Testimonials and Reviews
At A Better Blind & Drapery, our customer reviews are among our best marketing tools! Here are some client testimonials about in-home consultations and experiences.
Just wanted to say that I am beyond impressed. David installed shades and blinds in our home about 3 years ago - and it was a wonderful experience. They came in on time, and his help in selecting the appropriate product for each room ensured that once installed, the window coverings were perfect. Well done, David! I could not be more pleased.
I had a very custom situation that required above-and-beyond design to achieve contemporary-looking drapes in a difficult location in my home. After having many companies out to my home and none of them could figure out how to do it, Sandy at A Better Blind & Drapery gave me exactly what I wanted (which was maximum light blockage in a modern, clean, simple design in my difficult large multiple window location)! I also had a very specific fabric in mind (to match something else in my home), and Sandy was able to find it for me! Adam was a very thorough and professional installer. Overall, I highly recommend this company! If you want something custom (and not just cookie cutter that you could order online and install yourself), then A Better Blind & Drapery is your top (and really your only) choice!
David at Better Blinds does excellent work. We had five blinds installed. Sandy was great at helping pick out the color and style. John was a great installer. We highly recommend this company.
Wow, Dave is amazing. Two years ago, I had him come out and give me an estimate for shutters. At the time, I decided not to go ahead with it because I had other house priorities. A month ago, I called and asked him to come out again and problem-solve my living room wall. I get a lot of afternoon sun, but back up to a golf course, so I wanted to be able to enjoy the view. He showed me many options and gave me great guidance. I got the solar shades installed. I had no idea how much these would improve both the interior and the pleasure of living. He was patient and explained what to expect, the installation was flawless, and the price was affordable. Thank you, Dave, you were right I love them!
Hunter Douglas has great products. However, their sales team of A Better Blind and Drapery is what will make me a repeat customer. This is our 2nd purchase from ABB & D after an entire wood shutter purchase for our second home. Great prices, great service, clean and efficient installations. I highly recommend A BB & D for your window covering needs. I only wish I had more window covering needs so I can work with them again! They will not disappoint!
We just moved into a new place in San Clemente, and my friend referred A Better Blind and Drapery. Dave came over soon after making an appointment, showing us all the possibilities for our windows. Within a few weeks, the blinds were ready, and John installed them faster than we expected. They are so lovely, and we are very happy with the look, customer service, and the best price around. We definitely recommend them to family, friends, and neighbors!
We have used David to recommend and install blinds on two occasions now, and we have been thoroughly impressed with his professional courtesy and efficiency! His prices are very fair, he is on time for his appointments, and his recommendations are spot on! We had one large sliding door in our bedroom that I thought was going to be difficult for what I wanted. But David designed a product that worked perfectly! I couldn't be happier to write a recommendation for this company!
I contacted Better Blind & Drapery to install new draperies in my bedroom. The results were absolutely spectacular! Sandy came to help me select the style, color, materials, and details. She suggested a canopy that covered a drab bare space above the window, which provided an elegant frame for the drapery. I also consulted with Sandy about making a canopy for the antique bed. She suggested a complimentary colored material on the interior. Adam then came to measure. He was quick and precise. The draperies came back with the patterns on each side and matched perfectly. When closed, the draperies looked like one smooth pattern. The bed canopy also fit perfectly. Every pleat was smooth without any pucker. The result was simply elegant. In a time when craftsmanship has all but disappeared, A Better Blind & Drapery provides service, style, and perfection.
