After having several companies come out and evaluate our situation we selected Budget Blinds. Several years later we decided we wanted Plantation Shutters on the interior of all of our new storm rated windows. We decided to go with Budget Blinds again after the excellent service they provided us years before and again our experience was wonderful. This time we wanted more interior Vertical Blinds so again we contacted Budget Blinds and the experience was again beyond what we expected. Our initial sales contact was with Brad and then our Installer was Preston. Both Brad and Preston were professional, polite and offered us their advice with no pressure at all. Any future window work I need I will be contacting Budget Blinds again with no hesitation. I would not hesitate for a minute to recommend Budget Blinds of Land O Lakes, Brad and Preston for any window treatments you might need, you will not regret it. **★★★★★ — Evelyn Kosakowski, Dec. 2025** > Elena was very helpful in picking out blinds for my bedroom the quality and installation was excellent I would highly recommend Budget Blinds **★★★★★ — Bath Tune-up, May 2024** > Great business to work with, they have many styles and selections to choose from, fair prices with great service! highly recommended! **★★★★★ — HU-215083352, May 2024** > We had Angela come to our house and were very impressed with her knowledge and upbeat personality. She made the process easy and gave good suggestions for what we need for our windows.. **★★★★★ — Gretchen Kingsbury, April 2024** > Kim came out to my house and showed me samples of what she had after asking me what I was looking for. She was very friendly, helpful, and professional. She measured my windows and told me the blinds should be here within 4-6 weeks. I ordered the blinds and within a month, Mike was at my house ready to install them. The installation was quick and also very professional. I would encourage anyone who needs or is thinking about new window coverings, to contact Budget Blinds. I highly recommend them. **★★★★★ — Peter H, Jan. 2024** > We are art collectors and live in the NW corner of a tower condo. Protecting our art from sun damage is very important to us. Mike and Mark retrofitted our existing blinds with motors to make that task much easier. Budget Blinds was responsive, friendly and accommodating. **★★★★★ — John J. Benson, Aug. 2023** > I ordered 4 Blinds that were each nearly 8 Feet wide and hung 12 feet off the Floor. Price came in very competitive and were installed right on time. I was very impressed with the entire process especially in an area where getting good service is rare. Will deal again if I need more from them. **★★★★ — HU-618352892, Aug. 2023** > Just got my blinds installed yesterday. Nico and Preston did a great job. They took my old blinds down and got ride of them. Put the news ones up in record time (6 windows and 3 sliders). Very professional and took all the boxes etc with them too. They did a great job! **★★★★★ — Doug Smalley, May 2023** > We have just had our second power roller shade installed and it is fantastic. The whole process from estimate, to signing contract to order arriving and being installed was remarkable. Imagine, it came in when it was suppose to and was installed when they said it was going to be. So refreshing to deal with a company who’s word means something. From Scott who visited the site to provide estimate to Matt who installed there was nothing but professionalism and politeness. Thank you very much! \*\*\*\*\* - 5 star. **★ — Sean Gustafson, Dec. 2022** > On September 2nd I entered into an agreement with Mari O'Connor, sales representative for Sue and Trevor Pinto of Budget Blinds of Mid-Lower Manhattan, to have smart motorized shades installed in our apartment. During the sales process Mari stated Budget Blinds affiliate brand Inspired Shades would function exactly like the more expensive non-affiliated Lutron brand. Specifically, Mari had inspected our current Lutron set-up with a single hub hidden from sight and told me Inspired Shades would work exactly as the Lutron accessories in our apartment do. Based on this information I paid $2500 for the Inspired Shades. > > At time of installation on September 28th the blinds did not work through a remote or app. The professional installers informed me they typically have issues with Inspired Shades and we should have purchased Lutron. The installers left the apartment with the blinds not working through the app and instead of providing one remote as promised at time of purchase, each blind needed its own remote next to the blind to function. > > The installers came a second time on September 30th and suggested we place multiple receivers in plain sight around the apartment in an effort to get the blinds to work. I specified the receivers must be hidden but were willing to try it to see if it worked. The installer still could not manage to get all the blinds to work even with receivers in plain sight. > > That same day I was told I could replace the Inspired Shades with Lutron, although I would only receive a $1995 credit towards the purchase vs the $2500 I had already paid. I offered to pay the difference between the $2500 I had already paid and the cost to fabricate new Lutron blinds. Mari declined and suggested the installers come a third time. > > On December 7th the installers came to the apartment a third time. At this point the apartment had been rented so the installers were disturbing our renters in the process. The installers proceeded to place a hub in plain sight on the kitchen counter and put 2 signal repeaters in outlets next to the blinds. One of the outlets was a single plug high voltage outlet designed for our air conditioning. Our apartment was recently gut renovated with many available outlets, but this outlet was closest to the bedroom blind. The installers unplugged the air conditioning and placed a signal repeater in that outlet rendering our air conditioning unit useless. The installers did not set up a multi-channel remote in the process. Mari wrote later that day and claimed the shades "are all functioning properly". > > I was sold a product that would function with a single remote or through a phone app with a hub hidden in the same place we have a hubs for our other smart home appliances. What was delivered was a product that does not work as advertised. In simple terms, I paid for a product I did not receive. Our apartment is less than 700 sq ft and all 3 windows are on the same wall. The desired location for the hub is less than 15ft from any one blind motor. Mari cited electronic interference as the reason the hub would not reach the blinds, even though none of our other smart home appliances have this issue. > > I have tried to solve this by offering to pay for the difference in the Inspired Shades and Lutron. I have also dedicated significant time with Budget Blinds trying to get Inspired shades to work. As a last resort I tried to involve the corporate office on 12.8 and was promptly told they could not help. Bottom line, stay far away unless you are willing to risk the same treatment. **★★★★★ — Muneris Benefits, Nov. 2022** > Jason and Forrest were fantastic to work with from Budget Blinds! They were friendly, prompt, and professional. We appreciate their work! **★★★★★ — S D, Sept. 2022** > Chris was very prompt and efficient with our appointment. He measured our windows for the bi-fold shutters and installed them sooner than planned in the master bedroom. The installation was very seamless and the shutters look great! We are very happy and will order more window treatments soon. The experience and expertise are very apparent in the professional results. ## Selected projects - [Inspired Shades](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/inspired-shades-pj-vj~1718026) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 11 - Description: Our Inspired Shades™ collection features natural shades that take you to a new level of softness, finesse, elegance, and simple, natural beauty.
