The Mongillos purchased the franchise in April from Budget Blinds, the largest and fastest-growing window covering company of its kind in the country. The couple serves the North Central Connecticut region and will come to your home or business with the products. The in-home shopping experience offered by Budget Blinds of Enfield eliminates the guesswork of showroom shopping, and is very convenient.

The Mongillos have extensive backgrounds in sales, marketing, electrical engineering, and construction management. They will oversee the smallest of details to help you “renew your views,” and they know that changing your window treatments can have a big impact on your home décor.

With Budget Blinds of Enfield, there is no commercial project too big and no residential project too small. They can handle any window coverings, with free in-home (or business) consultations, and expert measuring and installation. They will work with you to determine the best product, for any budget, to help you fulfill your window covering needs.

According to Laurie Mongillo, Budget Blinds, based in Orange, CA, was founded in 1992 and boasts more than 800 fran­chise territories, serving nearly 2,000 cities in 46 states. “Entrepreneur Magazine” has ranked Budget Blinds first in its category every year since 1994. The company’s CEO, Chad Hallock, was featured in an April edition of the CBS television show, “Undercover Boss,” and if you missed the episode and would like to see it, it will re-air on July 20 on CBS.

Be sure to check out the new swatch program on the corporate Web site at www.budgetblinds.com. Customers are invited to compare materials and colors by requesting up to 10 free swatches of Signature Series window treatments.
