My wife and I recently went into Mann Kidwell to look at some potential window treatments for our home. We were professionally shown many options that met our desires. They ordered samples which made making the final selection easy. It says something about a company when the owner of the company is the only one that measures the windows before the custom treatments are ordered. There's only one reason the owner would do this--because he is intent that the order fits perfectly and pleases the buyer.

The installers did a fantastic job of installing and adjusting the shades we ordered. During the installation, we noticed the shades did not have the correct valance. The folks at Mann Kidwell quickly ordered the other valences and had them installed quickly and at no cost to us. Great company with great leaders and employees.

You can count on prompt, personal and professional service start to finish on any window treatment project for your home. We have purchased Roman Shades, valances and motorized honeycomb shades for specific sun problem windows in our new home. The owner, Andrew, came to our home to measure, suggest, and discuss our needs. The showroom is beautiful and the office staff, Jen and Gina, are welcoming and friendly while maintaining contact throughout our project process. Installers, Steve M. and Tony, were wonderfully efficient in making sure everything was done to our satisfaction as well as treating our home just like their own. We are so pleased to have found MannKidwell. QUALITY products and QUALITY services!

Mann Kidwell is FANTASTIC from start to finish of their beautiful quality products. We had plantation shutters applied to the front of our house and cellular blinds installed in bedrooms and back of the house windows about a year ago. Everything is excellent quality, holding up perfectly with no problems and with the best customer service anyone could ever ask for. We HIGHLY RECOMMEND!

Working with the staff to schedule my appointment went very smoothly. Mr. Kidwell came and measured, brought some samples, and gave us some great advice. Would highly recommend.
