“Brent came to our home to give an estimate of the cost to clean badly stained silhouette, bedroom blinds and also to determine which cleaning method would give the best result, on-site or in-store.  He was very prompt. The blinds had set-in stains from smoking and also water stains from leaving the windows open when it rained.  He opted to clean the blinds in the store.  Because the blinds were so badly stained he said he could not guarantee all the stains would come out. (He could have opted to clean on-site which is more expensive).  He removed the blinds and called a few hours later to say they were done!  He reinstalled the blinds and the results were absolutely amazing.  ALL STAINS WERE GONE!  The blinds looked brand new.  I really thought the blinds were beyond help, but Brent worked miracles.  We could not be happier and would absolutely recommend Bright Blinds.  Brent was punctual, courteous, professional and I expected to pay much more for such outstanding work!”

“We are very happy with the repair and the speedy response.”

“This is my first Angie’s List experience and the reason I joined was to get a referral for blind cleaning.  I couldn’t be more satisfied with this transaction.  Brent returned my email immediately, then called to make an appointment at my convenience.  He was prompt, removed his shoes at the door and proceeded to quickly do his thing.  He was personable and gave me an Angie’s List discount.  I am so happy with his terrific customer service skills, which aren’t found every day.”

“Brent did a great job cleaning four white Duette blinds.  He also did a few minor repairs.  He was professional and prompt, and flexible to work with when an appointment time change was needed.  I definitely plan to use him again for future cleaning needs.”

“Brent arrived on time. He was very efficient in replacing the cord. Because of that, I asked if he could take a look at the second blind that needed straightening.  He did that, also.  He was pleasant and curious.  I will definitely have him back if I have repair needs in the future.”

“Consistent service as reported in other reports: returned phone call promptly; professional; quick appointment to pick up the blinds; restrung in his shop; and came back to hang 3 days later. Consulted and offered different options. Raising and lowering the blinds are working properly now. Worth the cost to extend the lifespan.”

“1) All telephone calls were returned in a timely manner. 2) Great advice given. In example: a) repair job in bedroom was going to be $50 and I decided since that room is rarely used, not to go ahead with that minor repair. b) Brent advised that due to the age of my blinds, it was risky to clean them because they might not make it through the cleaning process. Decided not to clean as redecorating is in the future. c) Brent spent over an hour on what I had booked as a ‘restringing job’ of the bathroom blinds. HE WOULD NOT CHARGE ME ANYTHING FOR HIS PROFESSIONAL WORK because, although he ended up correcting the previous work on the blinds, he said because it was not a restring job that he had to do, he felt he couldn’t charge me. 3) Wow. Knowledgeable, professional, honest.” 

“After 22 years I decided to have my blinds cleaned. I found Bright Blinds through Angie’s List. I did not know what to expect as these blinds were old. I can say that I was completely amazed at the results. My blinds look like new again. I would recommend Bright Blinds to anyone who is looking to have their blinds cleaned. Five Star!!”

“Brent promptly returned my call (I had mentioned that I was an Angie’s List member).  He answered all my questions, asked me the sizes of my blinds, and then quoted me his standard price per blind dependent upon size–less a 10% Angie’s List discount.  He scheduled my appointment to accommodate my out-of-town guests arriving the following week; and he agreed to turn my job around in a single day so that I wouldn’t be left with exposed windows throughout my townhouse overnight.  I felt that he was going to great lengths to see that I was happy at the end of the day.  He arrived on time, then efficiently removed my blinds with a marking system that allowed him to rehang them correctly when he returned.  He was personable and friendly, and chatted with us about his other job (he’s a St. Paul firefighter), his cleaning method (this process uses sound waves), and how he got into this business (watching his mother one day trying to clean her blinds in the bathtub).  He didn’t want payment until he returned and had a satisfied customer, and I was happy to oblige by giving him a check rather than a credit card. He had warned me over the phone about the possibility of oxidation and/or paint removal on my 30-year-old blinds, and he repeated those warnings that morning.  I appreciated his concern, but I assured him that I would be thrilled just to have my blinds back perfectly clean.  And Bright Blinds certainly did just that!”

“Very very well. The fabric blinds look like new. All bug spots, etc were successfully removed.”

Perfectly.

“Brent Ricketson, owner of Bright Blinds cleaned and repaired a dozen of our 17 year old Hunter Douglas Honeycomb shades and they look and work like new! Brent was prompt, considerate and respectful. I would enthusiastically recommend Brent and Bright Blinds to anyone.”
