Brian and his team were very professional, prompt and did a fabulous job with automated silhouettes project we had them do. We had no idea what we were dealing with, as we had existing wiring. Brian identified the room where all the wiring was located, they added a box, cleaned all the wiring up, installed brand new roller shades and hunter douglas silhouettes.
Our new blinds totally transformed the look of our entire home and we couldn't be happier. Pricing was more than fair and the customer service was above and beyond. The job was completed in a timely manner and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend DoctorBlind's to anyone.
Contacted doctorBlind to put shades in our home gym. That were quick, easy and efficient!! The project turned out perfect and was completely painless!
I couldn't be more pleased with the work Dr. Blind did with our motorized solar shades. While the unassuming showroom is not the most glamorous in the area, they more than make up for it with their vast selection and technical expertise.
I was seeking new shades to be retro-fitted into an existing system. Several outlets I visited told me it couldn't be done even though the original installer (now retired) told me that it could. Brian at Dr. Blind not only said that its could, he seemed to welcome the challenge.
He gave me what I thought was a fair price and, most importantly, an accurate timeframe for delivery. As so often happens with any retro-fit, there were surprises at the time of installation resulting from old equipment and older technology. He rose to the challenge, didn't increase our price and the resulting shades have transformed our space.
I highly recommend Dr. Blind and would certainly use them again if the need arises.
Seriously, this business provides fast, courteous and excellent service. Blinds are much more complicated these days with remote control, motors, app's, etc. Brian has deep understanding of options available as well as how the system integrates into home automation. Products offered are excellent too. And he's responsive, timely, professional and creative...love this business!
Doctor Blind is a terrific company with great customer support! I was expecting an out-of-town visitor and needed the blind fixed ASAP in the guest bedroom. They did the repair within 4 days, and now it's better than new! I would happily recommend them to anyone.
Doing business with Brian is a pleasure. He is extremely knowledgeable about his products and delivers a beautiful product which he installed. It looked even better than I expected. I will definitely use his company again and recommend him to anyone needing window or door coverings.
He is excellent in Service, Product Knowledge, and Follow Through. I wish all retailers were like Brian. I recommend him to all my friends and neighbors.
Fantastic and prompt service- couldn't be happier and will go there for all my future repairs and installations.
I cannot say enough about this company.!!! From the receptionist to the owner, who by the way shows up for the sales call, measuring, and are you sitting down? Installation, yes he comes and does all of your installation!!!!! He is a perfectionist, which was perfect, so am I . Funny I knew exactly what I wanted until Brian showed me his book of the latest, and beautiful blinds, that added beauty to our room with energy saving benefits!! But wait there's more!!!!!! When we ordered Hunter Douglas there was a special which was including remotes!!! Get ready for this,,,, maybe sit back down, Brian is really nice, funny, and takes his shoes off when he works, and worked in his stocking feet. If I knew he was going to do that, I would have scrubbed the floors. Seriously, you cannot get better service, knowledge or straightforward help from everyone you talk to than this company !
I had a really wonderful experience with doctorblind. Brought my blinds in to be repaired, after a couple of weeks they let me know that they couldn't fix them. I was a little upset, but when I came to pick them up, there was a check and they were packaged up so nicely. Oh yeah, a check, they wanted to pay for them to be repaired, I never game doctorblind a penny. Long story short, they completed my $65000 silhouette project a about a month ago, absolutely the best experience I've had with a window treatment company. They just put motorized solar shades in my garage to, so very nice. Thank you for everything. Hope others read this.
Really happy with the silhouettes that were installed by brian at doctorblind. their motorized and work really well. definitely will recommend this company to my family and friends. thanks again.
Just had doctorblind install white wood cornices into my condo, they look great. A real pleasure to work with. thx again and I would recommend them to anyone.
After two years, one of my motorized brackets came loose. No problem! Brian was out in a matter of days to fix the problem. The man, and the company, stand behind their work. I highly recommend Dr, Blind!
DoctorBlind installed my vertical blinds yesterday, just wanted to say thank you for such a nice job. I will be happy to refer you to my neighbors. quick, efficient and affordable. thanks again
Had doctorblind come out, needed repairs on my plantation shutters, where I bought them said they could find the invoice so.....whatever. Brian came out, advised what needed to be done, they finished up today..great work! Thank you.
I have used many installers in Sarasota over the years, and I now use only Brian at Doctor Blind. He knows the products well, installs with greater care and security of the product better than any other installer I've used, is dependable, and is very fair in his pricing. In the past three years I have used Brian on several different occasions, often to correct problems of other installers. I give him the highest marks and strongest recommendations.
I purchased my Luminettes from Brian and they just installed them the other day, I see them on the website, and they look even better in person. Brian and company were an absolute pleasure to work with. They installed all four of my Luminettes in about 2 and 1/2 hours, they were quiet and neat. The sheers were measured perfectly and after they left, it looked as if they had never been here! I will definitely recommend Doctorblind (fun name) to my friends. thanks again.
We called a few companies in the area to do a repair. They said they had to take the blind down take it to the shop to fix and bring it back. It would be a charge to take it down ......a charge to have it fixed ....then a charge to put it back. Well over $200 for the fix. Called Dr. Blind explained the situation phone. He knew exactly what was needed to do the fix. came to the house was here for 15 minutes and it only cost about $60. Blind is repaired working fine. Highly recommend this company
My wife and I found Doctorblind through a local networking group and decided to have them come out and quote our new home with blinds. Brian came out, offered some good ideas and gave us a quote, which we were really happy with. The caveat, we needed the blinds installed before Christmas, and this was dec 8th! On Dec. 24th, Brian and his installer came out and installed 17 blinds in our home! my wife and I were absolutely thrilled! We had him install solar shades at our office as well and would highly recommend brian's company to anyone that needs blinds. thank you so much brian!
I live in a condo downtown and was having some problems with my blinds. I called down to the front desk to have a company come out and fix my blinds, and after three calls to the same company, I was unsuccessful. The office accidentally ended up calling doctoblind and spoke to Brian, whom told them that he would be happy to come out and take a look, that very day! He came by, was extremely pleasant and knowledgable, and tried to fix the problems but explained that it would be more costly to try to fix the vertical blinds than to just replace the mechanism. The price was really reasonable, and two days later i had new mechanisms operating my blinds. Thank you so much for your help Brian and company. I will certainly refer you to others in my building.
I highly recommend Brian at DoctorBlind! And I don't write reviews, but my experience was that good!
I bought a condo with blinds in various need of repair and/or replacement.
After meeting with several companies and reading internet reviews, I contacted Brian at DoctorBlind. He arrived on time, was polite, knowledgeable, resourceful, and at my request drew up a plan to repair blinds that others told me I had to replace. So, he saved me a lot of money.
He was also clear about what couldn't be repaired, what could be but might not be worth the money, and a range of other choices I might have. There was never a hard sell. And he was always careful in working around my home; he left my place as he found it. He was immaculate.
As I said, I highly recommend Brian at DoctorBlind!
I called 3 blind companies here in Sarasota on Saturday to see about repairing a vertical blind and had to leave messages for a call back one was with a live person who assured me someone would call me back shortly..... only Brian with Dr Blind called back and it was within 15-20 minutes. He took my info over the phone was very knowledgeable and explained everything in detail regarding the repair as I had described it. I scheduled an appointment for Wednesday and he was very prompt actually a bit early. He was very personable and extremely efficient. He was in and out in about an hour as he had stated when I made the appointment. 5 star service. Thanks Dr Blind
i called doctorblind yesterday about a vertical blind repair, they asked me a couple of questions, and was able to determine the blind that was to be repaired could not be repaired. They had me measure the opening, walked me through it, and gave me a really reasonable price to replace the mechanism and a couple of broken slats. They manufactured it yesterday, they installed it this morning and it looks great. thank you

Brian Baker and HunterDouglas are excellent and always stand by their service and products.
Brian Baker, the owner of Dr Blinds has been very responsive and a pleasure to work with in my new Condo in Downtown Sarasota.
He is a person of his word.
I have recommended him to others all of whom I know have the same opinions as mine.

I used two companies in Sarasota the first one was really bad, so i went onto Doctor Blinds. I read the bad view, and that review was i am sure how that lady felt. You can't judge one review and think that is the way Doctor Blind is run,
Doctor Blind has mostly all great reviews, THE BAD REVIEW ( singular) did not have a perfect day or perfect order. Everything doesn't go right everyday everyday day after day.
So the one client who had a bad experience happened top be the one deal that did not happen they way everyone wanted too.
I had Doctor blind do over $58000 dollars of blinds thru my home and garage. I trusted them because of what happened about year before.
I needed to have some blinds cut down to another size, everyone i called said go to Doctor Blind. So i headed over and dropped off may blinds.
The company was in the middle of moving and it took longer then we both thought it would, Doctor Blind called and said he was so sorry for being late but, the blinds were done and i could pick them up. To my surprise there was no charge for the service because they were late being done, ok so i took the blinds home.
The next surprise was a few days later when i opened the blinds up something fell out of the box, i picked it up and it was a note from Brain saying how sorry he was missing a deadline and he put a $50.00 check in the box for my trouble.
So let me get this Right Brian did not charge me for the work, and gives me a 50.00 check to boot !!!! Wow who does that. Fast forward a year or so I built a new house and need some killer blinds. Guess who i called, Brain i knew i could totally trust him. I wanted the best shades and every blind to go up and down automatically too.
I was totally bummed out when Brian told me Hunter Douglas did not make blinds big enough to cover my 12 ft sliding glass doors.
Brain told me he had an idea how we could get the job done, He called Hunter Douglas and told them i need two more ft to reach the floor, Brian again was told sorry they do not have anything.
Brian wanted to get my home what was needed, so he called Hunter Douglas again and asked if we sign a release that the blinds built the way we wanted would not has any warranty, would they build them, and they said yes. So now i have a totally custom blind sets that Hunter Douglas said would not work, working like a charm, because Brian blind knows his blinds.
It's only because Brian has the years of experience did i get my dream blinds.
You will not find anyone with more experience in this industry, Yes we had problems getting blind but that was because Hunter Douglas if you missed up my order three times, if you want to bitch about anything bitch to Hunter Douglas they have so much business it seemed the customer has to wait for any reaction from them, at the end it all worked out since Brain went to bat for my project that Hunter Douglas said would never work.
I would not waste any of your time thinking Doctor Blind is anything but the best, and yes we all have some deals that go south and you just have to deal with them, look at Doctor Blinds reviews, they are all good but that one bad day, do not count yourself short when looking for blinds call Doctor Blinds

DR BLINDS is without a doubt the best blind company in the Sarasota area! My wife and I have purchased their products and services numerous times throughout the years, have recommended Dr. Blinds to our friends and will no doubt be life-long customers. As other reviewers have more eloquently described, Brian, the President and owner, is a "hands-on," perfectionist, supervising the blind installations personally to ensure the highest quality and complete customer satisfaction. In fact, it is most refreshing to see this level of customer service, eye toward detail and provision of quality product, provided by a local business these days. Considering the high-quality, meticulous installations, using the latest blind styles and technology, Dr Blinds prices are surprisingly affordable and the most competitive we could find--a true bargain when one considers the quality of product provided as well as the excellent customer service! As the vast majority of these reviews indicate, i.e., I saw only one review which was less than excellent and most complimentary (but it appeared as though there may have been no pleasing that particular customer!), Dr. Blinds does whatever it takes to ensure a satisfied customer. Therefore, judging from our experience as well as the numerous others who have provided stellar reviews, you will not be disappointed with the quality, service and prices of Dr Blinds.

We just had doctorblind install hunter douglas duettes in our home, 13 in total. I cannot believe the difference in the temperature of the rooms. Brian was our consultant and he hit in spot on! Color was perfect, he recommended the architella and he was right. From the initial consultation to final delivery, a really great experience. Total time from start of order to install 17 working days.

Brian and Amanda were both very friendly and professional. They ensured that I got exactly what I wanted for a great price. The entire process of choosing a style was smooth and easy as was the installation. A great local company, very glad I worked with them.
