Meet the Founder
We're inspired by California style, and obsessed with making homes beautiful one room at a time, while earning every five-star review.
After buying custom window coverings ourselves, we saw the gaps: bait-and-switch quotes, outsourced installers, and showrooms that made you drive across town just to feel pressured. So we built something different. A full-service window treatment business focused on real expertise, transparent pricing, and the unsurpassed experience our customers actually deserve.

Fantastic experience from quote to install. Their customer service is unmatched and even the products they had available to choose were better quality/more to choose from. The install team was fast and professional and we love how it all turned out. Will be going back to them for all future shade related needs and will recommend to anyone in need. Blew the big name companies out of the water.Posted on Google![]()

Paulo, Kenny, and Gerardo were nothing short of amazing. From beginning to end, communication was top notch. Kenny and Paulo came out to patiently walk us through the quote process – answer all of our questions, accommodating our requested modifications, and applying zero pressure to purchase. They really made us feel comfortable during every step of the way. Communication throughout the holidays was prompt and effective, and the ensuing installation was a breeze. The installation was fast, efficient, clean, and hassle-free. We are extremely happy with the shades and the experience overall, and would not hesitate to recommend California Shades to anyone at all.Posted on Google![]()

Right from the start, Kenny was amazing! I try to keep a very clean home and when Kenny saw I didn’t wear shoes in my home he asked if he should remove his, which I really appreciated. That just showed me immediately that he was caring and considerate towards his customers. He showed me samples of blinds, gave great suggestions, and took window measurements. He was very understanding, easy to talk to, and went above and beyond to get me a good deal. Throughout the whole process, Kenny was always available to answer any questions I had and always responded right away from start to finish. Geraldo did a great job installing the blinds. He was fast, clean and meticulous. How he did it so quickly while installing them straight just shows he has lots of experience. Kenny helped assist and move furniture, cleaned and tested the blinds and made sure everything went smoothly. I was recovering from a third surgery so I was worried about furniture being in the way. They moved everything and after moved it back. They made the installation process so easy for me and they worked well together. I would definitely recommend California Shade. They said that even after installation, if anything goes wrong I can contact them in the future, which shows that they aren’t just about the sale, but that they care about their customers. Definitely deserve 5 stars!Posted on Google![]()

Paul is outstanding! He is knowledgeable about his product, installation, and precautions. I installed outdoor roller shades in my California room. He was ingenious in problem-solving evident through the smart way by which to run the electrical line. He is professional, courteous, and responsive! Two thumbs up! What are you waiting for?

Paul came over to my house and was super knowledgeable about different types of shades/shutters that worked well in my house. He came with lots of samples and showed us what worked well in each room. He is super friendly. Family owned business. Ordered everything and as promised 4-6 weeks later we got our order. His 2 installers came on time as scheduled and installed everything. Damon and Gerardo installed everything professionally and cleaned up everything once they were done. Look no further and support local.Posted on Google![]()

I decided on California Shade to replace the worn shades in my condo. They delivered a first-class experience, start to finish. Paul helped me pick the right products for the look and functionality I wanted and the installers did a perfect job. I couldn't be happier with my decision!
