The short version: both companies come to your home, measure, quote and install, and sell several materials. If you’d rather not have the visit, or you want to see a price before you talk to anyone, order online and fit them yourself.
Budget Blinds
- Shutters in “highest-grade North American hardwoods” and in polymer, vinyl, composite and hybrid materials; hidden tilt and optional motorization[1].
- Each location is an independently owned franchise[3]; a free in-home consultation, then professional installation[1].
- Its No-Questions-Asked warranty gives a one-time free repair or replacement if a product is damaged after installation within 5 years, for the original purchaser[2].
3 Day Blinds
- Wood, composite, faux wood, vinyl and ABS shutters, with Clear View hidden tilt and motorized tilt[4].
- A free in-home consultation, a “same-day quote”, and professional installation[5].
- Components and workmanship covered for the lifetime of the product, original buyer, with a 1-year installation warranty[6].

When an in-home company makes sense
If you don’t want to measure or drill, or you want motorized tilt, a company that visits and installs is the right call, and both have warranties built around their installation. Budget Blinds’ damage cover is something we don’t offer[2].
When ordering online makes sense
If you’re comfortable with a drill and a level, you take the installation bill and the appointment out of the price. A 36 × 48 in window from us is $320 – $400 in the US ($460 – $570 CAD in Canada), before tax and shipping. Are shutters worth it?
Our shutters are one product: solid American poplar, made to the measurements you take, priced online window by window, and fitted by you. Price your windows
