It took us some time to get furniture that we ordered after finishing our house build this Summer. Custom blinds turned out to be a disaster. Went through Lowe's, and they sent a guy from one contractor to measure, and 2 guys from another to install, after about a 2 month wait.
The measurer was planning on hanging the blinds on the wood around the windows, and the installers hung them above the wood into the sheetrock. Of course, they were too short. This was about $5,000 worth of blinds, and we only did about 12 of the windows, which is about half. We left the back of the house with no window treatments because of the views and nobody can see in from there.
After getting them rehung properly from the original measurer, we now have 52 holes in the sheetrock of a new house, and a $500 estimate to fill holes and spot paint. The estimate goes to $1200 if 7 walls have to be totally repainted to match. So far, Lowe's has not agreed. We have just finished spending many, many thousands of dollars with them on the house build, cabinets, tile, wood flooring, etc. We also spent many thousands with them on the mountain house, but a different Lowe's store.
