      I came across viu windows during my search for blinds installation a couple of months back. Gladys was the third company that gave me a quote and Viu windows was the most decently price out of the three options I had.

      Gladys arrive for the appt on time and was able to give me a quote right there and then which was pretty amazing. I believe in 24 or 48 hours we signed our contract and paid our down payment which was 50% and it was pretty much a waiting game from there for our custom blinds to come in.

      I think we ordered the blinds around may or June and they installed it in August.

      Gladys installer called me the day before stating that our blinds have arrived and is ready for installation. He immediately gave me an appt for the following day and it took them maybe 45 mins maybe less to install the blinds.

      One thing I really appreciated with Gladys was she was very understanding. I resigned from my job and my funds wasn't gonna be available until a couple of weeks after the day they were trying to install the blinds. Gladys was very understanding and I immediately paid my balance once I got my funds and they still installed my blinds even though I didn't pay right away.

      I absolutely love my blinds. It made my home look very spacious. I will definitely order the rest of my blinds from Viu windows and highly recommend this amazing business.

      The quality of the blinds is really amazing and I'm glad that Gladys gave some suggestions based from what I told her I liked.

      Had a great experience with Viu Window and Home to install roller blinds on my west facing window. Gladys is pleasant to work with, responsive, informative, yet not pushy. Installation was super smooth. Highly recommended.

      Gladys, the owner of the business, was amazing to work with. From the initial consultation to installation, she was patient, responsive and very accommodating.

      With her help, we were able to install a set of shutters for a trapezoidal window, and the result is just stunning. We had a mini hiccup during delivery regarding the colors, but Gladys was quick to resolve it, and certainly went above and beyond.

      I would highly recommend anyone looking for window coverings to go with this company.

      Gladys did it again! We couldn't be happier with Viu Windiw & Home. We are returning customers who needed a new vinyl shutters after remodeling our bathroom. Gladys was there to get us going and even beat her own estimate of arrival. The new shutters looks great.
      We can't wait to use Viu Window & Home again.

      I enjoyed working with Gladys, she came to the house and guided me on new shutters and 3 glass doors patio blinds, she was very informative and very very nice.
      We ended up getting NORMAN wooden shutters and HUNTER DOUGLAS motorized roll up blinds. The price was very reasonable compared to previous estimates, the wait was within time frame and installation was professional.
      I highly recommend working with Gladys I'm glad I did. Thank you Gladys.

      I've worked with Gladys on two homes. Both times she provided great service and feedback.

      For the first home, half of the house had plantation shutters installed by another company that carried Norman Shutters. Since that business closed, I had Gladys come out to provide an estimate on the remaining half of the house during our remodel. She was able to match the style and color of our existing plantation shutter at a similar price as the original installer.

      For our second home, we had several large windows and she provided great feedback on what would look great for the new house. We've loved the results and have no regrets with her suggestion!

      Last but not least, our new home had existing Hunter Douglas motorized shades. Recently we ran into some issues with the motors. Although she did not do the installation, she was able to help give us guidance on troubleshooting the blinds and got us in the right direction for servicing our shades. She provides top-notch service and is always available to help. Highly recommended!

      Well, shame on me. I've been working with Gladys since 2013 when we moved into our condo and I could've sworn I had done a review already. We found her on Yelp and liked her from our first meeting. Gladys was understanding of our budget and didn't try to upsell or make us feel bad when we didn't put plantation shutters on all our windows (there were three big windows that had wooden plantation shutters and she said that they were high enough that one couldn't really tell they were different from the newer ones). Upon installation, our home looked even better! Being in a hilly neighborhood, a strange thing happened with our shutters for the patio. Gladys came by to check it out herself and sent out her installer a couple of times, no questions asked, when we called to let her know it was still being wonky. I took it for granted that it was part of customer service but realize now that she could have just brushed us off. Gladys cares about her clients and her products, holds her business in high regard, so she wants to make everything is good.
      When we moved again a few years later, we immediately called Gladys and she advised us again, based upon our budget. Besides a house alarm, window dressings were a top priority because we felt like we were in a fishbowl. With her expertise, Gladys helped us make sure everything looked cohesive yet helped us save money by suggesting alternatives to shutters for our windows facing the back. I actually love the vertical blinds she suggested for our patio doors instead of shutters! We chose large blinds for our non-front facing windows and, as someone who loves plantation shutters, I'm so glad we went with them. Gladys helped us make all our windows and patio doors look great without breaking the bank. And she is still there for us years later when there are repairs needed just by regular wear and tear (it's not free but it's a minimal cost which I appreciate because we want it done right). So of course when we added an extension recently, we called upon Gladys again because we knew she would do right by us. I highly recommend Viu WIndow & Home.

      Look no further if you're purchasing shutters. Gladys is responsive, respectful, knowledgable, and has years of experience in the industry. I'm very particular about who we do business with and Gladys hits the pitches every time. You will not be disappointed. We have purchased thousands of dollars worth of shutters and will continue to do business with Gladys for any future shutter or window covering needs. She is genuinely nice and is a pleasure to talk with. Her installer is just as nice too and he did a great job.

      We had a great experience working with Gladys at Viu Window and Home and highly recommend working with her. We have Eichler windows (with trapezoid upper windows) and were told by others there wasn't a good solution and that we'd have to obstruct our view in order to have shades on the upper windows. But Gladys looked at our windows and told us right away we had to find a solution that wouldn't ruin our beautiful view and she found one! We now have beautiful honeycomb remote controlled shades that work with our trapezoid windows. They take up so little room it's hard to notice they're there when the shades are open so the view isn't obstructed by unwieldy shades. Gladys was also a true pleasure to work with--super kind and very responsive. Recommend her highly!

      I had my window shades replaced by Viu windows four years ago. I'm writing a positive review now because I just got my actual windows replaced, and I had a lot of trouble taking down the shades in preparation. I called and they were not only able to look up my purchase and email me the instructions of how to install/uninstall, but when I still couldn't figure things out, Gladys got in touch with one of their installers and he came by to take care of taking the shades off. Great service!
