My new Hunter Douglas blinds are great. The installation was so fast. I couldn’t be happier with the service and product. I highly recommend Shades on Wheels in Norwell. **★★★★★ — Suzanne Russell, March 2026** > I’ve used Shades on Wheels in the past. Barbara is pleasant and easy to work with. We had fun choosing the shades. We did multiple areas. Love my new shades and you can’t go wrong with Hunter Douglas. **★★★★★ — Barbara Sanderson, Feb. 2026** > Barbara brings her knowledge of the products, her design sense and, most importantly, her investment in getting the right fit for you. I knew the blinds I wanted but I wasn't confident about the color. Barbara encouraged a second visit to my home . With more time and discussion about my options, I chose the perfect color. > thank you Barbara! **★★★★★ — Marie Mozzer, Dec. 2025** > Since 2016 I have been doing business with Barbara Thomas, Shades on Wheels Inc. I have been extremely pleased with every new window treatment in my home. Barbara was always very professional and knowledgeable. I would highly recommend Shades on Wheels Inc to anyone considering new window treatments. **★★★★★ — Judy Cully, June 2025** > I have a very large living room window that needed a room darkening shade. A roller shade did not work as it was too heavy and difficult to raise and lower. > Barbara was very accommodating giving me some options for what would work best. We decided on the motorized room darkening shade that is also an energy saver -which also gives me a tax credit! > Barbara was extremely easy to work with as was the installer. I love my new shade and the ease with which it works!! **Comment from Shades On Wheels:** > Thk you Judy.. We are so happy your new motorized shade is working out so well for you. It was a pleasure working with you. **★★★★★ — AnnMarie, March 2025** > Barbara was great, she helped me figure out the right type of shade and gave me suggestions on the right color. She was very helpful and knowledgeable. The installer was great too. I highly recommend Barbara and Shades on Wheels! **★★★★★ — Alison Gustafson, Jan. 2025** > Barbara was fantastic with design and ordering our new shades. She came prepared, on time and had excellent communication. She showed me various options for shades and I can't be more pleased! Installation was a breeze. Can't recommend Barbara enough. **★★★★★ — Catherine Lefrank, Jan. 2025** > In April of 2023 I contacted Barbara Thomas of Shades on Wheels to purchase a motorized Roman Shade for my living room. The ease with which that purchase was made was extraordinary. Barbara came to my home and together we picked out the fabric and the style of the shade. Within weeks, Barbara sent the installers who did a great job in a relatively short time. The shades can be opened or closed using a remote... the height of convenience. Just recently an issue with the remote needed to be addressed and after calling Barbara an installer returned within a couple of days and took care of the problem. It's wonderful to do business with someone who is both talented and professional and who not only can deliver a beautiful product but can be counted on to help with any problems which might arise even two years later! If you're looking for quality decorating advice, call Shades on Wheels and ask for Barbara. You won't be disappointed. **★★★★★ — Vero Blanchard, Jan. 2025** > Barbara has great advice, she helped us pick blinds for a bedroom. > Very efficient, great communication, prompt delivery and installation. > Already thinking of repeating business for other rooms that need shades. **★★★★★ — tonidubeau, Dec. 2024** > Barbara was great. The entire process was seamless. She came to my home, measured the windows, updated me on the progress of the shades. She was very responsive. And the shades are beautiful. They move easily and look great. I highly recommend Shades on Wheels. **★★★★★ — lcoulter630, Nov. 2024** > Barbara was so great to work with. I had given her an idea of what I was thinking prior to her coming to my home. She showed up with lots of samples, explained the difference of the shades, etc. we found what we like and ordered. We ordered shades for bedroom and kitchen. She gave us time frame for delivery which was accurate. Installer came and did a fabulous job installing our new shades. Could not be happier with Barbara’s service!!! **★★★★★ — Mel, Oct. 2024** > I have been working with Barbara for years and I highly recommend her services. She is professional, knowledgable and responsive. ## Selected projects - [Vignette® Roman Shades Quincy Massachusetts](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/vignette®-roman-shades-quincy-massachusetts-pj-vj~1375669) - Location: Quincy, MA - Photos: 4 - Description: There are so many window treatment ideas to cover a bay window.
