Comparison
Bloom Bug Vs Costco
Both have their place. Costco is the value play for ready-made blinds; Bloom Bug is the custom-fit, locally-installed screen and blind shop in Coquitlam. Here's an honest look at where each one wins.
Shoppers comparing Costco's blinds to a custom screen shop usually fall into two camps: fitting standard windows on a budget, or solving a real problem — odd sizes, pets, patio doors, bugs, and screens that actually last. Costco handles the first well. Bloom Bug Vs Costco exists for the second.
| Bloom Bug | Costco | |
|---|---|---|
| Fit & sizing | Measured and custom-built to each opening | Standard ready-made sizes, trimmed to fit |
| What they sell | Window screens, patio door screens, retractable, metal mesh, blinds | Ready-made blinds, shades and some accessories |
| Mesh options | Standard, pet-rated, and durable metal mesh (rare specialty) | Blinds only — no insect mesh |
| Installation | Professional measuring & install across Metro Vancouver | DIY install; third-party install varies by region |
| Service area | Local Coquitlam workshop, BC-wide shipping for DIY | National warehouse / online, self-serve |
| After-sale support | Direct line to the local shop that built it | Warehouse return counter |
Where Bloom Bug wins
- • Custom measuring for non-standard windows and patio doors
- • Durable metal mesh — one of the few shops in BC that offers it
- • Local installation and re-screening across Metro Vancouver
- • You deal with the shop that built it, not a return counter
Where Costco wins
- • Lowest sticker price on standard blind sizes
- • Warehouse convenience and easy returns
- • A safe pick if your windows are all common sizes and you DIY
The short version: if every window in your home is a standard size and you just want blinds, Costco is a sensible budget choice. If you need screens, custom fits, metal mesh, or local install — that's where Bloom Bug Vs Costco comes in. See our products →
