Yasha’s

After many calls requesting information about types of shades (information that was never provided for me) Alex finally said he was in the process of writing up a quote. I waited a week and called back as I didn’t hear from him. I was told he’d get back to me and I haven’t heard from him since.
On the phone he’ll tell you he’s going to do something, but doesn’t follow through. This happened multiple times during our interactions on the phone. I wasn’t able to babysit him through the process of doing his own job and I don’t advise anyone else trying. Use a different company.

Terrible customer service. Be prepared for bumbling incompetence, delays and lots of excuses. The shades I has installed work well, but getting them installed and trying to get any follow-​up service is a nightmare. This experience is a real testament to checking references and not rushing to hire someone in a pinch.

When I moved into my new rental, I was dismayed to find the shades in our bedrooms didn’t black out the light! I took them down and discovered they were Roll-​Ease, and found Yasha’s online.
Alex was really helpful and flexible. I wanted to re-​use as much of the existing equipment as possible, do the installation myself, and keep the original fabric for when I move out. None of this was a problem. He even dropped by my house to advise me when I was surprised by metal studs.
When I installed the new shades last night, the lengths were perfect and everything fit great. For the first time since moving in, I slept past 8:00AM. Glorious.

I searched all over the Bay Area looking for someone who could replace/​repair the sun shades in my skylights. I was FINALLY referred to Yasha’s –Alex not only came up with a cost savings solution, but also had them ready the next day! What more could anyone ask for? I’d recommend Yasha’s for any of your custom made needs…

You know when you find a great contractor and you don’t want to tell anyone because you want them all to yourself? That’s how I feel about Yasha’s. These guys have been in the business a very long time and know their work. I worked with Alex on a job for a design client here in the city and I found his work to be top-​notch. Alex is busy but reliable and responsive. They also did our install of 9 roman shade and was in an out in under 2 hours for a very reasonable fee. I really can’t recommend Yasha’s enough.

Yasha’s made and installed 6 beautiful roman shades for my house and I am very, very pleased with their work. I didn’t have much time for shopping and price comparison, so I only looked at two places: Yasha’s and Stitch in Noe Valley. I had already purchased fabric at Discount Fabrics. The people at Stich were very professional and had more fabrics and sample shades to demonstrate the options, but their quote was twice that of Yasha’s. Stitch contracts with seamstresses to make their shades. Yasha’s makes their shades in their own shop. I saw the tools and blinds in construction when I visited the shop in the Bayview district to drop off my fabric.
Alex, the owner and son of the founder, came to my house to measure, and made some suggestions to really make the blinds fit my windows and décor. He’s a man of few words, but he really knows his blinds. Everything about the shades is well made: the seams follow the grain of the fabric perfectly, the rings on the back are brass so the sun won’t break them down, the rods are hand-​stitched into their pockets on the ends, the shades were pre-​hung and conditioned to fold properly and the cords and cleats are placed to make opening and closing them easy. For measurements and installation, Alex showed up exactly when he said he would and didn’t charge extra for his travel (I live about 2 mi from the shop).
If I hadn’t a clue about what I wanted, I think Stitch might have been better to work with because they explained the options more thoroughly and had more samples to view and choose from. IYasha’s does more of their work with designers and tradespeople who already know what they want. It took them one week longer than they originally said to finish the blinds, and I had to call twice to get them to send the final bill. However, in my mind these are minor quibbles. I have beautiful, high quality shades at a very reasonable price and I couldn’t be happier!

Alex (I think he is the owner) did my roman shades for my house. For the bedrooms he put a special lining to block out light even more. The prices were good and the install very professional. Would recommend big time
