"Work was done very well.  The installers did a professional job and listened and followed my requests during the install (regarding some trim pieces).    Patio doors openings were a custom size which complicated issues, but Kevin McCann provided a number of options to solve the problem.  He also provided me initial quotes before we purchased the home and was patient and provided later quotes which we used after we closed on the house.  They also did some gutter and facia repair that they didn't make much money on but it sure helped me out.  I was glad they could also do this for me.  It saved me a lot of time and effort to find someone to do it.  The doors and new window look great, and I expect will last a lifetime.  Next we'll be replacing a few more windows with McCann. "

"There were three contractors involved in the rehab of our front entrance: Murphy’s Windows & Sunroom for the entry door and staining, The Steam Whisperer for the radiator and Ardrahan Woodworking for the bench. Murphy’s was the lead contractors but all did an outstanding job; as they each not only exceled at their individual tasks, but worked well with each other to ensure a timely finish to the project and minimal disruption to the running of our home. This was critical we have a preschooler and I run a design business out of the house and have clients come through the front door daily! We knocked out the closet and fixed the plaster ourselves so the craftsmen had a clean slate to work with. A cast iron radiator was added to the room to heat the room, but as the walls in this room were not insulated – therefore, the door needed to allow for temperature control between the entry room and the living room. Ardrahan Woodworking built the bench with slots for shoes and to allow heat to circulate from the new radiator. A drawer was added for function, as well as hooks for guests’ coats. (Ardrahan also did their own staining of their own work) Murphy’s then came and installed the pre-hung door they helped me select to fit our purpose. Their craftsmen took a full day to custom build the new trim to match the adjacent door – the match of style was perfect. Finally, Murphy’s sent their stain guy to match the stain – a true artist – as the crown molding in the front entrance was a few shades darker than the living room. So to make the best match he stained the two sides of the door to match the side they are on – and did both sides dead on color! The space is now warm (temperature), open and welcoming. It is everything we hoped it would be and more! All three contractors came in on time, one budget and exceeded our expectations in craftsmanship!"

"The windows themselves were cleaned pretty well--HOWEVER---the worker spilled filthy water all over my living room floor and basically took a dirty rag under his foot to "mop" it up.  Left some nice smears on my wood floors.  He also broke at least one of the levolor blind rods that close and open the blinds--it snapped off so now we cannot fix it.  And we also discovered a crushed vent box on the second floor roof over our bay window which he apparently stepped on.  He was a nice kid but not very careful."

"I have used Pro Team Works in the past to wash my windows and did not have any issues so when I saw on their website that they provided deck maintenance, I decided to use them. BIG MISTAKE! I was provided a proposal for the stain and repairs of my deck-mind you I told them my deck required repairs. Once I signed the proposal, I advised the manager, Doug that I wanted the work to be done the week of July 22nd. I assumed the repairs would be completed before the deck maintenance. My deck was washed and sprayed with chemicals then stained. The guy who completed the staining said someone would be coming in a few days to complete the repairs but no one showed up so I had to call Doug who assured me the work would be complete within the next few days but when the guy showed up, he only completed one repair and said he was done. I pointed out to him the other repairs that were required, he became combative and said this was the only one and said he was going to do them for free. I asked him who owned the company and he said his family. I called the office and requested to speak to the owner but Doug said he was not there but I could speak with him. I told him I would prefer to speak with the owner, he said he would give him the message. I called back within 15 minutes and told Doug the conduct and discussion of the company employee and myself regarding the repairs. Doug proceeded to tell me if I could go outside and look at what needs to be repaired on the deck and let them know that would be helpful. I told him that is what the company should have done when they came to examine my deck and provide the estimate for the staining and repairs. On this same phone call, I asked Doug if he had passed my message on to the owner and now he tells me the owner is out of the country and will not return until the end of August or the beginning of September but he sent him an email. And for this, it took from the week of 7/22 until 8/13 to complete the entire process. It should not have taken this long-there may have been a few days that were not conducive to complete the work-certainly not 3 weeks. I have encountered poor customer service before but what I experience with this company is perhaps the worse. I will never use this company’s service again!"

FAQs for blinds or shades repair projects in Wauconda, IL

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.
