He helped us install a large arch shade and sky light shade in 2019. Recently the sky light shade ran out of battery and we couldn’t figure out where to locate it. Roger immediately stopped by our house and got the problem fixed. He is great at communication and we will definitely want to do business with him again in the future. **Comment from Shades IN Place:** > Thanks so much for your business. It was a pleasure working with you. **★★★★★ — Thomas Obara, April 2023** > Shades IN Place has done it again! Our original project a year ago was bedroom Roman shades, but for this go round Roger and crew installed roller shades in my office, the den and garage. I would have vetoed roller shades based on what I remembered from my childhood - white, vinyl and faulty spring mechanisms. Roger showed us the light and the various options updated for todays style and durability. I wish I had more windows for Roger’s Shades IN Place to dress. **Comment from Shades IN Place:** > Thanks so much, Tom for your continuous business. We love working with you. > Sincerely **★★★★★ — W P, Jan. 2023** > Roger runs his business as a model for all businesses....He was on time for meetings, followed through with every promise and delivered high quality shades as promised. He is committed to do right by his customers and is a pleasure to work with. Best customer service we have experienced in too long a time. Do yourself a favor and if you need window treatments, contact Roger. He gets an A+ which is why we are submitting this well deserved review. **Comment from Shades IN Place:** > Thanks so much for your business. It was a pleasure working with you. **★★★★★ — Julie, Oct. 2022** > Gorgeous. Roger and his staff are professional and friendly. Explained how each shade worked and had me try several times to make sure I was comfortable using. Most of these shades were angled skylights and they look amazing, Roger was also prompt in answering all my emails. We could not be more pleased. Highly recommend. Beyond our expectations! **Comment from Shades IN Place:** > Thanks so much Julie. It was a great project to work on. Sincerely, **★★★★★ — HU-188683392, Aug. 2022** > Roger from shades in place continues to be our \#1 window treatment professional. Several years ago (2017) he installed several automated blinds in our two-story great room. We use them everyday. Lately, I’ve noticed that the normal wear-and-tear of constant use was causing some of the shades to come down slightly askew (can hardly notice). I called Roger asking for guidance eon how to adjust and instead, he came right over and fixed it immediately! Never asked for money, never tried to just tell me over the phone on how to do it myself, never indicated he’ll try to squeeze me in the next time he’s in our neighborhood. He just scheduled a convenient time with us and did it. We are continuously amazed at the dedication, quality, and care he puts into every customer’s job. Thank you Roger! You have life long customers with us!!! **Comment from Shades IN Place:** > Thanks so much for your business. It was a pleasure working with you. **★★★★★ — HU-719163898, July 2022** > We had all of our windows replaced (17 mulled windows) and had no idea what we wanted to do for window treatments. Roger came for a consult and was amazing. Didn’t give me hundreds of choices or I would have been overwhelmed. He instinctively knew what would look good for the style of our house and narrowed down a few options for us. He measured and order the shades which were a combination of light filtering, black out and wood. The order came in quicker than quoted and Roger and his assistant installed everything in a I think an hour. All of my windows look AMAZING thanks to Roger and team! I highly recommend Shades In Place! **Comment from Shades IN Place:** > Thanks so much for your business. It was a pleasure working with you. **★★★★★ — Visage deLibre, June 2022** > Roger and his assistant were prompt and professional and completed the installation of our many large paintings, framed photos, and acrylic photos quickly and skillfully. Many of our paintings and photos were extremely large and very heavy, and something we wanted a professional to take care of. I will be calling Roger again for another round of art and photo installation. Thanks Roger for your professionalism! **Comment from Shades IN Place:** > Thx so much for your business and awesome review. Much appreciated the opportunity to work with you. > Sincerely, **★★★★★ — HU-220683896, May 2022** > I definitely would recommend Roger with Shades in Place! He has an excellent selection of wonderful window treatments and I have had every window in my home updated with his beautiful shades! His measurements are spot on and his installation is superb. His attention to detail is so evident in the way he handles the product by making sure they are perfectly in place, steaming each fabric blind to remove any minor wrinkle and cleaning up once everything is in place. His service and professionalism is a 10+! **Comment from Shades IN Place:** > Thanks so much for your business. It was a pleasure working with you. **★★★★★ — HU-557951092, March 2022** > Roger from Shades in Place did a wonderful job on our blinds. He is very knowledgeable & we absolutely love our blinds! It’s also great to support a small local business. **Comment from Shades IN Place:** > Thanks so much for your business. It was a pleasure working with you. **★★★★★ — HU-955852996, Sept. 2021** > Extremely happy with Rogers work he has the most unbelievable products he is a hard worker he’s super reliable trustworthy I highly recommend him for any window treatment needs my only wish is I had more window so I could have him come back again and again **Comment from Shades IN Place:** > Thanks so much for your business. It was a pleasure working with you. **★★★★★ — HU-602698170, Sept. 2021** > Best Customer Service! Roger is patient and truly a pleasure to work with. Would highly recommend Shades In Place. I will never go back to any of those big corporations! **Comment from Shades IN Place:** > Thanks so much for your feedback. It was a pleasure working with you :) **★★★★★ — Wovn Home, Sept. 2021** > Roger at Shade In Place is a true professional. He always makes our window treatments look beautiful at installation. Additionally, he is responsive to communication leading up to install day and is always on time which is much appreciated.
