Hi All,
I am currently building my home with AVJennings, and have my window coverings included in the price. The problem is, their included coverings are vertical blinds (ewwwwwwww!!!) which I obviously hate, and they dont have any colours that I like/match my colour scheme.
So, I asked the vertical provider, blinds plus, if they could upgrade to roman blinds. They took my plans and quoted... wait for it....... $5,000 to upgrade verticals to romans, yes, that is taking into account the price difference for dropping verticals (though they said they might be able to do a bit of a discount on measuring on site).
I really despise verticals but can't afford anywhere near $5000 to upgrade bloody window coverings, worse I got an independant quote for $2,500 without taking the vertical supply cost into account, so I really feel I am getting ripped off!!!!
I only have 7 windows and a sliding door to cover....... is $5,000 to upgarde the norm for that size with only a light filtering fabric?
Is there any alternative to romans that are sleek, contemporary, plain white and cost less than romans/closer to vertical cost?
Should I cancel the window coverings and get another company to do them after hand over?
Thank you sooooooo much for any help!!
Vanessa.
