Details That Matter Most

When you bring in your blinds, the technician inspects cords, tilters, slats, and mounting brackets to identify exactly what needs adjustment or replacement. Most repairs are completed on-site, allowing you to pick up restored blinds within a few days instead of waiting weeks for factory service in Grand Rapids. Common fixes include replacing worn lift cords, realigning tilt mechanisms, swapping broken slats, and securing loose valance clips.

Walk-ins are welcome for quick assessments, while appointments are recommended for complex or warranty-related repairs. Nearly 40 years of hands-on experience means you receive accurate diagnostics and solutions tailored to local home styles.

Technicians explain what caused the issue and offer tips to prevent future problems, such as adjusting tilt speed or keeping cords untangled.
