Poorly. The Hunter Douglas shutters were warped. We had them replace two more times with no better results. The owner, Shannon, offered to have new shutters made from a different company but now she will no longer respond to phone calls so I don't know where I stand with that. They closed down their office near me in Brentwood CA. I wonder if they are going out of business.

Excellent. The designer , Scott was wonderful. I couldn't have been sent a better designer. He listened to our wants and needs and worked with us in selecting the best shades for the various rooms. Brian , the installer was just as good, and made sure to check every shade before he left. He even trained us and made sure we had the app available on our phones and iPads and the apps were working. Would use them again, and again. , if I had more homes or windows.

Great. Initially I was going to just get blinds cut at home depot and install it myself. Then I was too busy and decided I was going to hire Chris to install the blinds I got. However, he quoted me a price that was a bit more expensive than Home Depot, but it was custom cut blinds (so that the length also fit the windows) and the price was not by much more. It was definitely more competitive than the 4 other contractors I got quotes from. The only downside was I was told it would be about 2 weeks and it took 4 weeks for the blinds to come in. At the end of the day, it was a minor inconvenience for me. I still got a great price, and when the blinds did come in, Chris got one of his workers to come in on a weekend morning (the guy told me he was working OT) to accommodate my busy schedule. Once he unpacked all the blinds, it was extremely efficient and the installer was very professional. So, I really have no complaints. The blinds were beautiful and did fit perfectly as guaranteed. Chris originally came by to measure my windows at my request (I initially measured them and sent it to him for a quote) just to make sure. He was great and easy to work with. I would recommend giving Chris a call. I'm sure you will be happy with your experience. Thanks Chris!

Excellent service. Mark came prepared with samples of the type of shades I had in mind. He was able to quickly establish the product, color, and type of window covering that pleased me. He was professional, personable, competent and I felt that I was confidently given a very good deal.

Very impressed from start to finish. The salesperson, Mark Drennan was extremely professional, knowledgeable and helpful in assisting with our choice of shutters. He explained various options with enough detail that I was able to make an educated choice on the shutters and framing. We went with the Hunter Douglas Newstyle Hybrid shutter. The shutter arrived within the estimated time frame. On the day of the installation, Gary arrived on time to do the install. He was professional and knowledgeable with a great sense of detail. He did an outstanding job with the installation. The shutters are beautiful and we are extremely pleased!  <br>  <br>Thank you The Blind Guy, Mark and Gary - you all ROCK!! <br>

Wonderful experience from start to finish! I contacted The Blind Guy to get an estimate for new plantation shutters for my home. On 3/2/16, Mark Drennan arrived on time and was surprised to see I had existing shutters. I explained that I was not happy with how they looked and wanted to replace them. Mark was so friendly and knowledgeable and had shutter samples to show me. He explained very thoroughly to me what would work best and what would look best. I was happy with his estimate and moved forward with the purchase. I was so surprised to receive a call in less than 2 weeks that my order was ready to be installed. On 3/16/16 the installer Steve Valk arrived on time to remove my existing shutters and install the new shutters. He was very professional and with great care, removed the existing shutters. 3 hours later, Chris Kirby arrived (another installer) and explained he was there to assist Steve with the install as he had just finished his last job and was in the area and wanted to help out!! I have to say, the installation far exceeded my expectations and I couldn't have had 2 better guys doing the job!

<p>I am happy to report that the originally installed blinds on my rental property installed back in June, 2015 that did not allow for the 7 windows to open from the inside to be cleaned as designed has been replaced on Feb. 26, 2016 at no charge. And they look great. The service person (Steve) was professional, answered my questions and worked from 9:00am-2:00pm straight through. Although it took some time to eventually come to an agreement with the owner (Shannon  Cocagne) on how we should proceed finanically, I found Shannon in the end was reasonable and very nice and wanted to work with us to make this a good experience overall for us as her valued customer. In the end, we were able to get the blinds we wanted and the windows replaced at no additional cost. For this experience, I would recommend The Blind Guy to my family and friends. Thank you Shannon and the Blind Guy team!    </p>
