I recently opened a brand new fixer upper shop for my business in San Gabriel. I found John online, and he was very responsive, polite and professional. His rates are reasonable, and he installed the blinds on the schedule that he had promised.
I would definitely use him again in the future!
Thanks, John!!!!

I had Budget Blinds dress 14 windows with pull up blinds recently. Turn around time was great and the windows look fantastic. The installers were very aware and careful of my stuff. I would use Budget Blinds again.

It is a year or more, and I have a love hate relationship with my blinds. The horizontal blinds for the windows are good and easy to clean and operate, although one of them has a short control string so I have to raise my heels to operate it. Not sure why they made it so short all of a sudden. But the vertical blind for the patio is really annoying. It is quite durable all right, but the spacing between the blinds changes with pull and twist of the control strings and the blinds fail to maintain their distance between each other such that sometimes one is turned in the wrong angle and it became impossible to close the blinds until I flipped it back. Also it has become impossible to totally close the blinds altogether for full privacy as the blinds were slightly concave instead of flat. It is worst than my old blinds which I was trying to improve. I ended with a costly monster that I struggle everyday. John said I should upgrade the rails to higher performance ones. I will remember this for my next blind.

They do keep out the air a little if you let them close. I also found out they cannot be adjusted unless the bottom is not sitting down on the window ledge. I have one large vertical blind for the patio. I must say I am a little disappointed in this one. The blinds do not close right as they are concave and not flat, and as a result of opening and closing, the individual pieces may shift a little off each other, something turn in the wrong direction and then the blind is not closable until I flip the pieces into the right direction. So if you are considering vertical blinds, better have a serious discussion with John before getting it. The blind pieces are quite durable; my cat has not been able to break one even after bending it.
Mar 3, 2020Previous reviewAfter checking around to replace some of my blinds, I contacted John Sun of Budget Blinds. I did end up replacing all but one blind (I forgot to let him know about one room). The blinds were installed today by his very professional installers. The quality of the PVC blinds are very good. The curve of each blind gives a bit of privacy than straight blinds and the blinds are water resistant. I see water drops hanging on the blinds instead of overflowing. I really like their "fabric" and shiny reflective look. My sister said just one blind change brightens up the kitchen. John also came by to check the final product. Cleaning seems easy by vacuum and wiping. One of my cats immediately sprayed on one of the blinds but I just cleaned it up with pet urine cleaner. Will have to see how the cats behave when getting around them to the windows.

We had a great experience they had a lot of choices in patterns, colors, material and shades styles.
John our consultant was so kind and always came out to meet us either at our old residence or new home. He was fast and didn't make us wait days in btwn our consultations.
The final product was installed super quick and they look beautiful, see my photos.
John deserves 5 stars but Budget Blinds 4 stars the only thing i didnt like was that the small windows have 2 cords which is weird so basically one side goes up with one cord and vice versa. I just wish they all had 1 cord per roman shade.
I hope to work with John again in the future hes awesome!Helpful 0Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0 - Sandy H.Arcadia, CA011Sep 10, 2021
Do not order products from Budget Blinds. Their quality of my blinds are very poor.
In May 2020 I ordered vertical blinds cost over $1,100 from San Gabriel location of Budget Blinds. In August 2020 The blinds were installed. In January 2021 the fabric of the valance separated. The Budget Blinds replaced and installed a new valance at no cost. They were responsible at that time. However, the blinds were only good for 5 months. In August 2021 the valance's fabric separated again. I contacted them and was told they will replace a new valance but I have to pay the shipping $60 plus the installation $79. I asked them what would happen if the problem appears again and was told I have to keep paying every time they replace the valance.
This is very frustrating and disappointing. It appears to me that the product is of poor quality and should not be sold. Instead of compensating me for the product falling apart this company wants me to keep paying every few months.Helpful 1Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0 - Amber C.Monrovia, CA03Jun 24, 2022
We were so pleased AGAIN with the plantation shutters we got through Budget Blinds Monrovia. First time around was for our living room. Second time around for home office and guest room. Andres was again very professional in every step of the process. He again worked around our schedules and was very accommodating. The estimate again he gave was spot on from ordering to delivery and installation. He again was always readily available by phone or text for any questions we may have had. We were able to get expert Todd on our second install. We will definitely recommend Budget Blinds to our friends and family.

I have known John Sun, owner of Budget Blinds, for nearly 10 years and have not only referred him to clients of mine but have used him for my own home.
I never have to worry when I refer him as I know he will be extremely honest and professional and will work with what is best for the client rather than just trying to sell product. My clients have been so impressed with him and with his products.
He is also great with communication and follow-through, keeping you updated as to delivery, etc.
In addition his installers are excellent.
John even helped with an older blind issue that was not even one that I had purchased from him! He truly goes above and beyond - and he is also very involved in the community - which is how I first met him.
I wish every business person I have dealt with was as reliable and professional as John.Helpful 0Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0 - Joanne C.Arcadia, CA57Jan 8, 2019

I had such a great experience with John from Budget Blinds, that we called him back for another room in our house.
Once again, John came by, asked what we were looking for and he made suggestions of what he thought would look good. We looked through the book and his suggestions and once again his recommendations was the best choice for our room!
We got a call back that the blinds were ready in about 2 weeks and they were installed right after that.
We are very happy with John's service and the quality of the blinds.Helpful 0Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0Jul 24, 2017Previous reviewI'm a little late in my review, but I wanted to share my experience with John, from Budget Blinds of San Gabriel. I did my order in June/July 2015.
John did the window coverings for our 3 bedrooms and our master bathroom area, after we just remodeled our custom home.
We told him what we were looking for and he made different suggestions that would work for our windows and furniture.
Once we picked out the blinds we wanted, he told us the price which was well within other estimates we had received. One of the things we liked about John was he give us different options, that worked within our budget.
He said when the blinds would be ready and it was right on time! (Factory made blinds to order, with no hiccups.)
Not only was the installer professional, but the installer went out of his way to explain how the blinds worked and what we needed to do to keep them working for years.
This was done on time and on budget! No surprises.
John called us after the installation was done and made sure we were happy with our choices for our blinds.
Not only were we happy, but we get compliments all the time on how they look. They look even better than we expected from the outside and made our house look even better.
This job was done after our custom remolding to our house to finish off all our updates. Our contractor even said they did a great job with our blinds!
I would recommend John again and I will use him with another project I have planned in
a few years.
John will take good care of you, he took care of us! Thank you John!
