Marlon B.
First time hiring a company to install window treatments(shades). Was definitely skeptical about paying someone to do something I could probably have done. However, I am more than happy I did with Fifty Shades as it was a very positive experience. Friendly and professional gentleman who I understand is the owner and installer. Always returned calls promptly and arrived on time to our appointments. The samples he had available were beautiful but I went with something economical for my apartment rental. Installation was done quickly and has certainly turned out looking very clean. I would use him again in the future. Thanks for the good job.
