Homier Views with Budget Blinds

Whether its natural wood blinds, Nantucket-style shutters, or top of the line shades, Budget Blinds has window coverage for every occasion and family.

“Our tag line is style and service for every budget,” said franchise owner, Brian Benson. “We do jobs as small as one window and jobs as big as about 40.”

Together with wife, Lee, the power couple use their entrepreneurial skills right to your door with free, no-obligation, in-home consultations. Living under the corporate franchise umbrella allows the pair to keep up to date on the latest trends, styles and color palettes.

“We serve all the Grosse Pointes, St. Clair Shores, Eastpointe, Harper Woods and the East English Village part of Detroit,” Benson said.

Whether you know what you’re looking for or need a designer eye, they can help.

The pair pride themselves on their ability to offer the widest range of products and unbeatable quality and value from name brand manufacturers around the world such as Norman Shutters, Phase II, Thomas Hicks, Lutron, Fabricut and their own Signature Series, Enlightened Style and Inspired Drapes drapery brands.

“I see more people are asking for products that are made in the United States, because of the corona virus issue. And we do work with manufacturers that do produce everything in the united States, like Hunter Douglas and Lafayette.

“It’s nice to be able to say, ‘We can get these to you in 2 weeks and they’re made in the United States,” Benson said.

An added benefit of shopping with the local blinds business is that customers are also giving back to the community with every purchase, the Bensons said,

A percentage of the proceeds go to local programs like the Grosse Pointe South and North athletic programs, the Grosse Pointe Theater and allow the Benson couple to participate as members of the the Grosse Pointe Chamber of Commerce.

It’s Budget Blind pro-community culture that inspired the couple to launch their own business in 2018.

Lee Benson said, “We wanted to be part of an organization, in term of their culture, supported giving back the community.

“But the bottom line is, we stand behind everything we sell and install. We were initially customers of budget blinds, so we also had an appreciation for the quality of product and the value. In the unlikely event that something goes wrong, we will follow up with them,” she said.

A 30-day service guarantee comes with each order. Moreover, Budget Blinds offers a 5-year, no-questions-asked warranty exclusively to Budget Blinds customers on all types of shades, blinds and shutters.

If you’re not satisfied with the installation and need Brian or Lee to come back, they’re not far. The company is located at 1698 Hollywood, Grosse Pointe Woods.

If you’re happy with the service you receive, let your friends know. The Bensons consider a recommendation the best compliment they can receive and offer a referral program. You’ll receive a gift valued at $50 or more every time you recommend a friend or family member and they place an order.
