Products we no longer repair. :(
Most of the products on the list have been repaired by us in the past but we have decided not to work on these products anymore.
Blame it on the pandemic.
Blame it on unavailability of replacement parts.
Blame it on an overflow of "not designed to be repaired" products.
Whatever the reason, we have decided to stop repairing the following list of window coverings.
We expect this list to grow as new disposable products continue to flood the market.
❌ Plastic headrail blinds.
If your blind has a plastic headrail then that is the first sign that it is the Ready-Made variety and not designed to be repaired.
❌ Ready-Made (off-the-shelf) blinds.
They are not always plastic headrails but they are not designed to be repaired and even when they can be repaired, it is usually more expensive than a replacement.
❌ Norman brand cordless restrings.
Norman is usually pretty good about putting their name on the bottomrail.
If you have a Norman "cordless" that won't operate, our advice is to shop for a replacement instead of trying to get it repaired.
❌ Norman De-Light restrings (tiny hole in back of slat).
These wood blinds (or faux woods) are so hard to restring that the repair cost outweighs the replacement cost.
❌ Norman Smart-Fit restrings or cut-downs.
They can be restrung but we recommend putting the money towards a different product instead. You will thank us later.
❌ De-lam / fabric gluing or taping.
When the pleats of a honeycomb shade start coming apart in the front or back (or both) it is time to buy a replacement shade.
❌ Wood or Faux Wood slat or bottomrail replacement or gluing.
We used to be able to get replacement slats for an affordable price but recently, the manufacturers have made it so expensive that it no longer cost effective - in fact, prohibitive!
❌ RV Shades
We no longer restring RV shades because we can't reliably get replacement parts, and the end caps and other parts are so important to the operation and longevity of the cords. There are some other shops out there still repairing them so look one of them up on your next road trip. It'll be an adventure!
