Comments: Hired Seth and Apex to have blinds installed years ago. Have had a few issues since then and Seth has got me replacements quickly with no hassle every time. Highly recommend.

Comments: Both Seth Blaustein and his installer and his installer, Dustin, were on time, responsive, and pleasant to work with. They did a great job replacing 6 old Hunter Douglas blinds.

Comments: Seth is a great guy that fulfills all of his promises. Over and above being skilled at what he does he is just a good person. We actually spent time chatting over dinner which we invited him to. We felt that comfortable with him. I would wholeheartedly recommend him for his workmanship and even his corny jokes. Also just to clarify I didn't know Seth prior to hiring him but count him as a friend today. If you are looking for someone with a ton of experience that is personable and trustworthy. Seth is your man.

Comments: Seth knows his products and gave me options the others I got bids from did not. I ended up spending a lot less than others had quoted. Seth was professional, friendly and his measurements were spot on. He helped me choose the perfect window covering for my needs. My installer from Hunter Douglas, Dustin, was equally as good. I love my new motorized shade. I would definitely call Seth again.

Review Date: 01/17/2019 | Author: J S.

Comments: Besides being a nice guy, Seth really knows his product and gives wonderful customer service. He was very patient to answer all my questions since this was a new area for me. I am very satisfied with how the project came out, and even with a small delay he kept me constantly advised and followed up and his installer Jeff was also a pleasure to work with. This is customer service that is not seen very often. Thanks, Seth!

Comments: From the moment Seth Blaustein walked in, I knew I was in good hands. He was on time, polite, professional, and obviously knew what he was doing. The job was completed in a timely manner, and the clean-up was thorough. I highly recommend Apex. Claudia Simpson-Jones, Yelm, WA

Comments: Seth is great to work with! I only needed five windows but no job is too small for him. He personally came out and measured my windows and listened to my concerns. Seth is very knowledgeable and has great ideas. At first I had decided to go with the honeycomb but then changed my mind and decided to go with the same type of Hunter Douglas blinds that I already had through out the house. Seth had no problems with the change and came back for a second appointment to meet my needs. I?m very happy with the final results and feel confident that I can rely on Seth with any issues down the road. I highly recommend Seth.

Comments: Owner Seth was very friendly, straightforward and helpful from our first conversation, which was important to me. He was on time for all appointments, was meticulous with color and details, and did a highly professional job from measuring my windows through installation. And the results are gorgeous! If you need blinds, I would highly recommend Apex Window Fashions.

Review Date: 05/30/2018 | Author: Brenda T.

Comments: Seth responded to my request immediately and worked me into his schedule quickly. He is honest, reliable and professional. He went out of his way to help me with the repair when other large window covering companies did not make an effort to help with the repair. Will definitely use Seth when we are ready to replace all of our shades. He's great!

Review Date: 03/26/2018 | Author: Analisa S.

Comments: Seth is amazing! He personally came out, helped figure out what we needed and the best value for our money! Would highly recommend!

Review Date: 11/02/2017 | Author: Lorie L.

Comments: My drapes look fine, but they were pricey. Unfortunately, there were not too many blinds companies in the area. I purchased some Roman shades, some regular mini-blinds, and an up/down room-darkening blind.

Review Date: 10/03/2017 | Author: Alice D.

Comments: Very professional. Great to work with. Called when he was on his way. Arrived as scheduled.

Review Date: 09/28/2017 | Author: Paige G.

Comments: Seth at Apex was great to work with, pleasant, very knowledgeable, professional, and efficient. We're very pleased with the product and the installation. I had called two other companies recommended on Home Advisor, one of which cancelled our appt at the last minute, said they'd call back to reschedule, and never did. The other company came to our home to get the info for the estimate but we never heard from them again. Apex is definitely the go to for window coverings.

Review Date: 04/29/2017 | Author: Brandon W.

Comments: We chose Seth because of the three window treatment companies that Home Advisor recommend for our area, Apex had the highest ratings, longest experience. Seth himself came to our home to do the consultation, measurements and installation. We have three levels to our home and ended up getting the sliding shutters for the patio door, wooden blinds for the bedrooms, vinyl blinds for the bathroom, blackout blinds for the 3rd floor media room (which helps to keep the sun out and the room cooler) and privacy blinds for the front of the house that opens from the top or bottom and allows ambient light to pass through even while completely closed. There are lots of options and Seth patiently walked us through the process. He's hard working and very easy to work with and helped us get the right window treatments for our budget and style. I definitely recommend to anyone looking to have beautifully professionally installed window treatments.

Comments: Seth is a great guy and very detail oriented. He installed all my blinds with Hunter Douglas and Norman brands. Absolutely beautiful. Some of our windows are angled and HD could not install it properly and Seth went extra miles to solve the problem and make them look really nice.

Comments: Great,Prompt service

Review Date: 01/31/2017 | Author: a Neighbor

Comments: We are so happy we found Seth and Apex Window Fashions to provide blinds for our 1904 Craftsman. Seth successfully navigated a minefield of problems: 1) The windows in our house are old and quirky with various moldings and upgrades. Seth had the expertise to work around potential problems to find blinds that work well and look beautiful on all the windows. 2) My husband uses a wheel chair and has limited mobility. In addition, the windows in some rooms in our house are very high. Unlike the other company that provided a bid, Seth had the expertise and concern to realize that most HunterDouglas operating systems would not work for us and recommended an operating system that resulted in our purchasing less expensive blinds. In other words, he put our needs first. 3) He provided good counsel on bells and whistles. We were planning to purchase top down/bottom up and blackout blinds for most windows. Seth helped us analyze our needs and we ended up purchasing these styles more judiciously, resulting in considerable savings. As others indicate, Seth provides professional, timely, and friendly service. But he goes well beyond that. Now that we have been living with the blinds for some weeks, we have benefited from the wisdom of Seth's advice. We are very, very happy with our blinds and very grateful to Seth for his thoughtful consultation. I can't imagine a better experience!

Comments: Seth was easy to communicate with via text, email, or phone. He gave me a rough estimate based on my description and measurements over the phone and then came out with samples for the exact one which was close. The install was quick and the blinds look very nice.

Comments: Seth came out on short notice and did a great job. He Communicates well and professional. Very knowledgeable on his trade. I highly recommend him and will certainly call on him in the future if the need arises.

Review Date: 07/17/2016 | Author: Jeremy J.

Comments: We needed to replace some very old blinds and add some blinds to windows that had none. After some initial research we found our way to Seth at Apex Window Fashions and had a good preliminary discussion and decided to utilize him. Seth was very professional throughout the process and did a great job. We actually had one window that after installation was sliding down a little bit and Seth said it was a tension related issue and was out a couple days later to fix it completely. We have now had the blinds a couple months and love them. Great work Apex and we would gladly refer any friends and family to Seth!

Comments: I can sum up my experience in one word: "Wow!" Seth is simply amazing: he knows what he is talking about and he is easy to talk with, he is extremely nice and thoughtful, he carries great products, he does great work, and is very reasonably priced. If there is anything else I've missed which should go into a review, he excelled at that also. I can't recommend him highly enough! For my first project, I hired him solely to replace the blinds for the lone window in my office. But we are looking at hiring him again this summer for a major project that will involve motorized blinds for many other windows. If need blinds or other window treatments, you don't need to contact anyone else. Just call Seth. You'll be glad you did. :)

Review Date: 05/08/2016 | Author: Martin L.

Comments: Seth, the owner and our service person, was knowledgable and a great, responsible communicator. He did not rush through the job. He went beyond my expectations in extending himself beyond the original project. I would have given him ten stars out of ten if this rating were possible.

Comments: Seth and his partner are great to work with. Very knowledgeable and professional. Wonderful locally owned business. Highly recommended.

Review Date: 04/06/2016 | Author: Mikayla M.

Comments: We would like to say thank you to Seth for the excellent customer service, delivery and the all-around pleasure it has been working with you since ordering our blinds. Our blinds arrived on time, were well packaged, labeled and are beautiful. Seth has been wonderful to work with and we really appreciate how he helped us pick out the perfect blinds for our new office. The installation of the blinds was seamless. Seth was communicative with us about setting up the installation appointment and he was done with the job in two days. For an 8,500 sqft office, it was impressive. Seth was on time and he did what he said he was going to do. We appreciated his professionalism. We are committed to placing future blind orders with Seth and we will also recommend Seth to anyone else that we know. Thank you so much Seth! -Jennifer Cole, Mikayla Meisner and Finance of America Mortgage (formerly Alpine Mortgage Planning)

Comments: Review of Apex Window Fashions I recently had the wonderful experience of working with Apex window fashions. After obtaining four bids for new window treatments I decided to go with Apex because of the following reasons. 1. In my initial look at the different samples the owner Seth was very generous with his time. He took the time to answer all my questions show me a wide variety of treatments available. Showed me various samples of colors and even held them up in my rooms so that I could see how they would look. After deciding on Hunter Douglas and the colors, Seth said, “Think about it for a while and I will have the company send you samples to play with and hold up in your home so that you can be sure of your decision.” This happened and I played with the samples. I called Seth back for the final measurements and was told they would arrive in 2 to 3 weeks. Imagine my joy when they came in within a week. 2. Apex is a company that not only sells window treatments but installs the window treatments. 3. Apex met the lowest bid that I had received for window treatments. 4. During the installation Seth was extremely meticulous in making sure that everything worked properly with my new bottom-up top-down blinds. The colors matched perfectly what I had expected. All and all the work was extremely satisfactory. 5. Seth is an expert in window treatments. In measuring my home for the window treatments he discovered that one of our windows would not remain in an upright position when opened. He shared with us the Milgard Window policy of a lifetime guarantee, and gave us a telephone number to call to receive help. This we did and the window now works perfectly. 5. The last reason I selected Seth was because of his witty personality and his backing of his products. He answers the phone when one calls and is available to make minor repairs or give detailed instructions over the phone. I look forward to working with him in the future when I replace more window treatments.

Comments: Seth, the owner, is very flexible and willing to help solve problems. My blinds were dated---but he was very accommodating and creative!

Comments: We have both been very happy with Seth's work. We hired him to install new shades for our windows. We chose seth because he had such high reviews and because he was local. He did not disappoint. Initially we though we knew what we wanted, but it quickly became clear after talking to Seth that we were heading down the wrong path. He talked to us to understand what our needs really were and then guided us to a much better solution. Seth first came to visit us for a consultation. In this case we had originally been thinking of getting vertical blinds and we were set on that. Seth talked to us to understand our drivers, which were to support portable ACs. Then as we talked through it we realized what would really service all our needs were having 3 honeycomb shades per window (our windows are quite long). During the visit, he brought several samples books with him so we could see all the different styles of shades. Seth was very patient and answered all our questions. We both found him to be extremely knowledgable so we decided to proceed settling on Hunter Douglas room-darkening honeycomb roman shades (6 total). The installation went without a hitch. Set was very communicative to setup the date for installation once the blinds had arrived. He was in and out of our place within a few hours, and the work was done. He was always professional throughout. Over the next few weeks, Seth followed up a few times to see that we were happy with the work something that was unexpected but welcome. I highly recommend Seth / Apex Windows Fashions. He is very reliable, professional, extremely knowledgable, has 27 years of experience and just does great work! A+ from me!

Comments: Seth repaired the cords on my Roman shades. He was very knowledgeable and completed the job quickly and professionally. I'll call him in the future for repairs or new window coverings.

Review Date: 09/21/2015 | Author: Stephanie W.

Comments: Seth repaired the broken cords on our window shades. He repaired them to better than original status, using high quality materials. He provided tips on how to operate the shades to make them last longer. He was fast and professional, as well as very friendly and didn't rush through the job. I would highly recommend him to anyone needing window covering services and will be using him ourselves when we need more blinds and repairs. Thank you Seth!

Comments: We have used Apex Window Fashions for the past 20 years. We have done several renovations to our home over the years and each time we have been delighted with the service given by this company. The service also doesn't stop with the installation of the blinds. We have had various issues associated with the age of our blinds over the years and have needed assistance with repair. Apex has always been there for us. You just can't get service like this often these days.

Review Date: 06/07/2015 | Author: Oliver M.

Comments: I highly recommend Seth for any window treatment-related issues. He's been in the business most of his life and he fixed my electronic roller shades in less than15 minutes, most of which was phone time with the dealer. He quoted me a very reasonable price, too reasonable in fact so I doubled it. Extremely nice guy, straight shooter, A+.

Review Date: 05/11/2015 | Author: Joe M.

Comments: We researched different ideas & companies for blinds. We specifically needed ?black out/insulating? blinds to keep out both hot and cold. We also wanted a very good warranty from the manufacturer. We got a referral from a builder for Seth Blaustein of Apex Window Fashions. We were impressed by the professionalism and honesty of Seth. He arrived exactly on time & spent a long while with us at our ?no obligation? consult offering suggestions and took exact measurements with a ?laser technology? reader. With so many choices we were glad that he made suggestions that were valuable to us for quality products at excellent economic value. We chose to order from Seth as he has 27 years? experience in his field & is very pleasant to work with. He offered us the best quality and economic solution for our window covering requirements. This along with precise measurements & friendly personality were all positive reasons for our selection. We highly recommend you schedule a consult with Seth as he responds quickly to make appointments. He also orders exactly as quoted and keeps you updated on the status of your blind order and shipping expectation. Our blinds arrived quickly, were installed precisely and completely surpassed our expectations. We are extremely happy with this choice.

Comments: We used Apex Windows 20+ years ago in a prior home, and were so impressed by Seth and his work, that, when we needed window coverings for our current home, I immediately looked to see if Apex was still doing windows in our area. Seth is very personable, but not overbearing. He has many years of expertise in window coverings, and gave excellent advice and counsel on the right materials and colors for our room. Apex has a tremendous selection of products from many companies. Seth is always punctual, and does a quick, thorough, skilled installation. We are thrilled with our new window coverings and couldn't be happier with Apex and the service we received.
