We have used Gary and A1 Blinds to do all the window coverings at our old condo, and some of the windows at the new condo. Recently we dropped in to discuss some issue with the vertical blinds that have been installed for years.
Gary was incredibly helpful with ideas on how to fix them rather than replace. Worked like a charm.
Gary is very knowledgeable and helpful, he is our go to guy for blinds.
Very Professional, Quality Work.
Gary was very helpful, he will make sure that you are satisfied with the work. I'm just greatful that i found them. I highly recommend them for any Blinds and Window Shutter. And i will surely have them again in the future.
The 2 stars are only for Gary. This man is an honest small business owner who truly does care. That said, I paid $6000 for “zebra blinds” for my entire sunroom. It was a disaster. Not measured correctly by Kelly. When I noticed it, I texted her and she never called me but within 5 minutes the final payment popped up on my credit card. The installer is a train wreck. There are still problems with the chains coming off the wall and the valances twisting. I couldn’t possibly count how many holes were erroneously drilled in the walls to get all them straight. Sorry Gary- I didn’t want to do this but it was a lot of money for sub-standard product and no resolution. Every day I open the shades and regret the purchase.
The sales rep was wonderful, the installer was terrific. I was on the phone with the VA trying to reschedule an appointment and the installation was done before I was off the phone.
Nice people who actually care.
Great service, great product! I originally ordered shutters for my bay window from another company. They messed up my order 3 times and after 8 months I still did not have shutters. After I finally got my money back from them, I called A-1 Blinds and Shutters. When they came out to measure, I told them my story. They made a recommendation, double checked their measurements, and placed the order. 2 weeks later they called to say the shutters were ready to install which they did the the very next day. The window looks fantastic, and I am so happy to finally have this room completed. Everyone I talked to was great, the designer Jennifer even followed up after the install to make sure I was happy with the results. Customer service the way it's supposed to be done. I would recommend them hands down over the other place, and actually already have.
I was referred to Gary at A-1 Blinds from a friend, they did a wonderful job from measuring and installation and the finished product is awesome. They were very prompt with their service as well. I am very very pleased with all three windows I had done. I will refer him to everyone I know!,
Very poor customer service. Unorganized, and doesn't communicate well. This is a smaller local company which I prefer to do business with, but I would not recommend this one. Ughhh
Approximately 13 years ago Gary and his team came to our condo and measured for living room and dining room for window coverings. They were on time, gave us options, and we chose plantation shutters. We were given a very fair timeline of several weeks. The price was comparable to other companies, but we wanted to shop local and not big box stores. The shutters were made in St. Petersburg. Gary called us with an installation date and his team came out, installed the white shutters and cleaned up afterward. Fast forward to 2023 and these shutters are just as beautiful as the day they were installed. Over the years, the whole condo (except for the sliding glass doors, have had A-1 shutters installed. Gary was honest and professional while working with me. And I appreciated his business ethics.
If I could give 10 stars, I would! My father needed new blinds for his home that was being renovated. He was living in North Carolina until the house was finished. On a trip down to check on the progress, he took measurements of the windows and brought them into Gary. My dad is color blind so I contacted Gary to inquire about color swatches. Not only did Gary email me right away with the color choices, but we also made arrangements to double check the window measurements because he said " I would rather make one trip to install and it be right!" Good thing he rechecked! I would recommend A-1 Blinds and Shutters to anyone who wants a professional job done right and with compassion!
Gary was very helpful. Highly recommend!
My new home had an on old blind that was just wide enough where it would be unreasonably expensive to replace if I went to a major retailer. The old roller shade was sun damaged and brittle with holes and cracks. I was able to get the material replaced to a more modern style using the original blind's hardware and it turned out great and saved me a ton of money and headache in the process.
Gary is very friendly and helpful, first class service!!!
I waited2 months for sales person Jesn to come back and do final measuring and bring me sample colors and pics of what I was ordering .understandably due to this Pandemic. When she finally came she had no samples and no catalogs or pictures(drawings). She showed me a pic on her cell phone and said it will look something like this....???. I think I should see what I am paying $1000. FOR. SEEMS like a shady operation! Lol. In a all seriousness, I'm glad she ran off. I'll go to someone reputable... Buyer beware!
I love my new blinds. Professionally done. Jennifer gave great ideas as to types and colors. Very personal. Super happy
The owner was able to rebuild my track and it works better than new! All this in 20 minutes. Excellent!
Very professional and quality work! We especially enjoy the personal touch a family owned business provides!
Excellent. Bought new and installed. Repaired old rail on the spot. Good product. Good service.
Painless process from choice to installation. Perfect all the way.
Gary is terrific. I came in with my blinds and he fixed right on the spot while I waited.
Quality product and service! Will 100% be back!!
Gary is awesome and always on point!
They make many kinds of blinds here.
