Professionalism and satisfaction are two words that come to mind to describe my latest experience with Budget Blinds. Years ago, I had honeycomb shades installed in a previous home. The memory of that experience lead me to make a call to them when I needed something small for my new home. From the initial call to the installation, everything went smoothyly and didn't disappoint. Wendy was helpful in helping me make the final decision as to which item and color to use. Tim, the installer, went out of his way to make sure of the ease of movement for the shades. He went above and beyond his job description to provide great customer service. I appreciate his efforts and the efforts of everyone who made this possible. Now I look at the window shade and see beauty to enhance my entryway. Thanks! Marsha
