(These were blinds that were in a home we purchased and not provided from Window-Ology). Hal got the shades completed for us within a work week, we picked up, and reattached to the mounts - just in time to beat much of the cold weather. Hal once again, did a great job for us! We previously (December 2015) purchased 14 blinds from Hal. His measurements are very exact and we couldn't be more pleased. We will use Hal again and recommend his work to anyone. **★★★★★ — Trudi Slater, Dec. 2016** > Hal is an absolute professional and expert in all things related to window coverings, not only did he help us figure out some fancy automated blinds for our bedroom (with very tall ceilings), but also gave us great advice for more cost effective solutions for the kids' rooms. And then I was also able to get his help having some curtains altered to fit a guest bedroom. Very helpful, able to work with different budgets, and super flexible with his time e.g. was able to meet at the house on a weekend. I would highly recommend (and in fact am getting him to do phase 2 of our project). **★★★★★ — Jonathan Stefani, Jan. 2016** > Hal came to our house, measured our windows, and based on our architecture of the house he recommended a particular type of window coverings. A few weeks later he installed all the blinds in an afternoon and they turned out better than we could have expected. And, most importantly, our Hunter Douglas blinds were significantly cheaper than the big name brand blind company. **Comment from WINDOW-OLOGY:** > Thanks for the nice review Jon. It's a pleasure doing business with you! **★★★★★ — Frank Garbor, Nov. 2015** > They re-strung my cellular blind (pull string broke inside the blind) and did a wonderful job. Price was very reasonable and overall I feel I received great value. Entire process of dropping off my blind for repair abd pickup was hassle free. It was a pleasure dealing with them. **★★★★★ — Gina Ylitalo, Aug. 2015** > Hal did an excellent job helping us select blinds for our entire house. He has great style sense and did a fantastic job installing the blinds, even for the small windows that are 14 feet from the floor! Hal also recently helped us select fabric for a 12-year old chair that he had reupholstered for us and we very happy with the result! We highly recommend him! **★★★★★ — Shelby Gagnon, Aug. 2015** > Hal from Window-ology came to install our plantation shutters and cellular blinds today in our home. We'd ordered them online and the measurements were wrong (not through Window-ology) and Hal saved the today. He was incredibly positive and solutions-oriented in helping us make a quick decision in how to move forward with an expensive error by providing practical options for an imperfect situation - we were sure a lot calmer in the midst of a mini-crisis thanks to him! > > Communication was also incredibly quick which we highly value - I emailed them in the evening and received a call first thing the next morning, they called to confirm, and showed up right on time as promised, which is huge when others in the industry don't. > > Can't wait for Hal to come back and install more shutters/blinds at our new home! ## Selected projects - [WINDOW-OLOGY](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/window-ology-pj-vj~842617) - Location: Bellevue, WA - Photos: 26 - [Wood Blinds in Bay Window](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/wood-blinds-in-bay-window-pj-vj~2854376) - Location: Kirkland, WA - Photos: 1 - [Kirkland View Condo](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/kirkland-view-condo-pj-vj~1303374) - Location: Kirkland, WA - Photos: 3 - [Drapes](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/drapes-pj-vj~1354564) - Location: Auburn, WA - Photos: 11 - [Cornice and Panels - Kirkland, WA](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/cornice-and-panels-kirkland-wa-pj-vj~2999565) - Location: Kirkland, WA - Photos: 3 - [Woven Woods and Shutters in Sammamish](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/woven-woods-and-shutters-in-sammamish-pj-vj~5516501) - Location: Sammamish, WA - Photos: 5 - [Octagon Shutter](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/octagon-shutter-pj-vj~2127459) - Location: Kirkland, WA - Photos: 1 - [Auburn, WA Panels and Silhouetts](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/auburn-wa-panels-and-silhouetts-pj-vj~2854375) - Location: Auburn, WA - Photos: 1 - [Seattle PowerView Pirouettes and Blackout Duettes](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/seattle-powerview-pirouettes-and-blackout-duettes-pj-vj~2898513) - Location: Seattle, WA - Photos: 4 - [Cafe Shutters - Mercer Island, WA](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/cafe-shutters-mercer-island-wa-pj-vj~2954684) - Location: Mercer Island, WA - Photos: 3 - [Applause Top Down-Bottom Up Honeycomb Shades - Bothell, WA](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/applause-top-down-bottom-up-honeycomb-shades-bothell-wa-pj-vj~2954697) - Location: Bothell, WA - Photos: 2 - [Traditional/Transitional Bedroom- Windows](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/traditional-transitional-bedroom-windows-pj-vj~578939) - Location: Kirkland, WA - Photos: 6 - [Bypass Track Shutter in Auburn](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/bypass-track-shutter-in-auburn-pj-vj~5969676) - Location: Auburn, WA - Photos: 1 - [Screens - Kirkland, WA](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/screens-kirkland-wa-pj-vj~2999574) - Location: Kirkland, WA - Photos: 4 - [Shutters](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/shutters-pj-vj~578945) - Location: Kirkland, WA - Photos: 37 - [Seattle Decorative Panels](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/seattle-decorative-panels-pj-vj~2478679) - Location: Seattle, WA - Photos: 9 - [Doors](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/doors-pj-vj~1226590) - Location: Kirkland, WA - Photos: 8 - Description: Some of the most difficult things to treat with window treatments are doors. Here are a few examples. One of my favorites is always the shutter. The shutter always looks as though it was intended to be a part of the door. - [Maple Valley Drapes & Pillows - Lisa](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/maple-valley-drapes-and-pillows-lisa-pj-vj~1772960) - Location: Maple Valley, WA - Photos: 9 - [Redmond Honeycomb Shade](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/redmond-honeycomb-shade-pj-vj~1805448) - Location: Redmond, WA - Photos: 1 - [Des Moines - Vignette & Alustra Duette](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/des-moines-vignette-and-alustra-duette-pj-vj~1773277) - Location: Des Moines, WA - Photos: 7 [See all 41 projects](https://www.houzz.com/professionals/window-treatments/window-ology-pfvwus-pf~1863097236) ## Ideabooks - [Guest Bed](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/97553632/list/guest-bed) — 2 ideas - [Landscape Ideas](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/27317166/list/landscape-ideas) — 1 idea - [Garage Doors](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/28532507/list/garage-doors) — 5 ideas - [Birdbaths](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/27604121/list/birdbaths) — 3 ideas [See all 4 ideabooks](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/users/windowology) ## Community Q&A **Q: where are the shades from** *(in Photo Questions)* A: These shades are a Hunter Douglas product from their Designer Roller shade collection. **Q: Do these ripple fold drapes have a butt master lead carrier?What brand** *(in Photo Questions)* A: I prefer the butt master to the overlap for that very reason. It gives the treatment the flow of a grommet drape, but with more functionality. **Q: What type of stone is the floor?** *(in Photo Questions)* A: We only deal with the window treatments, so I can't be sure about the floor. However, I would venture to guess that it's bluestone. **Q: Does this come motorized and by what manufacturer? Also sun block?** *(in Photo Questions)* I would like to find lighter, minimalist shades that are high quality, automatic, with the option of solar block? A: Hunter Douglas has a very nice motorization system for these shades. It's available in a variety of fabrics and colors. They come in sheer sunscreen shades and a variety of opacity levels all the way up to total light blocking. --- *Source: Houzz professional profile. Reflects the profile as of 2026-08-09.*
