Skyview Blinds & Shades is a full-service window treatment company that provides service for all window and wall coverings needs, such as blinds, shades, sheers, and motorisation.

They specialise in providing customised services to meet your specific requirements and expectations when it comes to window covering needs, from design to costs.

That said, you can book a free on-site quotation so they can assess and discuss with you your best options and provide the estimate for the request.

We also like their quick installations. We hear that they can finish a job in 15 minutes without compromising quality workmanship.

As for business hours, they are open 7 days a week, so you could find a schedule outside work and take your time to properly discuss the project.

Do note that they don’t have guaranteed warranties for their parts and labour, so a degree of monitoring is highly encouraged during the process.

We also suggest clients who encounter any issues be persistent with their follow-ups since we heard about some issues about their communication. For instance, some clients had their blinds or quotations delayed due to the lack of updates.

Finally, we are pleased that they offer financing plans for up to 12 months so you can fund your projects at zero interest.

Calgary Blinds and Shutters supplies and provides blind installations, custom blinds and shades, motorised blinds, and shutters.

They work with clients to help them select the blinds that best suit their home’s interior design and budget.

To help you with the selection process, you can fill out their online request form and request a free in-home consultation for a more accurate assessment. 

Plus, to help you decide, they have a mobile showroom to take you through their wide selection of products and pick the best one.

Although, there are times when they don’t reply to consultation bookings, especially with their online form email. A phone call may be a better choice.

We also appreciate that the measuring and installation process are counted as free after you’ve selected which type of blinds you want for your home. 

But do keep in mind that we have heard some issues on their product availability or products in stock, thus leading to order delays or cancellations. 

For those who have a specific design in mind, you can consult with their experts, and then they can provide you with a tailored design based on your specifications and requests.

Rest assured that they provide a satisfaction guarantee, so don’t hesitate to raise any concerns after the job is done.

Normandeau Window Coverings is a family-run business that has an experienced design team guiding clients with their blinds, shades, shutters, curtains, and drapery to create their ideal home interior.

They offer no-obligation in-home or virtual consultations with impressive inclusions such as a complimentary design, laser measuring, and a timely quote. 

Their technician also comes with a selection of their products to help you decide if you haven’t been able to see them in a showroom yet. 

This takes off some burden on your shoulders since they arrive with everything you need already.

If you only wish to look around, you can check out one of the 3 showroom locations they have in Calgary. We like that they have multiple locations for this as it offers great flexibility to clients, travel-wise.

However, we heard some issues about some salespeople who aren’t accommodating some of the clients’ enquiries well. It wouldn’t hurt to revisit their customer care protocols, especially in-store.

There were also cases of installation issues, but most were quickly resolved, thanks to the company’s aftercare warranty. The product itself also comes with a manufacturer guarantee, so it can be replaced at no cost. 

Established in 2005, Sara Bella specialises in offering diverse collections of innovative, stylish, and energy-efficient window blinds.

They have different selections for every type of blinds, such as roller, roman, zebra, dual roller, honeycomb, and silhouette.

For a free in-home consultation, you can reach them through their online form, physical establishment, or a phone call.

Just a heads up: there were instances of issues with consultations, from tardiness and no-shows to non-accommodating technicians and a lack of confirmation updates.

We are also a bit concerned after hearing some complaints regarding the attitude of their salespeople. Apparently, some of them exhibit rude behaviour.

On a brighter note, they offer a 5-year limited warranty on materials and a lifetime guarantee on cord and maintenance.

We suggest clients take advantage of this and be sure to call the company for any concerns you may have so they may be able to take care of it as soon as possible — free of charge.

If you plan on a full-house blinds project or just a regular project, you may avail of their payment plans that can be extended up to 12 months at no interest. 

Overall, Sara Bella is a solid choice for clients looking for stylistic blinds selections, having over 2000 colours and designs. 

Sonata Design specialises in home interior services including window fashions, wallcoverings, home automation, closet systems, and architectural visualisation.

You can pick out which type and design of blinds best suit your place by requesting a free in-home consultation or viewing of their showroom. 

We suggest you maximise the consultation and carefully go through their huge selection of products by discussing your preferences and how much you’re willing to spend. 

They also provide virtual design consultations, which is beneficial if you’re still away or out of town.

Considering they are closed on weekends, be sure to have enough time for an average consultation between 1.5 to 2 hours during the week.

But we do recommend reminding or properly confirming your booking in their system because we’ve heard reports of unrecorded appointments. This has caused delays and cases where they assigned the wrong consultant to the client.

We are pleased that they offer a 2-year no-questions-asked warranty on all of their products and installations. Also, most of their products come with a manufacturer’s warranty.

Lastly, it’s nice that they accept all major credit cards, cash, cheque, and EFT, and even have financing options if necessary.
