At Next Day Blinds, we provide installation services utilizing only professional technicians that are full time employees of the Company. We never use contractors. Because our products incorporate unique designs and features, familiarity with our products and systems is essential for optimal outcomes.
Each of our technicians is fully trained in-house, and intimately familiar with how each of our products is designed and built — understanding how each of our design features improves the installation experience. Many of the window coverings that we design and build are custom tailored to the specific windows onto which they are being installed. Custom tailoring requires levels of integration and familiarity with products and systems that can be achieved only through the exclusivity of full employment. Prior to your installation appointment, you will receive an email confirmation of your installation that will include a brief biography and work history of your Next Day Blinds technician.
Your technician will arrive in a Next Day Blinds uniform and will be driving a Next Day Blinds logoed vehicle. Your installation is scheduled for the date and time frame you choose, right at the point of sale – at the time of purchase. We are able to reliably achieve this because of our internal systems that integrate sales, manufacturing, and installation. We understand that your time is valuable and that having to schedule an installation separate and apart from a product purchase can be an imposition. Our systems are designed to avoid this added step and to ensure that product selections and all service dates and time frames are concluded at the same time in a single, hassle-free step. Because we locally manufacture your premium, custom made window coverings, we can be more accommodating to your needs regarding installation dates and time frames.
If there is a deadline that needs to be met, we will work with you to meet your needs. Next day installation is available for most of our products, when purchased through any one of our Shop At Home consultants. There are no upcharges for next day installation. Hardwood Shutters and Hunter Douglas products are exceptions, and require longer lead times.
Next day installation can be performed the day after you finalize your order, as long as your order is complete and submitted to our factory before 3PM EST. If next day installation is desired, please schedule a morning or early afternoon consultation.
Shop At Home appointments are based on first availability. You are “next day” blinds, right? If you order blinds or shades in one of our showrooms or online, they will be manufactured and (subject, of course, to material availability, weather emergencies, or other factors beyond our control). That's the reason we started Next Day Blinds in 1993: to bring consumers, for the first time, premium-quality, fully custom blinds and shades in days instead of weeks. As our business grew over the years, we added our own professional measuring and installation team to our integrated sales and manufacturing model. These additional services have proven increasingly popular, but they do require additional time.
Hunter Douglas offers high-quality and exclusive production and assembly equipment for manufacturing blinds. Our extensive knowledge and years of experience enabled us to design innovative equipment and services that significantly increase the efficiency of your blind production.
It's a process. Getting premium-quality, fully custom blinds or shades professionally measured, manufactured, and installed starts with a visit to a Next Day Blinds showroom or an in-home consultation. Then we work with your schedule to setup convenient measuring and installation dates and timeframes. For orders that are placed with a Shop At Home consultant, we make every effort to provide installation at your request, up to and including the next day. Full-service, installed sales through our showrooms require additional lead time, although we always try to accommodate individual needs. So, our name is Next Day Blinds for good reason. And just as we offer more than only blinds, we do more than only next-day delivery.
When we established Next Day Blinds, we decided that we could provide you with the best possible service by doing everything ourselves, every step of the way. From writing our own software to building our own products to measuring, selling, installing, and servicing them, we do it all. Everyone involved works directly for Next Day Blinds. Seamlessly integrated services reflect Next Day Blinds' uncompromising commitment to quality in every aspect of our business. This is why we only install the products that we make and sell.
For Shop At Home orders, we make every effort to provide installation at your request, up to and including the next day. Full-service, installed sales through our showrooms typically take seven to ten business days from start to finish, although we always try to accommodate individual needs. Considerations that can extend the timeline: Weekend installation dates are in high demand, Shutters and Cornices take additional production time, and Hunter Douglas® manufactured products often have a 4-6 week lead time. Next Day Blinds’ employees are fully bonded and insured. However, our measurers and installers are not permitted to move furniture. Please make sure the installation area is accessible before we arrive.
At no charge, we will uninstall and remove existing blinds and shades. If you wish to keep your old product after we uninstall is, you must inform us prior. We will not be responsible for the condition of any product that we take down. There is an additional charge for removing and/or reinstalling existing cornices and draperies- consult with your salesperson.
If you choose to patch and paint, you should remove your existing product and patch and paint prior to the scheduled installation. In the event you do not patch and paint prior to the installation of your new blinds, we will patch, but not paint holes left by the product we have taken down.
Talk to your salesperson about the installation area in your home and ask any questions. We are here to help. Contractors may be used from time to time for non-residential installations.

To find out more about how we make money and our editorial process. Hunter Douglas is one of the strongest competitors in blinds worldwide given its technologically advanced and highly customizable products. A strong reputation and variety of services further improve its standing with us. However, the company's big drawback is the lack of an online store. Its website provides thorough descriptions and examples of its products, but consumers must visit an authorized window treatment specialist to buy the company's blinds.

Because of this, we recommend Hunter Douglas for consumers with a nearby specialist who can sell and help them install the company's products. Hunter Douglas' blinds, shades, and other window treatment alternatives are all state-of-the-art, using the company's patented technologies to provide greater insulation, superior light diffusion, and improved acoustics.
Hunter Douglas features every single type of blind and shades available in the market today, on top of advanced features, such as voice control, automatization, and dual fabric construction.

Hunter Douglas takes safety seriously and designs many of its products with it in mind while offering advice for those that could potentially pose a danger to children and pets. Less than a year ago we purchased Hunter Douglas blinds after the completion of a total residential renovation. I WILL NEVER PURCHASE AN HD PRODUCT AGAIN. PLEASE NOTE THAT THE PRICE OF OUR TOTAL INSTALL WAS OVER $16, 000.
Our Luminettes overall fail to close properly, but the main issue was a vane in which we experienced delamination of the fabric. This set is in a master bedroom where the blinds are gently/rarely used. The installer came out to re-secure the fabric as I was unable to, and he indicated that a new panel should be ordered as a replacement as warmer weather may cause the issue to re-occur. CALICO CORNERS, the retailer through whom we purchased the blinds, called to say. Please read all the negative below and it is unfortunate true to my experience.
Their product warranty is a joke, they sent me around with a few numbers to call. Then it cost me more than $200 just for the dealer to ship my blinds out for diagnosis. I was told when at time of order they are 10 years warranty. 'Hunter Douglas blind slats are only covered by the warranty if it is determined the slats are defective.
Hunter Douglas will need to look at the blinds to determine this. We are able to assist you sending them back to Hunter Douglas for inspection. You will need to drop them off at the studio. There is a $65 per blind processing fee. If Hunter Douglas determines the slats have. We have Hunter Douglas Blinds in our apartment, that we are very unhappy with.
Purchased via an Interior Designer, we have three individual panels. They were not cheap to purchase or have installed, and two of the three panels have broken in the raising/lowering gear mechanism three different times. These blinds are in a household with two retired adults, so they are not subject to rough or constant use that might be encountered in a larger household with children etc. Each time this has happened, we are responsible for taking them down and having them shipped for repair.
The shipping costs alone are exorbitant, and we are forced to live with temporary paper shades as the blinds take. I just replaced my 18 year-old Hunter Douglas blinds on two floors of my house because the old ones were not working properly, dirty, etc. However I kept the basement ones because they are still in very good shape! I cannot say that I am happy with the new ones: the quality has definitely gone down, they don't close as tightly, and when closed, they look awful because the vanes are not equally spaced so it creates a pattern - not an attractive one! The old ones are much much better - no comparison! So anyone thinking about getting Hunter Douglas mini-blinds - forget it!
