The range of products offered by Budget Blinds of Central Portland may be enough to consider them among your options. To give you an idea, they offer wood blinds, aluminum blinds, motorized blinds, and a lot more.

What’s more interesting is that they offer free consultations, whether it be at home or through virtual means. It’s also fairly easy to contact them so booking a consultation is a relatively easy task (unless on busy days).

In terms of installations, we have no major qualms regarding turnaround times or quality of work. Plus, they offer a lifetime warranty which takes their custom blinds service up a notch (other products may be subject to different terms).

The only issue that may put you off is their expensive pricing system. Although to be fair, this isn’t the same for all types of blinds and installations and you may enjoy lower rates depending on the size of your window.

We’d also love to highlight that their response time is definitely faster than most blind shops in the area. For instance, you can expect them to be around your doorstep in about 10 to 15 minutes – a pretty good time, in our opinion.

Finally, we do think that products are of good quality since most clients enjoyed long-lasting and durable blinds. You may just encounter a slight issue during the design stage, so do have a lot of patience during the consultation. 

If you are in need of all things regarding window coverings, Stoneside Blinds & Shades has a wide range of options. Besides the quality of their product, we reckon that their process system will bring convenience on your part.

But before that, let us first introduce you to the blinds they provide, which is the highlight of this note. For your information, they custom handcraft any window treatments you need, including their blinds of course, in their US manufacturing facility.

It’s also worth mentioning that they offer a wide variety of window blinds for you to choose from: wood, faux wood, composite wood, and vertical. Additionally, your chosen blinds can be further enhanced with decorative elements, something that may interest you. 

Now, the system they have, which we think is reliable, is very convenient from start to finish. From free design consultation and measurement to the selection of materials and installation, they exceeded our expectations.

What’s even more exciting is the fact that they can provide you with automated blinds, which only reflects that they’re incorporated with the right technology – a plus point on our part. Here, clients can control such blinds through voice or remote control.

The only downside is the fact that they don’t usually disclose the warranty that backs all of their services. We think that stuff like this can help future clients in decision-making, but other than that, their solid 5-star rating on Google Reviews & Yelp speaks to their excellence.

Skyline Window Coverings’ style of shades and blinds is what made us think you would consider them. Well, besides the wide range of shades and blinds they provide, you can also count on them when it comes to what we call ‘dressing up your windows’.

Speaking of this, their blinds, to be exact, are available in a variety of materials and finishes – in paints, stains, and metals. This obviously could give you an opportunity to find the perfect look to complement your home’s decor and we approved of it.

For your sliding glass doors and large windows, their vertical blinds can add to their functionality with a touch of sophistication. We, as well as their clients, we’re pleased with their classic to contemporary vertical blind style options that can suit any type of home.

Their installation process, on the other hand, kind of gained mixed reviews. A few of their previous clients claim that it took weeks for their customized blinds to be delivered, but fortunately, the installation itself was quick and finished in under an hour.

We also heard that they have a reasonable pricing system, although specifically, they’re not a budget-friendly store. Good thing they give out design tips and special offers, but this isn’t guaranteed all the time.

Obviously, their automated blinds will cost you a lot, say hundreds of dollars. However, we still find it fair enough since it demands technology to be able to provide it, plus their automated blinds are easy to control with remote control and smart devices.

Their expertise when it comes to customized design window coverings is what comes to our mind whenever we hear the name Bolliger Window Fashions & Interiors. In fact, they have a highly educated team solely available to assist you regarding this.

Whether you’re looking for blinds that range from basic to wand-free or completely motorized ones, they can make it to your desired design. Actually, they have been building their designer partnership for 10+ years, that’s why we’re not that surprised by their competence.

However, we can’t help but notice that there are still poor notes with their creative solutions,  specifically their inconsistencies with the materials. This surely disappoints us, but fortunately, this has only been on one occasion.

Talking about materials, what they have in-store are natural and glistening metals, which are our personal favorite seeing that it’s timeless. On top of it all, they supply Hunter Douglas products, a company known for distributing top-notch window blinds and coverings.

Now, when it comes to delivery and installation, we’ve heard of some issues regarding delays. On a much brighter side, their technicians and installers managed to save such situations and would always give satisfactory end results, as far as we know.

Finally, we also find the financing options very convenient since it’s not easy to install customized window coverings. Well, unlike some of the companies that offer this very service, Bolliger, sadly, doesn’t provide free consultations. 

If you’re in a hurry to replace or install new window blinds for your home, you may want to ring up A to Z Blinds. It’s simply because they’re one of the few blinds outlets in Portland that we know of that can help you order one over the phone.

We know for a fact that measurements are a vital aspect to get precise window coverings for you. That’s why in addition to fast service, they’re also open to making on-site consultations where their staff can personally measure your window, whenever you want.

There’s just a tiny downside when it comes to their home service (based on the reviews), which mostly reflects their poor performance with follow-ups. This definitely isn’t our favorite part about them, and it obviously is a turn-off.

To add to this poor feedback, there are also reported cases regarding inconsistencies with the initial estimation of a project. Good thing, it doesn’t totally affect much of the overall costs of the service, as reflected in their current portfolio.

Looking on the positive side, the shop does offer a wide selection of window coverings – from Venetian blinds, roller shades, wood, and miniblinds, to top-down, bottom-up cellular shades. No doubt that you can find your much-needed blinds/shades with them.

It’s also not a secret that they do repair and cleaning services, that’s why we can see them as a full-service window covering store. On top of it all, your professionally installed blind from them is backed by a warranty, just make sure to ask about it!
