“My project to replace drapes in my condo living/dining room proved to be a daunting task. After estimates and suggestions from several businesses, I narrowed it down to two; both good but Lisa with JLS proved to be exceptional. She, Deborah and another colleague were patient and had wonderful ideas and suggestions. Lisa must have been to my home four to five times as we narrowed down the choices. She even accepted delivery when I had to go out of town. My window treatments were installed by the JLS installer, Jorge and his crew, and I am thrilled with the results. Great company on all levels.”

“I am an interior designer and have been using Madina to fabricate my custom window treatments for the last few years. Her work and attention to detail is excellent and my client's have been very happy. She has fabricated both curtain panels and roman shades for me and they have always looked exceptional and operated smoothly. She is pleasant and easy to work with and her lead times for fabrication are very good. I would have no hesitation in recommending her.”

“Janet has worked on two homes for us in Marin and we couldn't be happier with the results. Her professionalism and attention to detail is exquisite, she leaves no stone unturned and works quickly and tirelessly to get the job done perfectly. We gladly recommend Janet to anyone looking for a top notch finish at a value-for-money price.”

“I called Blinds and Designs to come out and provide a bid for shades on a large skylight. We haven't installed them yet because all our bid came back over our budget. Blinds and designs were not the cheapest quote we received, but David, who came out and showed me some options, was very responsive, punctual and communicated well with me via email and phone. I appreciated his professionalism and would consider them again when we get our budget in order.”

“They did an excellent job helping us pick the right blinds for our place. They were also very patient with us and our two kids as well took a long time to decide on the style, color, etc. I highly recommend them.”

“Very pleased with their products and service. We replaced the window and French door treatments in our guest room. Shutters on the windows and Roman shades on the doors. They actually saved me money by recommending a different shade, while keeping the same look as the more expensive shade. Would definitely use them again.”

“We love working with Rachael, her work always makes us look great.”

“Barbara has been helping me make my house beautiful for years. I have always appreciated her good taste and expert advice. She is a wealth of knowledge on fabrics and window coverings and her installation skills cannot be beat. I will always call Barbara when it's time to makeover a room! (The date I listed is an approximate of the last time I worked with Barbara but our relationship goes back 20+ years!)”

“I hired Don to install blinds on every window in my house in Oakland in 2013. I was so impressed with the high level of personal customer service and attention to detail that I hired him again when we bought a new home in Orinda in 2016. He is the epitome of professional and customer-focused. He will listen to what you want and need and take into consideration your unique home and won't try to upsell you - he'll just bring in the samples that fit your needs and is an expert on all of the products he carries. When a cord broke on one of our Oakland blinds about 9 months after installation I called him and he had the whole 7' wide blind replaced within two weeks. And when our blinds arrived much earlier than he quoted for our Orinda home, he came that day to install them himself because his installer was booked and he knew we needed them to help our young children sleep (early bedtimes and long summer days make for a tough time getting babies and toddlers to sleep). I can't recommend him highly enough.”

“Irina, the owner of Curtains European Design, is highly skilled drapery professional. Her design and drapery fabrications are at the high standard and she never stops learning through online classes and professional forums. I met her 3 years ago at the International Window Covering Expo where we attended classes together and we continued to communicate and help each other through the years with useful information. She is very creative and she is always determined to give her clients the best product for their budget.”
