– The Truth About Buying Window Blinds & Shades from Lowes –

Many people try to save money by buying window shades and blinds from big box stores such as Lowes – without checking prices or get a second quote. But when it comes to buying window blinds and shades, you will surprised to find out that Lowes’ quality is actually inferior while their prices on window shades and blinds are actually higher when you compare “apples to apples”!

As the Agoura Hills area’s leading provider of window blinds and shades, we have spoken to many customers who tried Lowes, only to find out that our prices are lower, our quality is higher, and our customer service is far superior. And we eliminate the headaches and costly mistakes that can come from trying to “DIY” your own blinds and shades.

In this article we explain what you need to know about Lowes window blinds and shades.

Lowes Sells Lower Quality Window Blinds & Shades

Many companies offer a different grade of their product to mass market big box stores. While a product may have brand name recognition, the quality you will typically find at Lowe’s will not be the same as what you will get from someone like us who specializes only in window treatments.

Many Big Box stores have “contractor grade products” since the big stores require a lower price point from the manufacturers. Not only will the interior parts differ from the top grade products we sell, but our products will have a written lifetime warranty, while others offer warranties of only 3 to 5 years.

We offer high quality Made in the USA Brands including: Horizon, Skandia, Comfortex, Horizon and JC Window Treatments – while many of Lowes products are simply listed as “imported”.

Additionally, our window blinds and shades almost universally come with a limited lifetime warranty, while Lowes products often have only 3 to 5 year warranties.

Lowes Has No Window Blind & Shade Specialists

At Lowes, you are not going to find anyone who is a true specialist in window treatments. Lowes employees are typically “floaters” who may be working in refrigerators or plumbing one day, and window treatments the next.

This is because Lowes simply does not pay enough to attract and keep specialized designers – and is staffed primarily by young people and retirees with no background in window shade or blind selection or installation.

Lowes Has No Professional Window Installers

Similarly, Lowes has no professional window installers, and so they will typically try to push “DIY” installation on you. All of their installers are simply subcontractors – so you have no idea if the person they are sending to install your window treatments has any experience at all.

Our window treatment designers have years of experience helping our customers select the right window blinds and shades for their décor, lifestyle and budget. And our expert installers have decades of experience installing window blinds and shades for a perfect fit and a years of flawless operation.
