From choosing the best coverings for me, to an incredibly smooth install, not only am I 110% satisfied, I plan to be a repeat customer and sing their praises to anyone I know looking for new coverings. Thank you for taking something I was dreading and turning it into a positive experience. **Comment from Budget Blinds of Waterloo/Inspired Drapes:** > Hi Krista. I'm so pleased that you were satisfied with the finished result. Thank you for the feedback regarding the installation process as well. Matt takes great pride in his work and is always appreciative of the recognition. **★★★★★ — helenjfagan, Jan. 2017** > I have hired Waterloo Budget Blinds twice now and will continue to use them for any future window coverings. They make it so easy by coming into the home and providing good recommendations, reasonable prices, and professional installation. So much easier than running around to stores with random advice. I would highly recommend. **Comment from Budget Blinds of Waterloo/Inspired Drapes:** > Thanks Helen. We appreciate your business. I also appreciated your willingness to have some fun with the colour on your most recent roller shade order. Your bravery was rewarded with an outstanding finished product! **★★★★★ — Carrie Boutcher, Jan. 2017** > We were thrilled with the work done by Brian and his team. We recently renovated our basement and only contacted Budget Blinds as we had been happy with the work they had done for us previously. > > Our basement had a unique situation for covering French door windows (metal doors to our patio). We needed a complete black out solution for a home theatre but there was no clearance with the door to mount blinds above or on the door. Brian and his team worked with us to create covers with magnets in pockets. We love the look better than a blind! We value the fact that Brian was willing to try something completely different to solve our situation. We highly recommend Budget Blinds Waterloo! **Comment from Budget Blinds of Waterloo/Inspired Drapes:** > Thanks so much for your continued business and support, Carrie. I always enjoy using creativity to find a solution for unique situations. I'm glad it worked out so well. All the best. **★★★★★ — Jessica Cotton Design, July 2016** > Brian and his team at Budget Blinds are always professional, well priced and reliable. I highly recommend their services and use them as much as I can for my own client's. > > I highly recommend them! > > Jessica Cotton **Comment from Budget Blinds of Waterloo/Inspired Drapes:** > Hi Jessica, > > The fabric you selected for the the roller shades turned out amazing. Look forward to working with you again soon. ## Selected projects - [Designer Roller Shades](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/designer-roller-shades-pj-vj~880084) - Location: Waterloo, ON - Photos: 6 - Description: Roller shades are one of our more popular and highly customizable window shades.
