Comparison
Bloom Bug vs Great Blinds
Both have their place. Great Blinds is a convenient pick for ready-made blinds shipped to your door; 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 Great Blinds to a custom screen shop usually fall into two camps: buying standard blinds online, or solving a real problem — odd sizes, pets, patio doors, bugs, and screens that actually last. Great Blinds handles the first well. Bloom Bug vs Great Blinds exists for the second.
