We need to get blinds for our den.
Can anyone recommend a company that would come in, measure, give an estimate, and put them up?
I could do it on my own as well. My SIL used Blinds To Go and she said it was a PIA.
Any recommendations would be greatly appreciated!Chat Icon

Re: Blinds

Just wanted to say we used blinds to go for our whole house and I would recommend them, they did a great job. They charge $15 per window to install, DH installed them himself, it wasn't hard

Do it yourself. Measure the inside frame of the window and take those measurements to your local Home Depot or Lowes. They will cut the blinds to your size. It's easy and costs a lot less.

We used Hunter Douglas. They were very expensive but have a lifetime guarantee if you stay in the home. Plus, whenever I need a part, I call and they mail it to me. A few times i have needed this or that (dogs chewing, something cracking, etc).

We went through Fortunoff and had a great experience. We got honeycombs and wood blinds.

Re: Blinds

Blinds to go was cheaper than HD or Lowes.

I also recommend Fortunoff and Hunter Douglas.

Re: Blinds

We did the blinds ourselves by going to Lowes and seeing their selection & prices. We took their instructions and measured each window we wanted blinds in and then put our own blinds up that we purchased from Lowes.
