The Trusted Saskatoon directory team are excited to welcome and give the ' Thumbs Up' to the latest Saskatoon Window Coverings expert  , and it is a business we are very familiar with - Made In The Shade Blinds Saskatoon.

The owner of the Saskatoon Made In The Shade franchise is Heather Boyko, and before starting her business in September 2013 she was the Trusted Saskatoon consultant! 

When she was out and about visiting business owners as their Trusted Saskatoon consultant Heather saw a gap in the Saskatoon window coverings market, which she believed she could fill. As Saskatoon continues to boom and grow,  new houses are being built on every corner of the city and each of them require window coverings! As people improve, renovate and re decorate their homes they are surprised how many options are out there for blinds & other window coverings,  and as shopping for those the traditional way from store to store is very time consuming Heather felt a mobile service was definitely the way to go ....at Made in The Shade they come to you at home, and fit in with your busy schedule, and as there are minimum overheads the savings are fantastic!!

 Heather knows what it takes to be a Trusted Saskatoon partner and as soon as she had served 25 clients she applied to be a Trusted Saskatoon partner. To be a Trusted partner the businesses must pass a strict verification process, which includes the Trusted team speaking and surveying clients ( pass or fail - we are looking for excellent not average), checking licenses and insurance and looking at other reference sources. Made In The Shade Saskatoon passed with flying colors and Heather's clients expressed their admiration for the high level of customer service they experienced, read testimonials from her clients here on the Made In The Shade website. Heather knows that service is the most important part of her business and when combined with great prices it really is a win win situation for her clients!

The booking process was quick - she asked me on the phone where I had heard about them.  Was able to get us in in 2 days, gave us a time window in which they would be there and said she would try to see if they could come earlier (and they were able to come about an hour earlier).  He called before he came,  wore covers over his shoes and was clean, friendly and did not smell like smoke (huge deal for me). 

They have a customer loyalty program which he explained to me and then before I paid explained it all again to my husband on the phone. They called the next day to follow up on the appointment and service - I told her that it was one of first times I didn't feel hesitant about a trades person coming to my house and that I felt when he was done that he had actually fixed the problem (felt confident in that). 

My husband and I were so happy with the service that we purchased a lifetime membership for their loyalty program and will be Perfection Plumbing customers for life!

WHAT A GREAT MYSTERY SHOP!!! Yet again showing you deserve the Thumbs Up from www.TrustedSaskatoon.com!
