"We unfortunately had a horrible experience with Empire Today Philly. From our first appointment the sales associate, Nizar Alwarasneh, could not answer any questions about how the hardwood floors were finished or how the installation process would work. He was more interested in giving me a big show of on how he could get me such a "great" price than listening to me. Because of this, he assured me the hardwood could be installed on concrete slab. It cannot but he either did not know or did not listen to the question. Our installers showed up a week later and knew immediately it was not possible to install in our house. After 4 calls and hours on the phone with Customer Service, I was assured a manager, Edwin Maldonado, would call me within 24 hours to assign me a new sales associate and to help correct the mistake. When I had not heard from him 24 hours later, I called Customer Service again only to learn that Nizar is the only sales associate in my region and that Edwin would likely take 3 days to get back to me. Within the next 3 days I called Edwin 4 times and left 2 voicemails. I still have never heard back from him. I called Customer Service again and they again assured me a new manager, Michael Onorato, would call back within 24 hours. I have never heard from him either despite calling and leaving voicemails. Against my better judgement, I had a second appointment with Nizar. It was clear to me immediately that he did not tolerate being questioned at all. I don't know if it was embarrassment over his mistake or what but he was incredibly rude. He loudly yelled at me, saying I should respect him because he is older than I am when I asked him to explain how he was coming up with the pricing, which was completely arbitrary. He also could not explain the difference between engineered hardwood and solid hardwood - he called a manager, Shawn Wilkinson, to help. By the end of the call, Shawn was supposed to call me back within 24 hours. I never received a call. When we finally decided to cancel, Customer Service told me they would submit the request and one of the managers (Edwin, Shawn, or Michael) would call in 1-3 business days to talk through options. I had zero confidence I would hear back so thankfully Customer Service expedited my cancellation. I should receive a refund within 3-5 business days... Subsequently have spoken to other Empire Today Philly customers who reiterated a similar experience, particularly the sleazy car sales person approach to the initial sales associate assessment. Absolutely would not recommend and will posting this review through multiple outlets."

Service the Salem Oregon local area, design and make custom drapes

"Some of the worst service and product I have ever received. Drapes did not fit the windows after the roomsbeautiful "specialists" did their measurements. Drapes arrived crumpled into a small box- which require professional steaming and ironing to straighten. Even so, they tell me if can do it myself, and the drapes looks even worse after ironing. The lining that THEY selected for me looks like reflective trash bags up in my windo from outside. I also expressed concern that I should only get one window treated first as a test, before committing to all 5- and the roomsbeautiful agent persuaded me to just do all 5. So I spend 2000 on these Drapes, which I will never in a thousand years put up in my home. And they won't accept refunds, and they only take zelle payments which cannot be reversed or argued. So WARNING: do not trust this company, and do NOT give them your money!!!"

FAQs for blinds or shades repair projects in Reading, PA

If you're wondering whether repairing your blinds is worth it, consider the quality and age of your blinds. For high-end or custom blinds, repairing them can preserve their quality, functionality, and design, making repair a smart choice. Immediate repairs maintain the original look and performance. However, if your blinds are over six years old, extensively damaged, or of lower quality, replacing them might be more cost-effective, as new blinds offer better efficiency and modern technology. Weigh the repair costs against the benefits of replacement to make the best decision for your situation.

When damage undermines the integrity and appearance of your blinds, replacement becomes the clear option. You should replace your blinds when damage to slats or fabric prevents you from obtaining an exact match, thereby compromising appearance and function. Severe damage increases repair complexity and expense. Replacing blinds not only restores superior performance but also creates an opportunity for aesthetic upgrades and lasting benefits.

You should plan to replace your blinds at least every 10 years, with clear signs of wear, such as discoloration, deterioration, or functional issues, emerging by five years. Regular evaluation of style, quality, and performance supports an informed decision. While minor repairs may temporarily extend usability, a complete replacement secures optimal operation and updated design.

Establish a regular maintenance routine to keep your blinds looking and functioning their best. Clean them regularly with mild, specialized products and follow the manufacturer's recommended usage guidelines. UV-blocking window film can protect against fading and warping from sun exposure. Regular inspections and proactive maintenance will preserve their appearance and performance, extending their overall lifespan.

If you pull the blind string and it does not move, it indicates a malfunction in the mechanism, such as a broken cord, a jammed cord lock, or a stuck component. Inspect the string for breaks and examine the headrail for any obstructions. Replace the defective cord or cord lock as necessary to restore proper operation and maintain functionality.

Yes, you can replace your blind string yourself by using a replacement kit available at home improvement stores. Accurate measurement of the string diameter is essential for a perfect fit. Gather the necessary tools and follow the manufacturer’s instructions rigorously to secure a safe, lasting fix. If the task demands more time than anticipated, hiring a professional is advisable to avoid further damage.
