Had Kathy and Rick install our plantation shutters in Sept of 2017.They were wonderful to deal with. To this day almost 6 years ago they look new. We have relatives that will be purchasing a home soon in our area and I would highly recommend Kathy and Rick to do their window treatments. Was happy to hear they are still in business.

We had plantation shutters and several vertiglides installed in our home last month. We are very happy with the result! Kathy is an expert at what she does. Her recommendations ended up transforming the look of our house! Cory did an excellent job with the installation. We would definitely highly recommend Blinds Galore and More!

Purchasing our new home in Venice, I promised myself everything would be new and of the highest quality. We had plantation shutters and a vertiglide installed last week and they have made our home so beautiful and welcoming.

Extremely satisfied with our purchase! We were in the market for Plantation Shutters. They came to our house within 24 hours, took the measurements, gave us the quote on the spot (very fair pricing) and they were installed within 1 week! They even installed temporary window coverings for free so that we weren't living in a "fish bowl" while waiting for our new shutters. The shutters are beautiful and very high quality! Made in the USA of the finest quality materials. Great craftsmanship and dust free! If you're in the market for any type of window covering, I highly suggest skipping the big box stores and letting this family owned and operated business meet your needs! Thanks Kathy and Rick!

I did my homework...I questioned a lot of companies and researched a lot of products. So many are made in China, made of cheap plastic or hollow. Some companies advertise major brands and then come out with inferior substitutes. I asked all the right questions and, in the end, Blinds Galore was the best product and the price was extremely fair. Installation was flawless and I'm confident that I made a great decision. Thanks Kathy for all your help!! I know that I was a bit of a pest with all my questions but you had all the right answers. Buying a true "Made in America" product from a family run business is the best. Oh, and by the way...they installed in 10 days!!
Fantastic family run business that I would be proud to support and happy to recommend!

Most importantly they have extremely high standards for their own work and they have an uncommon an obsession for delivering the best possible value for every customer.

We are very happy with the quality and service we received on our plantation blinds and door sliders. The installers were very prompt and did an excellent job. And the prices quoted by Blinds Galore are very competitive.
Review by Beth Jones-We are new residents in the area and knew we wanted plantation shutters due to the mostly western orientation of all the windows in our villa. But who should we buy them from? After reading ALL the reviews online, it was overwhelmingly apparent that Blinds Galore was the winner, hands down. And from my first conversation on the phone with Kathy, I understood why. It is a DELIGHT when you have the opportunity to do business with someone who is not only EXCELLENT at what they do, but PASSIONATE about going above and beyond in service to their customers! From installing paper blinds at the measuring appointment, to coming back to measure an additional window after moving boxes were removed, to the very prompt delivery, to the meticulous installation and clean up by Rick and Diane, the customer service can’t be beat! PLUS all the local vendors and professionals that Kathy has recommended for other needed services is priceless. We are thrilled with the beauty and quality of our shutters, and our experience with this wonderful family business. So happy our paths crossed! Thank you Kathy, Rick, Charlotte and Diane!
Love, love, love our new plantation shutters!The quality is amazing & the install was superb!Such an AWESOME Team - Kathy & Rick took care of our place like it was their own home! We are absolutely thrilled with the transformation by upgrading to plantation shutters & could not be happier with Kathy’s expertise in helping us choose the best option for our home & explaining the difference between good shutters & THE BEST!Rick took great care with our install & is quite the craftsman as we had a few challenging areas to install! Plus, Char & Diane were right there organizing, preparing installing & polishing! Thank you ALL so very much!If you are considering a big box store for shutters or blinds, I urge you to call Kathy instead! The quality cannot be matched, they carry a lifetime warranty & they are made in the USA!Best Choice Ever!
We are as thrilled with Kathy & Rick as we are with our Plantation Shutters and Vertiglides meticulously installed today. We had read multiple company online reviews before making our free estimate appointments with 3 different businesses. From our initial call we knew Kathy could not and would not be out done. We more or less just got out of the way as Kathy & Rick walked through our home measuring and deciding what would function best, and also enhance what we wanted, and what fit best with our home decor and lifestyle. Not only did we have an estimate in hand before they walked out the door, but Kathy & Rick also shared a plethora of helpful information about the community we had just moved into. We were confident in Kathy's knowledge of window treatments, the product's construction, pricing, and the installation process. When I say meticulously installed I mean, Rick & assistant Charlotte, laid down padding to protect our floor, vacuumed all drill fragments, wiped off each panel on each shutter, used a flashlight to check for any flaws....., and completely finished up in an amazingly brief time! We have nothing but rave reviews for Blinds Galore And More, Kathy & Rick (& Charlotte)!
We are new to the area so needless to say, we did some shopping around for our window treatments. We love to deal with local business owners so we called Blinds Galore and More. We were immediately impressed with Kathy's knowledge and experience in her field. We also love that the installation is done by Rick. Nothing like a family owned business who sells the product and installs it as well. Reputation is everything to Kathy and Rick. We are pleased with their professionalism and their perfectionism. So glad that we came across each other's paths.
We contacted Kathy for our plantation shutters because of the many impressive reviews. Needless to say, we weren’t disappointed. Now we are part of their fan club as well. Kathy and Rick are perfectionist who have quality products. We love that they are made in the USA. They are genuinely friendly, patient and caring people who went above and beyond to meet our needs. We will be using them again.
Kathy and Rick are fabulous! Quality product, super efficient, superior installation! The shutters and honeycomb shades are absolutely beautiful, my husband and I love them! I highly recommend them! I also want to mention their assistants, Charlotte and Diane, great people!
Impossible is not in Kathy’s vocabulary. My husband and I were convinced we’d have to settle with plain window coverings (or nothing at all) in our mid century modern home that has a combination of jalousie windows and hurricane doors that are difficult to deal with. Within minutes of meeting Kathy and Rick I knew our worries were over. Kathy listened to our wishes and came up with a custom design using shutters and blinds that look beautiful in our home. Our order was placed, delivered and installed quickly and Kathy has been incredible about following up making sure everything is just right. I am so pleased with my experience and would recommend Kathy, Rick and their team of experts to anyone!
This is the second time I have used this vendor in two years. Great response in coming out to measure us up for blinds and shutters. Had some real good solutions to some of our problems. Ordered plantation shutters this time and they came in only ten days. They installed them today and did an outstanding job. Would hire them again in a heartbeat.
We are so very happy to have contracted with Kathy to install Vertiglides on our two sets of sliders in our new home! Kathy is so knowledgeable and personable. She helped us select the perfect product. Her installation 'team' Rick and Charlotte are exceptional. They make sure the job is done to perfection. Excellent communication throughout. Will be using Kathy again when we are ready for some Plantation shutters.😊
We recently bought a new home. I was referred to Kathy at Blinds Galore and More by my friend who was very happy with her plantation shutters and vertiglide blinds. Kathy was very helpful by answering my questions about plantation shutters, so I scheduled a meeting. Her and Rick came to our home after i needed to cancel our first appointment at the last minute due to a medical issue. They brought their samples and described the quality in the products she sold. We were very happy and placed an order. Kathy suggested we cover our windows as we were leaving town and placed paper covers up until our shutters arrived. They hung our shutters when we were out of town, and knowing how excited we were to see them, sent us many pictures as they were installed. Two products that arrived were not up to Kathy's standards, so she promptly returned them and had replacements installed when we were back home. Rick and his helper were here to install the rest. They installed them, and were quick to make sure everything was perfect! They then made sure to clean up anything left behind in the install. We are extremely happy with the quality and all of Kathy's service. I would highly recommend her to anyone considering shutters. Oh wait, I already did refer them to friends who have also ordered from Kathy. She is great!
8/19/19 We rearranged our main living area and as a result the sun glared on the center of the TV when setting in my man chairs. I immediately called Kathy to help resolve my dilemma and two days later she was there ordering a new blind with sun blocking feature. The blind arrive one week later and installed by Claudio who is an amazing professional who does great work. With Kathy and Claudio on your team you have the best of best. Thanks for the good fast installation.We just installed impact windows in our home to be safe with the hurricanes in Florida. We had Hunter Douglas window coverings and loved the look, quality and great customer service. When we called Kathy at Blinds Galore and More and told her what we wanted to do she came out the next day and showed us several of the Hunter Douglas products. We needed blinds that would block the sun from coming through and interfering with our TV watching. She had the perfect solution for us. Kathy showed us the newest product, Silhouette Duolite, which has two shades in one, providing all the benefits of a traditional Silhouette shading but with an independently operated room-darkening roller shade nestled behind it. The shades were perfect. They were just what we needed. We motorized all the windows in our living room so now we can select any or all windows to open, close and even block out the sun. Kathy helped with the color and recommended an accent wall color to highlight the blinds and the master doorway. Kathy is amazing. Thank you
Kathy is amazing! Rick is a perfectionist who absolutely made sure we were happy with his expert installation. This company is the best and we are 100% PLUS satisfied. Such a pleasant experience from my first phone call to Kathy to when Rick and his assistant left after the installation. If I could give 10 stars I would. You won’t go wrong with this wonderful company.
We had a great experience with Blinds Galore and More located in the North Port area. Kathy and Rick Brown came to our house on the day we called to give us an estimate on Vertiglide blinds. The blinds arrived exactly on the date promised, Rick and Charlotte did a great job on the install. From estimate through installation, all was very professionally done. The entire team was great to work with and we love the blinds! At a time when good customer service is not always part of the buying experience, Kathy, Rick and Charlotte exceeded expectations!
It just does not get better than this:Right outside of the front entrance of Sarasota National is a billboard from google that highlights Blinds Galore and More. This company is just outstanding to work with, pricing is very fair and customer service is second to none. I’ve recommended them to so many folks in Venice, and highly recommend them if you are considering plantation shutters, draperies or in home design help. Kathy and her team are second to none. Debi Harman Realtor
I am so incredibly happy with Kathy and Rick!! I called and they were able to come out the same day. Kathy was very honest about what would work best with my windows/doors and since I have pets, made recommendations according to them. Everything took a week to get installed but there was a holiday and likely would have been even sooner! I was not expecting such quick service. Rick is so sweet, I work night shift and had my mother over so he could install the shutters and have someone awake. He kept my room for last and has zero issue with my schedule. I found an imperfection and gave them a call. The same night, I received a message saying they would be there to repair it almost next day. I would recommend them to everyone for many reasons and I’m so very thankful for everything they did!!
I just had Blinds Galore & More install a Plantation Shudder in my master bathroom. It is an unusual size window and I contacted 3 other companies who all said it could not be made. I saw an advertisement for Blinds Galore and More and decided to try one last time. I spoke with Kathy who was knowledgeable and professional and said she could do it. She arranged for Rick her husband to come over to my home that afternoon and measure more accurately the window and showed me various options. Less than a week later I have my Plantation Shutter installed and I am completely satisfied. I have already and will continue to recommend Kathy and Rick of Blinds Galore & More...
Today my blinds were installed and I can’t express how professional, friendly and trustworthy Rick, Kathy & crew are! My shutters are exquisite and exactly what Kathy advised would be! Start to finish magnificent. All I can say is, “Thank You Rick & Kathy for making my home beautiful!”
I had a great experience with Blinds Galore and More. The company is customer service focused and has a very warm family vibe. Kathy has a great eye and quickly helped me make decisions for several window and door openings. The custom shutters for the eyebrow curved window pictured here are so beautiful (the pelican loves them too). They hold out heat and sun or open at any desired angle to let in the natural light. The room darkening shades recommended for sliders are also beautiful and easy to open and close at desired levels of light and privacy. Rick did an amazing and quick job on perfect installation of these very different treatments, and his assistants Charlotte and Diane were also wonderful. Amazing how the right window coverings really transform a house into a home. It was surprising to me too that a full service small company like this one still exists in a cookie cutter world. Thank you Kathy and Rick and Charlotte and Diane!
Called companies to get estimates on curtains for my parents house new construction was very hesitant to commit, my wife saw a billboard on 41 heading towards Venice, I called the number and met with Kathy right away, she gave me an estimate right away, was very happy with it, ended up doing my own house as well. Excellent customer service and excellent product & prices. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!!
My wife and I recently bought our retirement home in North Port, FL and one of the first things we wanted to do was install beautiful window treatments. My wife searched the web where she discovered the Blinds Galore and More website. I contacted owner Kathy Brown and immediately her sense of excitement about what she does and how she values her customers. was apparent My wife also talked to Kathy shortly after that and we were convinced BG&M was for us. The selection of theytype of shutters we wanted was varied and Kathy added her expertise and knowledge in helping us make the right selection. The pricing proposal was very reasonable and fit into our house prep budget. Kathy visited our house along with her husband Rick and measured all the windows and submitted that info to the factory which is located in Venice, FL.Kathy provided us with an installation date and early that morning Rick arrived with the shutters and started the install. Rick is very skilled with all aspects of shutter installation and within a few hours all of our windows were hung with new shutters and what a difference they made. And Rick's commitment to quality and customer service were on display. Actually he is a bit of a perfectionist at his craft. Before he left we went to every window to be certain all shutters were working as they should be. I was VERY pleased.So if you are looking for a company that provides a quality product made right here in the USA and SW FL, pricing that is in line with the finished treatments, and a very high level of customer service and communication, you should contact Kathy Brown at Blinds Galore and More. You will be glad you did ! Thanks again Kathy and Rick !Jolie and John
After shopping for new shutters online and big box hardware stores, I was never happy with the price and overwhelmed by options and concerned what selections would be the best fit. After one year of debating this, I called Kathy and was immediately convinced that I needed her expertise. This is an expensive treatment and one mistake would cost me hundreds of dollars. Kathy quoted me a ballpark, which of course, was higher than the dot com shutters, but it wasn't unreasonable. Especially considering they would be expertly installed and any mistake would fall on her. She showed me samples of extremely well made composite shutters and knew exactly what frame would be best. BTW--I would have picked wrong making an online selection. The shutters came one week later which online was 6-12 weeks. They are beautiful and look twice the cost. They make the rooms gorgeous. The installation was expert and perfect in every detail. We are doing three more bedrooms just because I feel they add tremendous value to my home. Worth every penny, don't make the mistake I almost did by ordering online. Get it right the first time.
We just got our new blinds installed today and they are just beautiful. Kathy gave us great recommendations and I'm so happy with the way they look and operate. Rick did a great job of installing them. Both Kathy and Rick were very nice to work with!
I had new windows installed and many of my older blinds were not sufficient, so I called a few window treatment stores and when I spoke with Kathy, I felt like my home was her home. She arrived within hours and we made decisions about what to purchase. My plantation shutterslook marvelous. Rick and team installed them to perfection. I would never use another window treatment service.
Contacted Company because of the reviews. I was not disappointed. Kathy and Rick are a pleasure to work with. Kathy helped a lot in picking proper window coverings for the type of home I have, she said that I would not be disappointed and I would have a WOW opinion when completed. She was spot on, Rick is very meticulous on installation and they kept everything so clean. Very responsive, respectful and very customer oriented. I look forward to ordering several other window coverings and I would only choose Blinds Galore and More.
Kathy and her crew were wonderful to work with. Her attention to detail was great! She gave good honest opinions based on what she has seen before and based on her eye for knowing what will look perfect! Some other places, it seemed, would tell you only what you wanted to hear and I feared that with those approaches the project would turn out fine instead of fabulous! Also Kathy's patience and wanting you to be happy before the ordered was made also topped others. Definitely recommend Blinds Galore to family and friends, and anyone else out there looking for blinds!
Plantation shutters installed today by Blinds Galore and More. Rick notches baseboard to make sure shutters slide perfectly to side. Amazing carpentry job! Kathy and Blinds Galore took care of us 7 years ago when we first purchased our home in Island Walk and we will continue to use this first rate business for all our window covering needs.As always, a superior job and a superior product. Thank you Kathy!!!
This is a phenomenal company to work with. Kathy and Rick were such a pleasure to work with. The plantation shutters and slider window treatments are absolutely gorgeous and only added to the beauty of our new home. They use only the highest quality products. Their expertise and guidance made this process and purchase a breeze! THANKS, Kathy and Rick!
Awesome company to do business with. We purchased plantation shutters from them and love the look they give our condo. They don't simply sell you a product and that's the end of the story. They provide excellent advice to guide you with your purchase. Product delivery and installation was quick and very efficient. Customer satisfaction follow up is continuous. I wouldn't hesitate to use them again should the need arise.
Blinds Galore is absolutely the best business in this area to head to anytime you’re in the market for plantation shutters. I know they do a lot more than just shutters, but I can only speak from my specific product experience. We could have gone anywhere else and purchased the less expensive “Made in China” shutters, but opted for the quality solid louvers and frames made in the USA would provide us with. We love the added ambiance and style the new shutters have given our home and could not be more satisfied. Major home improvement purchases require significant product research, reliance on word-of-mouth testimonials, local references, and occasionally just plain good luck with finding a great business to work with. When I am searching for somewhere to do business, I expect three very important areas to be addressed:1. Product: I look for quality before quantity and always opt for the best within my price range. 2. Installation: There is an expectation of efficiency and skilled workmanship devoid of flaws or camouflaged mistakes. 3. Customer Service both pre-sale and post installation is critical and often very elusive in this day and age. This is perhaps the most important area of all since a business with great customer service will almost invariably install a quality product they can stand behind.I am never spent this much time giving a review, but when it comes to product, installation, and customer service, Blinds Galore is impeccable. If I could give Kathy and Rick Brown more than a five star rating, I would.
Kathy and Rick visited the house and quickly gave suggestions for window treatments that would work with the house. We told them what we wanted and figured out what worked best. They promptly ordered the treatments and set up the installation. We actually made some changes which they took care of immediately. Rick installed the shutters and veriglides quickly. We even ordered another window to have shutters installed. No problems. Great job.
We first called Kathy & Rick in 2006 to help us select shutters for our home. Since then we have had them come back several times and have recommended them to friends. They have always been helpful, efficientour & orders have been filled quickly. We will continue to tell our friends about their service.
Once again we call Blinds Galore & More for patio shades.Because we were so pleased with the Plantation shutters and blinds from previous work order. These new patio shades are just want we ordered and expected. They keep out the morning and afternoon sun, but let you see out. Standing outside looking into our patio you have complete privacy. Wonderful job from start to finish.Tyrone & Patricia Perry
Wow! What great service. Extremely prompt. They came the same day. A lot of companies might state they have great customer service, but Kathy and Rick of "Blinds Galore and More" set the bar for prompt, professional and courteous service. This IS the company to go for all your window treatments....and More!
We were referred to Kathy and Rick Brown thru friends of ours. They loved their purchase from Blinds Galore and More and couldn’t say enough about their service. Being new to the area, we thought we would get a price from them. From the first contact Kathy, I knew we could do business with her. Enthusiastic, knowledgeable, competitive and efficient, we found a wealth of information in her and she was willing to share! Rick is a professional installation expert and together, they can’t be beat. We’re looking forward to doing more business with the Browns in the near future. You can’t go wrong when you’re dealing with the best! Thank you, Linda and Rocco
I have to say that moving to Florida and finding Blinds Galore was a true blessing. Kathy is very knowleable, friendly, and helpful. We absolutely LOVE the way our solar shades and shutters look. And her husband, Rick, does an awesome job with installation and just goes out of his way to be sure that we are happy. They have been extremely helpful in so many ways. I highly recommend that you give them a call. I’m sure you’ll be glad you did.
Kathy and Rick are truly wonderful and genuine people! They both have helped us transition to the Venice area in countless ways. We consider them friends and deeply value all they have done for us! Our first introduction to Kathy and Rick began with the absolutely beautiful plantation shutters they installed in our new home. They made sure everything was ready the very first day we moved in. They took care of it all...measuring, ordering, and installation with great efficiency and professionalism! I can honestly say that their work was flawless in every way....wish we could say that about every other aspect of our move!!We highly recommend Kathy and Rick not only as an amazing business team, but as people who go above and beyond in ways that we will long remember!
We were recommended to blinds galore and more by our Realtor. Since we were out of the state we asked Kathy if she could use the lock box and give us an estimate, which she did. Unsure about what product to use and cost we put it off until we returned to Florida. Since we were only in town for a week we called Kathy and asked if she could come over on such a short notice, which she did. She went over our options and at no time tried to pressure us. We agreed upon plantation shutters and were told Rick would install them before we returned. True to their word Rick installed them and sent us pictures. Kathy and Rick are very personable and professional and we would recommend them to anyone.
Kathy and Rick provided us with the highest quality service and products. My husband and I purchased a new house in Venice, and were unable to come down to meet personally to select the blinds and shutters. I conducted all selection and ordering by consulting with Kathy over the phone and via e-mail. The shutters that she helped me to select are perfect! Installation was professionally done and everything looks beautiful. Kathy and Rick run an honest business - I recommend them to anyone looking to purchase window treatments.
Excellent service and quality from start to finish. Kathy and Rick provided great suggestions and options for replacement blinds in our Florida room. The blinds were ready prior to the due date and installed perfectly by Rick. There was a small problem with one of the blinds and Kathy called the Hunter Douglas rep who came out the same day and took care of it. The blinds were exactly what we wanted and look great. Would recommend Blinds Galore and More to all who want service and quality delivered by the wonderful team of Kathy and Rick.
My plantation shutters look amazing! From start to finish - professional and courteous service. The owner's knowledge of decor provided the perfect "finish" to each of my rooms. The shutters are great quality and installation seamless. Attention to detail was impeccable - I highly recommend their service for all window treatment/decor needs.
Dealing with Kathy and Rick Brown was a pleasure. Kathy led us through all the blind and shutter options and made suggestions. They removed all the old, hideous, window treatments and spackled and painted the holes left from the previous hardware. The new blinds and shutters are beautiful. We found a small problem with one of the brackets. I sent a message to Kathy and she called me immediately even though it was a holiday. She and Rick were at our home the next morning to fix the problem. I found them both very professional and great to deal with. I highly recommend this company.
I just had my whole newly-built house done with plantation shutters. Kathy, Rick and the rest of the team were great to work with. They were super friendly, prompt, followed up, offered professional suggestions and installation was a breeze. We love the quality and will recommend them to our new neighbors.
Had Kathy and Rick install our plantation shutters in Sept of 2017.They were wonderful to deal with. To this day almost 6 years ago they look new. We have relatives that will be purchasing a home soon in our area and I would highly recommend Kathy and Rick to do their window treatments. Was happy to hear they are still in business.
We had plantation shutters and several vertiglides installed in our home last month. We are very happy with the result! Kathy is an expert at what she does. Her recommendations ended up transforming the look of our house! Cory did an excellent job with the installation. We would definitely highly recommend Blinds Galore and More!
Used twice in two different homes. Exceptional service and quality.
Purchasing our new home in Venice, I promised myself everything would be new and of the highest quality. We had plantation shutters and a vertiglide installed last week and they have made our home so beautiful and welcoming. From the buying experience with Kathy and Ron to the installation with Bob, Kory and Diane, I could not be happier.
This company is amazing to deal with! I was able to get a next day appointment with Kathy and Rick (due to a cancellation) and they were straightforward and honest. They offer a beautiful product at a fair price. Our installation was done today and I couldn’t be happier! Final product is just as expected. Bob, Cory and Charlotte were on time and worked efficiently together to complete the project. I have other plantation shutters from a large chain and Blinds Galore service was above and beyond! They inspected and cleaned every inch of the shutters with a penlight. I… Read more »
Had plantation shutters installed this weekend. Excellent service, perfect measurements, professional clean-up. Shutters look great!!! A-plus company.
We had plantation shutters put in and have lived with them now for a couple of months. We couldn’t be more pleased with the product or the installation process. The measurements were done perfectly, and the installation was seamless; the installers cleaned as they went, leaving, no materials behind for us to throw away. We were absolutely thrilled and highly recommend Blinds Galore and More! They came recommended highly by friends of ours, who had plantation shutters installed last year. Although the prices of materials had risen, we were given the same price deal as our friends got several months… Read more »

Exemplary customer service! I highly recommend. I would give them 10 stars if I could! They listened to my window covering needs and helped me make the best decision for my home. I now have beautiful shutters (made in the USA) and a Hunter Douglas sliding shade that really add to the design of my Florida home! They were professional and courteous and were on-time for the measurement appointment and install. They were respectful of my property and cleaned up everything. They also walked me through an inspection when they were done to make sure I was happy with everything.… Read more »
Kathy and Rick are an amazing duo! They seamlessly installed sliding door blinds in our previous home and now our condo. We are more than pleased. Do not hesitate!!
We just had our blinds installed today and we could not be more satisfied as they look great and easy to operate. Made a great addition to our lanai as they made it more attractive. We rate blinds galorenorth Port a 5star and would recommend them highly. Rosanne and Gary
If you are looking for plantation shutters, no need to look any further. Kathy and Rick came to our house to do the first measurements. They are extremely professional and the customer service was perfect, and honestly hard to find these days. On the day of installation the crew that arrived, Rick, Charlotte, Corey and Bob worked like a well oiled machine. Again, professional and customer service was amazing.
I can’t imagine my Florida home without my Plantation shutters and verti-glide shades from Blinds Galore & More!!! This is the 4th home they’ve provided perfect products and impeccable installation. Charlotte noticed a defect in one of the shutter doors. Rick was able to get a replacement door and get it installed on the same day even though he had to travel over an hour each way to make it happen. Kathy took my order over the phone and measured the next day. Thanks Kathy, Rick and Charlotte!!!
Thank you again Connie for calling us back. We appreciate all our customers. And your new home looks amazing. You know you can count on us if you need anything. Take care and be safe… God Bless Kathy & Team Galore….
Super job by Kathy and Rick and Charlotte! The shutters they recommended and installed made our rooms look bigger, brighter, and better! Their communication and professionalism is superb. Highly recommend.
Thank you so much for the kind words. And thank you for mentioning our employees. They work real hard. I hope the tile company helped. If you need anything let me know. Best regards Kathy & Rick

We Absolutely Loved working with Kathy Brown and her Team. Very Courteous, Professional, and on Time. There was a small blemish on one of the slates, almost impossible to see, but her Team did. They were out the very next morning to exchange it! As a REALTOR, Nothing I Love More than Referrals. I will Highly Recommend Kathy Brown and her Team!!!!
I am SO HAPPY with my plantation shutters. Made right here in America!! Fast courteous and prompt service. Professional installation. Love these people!!
Extremely happy with my plantation shutters and vertiglide. Kathy and Rick are very professional. They offered excellent suggestions. I am glad I chose Blinds Galore and More for my window treatments.
Our plantation shutters are fantastic, not to mention, made in the United States. Kathy gave great advice and her installation crew are absolute professionals. Thank you for all the help.
We considered having Plantation Shutters installed in our home for a long time. When we decided to finally do it we called Blinds Galore and More. Kathy and Rick responded, answered all of our questions, took measurements and provided us with a fair price. They told us what to expect and what the time line was for delivery and installation. The shutters were installed yesterday and what a great addition they are to our home ! They turn an ordinary home into something exceptional. Rick and his team carefully and expertly installed all eight shutters in about 2 1/2 hours… Read more »
We are very happy with our new plantation shutters! They are beautiful, practical, functional and give our windows a high end, finished look. Kathy and Rick are reliable, knowledgeable and great to work with and promptly installed the shutters when promised in a matter of weeks! In the interim, Rick installed temporary shades for us very quickly so we had privacy while waiting for the shutters.
I highly recommend Blinds Galore and More for exceptional service, high quality products and reasonable prices. They are a pleasure to do business with!
We just purchased a new home in Port Charlotte and having Blinds Galore & More install our Hunter Douglas Vertriglide for our triple slider and celluar shade was the first thing that actually went smoothly in our house. It was a breath of fresh air to not only meet such nice people like Kathy and Rick Brown but to meet a company that is very professional, knowledgeable and that takes pride in what they do…even in these busy times! Kathy’s designing recommendations were most appreciated and right on. Rick made the installation look painless and quick. Eventually, we will have… Read more »
Extremely happy with our Plantation shutters and Vertiglides. Quality of shutters much better than other companies. Kathy and Rick are very knowledgeable with their products. They gave great advice. Shutters arrived in a timely fashion, and when they were stated to arrive. Very meticulous with their product and installation. Highly recommend. Great professional people that stand behind their product.
Excellent, proffesional and knowledgable. I was going to get more than one quote but when Kathy gave me a quote her price was right in line. Her suggestion for the blinds was perfect. I love the look. Installation was pain free fast and easy. I would use them again if I had more windows.
Was a pleasant experience working with Kathy and Rick everything went just like they said. We our very happy with our new Plantation Shutters and with the installation. Did a great job. Thank You.
Great job and follow thru. Plantation shutters and curtains were ordered and installed on time. Fair price for what appears to be quality product. Gave us temporary shades while on order which Rick installed, wasn’t expected.😊Rick and crew very meticulous and careful on installation. Kathy and Rick are a great team. Keep up the good work. I would highly recommend.
High quality product and great customer service! We highly recommend Blinds Galore & More!
High quality product with outstanding customer service. I would highly recommend Kathy and Rick Brown of Blinds Galore and More for your next window treatment.

Kathy, Rick & team run a smooth operation! It has been a pleasure doing business with them.

I wanted shutters and Kathy knew exactly what I wanted. We also purchased Vertiglides for our zero corner sliding glass doors and shades for our den / 3rd bedroom French doors. That way guests can have their privacy when using the room as a bedroom.
If you already know exactly what you’re looking for or need help in deciding what best fits your home, Kathy and her husband are the ones to help.
Kathy and Rick are simply the best! They are extremely knowledgeable, have impeccable customer service and top quality products. They show up when they say they will. They are patient with questions and generous with their time, skills and knowledge! Our home and lives are better for having met them!
We met with Kathy and Rick to discuss options for coverings for our sliding glass doors. We were immediately impressed with them on both a professional and personal level. They were extremely knowledgeable about the products and options we had for our doors, and they took the time to be certain we understood those options. We decided to purchase the Hunter Douglas Vertiglide Blinds. Yesterday our blinds were installed and we could not be happier with them. Rick reviewed the proper way to open and close them, as well as the warrantee information. We highly recommend them! Thank you Kathy… Read more »
Minnesota to Florida:
With a recent divorce and a move to a new state, new community and new home. It has been very overwhelming, however Kathy and Rick and their crew did an amazing job transforming just a house to my very own HOME!
Plantation Stutters is what I have wanted forever! They look and feel like me; southern coastal living!
Thank you so very much for beginning my new chapter…..
What a great experience we had working with Kathy and Rick (Blinds Galore and More). They explained our options for a VertiGlide system for our sliding glass door. Kathy helped us choose the best color for the blinds and valance trim consistent with the colors in our living room. They explained the ordering process, production time, and what to expect during the installation. We now have the blind installed, just as planned, and it is beautiful. Rick even explained what he was doing as he made the tension adjustments. We are very pleased Blinds Galore and More!!!
We just purchased plantation shutters. Y We love them. Rick and Kathy were both very professional and timely on installation. Thank you and see you soon for more window treatments.
Can’t say enough about Kathy and Rick / Blinds Galore And More, and the beautiful shutters they put in our new home! The shutters are top quality, the installation was flawless, and it’s completely transformed the house! Thanks to Kathy for explaining everything up front, and thanks to Rick for the great installation and walking us through the features of everything. I’d give them 10 stars if I could! Thanks guys, we’ll call if we need anything else!
We received a Five – Star experience when we hired Kathy & Rick Brown, Owners of Blinds Galore And More ( 941 ) 240 – 6100. Kathy is so talented with interior design and very knowledgeable about all their products. She makes the experience of picking the proper window treatments enjoyable. A few years ago Kathy & Rick installed our Hunter Douglas Vertiglides. On August 7, 2020 they installed seven Plantation Shutters, and now our home is complete, all our windows look amazing with top quality products!!! The window treatments arrived quickly & we had experts doing the installation. Rick… Read more »
Just a quick note to say how pleased we were with Kathy and Rich.
Came to the house, took measurements and were a real joy to work with. Kathy, is very knowledgeable with the products. It took roughly
3 weeks to get them but with the virus issues, we felt very pleased with
the delivery. We will highly recommend their product and service any time.

Rick and Cathy came out to our unit, measured and ordered sun shades for our lanai and in less than 14 days Rick & Charlotte installed them in less than 30 minutes.
The shades are high quality and look beautiful both when up or down. Not your ordinary shades. Oh they also did the job by keeping out the morning sun.
You can’t go wrong with Rick and Cathy.
Thanks so much for the great service and products.
We have been considering for a while to get plantation shutters.Contacted Kathy and same day Rick came and measured our windows. Then he put our order in and as soon as they arrived he came to install them. Extremely organize and with attention to detail. Shutters look great! We are very pleased and highly recommend their services.
Plantation shutters make the room and as my husband and I completed the last interior renovation on our home – I knew the only ones to call were Kathy and Richard! They installed my plantation shutters in 2017 – they are as perfect as the day they were installed – and my newest ones are just gorgeous too. Their work is impeccable from start to finish!
Rick and his assistant installed plantation shutters on all of our windows in our villa today. They did a wonderful, clean job and were very nice, explaining anything we needed to know and any questions.
They also took away all of our old blinds.
The plantation shutters look beautiful and we are so happy with this company. We would highly recommend Blinds Galore and More!
Very happy with everything that was done by Kathy and Rick and there team. The plantation shutters look amazing. We are glad to enjoy them before returning to New York State for the summer. I highly recommend Blinds Galore and More for all your window needs. Worth every penny

Thank you very much for taking the time to write about us. We appreciate it very much. Enjoy your new home and relax. Be safe and careful too. The Browns and Galore Team.
We had Kathy and Rick install plantation shutters on our den windows a month or so ago. Liked them all (shutters, owners and installers) so much we went ahead and asked them to do the rest of the house with the plantation shutters. Again, they did a superb job from start to finish and we are completely satisfied with the results. If we had more windows, would do more of the same. And we continue to recommend Blinds Galore and More to anyone wanting a outstanding buying experience.
We are very happy with our purchase of blinds for our home. The suggestions Kathy gave us regarding the type and color of blind to choose was right on target. Richard installed them and was meticulous. They were both very personable and professional.
So grateful for Kathy and Rick! We had plantation shutters, solar shades and vertiglides installed in our home. Everything exceeded our expectations. They are beautiful! Rick ensured each window treatment was perfectly installed, worked smoothly and explained how to care for them. Kathy’s recommendations for types of treatments and color was spot on! This was a big job that was stress free for us. Kathy also went above and beyond and helped us with another issue we had been dealing with. I can’t thank her enough. I highly recommend Blinds Galore and More for the best possible experience. Save your… Read more »
