You can get super cheap at walmart or home depot, but I'm assuming you want something a step up.Mars blinds down by Chinook looked a little like a dump, but seems to have a pretty decent price on blinds.

Not sure about calgary but Budget Blinds of out cochrane got us a VERY good deal on ours. Basic real wood in white for the whole house and patio for $3200 installed.

Careful though, they will upsell you on the cordless. We only wanted it on one room and we even regret that.

I've used Mars Blinds. No complaints at all.

I used Best for Less about a year and a half ago.

They were OK. Took my deposit and I waited about 2 months for them to install my product (standard blackout blinds, single window, under 10 min job). I called them several times. Nice people, but kept forgetting I guess. The install day rolls around and I get a call saying they can't make it, but whatever, stuff comes up I guess.

1 year later I get a phone call saying they forgot to bill me for the balance (they took a deposit initially). I have no idea if they charged me or not, since my CC doesn't have that much history and I can't remember a year back. I let them bill me again, and just hoped I didn't get double charged.

I didn't shop around but it was ~$500 for blackout blinds on a small rectangular window and a small half-moon above it. DIY for the same product looked to be about $200, but obviously I didn't want to DIY.

The install was OK, there are uneven gaps on either side of the blinds larger than I had expected (zero on one side, 1/4" on the other), but it's decent enough I guess. The "Fan" type blinds that go in the half moon seem to be too big and bunch up at the bottom. They fall down every couple weeks as well. The install seemed very rushed. Probably will shop around some more next time or just do them myself after seeing how easy the install was. Overall experience was about a 5/10.
