We have used Accent on Windows several times over the past decade to outfit our homes with shades and window coverings. We wouldn't use any other business! Accent on Windows staff are professionals who know what they are doing and provide excellent service from selection to installation and they stand behind their work. Thank you, Gail and Cory! We highly recommend Accent on Windows.

Fantastic service from start to finish. Gail has an amazing encyclopedia of knowledge to share that really helped me narrow down the options to consider during the home visit. She and Corey make a great team and efficiently guided me to marvelous choices that have brought literal and figurative warmth to my home. The attention to detail continued all the way through the installation. I highly recommend this company. Hands down.

Many thanks, Gail and Corey! We love the new window coverings in the family room and master bedroom. They are exactly what we were looking for. They are classy looking, beautifully matched to the room color schemes, easy to operate, control the light in several ways and help retain heat at night. From your first visit with samples to Corey's installation, everything was great.We highly recommend Accent on Windows.

I can't say enough good things about Gail and her team at Accent on Windows! In addition to purchasing shades from them, the service they provided when we needed some repairs to some existing shades went above and beyond the call of duty. Gail stuck with us as she made sure that the shades were repaired correctly by the manufacturer and Cory did a super job with the installation. I highly recommend the entire team for their professionalism, commitment to their customers, and deep knowledge of the products they sell. Thank you Gail, Cory & Marlene!
