I was able to get the blinds I wanted within my budget. The blinds were installed three weeks after placing the order. The consultation to select the blinds and installation of the blinds were efficient and all my requests were accommodated. The staff were easy to work with and professional. I recommend the team at Budget Blinds.

Response from the owner · a month ago

Anna, our sincerest apologies for the lack of communication. The area where you live is now serviced by another franchise owner and, regrettably, this appears to have fallen through the cracks by us all. Although we did provide you blinds several years ago, we have no record of you contacting BBWS regarding your recent inquiry. You may have been routed to the newer Budget Blinds franchise when you called this year. We will make sure that the franchise now serving your area is aware of what happened with the goal of preventing this type of thing from occurring in the future. We appreciate your past business, and the owners of the franchise serving your area now are very good people, and very passionate about their business. We appreciate your feedback.
