Drapery Tradition Review

Mario and Drapery Tradition has always taken great care of us for over 30 years now. Love our shutters and the attention to detail he always helps with. Can't wait for him to do our new kitchen windows to see what ideas
we can come up with. Thank you Mario and your crew at Drapery Tradition. We highly recommend them to all our family and friends. Give them a try he won't disappoint.

From start to finish the selection and installation went perfectly. We know we can count on their word regarding expected time of installation and the cost. We intend to have Mario do another job in the near future.

We had Mario install a variety of different window treatments in our new home. We had other bids for the job, but Mario came in with the best price. Mario and his staff were very knowledgeable and helpful which made our choices easy. I would highly recommend Drapery Traditions.

Hey those Hunter Douglas Vinyl shutters still look sharp after all these years. The material is incredible! I love my blinds and I love Drapery Tradition. Mario offers great service and great products. Originally called him to install a sun shade blind for my kitchen window and sliding door. Ended up having him do shutters in my living room too. He was easy to work with and has many years of experience. His installer was professional and experienced. The installer laid down padded drop cloths to ensure he did not scratch my wood floors while working. Overall a great experience.

Mario at Drapery Traditions is a hands on Sub Contractor. He stayed on top of Material lead times and communicated with us when there was a delay. We were able to notify the Tenant who adjusted their schedule accordingly.

Mario was great to work with. They showed up on time, did quality work and installed beautiful plantation shutters .

For over 30 years Mario at Drapery Traditions has provided the very best service for my home and my rental properties. The quality of the work, the value, the products, and most of all the customer service all warrant five stars.

Mario with Drapery Tradition updated my window treatments on two different occasions and provided great service and quality of products. I have known Mario for more than 20 years and he has always been honest and very helpful to listen to my needs. He has also coached both my sons in sports and he was a great mentor to them. I highly recommend Drapery Tradition as you will be very pleased with their service.

Several years ago, my parents ordered wood blinds, and I just had Hunter Douglas plantation shutters installed in my living and dining rooms. For both my parents' and my own project, I was extremely pleased with the service provided by Mario and his team. They were efficient, easy to work with, and gave me good advice. Installation was handled in an extremely professional manner. Drapery Tradition delivers the kind of customer service we all wish everyone provided. A top-notch company!

Purchased window coverings in 2014 with Drapery Tradition and was satisfied with the overall experience. Returned in 2019 to purchase 2 more window coverings without any hesitation.

Mario is always accommodating and consistent. I have purchased blinds and shades for many of our rooms over the years from Drapery Tradition and Mario is consistent and a consummate professional in helping me figure out what suits our needs, looks best and always at the best price.

It is a very nice store that God bless and keep you

Mario and Jamie were delightful to work with. They were very willing to do whatever it took to find window coverings that I both liked and fit my budget. The turn-around time from measuring to install was very quick! I can recommend Drapery Traditions without hesitation.

Outstanding service. Quality and timely installation. Mario and his team are awesome!

I have used Drapery Traditions for years for my shutters and blinds. They have excellent customer service and the quality of the materials is great! I have never had a problem and have always been thrilled with the products.

Wonderful working with Mario Papazzi and his crew. The job was done very professionally, wonderful customer service. The prices were very good, the products were of exceptional quality, installed with little disruption and we are very happy customers. We have had 7 custom shutters and 2 custom sliding door shutters completed by Drapery Tradition. Excellent service!

Excellent service, installation, and quality of window coverings. He is very competitively priced! My family and I have used Mario s business (Drapery Traditions) for over 30 years in our various homes for window coverings. Always extremely happy with the quality of the product and installation. He comes to our home for measure and brings samples galore to choose from so there is a always a perfect fit and a perfect color match with our decor. I recently bought a condo and found out that he did the beautiful window coverings for the recreation room and the gym. Word of mouth is the BEST advertising!! I like using individual business owners instead of the big box stores. Thanks Mario for your many years of great service!

Mario Pappazi and his company, Drapery Tradition have professionally and expertly advised me on product choices and then installed those products in four different homes for me in the last 40 years. All without a single issue whatsoever!
I have also referred Mario and Drapery Tradition to many friends and family members and they too have always felt that the overall value and fantastic service exceeded their expectations. Last year, Mario was given the opportunity to bid on the 8 very large windows in the Recreation Center in my Senior Community I live in. He impressed the Board with his products and knowledge, received the go ahead and managed the project perfectly from start to finish. Everyone has commented on the excellent look and effect it has had in this popular area in our community.
One of my favorite business statements when talking about the longevity of a successful business is that you may be able to fool the public for 40 hours or 40 days but certainly not 40 years which happens to be the length of time that Drapery Tradition and Mario have proudly done business in San Diego County.
So, whether it is for your home or for your business, I wholeheartedly recommend Mario and Drapery Tradition to anyone and if I could give his company 6 Stars, I would.

Great customer service. Was able to purchase the drapery within my budget! Highly recommend!

Mario installed blinds throughout a new home that we bought. The timely manner that he did to order and install was great. It was one less stress that we had. Mario and his staff helped us pick the right product for each room. After it was installed we were happy with the quality of work they did . There was no mess to clean after. Every box that was brought down was put back into their van.

I purchased Duette Honeycomb blinds 5 years ago from Mario and they still work like a charm!! He is the best in town!! Thank you for all you do.

Friendly, professional, easy to work with. Worked to help me find the most cost effective option. And, most importantly, My shades look wonderful. Will definitely call Drapery Tradition for my window covering needs in the future.

We are so happy with our shutters - top quality at an affordable price!! Mario is amazing to work with. He truly goes above and beyond for his clients. I highly recommend Drapery Traditions!

We highly recommend Drapery Tradition. Quality work and product. We trust them with the installation and excellent quote for shades. Fast service and courteous staff. Dependable.

Excellent service. Mario really listened to what I wanted and made good suggestions that helped it all come together and within budget. The payments were easy and the blinds arrived on time. Great follow-up and personal treatment by Mario.

Mario provides an honest and competitive quote, provides realistic delivery/installation dates, and the quality of work is excellent. That's all you can ask!

Quality, responsible, small business company I would love to do business with again. Fair pricing, excellent customer service, came in ahead of schedule and on-budget. Thank you!!!

We were looking to get new window coverings throughout the house so we called Drapery Tradition Blinds and Shades. The owner Mario came to our house personally and took measurements of all the windows and sat down with us and reviewed all the different options and styles available. I never realized how overwhelming it can be to choose window coverings until I started researching types and brands. However, with years of experience and a good eye for what would work in our different living spaces, Mario was able to make the process not only simple but enjoyable. He didn t try to up-sell us at all and we are extremely happy with in the choices he helped us make. The new window coverings really helped give our home the modern clean look we were aiming for. Not to mention Mario also showed up on the day of installation to make sure everything went smoothly. That is the type of personal attention to detail I appreciate from contractors and vendors. I would highly recommend Drapery Tradition to anyone looking to get new window coverings.

Drapery Tradition is the best there is! We are very happy with our shutters they look amazing! Mario is the best!

Mario and Drapery Tradition has been taking care of our family for generations, it started with my Aunts window coverings, and then he did
the family Tuna Boat window coverings. A lot of our cousins have used Mario for their window needs including my parents, my brother, sister, myself and lots of cousins. Thanks Mario for taking good care of our family. Keep it up.

The hunter Douglas shutters I received had gaps where the ends met. I called Drapery Traditions and was told that is just the way they come and there is nothing they could do about it. After Drapery Traditions received the previous review they came to my house and made the necessary adjustments and I am satisfied with the results.

Mario always gives the customer the best advice...and I end up loving all his suggestions. Service above par, product is superb, installer great...the Best!

Great service - when you call, the phone is answered and Mario will be at your house to take measurements and show samples that day!

This is the 3rd time I have used Drapery Tradition. Mario has done an excellent job each time. I would highly recommend Drapery Tradition.

We had Mario install some Hunter Douglas blinds (Duette Honeycomb) in 2007. The recent heat caused them to de-laminate and fall apart between the cells. With very little effort, Mario was able to help us engage HD, and we were provided brand new replacement shades at no cost. We were expecting a battle with Hunter Douglas because it is never clear when they say "lifetime guarantee" (who's lifetime?) and they have all of their caveats on their paperwork that gives them a lot of wiggle room on if they want to cover it. Super happy that Mario supported us and we will always recommend him.

We just had Shutters installed. They are simply gorgeous! I had no idea how much they would change our home inside and outside. Mario was amazing to work with. I can not believe I put this off for several years. It was as easy as pick the style, pay, and install. Its really nice to work with honest people and support our local businesses! Thanks Mario!!!!

I have used Drapery Traditions for almost 17 years
and have had the most amazing service from Mario.
Thank you, Mario

Mario and his staff are like family. Drapery Tradition is my go to place for all my window coverings. They have done several projects for our family and are very helpful on recommending the correct window coverings for each room. We discovered Mario and Drapery Tradition after ThreeDay Blinds totally screwed up the shutter project on one of our homes. They only carry the best products in my opinion. I learned long ago, that you get what you pay for. If you want the best products at a great price along with super customer service, give them a call, you wont be disappointed.
