Cameo Draperies and Blinds

not good

I try to support local businesses. In spite of the bad reviews I decided to give Ricardo a try. I went into the shop. Looked at several sample books and made an appointment with him to measure the windows. Like the previous complaints, he didn’t show up at all.
I did not bother to call because apparently he doesn’t return phone calls anyway, I have since gone elsewhere. He seriously needs extra help in his office to keep him organized. The added business would pay for it.
By the way, the email address on his business card is no longer valid.

I went to this business on a Monday during normal business hours to look at samples. The business was closed with no sign explaining why the storefront was closed… Hmmm. So I called the listed number and Ricardo answered. He said he was in the Valley on a job and we made an appointment for him to come to my house Wednesday between 9 and 11 with samples. He was a no show. I called him @ 11:30 and he answered, said our appt. was for noon, then asked for my address, which I had given him on Monday. Hmmm. How was he planning to get to my house by noon without my address? He came to the house and gave me a price of $ 448 +tax for a standard 46 X 35 honeycomb shade, probably more than the cost of the window. He also said he could repair one of my mini blinds for $ 45 «if he had the part». He said he would go right to his office, see if he had the part and give me a call. Guess what? He never called. Just for fun, I called him the following day and he said he would go check for the part and call me right back. Consistently, he never called. I ended up buying the same style honeycomb shade from
for $ 122 with a 9 day turnaround and having 3-​day Blinds repair my mini blind locally for $ 25. It seems to me that Ricardo is understaffed, over-​priced, disorganized, overwhelmed and UNRELIABLE.

I enjoyed working with Cameo Drapery and Blinds. They were very prompt and timely from ordering to installation. Thank you!

I was referred to Ricardo. Their blinds turned out nice, plus he was local so I decided to give him a try. Just like the previous reviewer — he does not return phone calls. I had to call him about 5 times to come over to measure windows. He took a deposit and said that they would come in in 2 weeks. I called him 2 weeks later and he says one more week and that he would call me. Of course, he doesn’t call me — I have to call him. I’m still waiting for my blinds to come in and now regret doing business with him. I wish there was a 3 day blinds or next day blinds in Ventura County. I agree with previous post — don’t bother — save your time.

The owner Ricardo took measurements of my window, promised to get back to me with an estimate and disappeared. Have called him a couple of times, and he doesn’t return phone calls. I was referred to him by another company. Don’t bother with this guy.
