The window blinds that came with my house were cheap, crummy, and beginning to fall apart.
I sought out new ones.
===
I only have 5 windows, and 2 of them are long and narrow and don't actually open, so this wasn't a giant, monumental task.
===
I went to Lowe's. Their process seemed tedious.
I hopped on the Yelp, made some calls, and got 2 different people to come out and give me an estimate.
===
The first was a lady who, after I said "let me think about it," suddenly offered 40% off the price she quoted me 10 minutes earlier.
That rubbed me the wrong way. Yeah no.
BTW her initial price was over $900.
===
The second was Blinds of Sacramento.
A lady named Jessica came out to measure and give me an estimate. She was very friendly, professional, and personable. And she didn't pressure me at all, which I really appreciated.
===
Blinds would take about 2-3 weeks, and install would follow shortly thereafter. For a grand total of $462.
After a few days of pondering, I texted her and asked if I paid in cash would she do it for $400 out the door? YES SHE WOULD.
===
A few weeks pass..
===
I set up an appointment with a fellow named Omar.
He came out with a few of his dudes. Total install took less than an hour.
I handed him $400 in cash, and we were golden.

Here is my Yelp review of Blinds of Sacramento:
===
I highly recommend them. And I'm not being paid for this. This isn't an advert. I'm just a regular dude who needed some window blinds. Thank you for reading this.
===
Love,
Vincent

Oh and when I went to the bank to retrieve the $400 in cash, I spotted a dude in cargo shorts.

And here are a buttload more pics..

And here's the thank you note they mailed me a few days after install =)
