Kingsway Carpets & Blinds

I had a bad experience with my local Hunter Douglas distributor (to sum it up - after being given an estimate in the store that seemed reasonable based on my own measurements, the sales rep comes to my house, finds the windows are actually smaller than the measurements I'd given them, but then sends me a quote more than 50% higher than the original estimate. Huh?!? Needless to say I didn't go any further with that company). After reading the glowing reviews on Homestars for Kingsway Carpets and Blinds I thought it would be worth making the trip across town to their store -- and it definitely was. Everyone I dealt with (in-store, on the phone and in my house) provided great customer service, was straightforward, knew their products and made useful recommendations based on my requirements. I ended up getting two motorized black-out blinds for my two big ceiling skylights and one manual black-out blind for my slanted roof window, and all for significantly less than the original estimate from the first place I went to! The installation took place around 3 weeks after I placed my order. The installer was also great - he knew his stuff and made it all look easy, even the installation of the blind on the skylight above my 3rd floor staircase. When he was all done he took away all the mess and packaging. The blinds look great and have made a huge difference on our 3rd floor - they really block out the light and heat from the sun. I highly recommend Kingsway Carpets & Blinds if you are shopping for Hunter Douglas blinds for your skylights.
