Jerger Window Fashions of Chicago

Michael Jerger is an EXPERT in the business of window fashions. I work as an interior designer with my own firm, and i bring Michael Jerger and the Jerger window fashion team with me to EVERY project. Michael Jerger will problem solve, cost estimate, creatively design and collaborate on your project resulting in a cohesive, sophisticated product with the architecture he is provided. You will not be disappointed with Michael and his team, I can promise this. I would write a positive testimonial every day to support Jerger window fashions.

The first time we used them we had a great experience. They came to our house and made sure that the drapes fit our bedroom décor perfectly. The second time they didn’t seem to care what we picked as long as it was a more expensive fabric. The drapes had a blackout liner with a big gaping hole. The shades had a cord that kept on breaking. They actually had a replacement part but took weeks to call me back about it. It doesn’t matter because it keeps on breaking anyway with normal use. I would not use them again.

This review is long overdue!
We bought a new home and needed window coverings throughout. It was a pretty big job. While Jerger was not the cheapest nor were they the most expensive of the quotes we received, I enjoyed working with Michael Jerger and his team of installers, Glenn and Jeremy.
We had Mike create custom shades and curtains in our kitchen/​family room, master bedroom, kids bedroom, guest room and home office. They also created custom velvet curtains with sheers for our living/​dining room, sheers for our family room. Like I said, it was a big job!
I uploaded many pictures; feel free to peruse.
Overall we are delighted with the finished products, especially our master bedroom. The turnaround took a bit longer than expected, probably 3 – 4 months total from start to finish. The velvet curtains in our living room and the cotton curtains in my son’s room don’t quite hang right but I know if I called them to come back out and fix it, they would be right here, so I’m not worried about it. Disclaimer: the curtains all sit along vents so they are constantly being blown out when the heat or air is on.
If you have your own fabric choices, as I did for 2 rooms, Mike is happy to use whatever you want him to use. You aren’t just confined to what they have to offer, which is still a pretty big selection.
We receive compliments all the time and people often ask who did we use.
All in all, forget the big box stores. Infuse some cash in your local neighborhood and call Jerger for your window coverings.

First off, they are very nice people to do business with, however, there have been issues from the start. I went in to get window treatments for my living room. the sales man did a good job of translating a picture I had into a workable drawing of what I wanted. When the drapes arrived they were nice but not really close to the picture I had shown them. The next more serious issue was that when the treatments were installed I found out the guy quoted me a price for stationary drapes which essentially are fake drapes. I didn’t know there were such a thing as fake drapes. So what I got was a beautiful top treatment with side panels. Its a good thing I ordered sheers or my window would have just been open. The owner handled the issue regarding the useless side panels quite well, only after first trying to make it seem like I should have known better. My question to him was who orders window treatments without drapes? I went to a custom designer with the expectation that all bases would be covered. I would not have been paying him if I was supposed to think of every thing myself (that’s his job). After we worked that out I had to wait another 6 weeks for my drapes. They came in fine but then after a few weeks I realized I had no tie backs for my drapes. I called the owner and sent an email asking how much for the tie backs. I have not heard a word from him. That was over a year ago. Nice people but you are taking your chances. After spending over 4500.00 I think I deserved to at least get some matching tie backs, don’t you?

We recently had our entire home measured for blinds and installed by Jerger Window Fashions. After receiving many quotes and reading many reviews, Jerger appeared to be the best quality for the right price. From the beginning, Chuck was eager to help us, looking up information about new types of Hunter Douglas blinds for us, making sure we were knowledgeable about everything we were paying for and making the right decisions. The blinds came in quickly, they were installed professionally, and he even replaced a blind immediately when he saw a slight tear. We have had an excellent experience with this company as they have been very professional and their follow-​up has been fantastic.

We have worked with Jerger since moving into our first Chicago condo in 1996. We have lived in a second condo and now our single famly home. Jerger has always been our first call when we’re in need of any type of window covering. Chuck Jerger is an all around great guy, very friendly, professional and we always feel like we’re in good hands during the ordering process. He’s even made suggestions to reappropirate older window coverings to another part of our house, instead of trying to push an entirely new order! Jerger has earned our respect, building a longterm working relationship, which good for customers like us, and good for their business. Highly recommended.

We were very pleased with the quality and service of Jerger. This just isn’t their job, it’s the family reputation so they made sure everything was right and we were completely satisfied. As time went on, we called and wanted a few adjustments made — they came out right away and refused to charge us anything additional.
We trust Jerger completely and recommend them to anyone who cares about quality.

I just had my drapes installed by Jerger Draperies and I couldn’t be happier. Jan was very knowledgable and helpful in the process of picking out the drapes. Chuck and Glenn were wonderful to work with during the installation process. They left the area cleaner than when they arrived.
The new drapes are beautiful and it was a pleasure to work with a local business.
