Windy City Blinds

Brent is extremely honest, knowledgable and resourceful with his recommendations and insights. Very easy to discuss options. We purchased the window share and they are top quality. They are always willing to make the customer experience great. Their customer support is wonderful, especially working with Yvette where she’s always very accommodating.

Found these guys on Unilocal,great experience from start to finish. Initially thought we wanted plantation shutters, Brent gave us lots of good options and spent time with us discussing pros and cons of each option, what would work well for bedrooms vs living room in terms of convenience, opacity and appearance. Brent even came back out to re-​measure after we decided we wanted more opaque blinds in the extra bedrooms to get the fit just right. We ended up going with the hunter douglas silhouette blinds in our larger windows and honey comb blinds in the smaller windows with more shallow recess. They really want you to be happy with what you choose and were always available to answer any questions. If Brent thought something would not work well for a space, he was honest about it which is much appreciated for first time buyers. They just completed installation and very happy with the outcome. Highly recommend!

I love Windy City Blinds! They are great. After getting a quote from JC Penny’s who said they would charge $ 100 Consultation fee I decided to call WCB who came out for free and late to I believe Brent came over around 7:00 to my Edgewater Condo. I told them that I was thinking about doing wood blinds to which he graciously cringed and suggested that I look at solar shades for my very LONG wall of Windows. Brent couldn’t have been more correct. I get so many complements about them. I think the price I got was very fair as well.

I highly recommend Windy City Blinds. I wanted wood shutters installed on large windows and a balcony door at the front of my home. It was going to be a custom job because of the cut-​out needed to go around the door handle so the wait time for the custom work ended up being around 12 weeks. It was worth the wait! They look beautiful. The frames are not bulky or obtrusive which was my main concern. They blend in perfectly and really add a fantastic look to my living room. Chris had the install done in no time. Very friendly and helpful guy, as was everyone that I interacted with during the whole process. They answered all my questions during the measuring process and gave me some great feedback on what would work best. When I’m ready to do blinds or shutters in the rest of my home I will absolutely be calling Windy City Blinds again.

Great results on my floor to ceiling blackout shades. Was a tricky job due to the nature of my sliding doors and corners but they were incredibly professional and detail oriented. Best of all, it’s dark when I sleep and looks excellent in the morning light.

Found Windy City Blinds a few months ago on Unilocal.Like others have said, they did a great job! They promptly sent a sales rep/​technician to do the measurement/​pricing. I really appreciated that the sales rep was honest about what would look good and not look good in the space. I have very large windows and he mentioned a few facts that no other blinds rep did in the past. They have a 3 week lead time, and right at the 3 week mark, they called to schedule the install. The process was easy, simple, and everything turned out great! Well priced as well!

We contacted Windy City Blinds to schedule a home consultation. Yvette was very responsive and made the process of scheduling an appointment extremely easy. When Brent came to our condo, we asked him for advice on our window treatment. Brent was extremely honest and actually showed us how we could very easily tweak the current treatment we have to get what we wanted (more natural light) without having to spend any money. His honesty and professionalism was amazing! When we do need to make a replacement for blinds, we will most definitely be contacting Windy City Blinds as Brent proved how trustworthy he is as a professional!

Windy City Blinds was great. Very fast and efficient sales visit, the custom blinds came faster than expected and the install was super quick. Thank you Chris for the amazing service, I highly recommend Windy City Blinds.

I found Windy City Blinds on Unilocal and the reviews were great and they lived up to their reputation. Great customer service — Brent came out to our home the day after I called and he was really straightforward & helpful on figuring out what we needed. My order came in before schedule, installation was quick & easy and we are so happy w/​our blinds. Excellent customer service is hard to come by these days so it’s so appreciated when you get it!

Highly recommend Windy City Blinds — they did a great job from scheduling the consultation to installing the blinds in my Condo. My Sales person Brent really took his time to make sure that I picked the best blinds for my space. I put solar shades in my living room and blackout blinds in the bedrooms — they both look fantastic. Installation was professional and everything was done within 2 hours.

We had Windy City Blinds put shades on five different window areas in our new condo. They look great! We are very happy. Prices were competitive and the customer service was great!
The reps at the office were all very friendly and helpful. Brent was great in helping us walk through all the different options. Him and his partner also did a great job of installing them when they arrived.
Would highly recommend!

Highly Recommend!
Working with Windy City Blinds was a great experience! Our salesman/​technician came out/​measured/​installed/​did everything we didn’t know how/​want to do! Pricing was better than expected. Had great options for our large and unique windows, gave us multiple choices… installed blinds were just as ordered and expected!
I most appreciated the friendly, «non-​pushy» attitude of the salesman. He was very knowledgable and prompt for both appointments. He was even on time for the install, which was impressive considering the snowstorm Chicago had the night before.
5 stars for sure!

There are more important things to do in life than to compare blinds companies. So I opened my Unilocal app, found the top company, and emailed them.
First appointment was quick, professional, and 100% non-​pushy. Sales person had some great input on what we need and what would look good.
Price was less than what my neighbors paid to whoever they hired.
2 weeks later, my solar shades are installed and they look great. Fit was great, look is very clean and minimalist.
Throughout the process, they even communicated with me with text messages.
5-​star performance.

I highly recommend Windy City Blinds. The service is impecible from the scheduling of your first appointment to the install. Paul installed our blinds and did a beautiful job in an incredibly short time.

I’ve used Brent on more than one occasion now, to help me with blinds for all the windows in my unfinished condo. He provided great suggestions, showed me ways to cut my costs when needed, and helped me with choosing the right colors/​shades to compliment the rest of my condo. His experience really shows when he shows up for a consult, and he is courteous, prompt and professional. The whole office is friendly and responsive. I expected fitting 10 windows could be a difficult process, especially when they’re all different and odd sizes, but Brent helped to make it easy., communicated with me readily, offering me many options for installation to work around my tight schedule. Installation was quick & easy, just as the entire process was from start to finish.
I have recommended Windy City Blinds to others, who have echoed my experience and across the board have been 100% satisfied with the product, advice, professionalism, and cost. These guys are top-​notch, and when I move again in the future, they’ll be my top choice.

HIGHLY RECOMMENDED
Fair and transparent pricing, carefully articulated reasoning for recommending types of window treatments or brands, confidence-​inspiring accurate measurements, turnaround on the predicted schedule, fast, clean, and efficient installation.
This rating would be a 5, but I don’t have recent personal experience to compare them to.

As many other reviewers have noted, this is really the only place to consider getting blinds in Chicago. We built a third bedroom in our existing space, cutting a window in half. The two newly created windows needed blinds that would be consistent with the blinds on our other windows, which we did not want to replace. Additionally, we had an extremely problematic window in our bedroom that needed blinds. One side of the window was partially covered by a low ceiling and we knew we would need a creative solution to get it covered and to make it look good. I called Windy City blinds and we were scheduled for a consultation immediately and for a Saturday, which was extremely convenient. Brent came out and together (well 80% him and 20% us) we came up with a great solution for window treatments. It took 3 weeks from that initial visit to the install, which was great and earlier than expected. Brent installed the blinds on a Saturday, which again was very convenient for us, and did a great job. We never thought we would be thrilled with blinds, but we truly are. They have really made our home look great.

I have two oversized sliding doors in my condo: one in the bedroom and one in the living room. I’ve been looking to add the blinds to these for about 4 years but kept putting it off as it hasn’t bugged me as much as my wife. I decided to get a new TV for my living room and the only way I could get my wife onboard was if I did the blinds so I found WCB on Unilocal and gave them a call.
I set up an estimate for a Saturday. Brent quickly walked me through my options and measured and did not upsell at all in fact I tried to upsell myself and he convinced me that it wasn’t necessary (really honest guy). I ended up ordering my blinds on the spot and 4 weeks later Brent came back and installed them perfectly. They level and secure. I seriously could not be happier with the quality of the blinds and the service that WCB provided. I just wish I had called WCB years ago.
Thanks Brent!

The process was a breeze from our in-​home consult to installation. We purchased the most beautiful Hunter Douglas blinds for our entire home that we recently purchased. Passerbys on the sidewalk have complimented me on our lovely shades.
Thanks, Brent!

First of all– BRENT is the MAN!
He is totally professional and is wonderful at his trade– totally proficient.
I think they did a fabulous job– start to finish they did everything. It looks great.
What else can I say. Windy City is the best– the phone service, design and install all went perfectly.
