Hi Robert,
Any link to your repair kit ?

Hi Owen
We have some kind of honeycomb blinds from Coronado too - there's one
'cell' that extends across the full width. We have no reason not to
recommend Coronado, they came out to measure and everything fits great.
I have my own repair kit to replace broken cords - bought online. It's
pretty easy really and for about $60 for the kit it saves a $100+ call
out each time for the blind man. The kit allows purchase of different
lengths allowing repairs on dozens of blinds. Repairs have become
necessary after about 12 years of use. By taking them down myself also
gives me the chance to clean off moth marks and such. If I was buying
replacements I'd ask about cleaning and materials that might resist
moth/bug marks better.

Owen, my blinds are all “duette” blinds, sort of the same as
honeycomb. They were bought by the previous owner (so we’re going
back almost thirty years). She bought them from Brother Sun, Sister
Moon (or vice versa). Brother Sun etc. isn’t very good about
servicing them—the cords eventually rot in the Santa Fe sun, and
Brother Blah Blah had no advice on this—but Coronado has given me
several names over the years of people who will come to the house and
restring the blinds. If I had it to do over again, I’d go with
Coronado (on Cerrillos) from the get-go.
In fact, one of their recommended guys, who I’ve used before, is
coming tomorrow afternoon to restring three blinds. These are for big
windows and are far too big for me to handle by taking them down to
the shop.

Yet Another Santa Fe Question:
We're looking for "honey comb shades" or similar insulating window
blinds and wonder where to go? We've got a lot of windows that are
heating up the house and need replacement blinds, the current ones
are pretty beat up.
Lowe's and Home Depot is obvious, but I wonder if anyone has
experience with others .. cause we're a bit reluctant about
Lowe's/Home. But hey, if they work, that's fine too.
Any recommendations? Thanks.
