Jimmy’s Drapery and Vertical Shop

Please don’t get turned off by Jimmy’s Drapery Shop’s décor — «beauty is in the eye’s of the beholder!» Like a reviewer said, Jimmy treats you like a he knew you all his life — no b.s. and to the point. He doesn’t have a «showroom» to showcase the drapes/​materials. What happens is you call and he schedules his installer to measure and show the samples. He’ll call you for the estimate and if you decide to hire his services, he asks for a 50% deposit payment — doesn’t take plastic though. Prices were very reasonable. Wayne, his installer, is terrific — very prompt and professional. He’ll remove and clean any old drapes he replaces. I would highly recommend them.
Call in the mornings, shop closes after lunch.

Jimmy’s is awesome. I contacted him to get my drapes and I’m not disappointed. I would tell anyone to contact him for a quality job and good workmanship.

The vertical blinds on our over-​size sliding glass door had seen their better days and it was time, probably beyond time, to replace them. We called several places, but the big box stores had production and installation times months away, and we needed something sooner. We live on the mainland and were going to be at our condo for only a week, so timing was everything.
Jimmy’s Draperies and Vertical Shop is definitely old school, in that he doesn’t have a website or use email, and he doesn’t accept credit cards, (thus the four stars, and not five). He’s old school in a good way in that he makes the blinds himself. When it was time for installation, Wayne called before he arrived and was really nice. He said that he had 46 years of experience installing vertical blinds, and it showed. How one person could install vertical blinds into a cement ceiling on a sliding glass door by himself, was kind of amazing. He did an awesome job. The blinds are really good quality and were exactly what we were expecting. They slide really well and look good.
We are really happy with Jimmy’s Draperies and can definitely recommend them and we would definitely use them again in the future.

Reasonable prices and fast service. Custom made curtains and drapery were purchased for my townhouse. Treated me like a long lost friend. I’m really happy with his job.

I needed to replace some vertical blinds and Jimmy’s Drapery is one of the few places in town that manufactures blinds. In fact, Jimmy’s Drapery and Vertical Shop used to manufacture the blinds for a lot of the drapery shops in town. Lucky for me, he had the replacement blinds in stock and I just had to wait for him to cut them to size.
Jimmy knows the drapery and blinds business, and knows what he’s talking about. He also doesn’t try to sell you something you don’t want.
The shop is in Kalihi off of North King Street. Call Jimmy to get parking instructions. I found parking with no problem.
As a bonus, if you have a moment, Jimmy has plenty of fascinating stories of old-​time Hawaii. Fascinating guy. Reasonable prices. Quick service. This is the kind of shop that I like to do business with because I know Jimmy will remember me the next time I call. He treats customers like old friends. Try to find that at the big-​box stores!
