San Diego Shade

We just finished our shades through San Diego Shades. After researching different vendors and getting various estimates, San Diego Shades provided the best quality and price. There were some issues with our initial order but they were great about getting the right shades delivered and installed. The wait time from order to installation was about 2 – 3 weeks.
Bill, the owner, was patient and helpful picking out the specific shade type and color. Billy, the installer, was professional, on time, kind and quick with his work. Kim, who makes your appointments, was organized and very sweet to work with. We are very happy with the outcome of our shades.
Tip: you get a bigger discount the more you order. Recommend getting all your shades at once for the best price.

My first review was removed by Unilocal because I had the exact same experience on the same day with two different vendors… both no call no shows. I do NOT appreciate my legitamate reviews being removed by Unilocal without asking me first!!!
Would not recommend because San Diego shade appears to have scheduling issues as indicated below:

Hi Dee, Bill F. sent you a message on Unilocal:

«Dee, I’m really sorry about this, but we didn’t have any appointment scheduled for you on our calendar.
Are you sure it was San Diego Shade and not someone else (like San Diego Blind and Shade, as an example)? We’ve gotten confused with other companies before. Does your husband recall who he spoke to when he made the appointment?
Again, we didn’t show anything for you guys but maybe we dropped the ball — if that was the case, I do apologize — we take our appointments and customer’s time seriously.
Your feedback is appreciated.
Thanks,
Bill (owner) — 619.287.8863»

I responded back to Bill’s inquiry with the name of the person who my husband spoke with to book the appointment. This is Bill’s reply back to me:

«Sorry Dee — we do apologize. Occasionally, we do make a mistake. We’ve been really busy and Kim must have just misplaced the appointment. I appreciate you getting back to us.

So obviously my concerns with this company are legitamate and I would very much appreciate it if this review of San Diego shade is NOT removed! There’s obviously an issue here that prospective customers should be aware of. I do appreciate the company getting back to me though. Hopefully they will take corrective measures so that other customers do not have the same experience.

This is a very good company to do business with. The owner, Bill, measured my windows on May 8, 2015. The new blinds were installed by Billy within 2 weeks. He was very professional and did a good job. I would highly recommend San Diego Shade.

I am SO happy I chose San Diego Shade! We had a different well known company install black out cellular shades in our nursery 2 years ago. We had them back out to give us a quote to do the same in the new nursery. I didn’t even plan on having another company out to bid since I figured we’d just use the same company as before. Luckily, my husband insisted I compare prices. San Diego Shade was my next call and their bid was HALF what the other company was charging– and for the same exact product! We were so impressed with their pricing that we had them measure another window in the house. They came back out right away again and I thought that was so nice they weren’t irritated I didn’t have them measure that room the 1^st time! We authorized the work and just a week later they were back to install! I had a 9am appointment set up and called them the day before the appointment to ask if they could come at 8am instead. Jene in the office said no problem and right on time at 8am the next day, their guy was here! He was incredibly nice, and professional. Jene even emailed me when the job was complete and gave me options for completing payment. I was even impressed with that! The fact that they gave me a heads up they were going to charge the card on file and asked if that was ok, or if I wanted to call with a different card, or send a check. I know it may seem silly, and like tiny details, but that is service that I am not at all used to anymore! It was refreshing and I am HUGE fan of these guys!

This is truly a «customer comes first» company! I ordered shades for my living room windows. They arrived earlier than I had expected and they look great! The installer was so conscientious that I hardly noticed him doing so. I would definitely recommend this company!

San Diego Shade installed window coverings for us recently. Happy with their service from estimate to installation. Bill provided suggestions initially but we did not feel hassled or pressured as we were on a budget. Billy the installer was also very pleasant during installation and was here on time and completed the job as promised. Satisfied with the services provided.

San Diego Shade installed all new shades for my new place in Carlsbad, all 22 windows. They did an exceptional job! They were very quick (with the quote and the installation) and efficient and the quality of the work was top notch. The owner was very knowledgeable and gave me some good advice and guidance on what to choose and the installer was very efficient and the shades look professionally installed. I would highly recommend San Diego!

It was such a pleasure working with San Diego Shade. I got exceptional service and a quality product. I ordered shutters for each of my daughter’s rooms. The installer was thorough and went above and beyond! I was really worried about my 1 and 3 year old being able to open their bedroom windows, so he installed a bolt at the top of the shutters so only my husband or I can reach it and allows the shutter to «lock». I was so happy to have this security put in (and he was the one who suggested it to me)!!! I also had another shutter in my house that need a slight repair, he did it for me right on the spot. I was impressed and will absolutely use this company again for future needs.

This has been the best experience ever! I recently purchased my first home and needless to say it has the most odd shaped windows and i was majorly on a budget. The owner was amazingly helpful. The blinds had to be special ordered but they came quick and the next day they were here to install! They look great and the guy billy who came to install them was professional courteous and kind! He taught me how to use and clean them and made sure i had all the information i needed. Even though there as a small problem with one piece ordered billy made sure to be respectful of my time getting the problem quickly fixed and the one blind up next day!!! When i do the rest of the house better believe ill be back here! Great prices from a smaller company=better than those big box companies… thanks for making my house a home!
