Imad’s Draperies & Blind Co

I am a new homeowner and needed new blinds for two bedrooms in my home that each had 8′ windows. Long story short, I chose a different company for each room. I chose Imad’s for the more expensive wooden white shutters in our nursery. When I called to see what could be available and installed in 7 days (I had a party to host.), Imad said that he could come out the following day for measurements and that he could guarantee the wood shutters would be there. Sure enough, the shutters were installed the day before my party, and they look awesome! They were quite expensive — $ 650 — but they look so great. I believe they are a great investment and will be a selling point for our home many years down the road. It will be interesting to see how they compare to the faux wood blinds that we installed in the other room (that were ¹⁄₅^th of the cost of the wood shutters) over time. (See my review of Budget Blinds to compare.) Another point I should make was that I actually had to cancel the time Imad was coming to take measurements because I was very ill and had to go to the hospital that day. He was able to come the following day and still got them in on time! I posted a photo of them here.

I’ve used Imad’s several times over the years with mostly good results. I have one major disappointment though. I ordered a plantation shutter for a large window in my bedroom that hasn’t held up at all. I think it is a defect in the way it was put together and that it should never have been as large and hinged the way it was. This is something that either the salesperson or the company making them should have known. I called Imad’s and after several days they said the next time the rep was out they would schedule an appointment for him to come and look at it. A few weeks after that they called and said he would like to come by within the hour. Well, with no notice at all I wasn’t able to be home at that time. I have not heard from them again have concluded that I wasted my money on the blinds as they will need to be replaced. I am sad to say that I will be looking elsewhere for any window furnishings in the future.

Imad made my outdated kitchen look amazing. Amazing turn around– I had a finished kitchen in two days. Imad’s customer service and follow through is why I will continue to come back to him and the reason for the 5 stars. He comminicated before and after the job. When the work was completed, he also came to check the work and noticed/​fixed little details that I had not even noticed.

I had more than $ 2000.00 worth of faux wood blinds installed. I am incredibly disappointed with the quality. Many, many of the slats are warped. They are an embarassment. I will never purchase from Imad again.
