In their words

What our customers say

Most of our work arrives by referral, so what previous customers say about a job carries more weight here than anything we could write ourselves. Below are reviews left by homeowners, builders, and one office manager with thirty windows to cover — reproduced word for word, in the order they came in.

Customer reviews

Nich and his assistant installed blinds throughout our entire new construction home, and we couldn’t be happier with the results. The blinds look beautiful, are easy to operate, and truly enhance the space. Nich was incredibly friendly, easy to work with, and his pricing was very reasonable. He communicated clearly throughout the process and was always reliable.

He later returned with a separate installation team for our shutters, and they were just as impressive—professional, courteous, and highly skilled. The shutters on our sliding glass doors look absolutely gorgeous and completely transform the entire home. We highly recommend Nich/Carolina Blinds and Shades for anyone looking for quality work and excellent service.

About 4 or 5 weeks before we moved into our new home, we decided to get some estimates on faux wooden blinds for our windows. We also needed some ideas about how to cover the sliding glass doors leading from the eat–in kitchen area to the outside covered patio. We started calling around, but because it was a Saturday, we were unable to talk to a live person. We were told to leave a voice mail message and someone would contact us the following week.

We were surprised when we called Carolina Blinds and Shades and Nicholas (Nich) Sifers, the owner himself, answered. He was in his car running an errand and he said that he would be happy to head over shortly and meet with us. He arrived on time, had different samples with him and was able to give us some knowledgeable suggestions based on what we were looking for and what we needed. He had a digital portfolio of different jobs he had completed so we could see the type of work he did.

He is a veteran, which we appreciated, and one of his main suppliers is also a veteran owned North Carolina company. He was very patient, answering all of our questions with knowledge and the experience of being in this business for over twenty years. He suggested a “canister” shade for the glass doors and explained how long it would take to manufacture our blinds and the shade.

He personally measured each window, and once we had a move-in date, he was able to install our blinds the day after we moved in. He came with his assistant and they completed the installation of all the wood blinds in about 1 ½ hours. We had to wait an additional two weeks for our canister roll-up shade to be made with the fabric that we chose, but once it was ready, Mr. Sifers came out to install it right away.

Everything, from the measuring of each window, to the installation of the wood blinds, to the installation of the roll-up shade over the glass doors was handled and completed very professionally. There was nothing left behind – all of the boxes and packing material was removed. All of the blinds were tested before Nich left to be sure that they were functioning as they should. We highly recommend Carolina Blinds and Shades – from the first meeting to the final check – we were so pleased with Nich Sifers and Carolina Blinds and Shades!

It was a wonderful experience working with Nich to get blinds up in our new home! He was very communicative and knowledgeable. We had nothing on our windows (new construction) so I really appreciated that he went out of his way to come out and get our blinds up as soon as possible after they were ready. The blinds look great! If you want to work with someone who is trustworthy, timely and just generally great to work with look no further than Carolina Blinds and Shades.

I love my new blinds. I was able to get an appointment within the same week that I called. Nich came to my house explained the products in detail and helped me to find the best solution for my sliding glass door. I would highly recommend Carolina Blinds and Shades.

From start to finish Nich was so awesome to work with. He made the process easy and he was on top of things and got our blinds done the day we closed. Couldn’t recommend his company enough.

Nich was very professional and helpful! He was not pushy with blinds that I was not interested in. Definitely would recommend Nich to anyone looking to install blinds.

Nich was very professional. He came out did measurements and ordered blinds for my house. In less than 2 weeks the blinds returned. Nic called me and had the blinds installed in 3 days. Great service! He removed the old blinds and installed the new blinds. Love the new blinds I am so happy!

Alicia D.

I would highly recommend Carolina Blinds to all my family & friends. Nich came to my house and measured all my windows and came back to install them when they came in. He did an excellent job and was pleasant and professional. What I liked the most was all the blinds are made right here in NC! My blinds look great! I would call him again.

Debbie D.

Highly recommend Carolina Blinds and Shades! Nich was great to work with. Received my quote very quickly, and came out the same day my blinds were received to put them up. The quality of the blinds is excellent. Will definitely call him in the future!

Cheryl D.

Loved working with Nich Sifers at Carolina Blinds and Shades. From the first visit to measure my windows to the install Nich was very helpful. Nich loves his work and its shows in how he treats his customers. His number one concern is his customer getting a good product that fits their need.

Overall very good and easy experience.

Carolina Blinds and Shades did a wonderful job on blinds in my new home! The quality is much higher than a typical box store blind, and Nich was available and gave us updates throughout the entire process, from measurement to installation, even checking in to make sure we were happy. We couldn't be happier!

Nathan M.

These guys are great! I hired them to install blinds in my bedrooms and bathrooms. Very helpful, consultative, and professional. The blinds themselves are very high quality and were reasonably priced. Highly recommend!

NG Woods

Thankful for the excellent work done!

Nich and his team did a great job replacing 30 blinds in our office building! They worked around our schedule and provided great quality blinds at a very reasonable price. We’re thrilled with our purchase and would highly recommend Carolina Blinds and Shades!

Michael took care of all the details from picking out our blinds to installation. We couldn't be happier with the service we received.

Worked with us?

We read every piece of feedback, and it is how the next install gets better. If we have hung blinds in your house, a few sentences about how it went helps the homeowner deciding after you.
