We ordered four motorized shades for our sliding glass doors. It is great having them open and close on schedule via the app. Zingas had to come out a second time to make adjustments. The home office worked with me and the field crew (Todd, Rob) to ensure my concerns were met. Todd and Rob were both courteous and professional during the installation and adjustments.
Phil and Todd did an excellent job with my shade installation. They arrived on time, were professional throughout the entire visit, and treated my home with care and respect. They were courteous, efficient, and clearly knew what they were doing. I really appreciated how smooth and stress-free the process was. I would absolutely recommend them to other customers looking for reliable and respectful installers.
Zingas did an excellent job for my lanai, already loving the new space this time of year in Florida. Misty was very professional and kept me informed throughout the process.
Had a great experience with Adrian. He was prompt, on time, efficient, and came prepared to answer our questions and concerns, tailoring the products to our needs. Would highly recommend across the Tampa Bay area.
I am writing to share my appreciation for the excellent work done by your installation team, specifically, Phil, Todd, and Rob. Although, the amount of time that it took from the initial order, to install, seemed a bit excessive (3.5 months), I am very pleased with the blinds installation and the professional service provided. The team was efficient, detail-oriented, and ensured everything was perfect before finishing the job. Thank you for the great experience and for the high-quality work. Troy
Great job and faster. Our back yard look great. Thank you Happy 😊 family
Adrian came out to show me options for my back sliders. He was extremely professional, and knowledgeable. I really appreciate his expertise and very excited to get my new shades for the back sliders! Thank you to Adrian & Zingas!
Adrian came over and went through the process and what all is entailed with their products. He knew everything about his craft and could answer any question. An expert at navigation what is best for the customer and helped us come to the best option for our needs. We had his competitors out to give us quotes and they were inferior products, knowledge and pricing. I would highly recommend them to friends and family.
My installer Andrew was wonderful. Couldn’t believe how fast he got everything done. Polite and knowledgeable I certainly recommend this company Zinga’s for your window treatments EXCELLENT
Adrian Brown helped me choose the perfect window treatments for my home. He had ideas and suggestions that truly captured exactly what I was looking for. I am looking forward to installation day! Thank you Zinga’s! Todd did the installation of my Zebra shades. He was professional and exacting with the job; great work all around by Zinga’s!
Adrian was fantastic. He carefully explained all of the details on the motorized shades and how the product was to be installed. He did not rush us on making a decision or try to sell something we did not want. Buying from Adrian was a good experience and I would recommend his services to others.
Zinga's was great to work with from start to finish. I had a sales person, Cristian (from Sarasota office) come into my house to help me design the custom plantation shutters and motorized shade for my windows. He brought samples and answered all my questions. Very low pressue and super easy. Products took about 12 weeks to be made and installed. The install process was also easy, Phil and Todd were friendly and professional. The new shutters/shades make the house look complete. Would use Zinga's again in the future
Adrian was amazing. He explained the process of getting the best product and price to me in a way I could not resist buying. His personality is pleasant and his presentation outstanding. It was a pleasure to invite him into my home.
I just had an in-home consultation with Adrian from Zingas for motorized window treatments, and I couldn't be more impressed. From the moment he arrived, Adrian was pleasant, professional, and incredibly knowledgeable. His English accent was a charming bonus, but what truly stood out was his ability to explain every detail of the product clearly and thoroughly. There was absolutely no pressure to purchase which I appreciated. I was referred to Zingas by a friend an I'm so glad I asked her who she used. I did get a quote from a different company, and while the price was lower, the quality didn't come close to what Zingas offers. Adrian's expertise and the product itself made the choice easy. Highly recommend both Adrian and Zingas if your considering window treatments
Adrian was so helpful explaining the whole process of getting a retractable awning installed on my patio. He made me feel very comfortable with the product and the service I would receive with Zinga’s. He was very professional, kind and knowledgeable. 10/10 recommend.
We had a fantastic experience with Adrian, our design consultant from Zinga’s Blinds, Shutters and Shades. Adrian was punctual, professional, and extremely knowledgeable. He took the time to carefully measure every window in our home and gave us thoughtful recommendations to help us make the best choices for our space and style. His attention to detail and design insight made the whole process smooth and enjoyable — we never felt rushed or pressured. We’ve placed our order and are looking forward to seeing the finished product. We’ll be sure to update this review with our experience on product quality and installation once everything is complete. Highly recommend Adrian and the Zinga’s team so far - excellent service and expertise!
