TESTIMONIALS
“We hired Mike for the selection and installation of automatic roller shades. Mike is an expert: quick and very precise. Highly recommend.”
Ted M / Streeterville
“I was recommended to Chicago Shadeworks by a colleague and we were extremely happy with our choice. Mike came to the house with samples and was very professional and knowledgeable. He didn’t try to sell us stuff we didn’t need and was very honest about the products he was offering. He measured our windows and the installation process a few weeks later was efficient and well done. We love our new blinds!!! Now our baby sleeps in the morning with her black out shades, and we feel that the shades have tied together our downstairs. We really appreciated the promptness and helpfulness of Mike along the way. He went out of his way on a regular basis to make sure we got what we wanted. We would recommend him to friends and family and would use his services again in the future.”

“Mike installed 13 blinds in my bedroom, family room, and bathroom. On my first meeting with Mike, we discussed several options for the windows. He priced out several options and I chose to go with the blinds. He measured, ordered and installed and the project took 2 weeks from the first meeting to installation. We are extremely happy with the blinds and the service Mike provided. He's knowledgeable, quick, and efficient. I would very highly recommend him.”

“We purchased plantation type shutters from Chicago Shadeworks for our home. Mike did an amazing job handling the entire process from measuring to installation. Pricing was very fair and the quality is first rate. I would recommend Chicago Shadeworks to anyone looking for window treatments.”
Ted F / Wheaton
“I had 6 windows, one with a unique shape that needed dressing. Sun bearing down was another issue. Mike suggested shutters and explained how it would come together. People call the room magnificent! No issues with size, color or installation! I'm a happy camper!”
Georgette J / Park Ridge
“Mike was great to work with and I would recommend him for window treatments in Chicago. He was very flexible on scheduling an initial visit as well as installation. Very professional.”
Josh R / Ukrainian Village
“Chicago Shadeworks did a totally professional job. They are customer focused and clearly know what they are doing. They made ordering and getting the shades installed a really pleasure. I would have no problem unreservedly recommending them to others, and I am not an easy sell.”
Howard N / Hyde Park
“When I moved into my condo I was not a fan of the cheap contractor blinds that were installed. The following spring I decided to use my tax refund on some new treatments. I first got the roll shades for the first floor. I picked a stylish, neutral color and a contemporary low-key pattern. We get lots of compliments for those blinds. A few years later, for our nursery got white shutters. The louvers keep out most of the light when you need, and during the day, the white of the large flat louvers reflects sunlight all over the room. The panels of the shutters open up like French doors if you need to clean or open the window. Both we feel were good investments for our home. Last year there was a dumpster fire outside our window near our garage whose heat broke our windows and melted one of our blinds. We were afraid we might have to get all three sets replaced, but Mike was able to obtain the same material and then match up and replace the one fire-damaged blind. Our experiences with Mike were very positive. He’s been very prompt, courteous and professional. He provided a lot of samples and knows his products extremely well. Mike is easily reachable by phone or email. Would definitely recommend and will do business with him again.”
Jerry C / Logan Square
“Mike was professional and extremely competent from my initial contact for a quote through the entire measuring/installation process. He knows his stuff and I would not hesitate to recommend him to anyone.”
Kenneth H / Northbrook
“We used Mike based on a referral from the designer we were using to redo our family room. Mike was quick to respond and his communication with the entire project was top notch. He did the initial meeting and the install himself. His products and his install work were awesome. Would not hesitate to use Mike again and would refer him for window covering work in the future. Very impressed with the entire process and very happy with window shutters he recommended and installed.”
Brian M / Naperville
“Mike did a really great job. He was on time, and had a great selection of products. Mike was very clean and left the house clean. I would recommend him highly.”
Greg M / Sauganash
“I recently had a wonderful experice with Chicago Shadeworks and the owner Mike Iverson. For the last 11 years my husband has been asking for room darkening window treatments in our master bedroom. My husband finally got his wish thanks to Chicago Shadeworks! From start to finish the process was seamless, the turnaround quick and the follow-up outstanding. Mike listened to what we wanted and presented us beautiful options that matched our aesthetic perfectly. Mike was very attentive to detail, professional and tidy (the workspace was cleaner after installation then before he arrived). We were so pleased that we hired Chicago Shadeworks to provide coverage for our second floor and we could not be happier!”
Joy L / River Forest
“We had a terrific experience with Chicago Shadeworks. The owner, Mike, was very responsive to our inquiries and meticulous in his measurements and installation. He had many shade options to choose from and gave us good input re: what would work well in our space. He came exactly when he said he would and left everything clean after installation. His timing and cost estimates were spot-on. We are thrilled with the results and are now using his services for another project. I've also referred him to friends who are very happy as well.”
Susan R / Evanston
“The shutters that Chicago Shadeworks put in are beautiful! They matched the color of our trim perfectly, are really high quality, and they really add a nice aesthetic touch to our house. They did a great job with the installation too. Fast and on time, and really went the extra mile to make sure that they all fit perfectly. We started with just the first floor as they were the most visible, but soon included the upstairs as well. I'd definitely have them back if we ever move and need to install more window treatments.”
Bill G / Evanston
“Superb contractor! Timely, responsive to email, reliable and neat on the job site. I seriously wish that all contractors were this easy to work with.”

“Mike did an exceptional job. The installation was flawless and there was no sign of work debris when he finished. He help me with the blind selection. Mike was very professional and left me with an exceptional set of blinds.”
Scott G / River West
“I hired Mike with Chicago Shadeworks while orchestrating my parents move from their large home of 50 years into a two bedroom apartment. Since I live in Houston and my parents live in Chicago I needed to find someone who I could count on to help me make decisions for us. We couldn't be happier with the service we received from Mike. He very graciously worked with my parents to schedule time to go over to the apartment and take the necessary measurements. He later called me and together we came up with some good ideas for their needs in the new apartment. I was extremely impressed with Mike's attention to detail, and his ability to think ahead about the needs of my elderly parents. My mother enjoyed working with Mike, and found him to be very kind and patient. Mike provided help along the way through planning, and throughout the installation. The whole family was thrilled with the window treatments; they are beautiful! Thank you Mike!”
Mary H / Evanston
“Mike Iverson was referred to me by my designer when I moved to a townhouse in Chicago. The curtains in the south-facing bedroom were shredded by the sun; we wanted to replace them with plantation shutters. Mike is an exceptional and exacting professional and extremely easy to work with. He came to my house to take measurements of the window on 2 occasions (and even helped me re-hang a curtain panel that I accidentally pulled down). The shutters were installed several weeks later, and the result is stunning. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Shadeworks for any window treatment - you will be impressed with the quality of Mike's work.”
Anne K / River West

Karen S / Hawthorne Woods
“Chicago Shadeworks installed plantation shutters in my entire home. I was completely satisfied from start to finish.. Quality, workmanship and installation process exceeded my expectations. I would highly recommend Chicago Shadeworks!”
Laura B / Mundelein
“Mike was timely and thorough. He came twice to measure to make sure everything was precise. The installation was quick and left me with beautiful shutters that give my home the coziness I was looking for. Mike did a fantastic job and would use him again for any future window treatment needs!”
Tara Z / Park Ridge
“Mike Iverson of Chicago Shadeworks is the best if you are looking for window treatments! I first hired Mike in 2013 to dress up our 18' portico living room window in our previous home. He was referred to me by our interior designer. He impressed me then with his professionalism and quality of service. Last summer, we moved and I did not hesitate to contact Mike again for new shades and shutters throughout our new home. Mike spent a lot of time with me showing me samples of the different qualities of materials and ultimately worked within our budget. The installation was performed as discussed and there were no surprises. My husband and I are very particular about the clean up of any craftsmen working in our home. Once again, Mike did an outstanding job of leaving our home spotless and disposing of all debris. If you are looking for a no nonsense professional to handle all of your window dressing needs, hire Mike Iverson of Chicago Shadeworks!!!!”
Lynn K / Frankfort
“Working with Mike was a pleasure and results were absolute perfection! I had no idea what I wanted at all...I had unique windows that were going to be very difficult and challenging but we worked together and Mike came up with excellent ideas that we did execute on. Once the selections were installed they far exceeded my expectations they were absolutely ideal...And without his great ideas and confidence building demeanor I probably would still have bare windows. I am not easy to work with as I become easily overwhelmed and indecisive. He was patient and willing to take the necessary time to help me figure it all out with his guidance. I had three estimates and the other two people, who were very excellent just didn't have the creative solutions and suggestions like Mike. I couldn't be more pleased with every aspect of his service...His ideas, his creativity, his follow through on the execution and the installation was seamless. He was on a mission installation day and completed the entire job in one day. I couldn't be more pleased from start to finish...Mike comes highly recommended from my perspective!”
Pam C / Norwood Park
“Mike did an amazing job from selling the custom shades, taking the appropriate measurements and installation. With everything we had going on with constructing a new house, it was really nice to not have to worry for a second about the shades. They all look beautiful. The room darkening shades are terrific too. I would highly recommend Mike for your next job.”
Alison B / Glenview
“I have worked with Chicago Shadeworks for almost ten years. Professionalism and perfection are top priorities. On the very few occasions when there has been a product issue, it has been handled efficiently and with the complete satisfaction of the client and myself. I would highly recommend their services, both to other design professionals and to homeowners.”
