Lots of people on the forum have hired them. I met Rick(48 HR) before my design team meeting and am considering working with him. One more estimate should do it!

We used 48 Hour. Cost half as much as buying them from TV with the house and they are a better product. Have a nieghbor who bought from TV and has had ongoing problems with the blinds. 48 installed them within hours of the closing - as promised.

48 hour blinds did an amazing job on our shutters. The workers were in and out in like 20 minutes and left no mess. We were very pleased with the work.

After our designer appt we met with Brad (the son) of 48hr blinds and arranged for plantation shutters and blinds for our new Iris. When he asked how we decided to contact 48hr blinds, I mentioned TOTV and that Gracie recommended it.....

Brad stated that you are responsible for many more people using them as well.

Thanks for the advice, we are pleased with the proposed products and prices.

We also used 48 Hr Blinds. I got to know Rick and he is very pleasant and fun to talk to let alone pulls no punches, which I like. He does what he says, has a quality product, the job was on time, very fast/efficient, clean and the price was MUCH less the TV charges. What I have heard is Rick also does jobs for TV though so that should give you an idea of their "markups" if you go with blinds from TV at your design meeting.

I have called them several times and they just don't return your call. I will never call them again.

I think he is having trouble getting his messages from Verizon. He is good at returning calls when he gets them.
