I just had planation shutters put in by 48 Hr. Blind. Rick was very helpful and
even took me to another home he did to see the quality and finished shutters
so I knew how the finished product would look. His workers very professional
and cleaned up afterwards and Rick called me to make sure I was happy. He is a very nice person to work with and always took the time to return all my calls. I would recommend 48 Hr. Blind and Rick and would definitely use them again.

Rick installed our plantations shutters as well. He came to our home while we were building and then took measurements so that he could install our shutters the same day we closed.

He also took me through one of his homes so that I could see what they would look like and get an idea of the color as I was using the same colors as the home I viewed.

I highly recommend him and would use him again in a heartbeat!

We just ordered from Rick. I agree, he is very good. He put up temporary blinds in our bedroom and had vertical blinds installed the next day on the 6 sliders to the lanai at no charge with the order for the shutters. He exceeded my expectations.

He hasn't returned my calls

Rick is very concerned for his customers satisfaction. And I believe he is also a victim of his own fame. His one on one time is getting spread thin.

I have seen his business prosper and grow since Ruth and I wandered into the " Pink House" in Wildwood last July. Yes I have been in ' The House"

Rick did a great job for our home. Helped with choices and provided options that we would have never considered. What I liked was how he worked with us long distance.

I just hope his Big Heart can handle the Huge demand for his service.

Did you try 48 hour's e-mail? I looked at his cell one day at our home while he was measuring and said.

Rick you better hire my wife to take the incoming. Your getting way busy .

Rick at 48 Hrs Blinds installed plantation shutters in all the windows in our new Iris. He (and his installallers) is wonderful. I found the best time to call Rick was between 8:00am & 9:00am before he gets tool busy.

Rick takes the time to do the job well. He is fairly priced and his team are professional through and through.

Rick from 48-Hour Blinds installed plantation shutters throughout my home in "Swimdawg South". I have plantation shutters in "Swimdawg North" as well....and Rick's prices were much lower than what I paid for my home up north...and they are the SAME brand.

I just had Rick measure and quote me a price to do the windows in my sunroom. The quote seems excessive. Did you compare his prices to others in the Villages?

Hahaha. I had the same situation with Rick. When we finally did get together, he showed me his cell phone. It was 2:00 in the afternoon and he already had 68 voice mails. He just is so busy right now he can't follow-up on his messages. Just be persistent or stop into the Pink House in Wildwood. He is a great guy and has a very good product with great service and price.

I shopped his price. It was very good considering the quality.

Rick from 48 hour blinds just installed our plantation shutters. They look great! Rich and his crew were here on time and it only took a little over an hour to install them. I have ordered vertical blinds for the sliders and more shutters for another room in my house. Rick says he is extremely busy and going great guns! He must be doing something right. I would recommend him.

Need your opinion, why did you go with vertical blinds and not sliding shutters?

I can answer that question because we came to the same conclusion. I was quoted $4500 for the shutters over the sliders by another dealer and Rick gave me the verticals for free with the order for shutters for the other windows. Also, when you dig into it, choosing the shutters for slider doors is inherent with disadvantages, depending on which configuration you choose. We have a terrific view out our sliders and don't want it blocked was one of them. Durability was another. I'm not saying shutters on sliders are wrong for everyone. We went into the process planning to have them and we are very happy we didn't get them.
