Budget Blinds Serving Gainesville

We just wanted you to know how pleased we are with the plantation shutters you installed in home in Williston. From the first visit we had with Bruce, where he helped us select just what we were looking for to the professional and fast installation we could not have been more pleased. The result was fantastic and everyone loves the look it gave our home. Thank you.

Budget Blinds in Gainesville is a wonderful, deserving place to give your business. Every person that we dealt with was very personable and professional. Our blinds actually arrived earlier than expected and were installed the next day!! They are absolutely beautiful and we are so pleased with them. Bruce and Jody run a first class business and pay attention to all of the fine details of running that business. How often do you get a thank you note from a business owner that provided you with their product?? Thank you so much to everyone at BB of Gainesville, You guys are awesome!!!!!

Michele & Naveen K. - Gainesville , FL

We recently had shades installed in our sun room by Budget Blinds of Gainesville and what a wonderful experience it was. From my phone conversations with Jody, to our measurement appt with Desiree, to installment by Kevin... our experience with BB was awesome. Not only a quality product but a wonderful experience with a company that is top notch from owners to employees!! They take such pride in their jobs and are so very pleasant to deal with. Thank you so much for a job well done!!!!! We love our new room!!

Thank you for the professional service you extended to us during our recent purchase of 2 1/2" Faux Wood Blinds for our home & garage. The price was right, the product was beautiful and the installation fast, but with care & clean. You made the entire process so easy. We have already recommended you to another couple. Thanks again!

Jim & Jody T. - Gainesville, FL

Richard & Patti T. - High Springs, FL

I wanted to share my positive experience with you. Budget Blinds was prompt, helped me chose the blinds that best meet my needs, and reasonably priced. They are excellent to work with and my Blinds are beautiful! I would highly recommend using Budget Blinds. They are a local business that I'm glad to support!

Sammi S. - Gainesville, FL

Working with budget blinds was fantastic -- we went in during a sale, made our selections, but were not ready for install for several months -- they still honored the sale price AND gave us a military discount -- the salesperson came out and measured and then ordered -- the blinds did take a little longer than expected, but only because of winter storms. I have no complaints about the entire experience -- please keep up the good work! I will definitely send customers your way if I know of any..

Jenifer & Ben - High Springs, FL

We recently purchased a new construction house and needed to get window coverings for the whole house. We decided on plantation shutters at Budget Blinds at the recommendation of a friend. Bruce took his time measuring every window multiple times to make sure they were spot on. He even put up temporary blinds until our shutters were made. Their prices beat out every big box home store in the area. I even considered ordering online and hiring a local installer. Even this wouldn't have beat out Budget Blinds on price. The installation was extremely smooth and professional. It took about half a day for 10 or so sets of windows. Everything was precise and all the debris was cleaned up afterwards. We couldn't have been happier with Budget Blinds Gainesville. If we have any other window treatment needs, we will definitely use them.

Vijay B. - Gainesville, FL

Bruce and Jody of Budget Blinds, Gainesville, are professional and knowledgeable. They installed blinds in three different houses that I have owned in Gainesville, and they really completed the look of the rooms. I highly recommend them. 5 stars!

Marie B. - Gainesville, FL

Matt was awesome! He was in and out within a matter of a half hour. Me and my husband are very happy with the quality of the blinds ! Thank you budget blinds !

Jamie H. - Archer, FL

We recently built a new home and decided to put plantation shutters in. The shutters are of great quality, clean and have exceeded our expectations. We are so happy that we purchased our shutters from Budget Blinds of Gainesville. They were prompt and professional regarding installation. Great Experience all around. Highly recommend using them for any window treatments and we will use them in the future if needed.

Tiffany S. - Lake City, FL

What a great experience from the consultation to installation I was never rushed or pushed into something I did not want or need. Delivery was on time and done correctly. I appreciate all their help and recommend budget blinds to anyone wanting to spruce up there home.

Marlene L. - Alachua, FL

I have to strongly recommend a business for your window treatment needs - BUDGET BLINDS. First of all, don't let the word "budget" fool you - it doesn't mean a cheap, inferior product. This locally-owned and run business has a range of quality shutters, wood blinds, draperies and more! The selection is wonderful and the prices are very fair and reasonable. Bruce and Jody Dolsberry did ALL my blinds when I moved into my home at the end of 2004. I chose the wood blinds. They have been wonderful and look great! (I didn't want the flimsy, cheap-looking kind, but I didn't have the budget of someone who could afford interior decorating!) They have been there for me ever since - almost 11 years! I have made a change or two and broken one because of my own clumsiness. They have been there for me with great service and still treating me as a valued customer. I don't usually write recommendations, let alone post them in public, but these wonderful people deserve all the kudos I can find for their quality products, great prices, and wonderful personal service. Give them a try!!

MaryLynn Z. - Gainesville, FL

Great service call today; prompt, courteous, efficient; problem resolved. A wonderful company to do business with!

Richard W. - Archer, FL

Friendly and very knowledgeable staff. They were able to price match the blinds to other companies we looked at. Great customer service. Highly recommend Budget Blinds.

P. Jong - Lake City, FL

Perfect color and look for our home, thank you so much!

Dan D. - Melrose, FL

I just had my second set of drapes installed by Desiree and the staff at Budget Blinds. What a wonderful experience! The service is outstanding! Desiree was extremely patient as we tried to decide on what we wanted for our windows. When they installed the drapes and the Roman Shades Desiree stayed and steamed them so they looked perfect! I love my window treatments and can't wait to do my next project with them!

Cheryl T. - Newberry, FL

Efficient and delightful experience. Bruce and Jody both were extremely helpful. I love my blinds!

Freddie J. - Newberry, FL

We purchased a whole house full of nice blinds for our new house Summer of 2015. The purchase, ordering, and install all went smoothly. All of the employees were organized and professional. We were impressed with their careful measuring and quick installation. We recently had a blind break and it was covered by the guarantee - all I had to do was call them and they had everything under their records and quickly came out to give me a free replacement blind. So happy we chose this company!

April P. - Gainesville, FL

We can't thank you enough for the outstanding service we received. We are super happy with our blinds and the extra mile Desiree went to correct the issues we had. I have personally recommended you to friends, we will definitely use you for any future window treatments. We have nothing but positive words to say about you all! Thanks again. All the best.

The Purdons - Gainesville, FL

Bruce and Jody, Just writing to thank you for the great job you did helping us in selecting our honeycomb blinds. The sun angle is changing now and they are doing exactly what we had hoped. We were completely satisfied with your service, workmanship and pricing. We will recommend you to our friends! Thanks again...

Pierce and Laura Jones - Micanopy, FL

Recently had Budget Blinds install new horizontal blinds in my house in Williston. 100% satisfied with the blinds, but also the Customer Service they provided. From Desiree, who answered my first call and then came out a couple days later to measure and take the order, to Bruce, the owner, who rescheduled my install due to an unexpected doctors' appointment (mine), to Matt, the installer. I was originally only going to have the front windows done, but, after their exceptional service, prices, and product, I am going to schedule to have both of my bedrooms done also! SO glad I called Budget Blinds! I've already recommended them to a few people!

John Kelly - Williston, FL

I would like to extend my appreciation of the professional experience that I had with your company from the initial consultation to the installation. I am very happy with the end result and would not hesitate to recommend Budget Blinds of Gainesville. The company is high on my recommendation list based on competitive pricing, customer service and product guarantee. Thank you Budget Blinds of Gainesville.

Dawn Haynes - Alachua, FL

Dear Bruce and Jody, We are very pleased that we chose you for our shades. We needed a certain kind and needed them fast. You came through on both. They look beautiful and are easy to use like you said. The installation took less than an hour and looked perfect just in time for our Easter Celebration! Can't thank you enough for making good on your promises. Should we decide on more window coverings you'll be called. You will definitely be recommended to others by us.

Mr. and Mrs. Perfit - Gainesville, FL

Dear Bruce and Jody, I am sorry it has taken me so many months to write to you about our wonderful new plantation shutters. We have waited years to re-do the blinds in our home, and the difference they have made in our bedroom and bathroom is remarkable. The are beautiful, easy to clean, easy to open and close, and best of all make our bedroom so dark at night, and cool during the day. Soon we will be adding the same shutters in our living room, and two remaining bedrooms. Your installer was so nice, and efficient, he was a pleasure to work with. Rest assured that we will, and have, recommended your company to many of our friends. Thanks again, and see you soon.

Vicki and John Sabatella - Gainesville, FL

Bruce and Jody, Thank you for the follow-up note. Yes, I am enjoying the plantation shutters and faux wood blinds. Everyone I encountered while working with you again was a pleasure and extremely professional at all levels. Look forward to completing the rest of the house in due time. All who have seen them agree they were well installed and has made each room more handsome and homey. Best regards,

Donna Ruhl - Gainesville, FL

To Bruce and Jody at Budget Blinds-My husband and I are very pleased with our woven shades from Budget Blinds. Desiree was most HELPFUL and VERY PATIENT with us as we deliberated over what type of window coverings to get. When we told her what we were striving for functionally (privacy and energy efficiency) and what kind of look we wanted (laid back and informal and somewhat natural/ethnic), she showed us several options and shared advantages and disadvantages of each selection. The young man who installed the shades was very polite and expeditious and also cleaned up with his own hand-held vacuum cleaner! I was very impressed! We would definitely recommend Budget Blinds to our friends and we will plan to come back when we're ready to put window coverings on other rooms in the house! Thanks.

Valli Van Meter - Gainesville, FL

Dear Jody & Bruce, We were so blessed to find you two and your wonderful installer Matt. To say; "we are satisfied customers", seems grossly inadequate. We are THRILLED customers LOL!! The service, the work, the blinds and the end result exceeded our hopes and expectations by miles. We will have no trouble providing positive word of mouth advertising and indeed we already have.

Edward & Sheri Evans - Gainesville, FL

Dear Bruce and Jody, We have happily used your excellent window treatment service for many years now. You helped enhance our newly sold home and have started on our new and current home. You both are professional, courteous, pleasant to deal with and make it easy to make selections with your informed advice. I thank you so much for all the work you have done for us in the past and the future projects we will be working on together to make our new home "ours".

Kris and Graig Shaak - Gainesville, FL

Bruce and Jody....just had to let you know how pleased we are with our new solar shades. We had been shopping around for quite a while for these shades for our screened in porch. However, after contacting you, Bruce's quick appointments and personal consultation, it was very easy for us to narrow down the color and style we wanted and make our purchase. We also were very pleased with your installer and that you kept us informed from the beginning to the end of this purchase. Thank you for providing us with such great service. We would highly recommend Budget Blinds to our family and friends.

Bob and Marilyn Geiger - Gainesville, FL

Dear Bruce and Jody, I received your note today, and I do greatly appreciate the service and excellent quality of product and installation of my lovely plantation shutters. I have a friend in California who just had similar shutters installed in her house, but not the same brand, and she was unhappy with the installation. They had to come back and fix them. I am VERY happy with our installation and the feel and movement of the shutter blades. I just couldn't say enough how much I like them. Frankly, I wish I could put them everywhere! I do believe we will be coming to see what else you have, as my husband needs new shades for his home office. The ones he has now are the big box store variety, and they are very heavy and cumbersome to pull up and let down. And he hates the long pull string when they are up. So sometime in the near future hopefully we'll have time to come and look. Thanks again for my beautiful shutters!

Peggy Willumson - Gainesville, FL

We just wanted to thank you for your help through the process of recently ordering blinds for our home. I had always thought that having blinds special ordered would be a cost that we would not be able to afford. Jody was always helpful when I called. Bruce gave us suggestions and recommendations that fit our price range. It is often rare to find the same service after the sale. We had a problem with the valance when it was installed. I got busy and had not gotten a chance to call to see how we could fix the situation. To my surprise, Jody called me to set up an appointment to correct the problem without me calling first. What a nice surprise! I had been wanting to write a thank you note and had just put it on the back burner. In the meantime, one of our blinds had the pull cord separate. Bruce came and corrected the problem quickly and timely. Thank you for providing the customer service that makes a good company a great company. We will gladly recommend you to our friends and family.

Will and Sheila Calsom - Gainesville, FL

Jason and I would like to thank you so much for all of our beautiful blinds! We are really enjoying them and feel they are a great asset to our house. We have been getting many compliments on the blinds from family and friends! We feel that you provided friendly and prompt service, as well as a respectful and professional installer. We are very pleased with the whole experience and are glad that we chose your company. Thanks again!

Laura and Jason Butler - Gainesville, FL

I am a happy person! The custom made plantation shutters are gorgeous, the measuring by Bruce was perfect and the installer was courteous and efficient. I will not hesitate to use your services again and will be recommending you to my friends who are looking to improve their window coverings. Thank you very much.

Linda Irby - Gainesville, FL

Thank you for your note. We are so pleased with our new window treatments. Bruce's recommendations were "spot on" and everything looks just as I had imagined. I really appreciated the time that he spent with me, and the ability to see samples of the products in place before I ordered. Your installer was on time, courteous, neat and efficient. Our experience with your company was great and we will not hesitate to recommend you to anyone who is looking for shutters, blinds or shades. Thanks again for everything!

Kathie and Tim Ruelke - Gainesville, FL

Bruce and Jody, I am so happy with my new blinds. They allow so much sunlight to enter through the windows. Also, as you walk up to my front door, the blinds give my home a fresh appearance. The color that you recommended blends beautifully. The blinds have definitely been a very valuable upgrade to my home! Your staff members were so helpful and very courteous and polite. It was amazing how quickly this project was completed in just 2 weeks. Thank you so much!

Laura Dearinger - Newberry, FL

Bruce and Jody, I appreciate the thank you note. My new blinds are everything I hoped they would be. The light blocking cellular shade in my grand-daughters' guest room is perfect. It completely darkens this west facing room when the sun is still shining brightly at bedtime. The blue cellular shade in the office/guest room really adds a nice color touch to that room and is very functional. Bruce did a great job of helping me select the right products. Your installer is a pleasant professional. He went to work quickly and had all of the blinds installed beautifully in a minimum amount of time. He removed the old blinds and cleaned up behind himself which made the process painless. I highly recommend your company to anyone wanting to purchase shades or blinds.

Elizabeth Bate - Gainesville, FL

Thank you! From Melrose. Your service was professional. Your installer a pro. Bruce helped me choose the perfect lake house blinds and shades. We will enjoy them for years to come. Thanks.

Paula and Dana - Melrose, Florida

Dear Bruce and Jody, A few weeks ago, Dorie and I started discussing ways to add a little pop to our home since we've been in for five years. An additional living room chair was fun, but our real need was at some of our windows. There was no question about who we would call. You had done the initial work on our entire home, all products and installation. Our hope was that you had not sold your business. You'd think we would have known the answer but the reality is...we've never had a service call after the original installation. We were delighted to talk to you both and to work with Bruce once again making decisions about custom wood cornices that matched our trim design and color. Also, we wanted a more finished look in the master bath. Again, we felt like Bruce's ideas and product rationale fit us so well, we presented him with another problem: a 6' x 6' solid glass window looking into a screen-roofed courtyard. It happens that the window faces west from our kitchen nook. It is beautiful but the late afternoon sun sometimes spoiled the fun. As I write, we are enjoying a solar shade which allows us to see the plantings and water feature but is a remarkable sun glare block. Incidentally, the solar shade is a privacy screen from the outside. We were wondering-will you be selling carpet, flooring or some other good thing in the future? That was a little tongue-in-cheek but we have been delighted with our earlier and our newer purchases. Oh, and we forgot to mention that anyone who enters our master bedroom has eyes drawn to the plantation type shutters and it's always good for an "ooooh". In this often goofy world in which we live, you and your staff represent what we're all thinking when we talk about the real value of American small business. Know that we appreciate you!

Bernie and Dorie Garnett - Newberry, FL

Bruce and Jody, I want to let you know that I am very happy with my blinds and shades from Budget Blinds of Gainesville. Desiree was very knowledgeable and patient, and the installers were very professional and efficient. I would highly recommend your products and your services. Thank you again.

Beverly Smith - Gainesville, FL

Bruce and Jody, Thank you for your superior service and professionalism in handling our recent order for solar shades and faux wood blinds for our home in Newberry. We were pleased from beginning to end. Bruce came to our home with samples and prices and was most helpful in helping us select just the right solar shade for our west facing windows. Besides looking great, they really cut the light and heat that we were getting with this Gainesville western sun every afternoon. Every part of the process was painless, from product selection, to ordering and installation. Everything was done promptly and with much attention to all the details. My calls were promptly returned and my questions answered. We are very happy with the service and product provided by Budget Blinds. I would highly recommend this company for any window treatment needs.

Len and Karen Curran - Newberry, FL

Hi Bruce and Jody, We appreciate your letter of thanks for our business that we received and are pleased to give a testimonial to the excellent products and work you did for us. Bruce is very thorough in his estimates and in providing details and answering all our questions. And Matt did a superb job with the installation. He did everything with great care--as if it were his own home, and we appreciate it so much. We have intended to communicate to you how much we are enjoying our cellular shade with cornice. I was a little reluctant to give up drapery, but we both like the clean look of cellular shade and cornice. I wish we had gotten the solar shades sooner--they really add to the sun room, contribute to privacy and help with insulation. We will definitely recommend Budget Blinds to friends and neighbors and contact you again for any future needs. Thanks so much.

Laura and Jack Shaw - Gainesville, FL

Thanks so much for all of your help selecting new blinds for our home. The process was relatively pain free and the blinds are gorgeous. It is so refreshing to know people still do business the old fashioned way! Thanks again for being so kind and professional!

Kim Smith - Newberry, Florida

Dear Jody and Bruce, I want to let you know how happy I am with the new cellular shades in my family room and bedroom. They are exactly what I wanted and look great! I also wanted to say what a pleasure it was doing business with you. Your entire team was professional, yet personable and friendly, quick and efficient too. From the home visit for the estimate to installation, it was all a very positive experience. And your company lives up to its name too. Before getting your quote I feared the costs would be three to four times as high...but was delighted that it was all very reasonable and affordable. Thank you for such great service! I have been telling my friends about Budget Blinds and recommending they contact you if they ever need window treatments.

Susan Bottcher - Gainesville, FL

I am very excited to share with everyone the wonderful decision my husband and I made when we decided to call Bruce Dolsberry from Budget Blinds to purchase Plantation Shutters for our home. Bruce was very professional and came to our home to measure our windows, and he showed us numerous samples to choose from. Six weeks later he came out to install our life time shutters himself. Not only are they beautiful and have amazing quality, the cost was below Home Depot or Lowe's. Thanks!

Esther and Bill Mauffray - Gainesville, Florida

I have had a wonderful experience dealing with Budget Blinds. I had some plantation shutters installed in my dining room and living room and now have ordered four more as I love the look. Bruce was very kind and knowledgeable. Everyone with this company has been very professional and friendly. Thanks Budget Blinds-cannot wait to finish my whole house.

Marilyn McQuade - Gainesville, FL

My husband and I just had blinds from Budget Blinds installed in our bedroom, living room and dining room and couldn't be happier. The quality was amazing and it was very affordable for us retired citizens. The installers were very good and friendly. We are hoping to finish the rest of our windows with Budget Blinds. I can't begin to tell you how satisfied we are. Would recommend them to anyone who wants quality service at affordable prices.

The Hollands - Gainesville, FL

We wanted to tell you that we appreciate your nice thank you note. Handwritten notes are hard to come by these days. Our experience with you was pleasant and professional. Your willingness to work with us on a minor manufacturing glitch which was not your fault was also nice. You have a courteous and professional staff on the phone too. And, to top it off, you went above and beyond giving us an additional piece at no charge. We will recommend you to our friends and family should the need arise. Thank you for your help with our beautiful blinds!

Ben and Cheryl Breon - Gainesville, FL

The blinds in my house are 10 years old now, and two of them needed replacing. I called Budget Blinds because the outfit that originally installed the blinds is run by two really crabby guys, whom I swore never to deal with again. Even though mine was not a BIG order, Budget got their fellow out here in good time to give me a price and to measure. The blinds were then installed in less than the window of time they'd given me-by a different but also pleasant and capable fellow. So Budget met all of my criteria: pleasant, on time, and professional. And my blinds look great. I definitely recommend them.
