Alegre Blind Company

We received a mailer from Alegre Blinds Company when we moved into our house recently. I had plantation shutters throughout my previous houses and knew what to expect as far as price ranges. I called three places for quotes: Costco, an independent person who had done shutters for my friends house (shady…came late, wrote the quote on a freebie real estate pad with no company name, had no business cards), and ABC. John & his wife (business partner) came out and were courteous, professional, and ultimately gave me the best quote. John brought samples of the types of materials to choose from, the colors, and the frame that go along with the shutters. I signed the contract and placed a deposit that same day. Being a pretty cautious person, I was admittedly worried that this might be too good to be true but decided to wait and see. As indicated on the website, the shutters took approx 5 weeks but during that time, I texted John a couple of times to ask about status. He always replied promptly and during the first inquiry, John checked with the manufacture and proceeded to give me a date that they are expected to arrive. Sure enough, they arrived the week he promised, and today he came to install them. We ordered shutters for 9 windows and it took John about 1.5 hours to install. They look amazing. I’m very pleased with the way they look. Also, while coming in and out of the house, (without me having to ask), John and his assistant always closed the sliding glass door behind them (we had the heat on) and they removed their shoes. I appreciate little things like this because I have two babies who crawl around the house. Right after he left, my husband noticed that on one of the blinds, a screw/​attachment to the tilt bar came loose and I texted John to inform him of this. He returned that same day to look at the blinds. Truly this is a professional business operated by an honest man. I can’t comment on the durability of the product as we had them installed just today but I’m optimistic that they will hold up throughout the years. I will post an update as time goes on. In summary, I will happily do business with ABC again and have no hesitation referring my family & friends. Five stars.

Very professional and nice family owned company! We ordered blinds for the whole house and one of the original blinds we ordered was broken and John wouldn’t take payment until he made that one blind right! We would definitely use them again.

We’ve used John for a few interior shutter projects and are always pleased with his service, quality of work and attention to detail. Highly recommend.

We are so happy with our new kitchen blinds– they look amazing! John at Alegre showed us window covering samples that were so much better than what was available at more expensive window covering companies (including 3 Day Blinds). We found the perfect color scheme and pattern for our kitchen. Although the material was on backorder for the manufacturer for about a month, John installed them for us immediately upon delivery of our custom order. It was definitely worth the wait!

This guy John comes across as the family man type to win your business but he’s shady. I went with him because of all the good reviews (probably friends of his). He installed the blinds and I noticed some blinds were warped and other had paint removed or peeling paint. He promised a lifetime of service and blind warranty but doesn’t respond to calls or texts and has just taken off without any response.
Beware.

John did a perfect job installing my blinds. When I had an out of warranty issue with one blind, he was responsive and came out to fix the problem. When it happened again to the same blind, he took the blinds and returned them to the factory for repair. They repaired at no cost! Thank you John! I would indeed use his services in the future!

ABC installed blinds on 11 windows in my home and I couldn’t be happier. They were awesome from start to finish: Friendly, knowledgeable, affordable, fast and professional. Plus they’re a family business, who doesn’t love supporting local family businesses?! I will be referring ABC to family and friends, and of course all of you savvy Unilocalers. I’m stoked. My windows look fantastic.

I agree with everything everyone else posted about John & Alegre Blind Co. I took a chance on a small business without much exposure on Unilocal and am so happy I did. There’s was no creepy sales pitch, just facts, answered questions, gave the quote, in and out. The blinds showed up in the time frame expected and installed promptly and professionally. High integrity, high quality, high stars!

We’re always happy to support local small businesses, and this one is worthy of it! Amazing, fast, affordable and friendly. No cheesy sales pitch, just straight-​up info. We will be calling John back to do the downstairs soon. Call him!

Just had my plantation shutters installed by John! Yes he is the owner and the one who came measured, and finally brought in the final product! I absolutely LOVE my shutters they are just what I was looking for. His prices are EXTREMELY competitive and his service is «5“star! I am installing some french doors and will need window covers. John at Alegre will be the first one I call!

Despite there being no Unilocal reviews, we took the risk and went with Alegre Blind over other highly rated competitors on Unilocal.We met John, the owner, who was genuinely nice. He is ALSO the installer. With the competition you meet a sales person who always sounds nice, but the installers you never get to meet. Alegre’s price was also very very competitive. Finally, he was responsive when there minor things we needed fixed. All in all, glad we went with Alegre.
