Window Horizons Corporation – Hunter Douglas Blinds & Shades

Thanks Meni for your professionalism, good advice, promptness, attentiveness to your work and customers, and good products. We have used our blinds for three months now, and having had blinds before, I can see the very good quality of the product and installation. He was also able to answer all of my questions on the phone, and when installing answered all of my wife’s.

I was pricing out Hunter Douglas shades and wanted competitive pricing. Windows Horizons came in with itemized pricing and Meni was always in touch with my questions about finishes and options on the product. He came in to do the initial measurements and showed me the different shade options and came back again once contract was signed to confirm the measurements. I would recommend you get Windows Horizons to price out your job, you won’t go wrong.

Well, as previous reviews have mentioned, Meni is very prompt and professional in his responses, both via phone and email. However, a quote for nearly $ 600 for blinds for 3 windows was too much for me. Even more with shipping and labor included. I asked for different materials to get within a different price range, but the quote was still around $ 500+. There is no showroom so I can’t see if I like the look of a cheaper material or imagine my apt. with the different blinds this business might offer. Meni will come and measure and show samples for free but since I could not get a more reasonable quote, I declined further service and cannot comment on the rest of the process. Here’s the thing, though: if you’re looking at this business, you live in NYC. Everything is already so expensive and like many people I know here, I have moved around a lot. I’m sure this won’t be my last apt. either, so to make such an investment in window treatments seems extravagant and unnecessary. But I don’t want to settle for a cheap looking product either. I guess I’m back on the hunt or its curtains for me!

I had an excellent experience with this company from start to finish. I rarely write Unilocal reviews, but I wanted to because of the excellent service Meni provided. I moved in to a first-​floor apartment and needed blinds installed ASAP. Based on the excellent Unilocal reviews, I decided to call Window Horizons at around 9pm expecting to to leave a message. Meni actually answered the phone and we arranged a consultation appointment incredibly quickly. I decided on Hunter Douglas top/​down noise-​reducing blackout shades for my bedroom and Hunter Douglas top/​down noise-​reducing shades for my living room (which one definitely needs living on the first floor of a West Village apartment in NYC)! The blinds arrived a week later and I emailed Meni immediately because I was so eager to get my blinds installed. He came over the NEXT DAY to install my blinds! If anyone tells you installing top/​down blinds is easy, they don’t know what they’re talking about. Meni took his time and expertly installed my top/​down shades. My apartment feels so much more cozy (and I’m not worried about creepy people looking in)! I highly recommend Meni and Window Horizons Corporation.

Loved the reviews on Unilocal however had a very different experience so I thought it might be worth sharing.
I opted for a free home consultation. Meni called me the next day. He mentioned that he would be on vacation the following week so we had a quick chat and he sent me a rough idea of cost.
I was fine with the numbers, sent him an email back to answer any follow up questions and asked him to come in after he is back from vacation. I was happy to wait for a week as he had great reviews, and seemed like a nice, reliable guy.
As I didn’t get any response back, I gave him another call after 1.5 weeks. I was very open with him and explained that I got another quote but he seemed very competitive and I would love to move forward with the home consultation.
He mentioned he didn’t have the file on him and would get back to me. He generally seemed very reluctant to do the home consultation. I guess he was mainly concerned with me having another quote. I haven’t heard back since. Seems very unprofessional to me. I was almost certain to move ahead with Window Horizons Corporation just needed him to come and measure the space.

What an easy and perfect experience it was working with Meni. After reading all the fantastic reviews, I gave Meni a call regarding wood Hunter Douglas shades for my apartment. Less than an hour later, he was in my apartment for a free measurement along with example of the Hunter Douglas shades. The next day, I received a very reasonable proposal and pulled the trigger. The shades were shipped to my house in a few days. I emailed Meni to install and he showed up the next day to take care of it. The measurements were perfect and the shades look fantastic! I wholeheartedly recommend Meni’s services. It couldn’t have a been an easier process and the results were fantastic. Thanks so much.

Let me start out by saying I am VERY indecisive — I was looking for blinds for 6 windows in my new apartment. I wanted to go somewhere local and I’m so glad I found Window Horizons.
Meni, the owner, is awesome! He’s super patient and helpful when deciding which blinds are best for each room — he also takes budget into account and never tries to upsell you. He was meticulous in his measurements and installation. (And all of his recommendations — from colors to opacity — were spot on!) Our blinds were priced very reasonably and really elevate and finish the apartment — absolutely worth it.
The windows look AMAZING and we are so happy we went with this company — if you’re on the fence — don’t wait — give Meni a call!

Had a great experience working with Window Horizons this week.
Meni is a very accommodating and motivated owner that is directly involved in the entire process from start to finish.
We made the appointment over the phone and he arrived on time and fully prepared to show us the product line and help us with the selection.
The quotation arrived in my email the next morning as promised, the order arrived on-​time and the installation was done on the date and time we agreed.
We are extremely pleased with the blinds and everything has met or exceeded our expectations.
Its nice to deal with someone that does what he says, when he says he will do it, very refreshing!

Looked on Unilocal for Window Treatments. Found Window Horizons.
Called and Meni came within 2 days to measure windows and help
me choose products and colors. I purchased
Solar Shades for the living room and Hunter Douglas
Blackout Honeycomb Shades for the bedroom. The installation
took place 2 weeks later. I am very happy. Everything went smoothly.
I highly recommend Window Horizons.

I could not be happier with the blinds I purchased, and with the service I received. During the measurement/​blind selection process, I was not rushed, nor did I feel like I was being pressured in any direction. It was super easy. The blinds arrived quickly, and installation was fast and well done. My new blinds are perfect, as was the service I received. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!

Window Horizons did an incredible job measuring and installing Hunter Douglas blinds in our home. They were responsive, easy to work with, and understood our taste perfectly. Measurements were fast and easy, and installation happened about two weeks later — all done seamlessly and professionally. I would definitely recommend Window Horizons in the future. Thank you!!!

We installed a sillhouette shade in our second bedroom and it looks gorgeous. The process of having the shade measured, ordered and installed was seamless and easy. Highly recommend.

I just completed a Reno and the last step was getting the blinds. Found Window Horizons and based on the reviews decided to give it a try. I preferred in-​home service for the convenience and my general inability to get a sense of color-​scheme in the store setting.
I sent an email to the company and got an immediate response and scheduled an in-​home visit immediately. Menu arrived at my home with numerous color samples that allowed me to match the blinds with the trim on my window perfectly
within two weeks of that visit the shades arrived and was able to schedule an appointment to get them installed immediately
The service provided was excellent, quick, and personal. I wouldn’t hesitate to use Windows Horizon again and recommend them highly

The company is very reliable and precise. They helped me to choose the right shades without overpricing& did their job professionally and fast. I highly recommend this company for the shades installation.

The gentleman who handled our blinds was extremely knowledgeable, thorough, & friendly.
There was no hard sell, no trying to get us to buy the more expensive models, just a pleasant & informative process of choosing our blinds & having them installed.
The entire experience was quick & painless. In the often dreary mire of our renovation, this was a refreshing oasis.
I can’t recommend this company highly enough.

I recently moved into an apartment on the Upper East Side with very wide windows. Unfortunately, the existing Hunter Douglas window treatments had been abused by prior tenants and were falling apart. The wooden blinds looked like they would’ve been gorgeous in their prime, so I wanted to replace them with a similar style. After getting several quotes from a number of companies and reading online reviews, I decided to use Window Horizons to outfit my apartment with new blinds. Admittedly, Window Horizons did not give me the cheapest quote on the phone (I gave them window measurements and emailed photos of the existing blinds that I wanted to replicate), but they definitely were reasonable and instilled the most confidence in me. Unlike a couple of other companies that gave me lower quotes, but sounded sketchy on the phone or had questionable payment policies (not to mention bad reviews), Window Horizons was a pleasure to deal with. I called the number listed on Unilocal on a Monday and there was a representative at my door to measure and assess my somewhat unique needs. (My apartment has unusually wide windows.) The representative arrived on time and was very knowledgeable. As other reviewers noted, he didn’t just recommend the most expensive blinds that he carried. Instead, he suggested blinds that looked great, but also wouldn’t be too heavy given my large Windows. I trusted the representative and ordered beautiful blinds that were shipped directly to me. After I received the blinds from Hunter Douglas 7 days later, I called Window Horizons to schedule the installation 24 hours later. The same representative that I had previously dealt with arrived on time to complete the installation. He quickly and carefully installed the blinds and spent a few minutes to give me some tips to maximize their lifespan.
Overall, it was a pleasure dealing with Window Horizons. I would definitely recommend them if you want Hunter Douglas blinds installed by a reputable company with fast service.

Wanted to use a local window covering company but am very selective. Had the best experience with Meni who was helpful with selection and extremely timely with my order and the appt prior to ordering. Went with his suggestions and got the Hunter-​Douglas blinds and they look fantastic. Couldn’t have had a better experience with the entire process! Def would give this place a 5 star review.

Just wanted to update my review from last time. I have since used Window Horizons in another room in my apartment, and also in my mother’s apartment. I was again very very happy with the service — fast and very helpful. I live on the upper east side, and never had to wait long for a sales or installation call. I installed Hunter Douglas Silhouette blinds in two rooms in my apartment, and verticals in my mother’s. I recommend them highly!

We were completely pleased with using Window Horizons of the Upper West Side of NYC. Totally professional from start to finish. They helped up to make a terrific selection of Hunter Douglas wood blinds as well as suggesting pull up/​down honey combed blinds for another room. All the work was installed without a hitch. Their service was consistently prompt, courteous and professional.

Though I hated the idea of how much it would inevitably cost, I finally sucked it up and acknowledged I needed some decent shades in my new place which has huge awkwardly proportioned windows. Unilocal to the rescue — Window Horizons came up roses* so I reached out for a quote.
Most importantly to me, he LISTENED to what I wanted. He didn’t push me into the most expensive options — he steered me toward exactly the choices that would accomplish all of my objectives. Specifically he advised a 5% solar shade for the living room and a particular type of blackout for the bedroom, each of which, once installed, were very obviously the perfect choice for my needs.
It was a great experience from start to finish, especially the very friendly service & great communication (quick, and via email — it’s a total mystery to me how few service businesses are willing to use email when it’s so much more convenient for both sides). The person who came to measure and later to install was professional, quick, efficient, and generous with his time and advice, including aesthetics (color, texture, asked a lot of questions about what else I was planning to do décor-​wise and took my answers into account).
He «thought of everything» — eg, to give the doorman advance notice of his name so that they wouldn’t grill him needlessly; how to prepare for delivery of the shades; etc.
All in all it did turn out to be more than I wanted to spend, but I was probably being irrational about how much I was (not) willing to spend. For the quality and service, it was worth it.
*PS what’s with so many of the reviews being filtered? At least some sound pretty legit, low number of reviews or no.
