfect except for one of the roman shades that didn't drape correctly. Carolyn ordered a replacement, but they were in the midst of moving to a new office so when it came in, they failed to follow up on replacing it until I called after a couple of months to see what was going on with it. The installer brought it out the next day and apologized profusely for the oversight. Other than that, it was a very positive experience and I am very pleased with the results.

<p>We have had a very positive experience with our dealings with Budget Blinds of Clearwater. We're fortunate to be living by the Gulf and we never tire of the beautiful water views that surround us. We wanted to cover our two sliding doors in our dinette area. Unfortunately we have to deal with a lot of bright sunlight coming into our unit at various times of the day. We were looking for a solution to have the best of both worlds. Carolyn, from Budget Blinds came to our home with various samples of Solar Shades. We settled on a mesh material that does a great job of cutting down on the heat of the sun and at the same time we still have a very reasonable amount of our precious view. We opted for the Electric version of raising & lowering the shades with a touch of a button with a small remote control unit. We are able to stop them at any height we desire. If anyone is considering installing any Solar Shades we highly recommend going with the Electric Option. Our experience with Budget Blinds was so positive we decided to have them come back and do three other windows and we love them all. Carolyn was a pleasure to deal with as well as her entire staff. </p> <p>They are the BEST!</p> <br />

Chad the installer was unable to install plantation shutters as promised. Chad and assistant installed improperly after second visit. John the professional installer completely removed previous shutters and almost completed job. Sent 3rd assistant to finish caulking and window adjustment and I (homeowner) had to tell him to return frame to previous setting and set properly like other windows. I finally decided to finish the caulking and add my own sills that I had to pay for.
