Stoneside Blinds & Shades

We appreciated both the friendliness and professionalism of Melanie and Andy while choosing our blinds. The quality of Stoneside was apparent and we were happy to see samples of many colors and textures. Melanie had good suggestions for colors and types of shades, after hearing what we were interested in. Andy was on time both for taking measurements and installation, which we really appreciated. We needed some small pieces to match other items to and Melanie had them shipped from Denver right away. Very helpful! We are happy with and have already given the Stoneside name to friends! Thanks

What can I say? Melanie made the entire purchasing process an absolute breeze. She kept me informed through it all, from ordering and shipping to delivery and set up. Andy installed the solar shades for me, and handled drilling into concrete with professionalism and grace. I can’t imagine it was easy. Now I have beautiful shades that really enhance the character of my little bakery, and help keep butter from melting on our work tables. Thank you again! I can’t recommend Stoneside enough!

Melanie was extremely accommodating, helpful and patient throughout our vetting process. Installation was performed expertly and the crew completed work with ample communication, professionalism and transparency. Excellent experience from beginning to end.

We recently purchased blinds for our home from Stoneside since they came highly recommended from a friend of ours. This was or first home that didn’t come with blinds so we weren’t exactly sure of what we were getting ourselves into. The Stoneside Blinds & Shades team did a great job helping us out. The employees on the office that assisted in scheduling made things easy and answered my questions. We worked with designer Melanie LeFur who really helped us a lot when it came to measuring, making suggestions, and placing the order. She was really friendly and knowledgable.
She partners with an installer named Andy. He was great too! We had a manufacturer defect with one of our shades (that I didn’t even notice) but Andy brought it to my attention and quickly ordered a replacement and scheduled an install. My wife and I were very happy with the service and quality of product.

I recently purchased new construction, and wanted to make sure that my window treatments fit into the aesthetic of my house. Melanie came to my house and showed me my options and discussed what would look best in each room. After the installation, I have to say — she was right with all of her recommendations. The windows look amazing, and they really help tie the house together and help it to feel like a home. Anyone can sell you blinds, but it takes a professional to understand form and function. If you’re going to hire someone, you should hire the best. I wouldn’t recommend anyone else!

i will admit that the only «research» i did was online, meaning i did not have another company come out to give me a quote. However, please note that if I felt anything was ‘off’ I would not have proceeded with an order.
I liked what I read about Stoneside so I set-​up an appointment. Melanie initially came out to my house in N Portland to measure and talk to me about my options. She is everything everyone else has written about her, knowledgeable, passionate about her job, charming, also a wealth of information for newbies (to Portland) like myself. I was looking for an upholsterer. She found me one.
I love color and chose different colored cellular shades for every room I was having done, pink, grey, green & blue.
The worst part was the waiting, especially since I was virtually living in a fishbowl. When I finally got the call that they were in (expect a 5 week wait), I was not happy with the initial installation date, so I called back and got one that better suited my timeline (I was having my first weekend visitors).
As things turned out, Andy was able to make it out even earlier than our appointment. He was very professional and efficient and showed me how the shades worked (very easy). But that’s not ALL!
Andy also installed drapes I had bought for two rooms that I didn’t even buy shades for. For a single woman, this is a priceless gesture.
I will very likely order more shades from Stoneside. It was a delight working with Melanie and Andy!

Simply put…
Melanie and Andy were wonderful to work with and the shades are great!
We already suggested them to friends.

I found Stoneside through Unilocal.The reviews were great so I decided to check out their website. I had a good idea of what I wanted before my in home consultation, but Melanie fine tuned all the little details I had not even thought to think of! Her enthusiasm, knowledge, and creativity gave me confidence in my purchase. Andy came out the day after I made my order to do the initial measurements. He was prompt, kind, and professional. I did have a problem when one of my blinds came down on it’s own after only a week of being installed, but this was mainly due to an uneven window sill that needed a bit more stability. I called the company and once again Andy came to the rescue and quickly and efficiently took care of the problem. I would definitely use them again. The blinds are a bit pricey, but the quality is worth it!

I needed window covering for my condo, called a few places and Stoneside was by far the most professional. Melanie setup a consult meeting, came right on time, and we discussed a few options. A quote was put together on the spot. After I agreed an approx delivery date was generated and as that date grew near Stoneside setup up an install date. Andy did the install, again very professional and agreed upon times and dates were met. Final product looks great!

We had an especially wonderful experience ordering some of our window coverings after a move. The deciding factor was definitely the consultation with Melanie, who is mentioned in many of the Unilocal reviews. She knows design, lighting, variety. she, knows how to help people reach a decision and gave great options to meet our budget. The same gentleman Andy came to measure as well as install… true white glove service. Highly recommended!!!

We chose Stoneside after deciding to go with cellular shades for the majority of our window coverings in our new to us home. This was an overwhelmingly positive experience right from the start, with Stoneside able to schedule our in-​home consultation almost immediately.
Melanie was our designer and she was fabulous — so pleasant and easy to work with — everything she suggested was somehow consistent with my awkwardly articulated aesthetic preferences and within budget without even a whiff of trying to upsell. The process was so much easier than I expected; from ordering to installation, everyone was prompt, communicative, and incredibly professional.
Best of all, we are so happy with our shades. I procrastinated window coverings for months because so many options look cheap or dated. Our shades are modern and luxurious, and are the perfect unobtrusive choice for our large picture windows. They are as functional as they are polished, including the blackout shades we chose for the bedrooms, and the cordless shades couldn’t be easier to use. We liked them so much we ended up calling Melanie a few months later and ordering shades for the rest of our windows! Our second experience was somehow even easier than the first, with everything completed well ahead of schedule, and a streamlined experience with scheduling measurements and installation.
All of the pricing information was presented clearly and seemed consistent with other local options; for us it was a significant investment but well worth it given the positive experience and the quality of the finished project. Thanks again Melanie!

Melanie was great! She came out twice and had so many great ideas for our house. The blinds really make the house look complete. The install was fast, flexible, and easy. They also came in well under the price of their competitors (which surprised me with the quality). I would highly recommend calling Melanie if you are in the market.

This is the only place I would go to after calling various companies for a quote for Solar Shades (one company didn’t even know what a Solar Shade was). Outstanding customer service from the initial point of contact. Melanie showed up as promised, was professional, personable and most importantly knowledgeable. She came back a second time to «double check» everything. The installer, Paul, had outstanding communication skills, was neat and tidy and did a «perfect» install job. He was extremely conscientious. The execution and pricing are superior to anything in Portland. Thank you Paul and Melanie for a job exceptionally WELL DONE!

Had an excellent experience with Stoneside. Melanie was fantastic to work with, had a lot of great ideas and suggestions, helping us quickly whittle down all the options so that it didn’t feel overwhelming. The entire experience was the height of professionalism. The headquarters promptly processed the order, and the installer quickly arranged appointments to measure and install. We had one issue with one of the blind cords a few months later; I sent an email to Stoneside and got an email response within hours, and they sent a repair person out quickly to fix it, at no cost. Superb customer service.

Great experience with Stoneside blinds. Love my new blinds! Thank you Melanie.

Stoneside Blinds was a great company to work with and followed through on their promises. Melanie was a pleasure to work with very professional and creative in both style and price. One blind didn’t work properly and no hassle, a new blind was made and the installer came out and replaced. I am very pleased with my experience.

I had in-​home consultations from two other companies, and Stoneside had the widest selection and best options for us. Plus, Melanie was very patient and helpful as we tried to decide what would look and work best for our windows. I would highly recommend Stoneside… and the Deco solar shades.

Melanie Lefur from Stoneside came to my home in Tigard to help pick out shades. Working with her was fantastic & easy. We absolutely LOVE our shades! From time of ordering to install was about 5 weeks. We were very pleased with the timeliness and affordability. Highly recommend working with Melanie and Stoneside– we will be using her again for other rooms! Also a plus: manufactured here in the US. :)

Melanie LeFur is a great rep for Stoneside. She came out to our space, helped me select the fabric and color, and worked hard to get us the best possible price. Highly recommend her!

I heard good things about the quality and US manufacture of these window treatments, so ordered and had installed throughout my new SW PDX home. The price was no more than budget blinds and less than HD and Lowe’s. I’m very pleased with the quality of the product. They look great. The ordering process was very friendly and professional. Installation was done about two weeks after ordering. I would definitely purchase from them again.
