Outstanding!

The Hunter-Douglas blinds in our kitchen are over fifteen years old but still in good shape. However, a couple of the strings broke and I called We Do Blinds for an estimate. I got a quick response with a very reasonable fee so I booked an appointment. Nick showed up right on time, went to great lengths to do an excellent job and fully explained the work. I could not be happier. Outstanding!

When things go wrong Nick does not stand by his work

Nick ruined my Hunter Douglas blinds and they had large black circles all over them. I paid him to put new blinds in and they smelled like skunk. He refused to answer calls or emails. I had to pay someone to take them down (Nick forced them into the brackets... a mess) and then had to order new blinds that cost me in the thousands.

All I wanted were my blinds clean. DO NOT USE THIS MAN. HE DOES NOT STAND BY HIS WORK

Blinds Repaired

After 22 years, all 12 of my Hunter Douglas Duette shades needed some repair. Not quite ready to splurge on brand new blinds, I called We Do Blinds hoping they could be repaired at a reasonable price. Stella returned my call promptly, took down all the particulars, and called me back in a few hours with a reasonable estimate, right in the ballpark of what I was prepared to pay to get them fixed. Nick arrived at my home right on time as scheduled to assess exactly what would be required, removed three blinds too complicated to be repaired on-site, returned 48 hours later to install the repaired blinds, and to fix the remaining ones. He worked very expertly, and in no time all my blinds were working perfectly again. The service was excellent, professional and friendly from initial call to completion. The repaired blinds have been operating like new for the past two months. My husband and I are extremely happy with the results. This is the company I will call when I decide to buy new blinds. Until then, I now have blinds that work beautifully at very little expense. I am very grateful to have found a good business offering a worthwhile service like this.

Hunter Douglas blind repair and cleaning

Nick did a great job for me and I highly recommend him. I have several Hunter Douglas shades, some needing repair (broken cords), all needing cleaning, and some needing both. Two are at least 15 years old, and being quite large, they were quite expensive, and I wasn't interested in replacing them at this time. Hunter Douglas was quite disinterested (they just want you to buy new ones). They referred me to a company in my area who didn't even call me back. Nick, on the other hand, replied to my email inquiry very quickly, quoted me, and did the work promptly to my satisfaction (including pick-up and delivery/installation). Thank you Nick. I will be happy to use your service again.

Fast turnaround, perfect repair

Our blinds needed cord replacement/repair and cleaning. Nick from We Do Blinds did a terrific job - he returned my call promptly, gave me a quote and picked up/returned my blinds the same week. He also gave me great advice on purchasing new blinds when we decide to replace them in the future. My cleaned and repaired blinds look great!

What's interested is that I searched high and low to find a company in Toronto that will service these, but all they want to sell you new blinds (they're not interested in repairs) which can get quite expensive. So glad to have found Nick - reliable and a nice guy as well. Highly recommended.

Cleaning Blinds

Nick now has permanently closed his business according to the internet search. I don't understand how someone reviewed him 22 hours ago. He doesn't have a voicemail for his business. He is unethical. I continue to give him a chance. To replace the skunk smell blinds, including what I paid Mick and then a certified company to replace the perfectly good Hunter Douglas blinds Nick destroyed will costume more than $4000.00. Do the right thing Nick.

The positive reports for Nick occurs when things turn out. When his work doesn't turn out, he is not an honourable businessman and he does not stand by his work as he claims. There is no such thing as a Hunter Douglas certified cleaner. Check it out with Hunter Douglas.

NEVER EVER EVER EVER EVER BUY OR HIRE THIS MAN. He took my white Hunter Douglas blinds for cleaning and brought them back with huge large dark circles on them. He tried fixing them and his wife told him not to even show it to me. He tried blaming my blinds for these large circles on 4 large blinds that he said would have cost me $3500 to replace. Finally he agreed to replace 2 of the blinds, I kindly agreed to pay for the others. He should have paid for them all. He forced the blinds into my preexisting supports, chipped the paint on the wall. To top it off.....the next day when I returned home my home smelled like SKUNK SKUNK. I called and emailed and he has still not returned one call. One week later the blinds smell like skunk and are so lodged into the holders I can't get them out. HE DIDN'T HAVE THE COURTESY TO CALL OR RETURN EMAILS, and now he is challenging this review. I welcome people to come over and smell the skin in my condo. NEVER EVER EVER EVER USE THIS PERSON. He is not a man of integrity. He doesn't stand by his product. I was too nice in not demanding replacement of Hunter Douglas blinds and that I paid for blinds that I had not planned or budgeted for. How disgusting that he is challenging this review.

HE has had multiple opportunities to make this right . HE DID NOT TELL THE TRUTH to HOMESTARS. He said I wasn't a client. I submitted proof, and thus here is my review. DO NOT USE THIS MAN

Re-Stringing Blinds

My existing custom made blinds were in good shape except for the cord. I called Nick and he had them fixed within a day. Nick and Stella were very pleasant to deal with. I would definately recommend "We Do Blinds".

Thank you!

Thank you for your support.One benefit of having Hunter Douglas blinds is that they are made to last. Cords do wear over time.A simple Cord replacement of any widow covering can bring it back to smooth operation.

Terrible Product

I cannot speak for other services they provide, but I would definitely not buy an blind tracks from them. My parents purchased tracks from Nick for their vertical blinds, and the tracks broke down 3 times, and now Nick refuses to come for service or take the track back. They tried to blame everything other than the track itself including my parents, the vertical blinds, and even the wind. The previous track worked for 9 years before it needed replacement, and their tracks don't even last one month.
I would not trust any of their products; Nick promised 5 year warranty on the product when he installed it, but for our case, the warranty only lasted 1 month, and now my parents are out $250, and had to pay for another company to come replace the track.

Unfortunately original track was damaged beyond repair do to misuse. We suggeted to replace wih a new window coveing such as drapery for size of window which will be easier to operate. We did provide a new 8' track only if fact for them to accommodate there budget. They were very happy with the new track before we left.A month goes by, Even though the new track was damaged by misuse we did replace another track at no charge. Agian with the thrid track we installed with my technician and every one was completely satisfied.Then 1 month later the third track is damaged. We do not give warranty for misuse or damaged caused by what ever reason. Please note we did not charge for reinstall. We cannot provide a new track every month if one damages it every month and it is unreasonable to do so.
We did stand by our warranty even though the tracks were damaged by misuse. Replacing with a 4th track won't solve issues of misuse and wrong product for window.We Went beyond what was necessary and required .
We endeavor to be reasonable and provide the best service.
On each visit we did explain that drapery is the best way.
We did make 5 service calls at no charge .It is the wrong product for that window and dose not meet the needs for complete blockout of sun.The total cost was in fact $220.00 no tax for seniors.We suggest that to go out and try other products that would meet there needs and Operates easier.

Blind Cords Replaced

Based on a Homestars review, I contacted We Do Blinds about fixing a broken roller blind cord that was less than 2 years old. Nick answered all of my questions promptly and fully. He recommended replacing both plastic cords with metal ones that are more durable. Nick arrived on time and made the repairs as quoted. He is very knowledgeable about the products and their care.

Repair shades

We have Luminette shades that have to be removed for painting. Unfortunately, after the painter put it back the mechanism did not work properly. We were lucky to have found We Do Blinds. An appointment was promptly set up within two days. Nick arrived on time and made the shades working again. He's very knowledgeable and makes good recommendations. The best thing is he not only installs but also provides maintenance service like cleaning and repair. We will definitely refer him to our friends. Thanks, Nick.
