Modern Shade and Decor supplies and installs custom window treatments, from cellular blinds and Roman shades to plantation shutters and motorized blinds. Houzz lists Rich's company in Needham and shows 17 projects. The written reviews date from 2017–2018. Customers described 32 custom shades, beautiful shutters, competitive prices, and careful installation; one 2018 reviewer also said Rich sometimes missed installation appointments because of other commitments. This is a fit for a whole-home shade or shutter project. Ask for a current installation schedule and how missed appointments are handled before ordering.
Typical Greater Boston range for this kind of work, from regional averages — not a quote from Modern Shade and Decor. Use it to sanity-check bids, then get the real number in writing.
Estimated range
$4,000 – $11,000
Typical exterior project around $7,500
Rich does excellent work in terms of installation and finding great prices on name brand window treatments. Sometimes he doesn't show up to install because of other pressing commitments. Overall, I would hire this company again.
We moved into a new construction home and needed to purchase window treatments for the entire house. We ended up doing a mix of cellular blinds and roman shades which came out beautiful. Rich was easy to work with and gave us a great price!
We recently moved to Boston from NH and we were lucky enough to find Rich and Modern Shades and Décor. We found Rich punctual, professional, and proficient in his approach and expertise in the field. We purchased 32 shades. They were custom made to meet our needs. Now, 5 months later, we could not be happier. We hope others have the opportunity for the same fulfilling experience.
We hired Modern Shade and Decor to give our living and dining room windows a more complete, and updated look. We are more than pleased with how the plantation shutters look. The material, service, and installation process are second to none. We would highly recommend this company and will be using them again in the future for the other rooms in our house.
Enjoyed working with Rich. His prices were quite competitive. We were very satisfied with his workmanship and the quality of products we selected.
