Mohawk Shade

Mohawk Shade & Blind has been fitting Cambridge-area homes for blinds, shades, and shutters for a long time — its BBB profile lists the company at 58 years in business, still working out of its Massachusetts Avenue storefront. People call them for custom window coverings: measuring a room, walking through fabric and material options, then ordering and installing. The last several months of reviews read almost the same way each time. Customers describe a thorough in-home appointment where staff explain the options clearly enough that more than one buyer says they chose Mohawk over a competing quote, then a fast turnaround once the order comes in — reviewers use the word "perfectly" to describe how blinds fit after installation. One customer's most recent job was plantation shutters, and it was their third order with the company, which says something about repeat trust more than any single five-star review could. That pattern holds up at scale: Google puts the business at 4.8 stars across 42 ratings, and independent mentions on Nextdoor and elsewhere describe the installers as attentive to detail. The one real outlier is on Angi, where a customer reported a pricing dispute tied to a change in ownership over a special-order item — a single sour note against an otherwise clean, multi-year record, and one the business responded to directly rather than ignoring. Worth knowing before you call: the business is not BBB-accredited, and it's fair to ask up front about current pricing for anything special-ordered, since that's the one place a disagreement has surfaced. Beyond that, this reads as a straightforward pick for a blinds, shades, or shutters job with someone local who will walk you through the options rather than a big-box installer.
