I’ll coordinate your project with my installers and be on site during the installation to ensure all goes according to plan.

”Windows are like a beautiful little black dress ready for that awesome piece of jewelry or accessory to set them apart. When a window is treated correctly, taking into consideration its surroundings, it completes a space. I absolutely love how fabrics and trims warm up a room and soften a window, lending to an inviting place for friends and family to enjoy.” ~Gillian Wendel

Gillian was awesome to work with, had lots of great ideas ordered as many samples as I needed to make a decision. She will work with your budget and will give you options to stay in budget. Gillian promised a finish date and was right on time. She arrived the day of the install and stayed with the installers until my window treatments were perfect. The finished product added so much to my living room, I can't wait to start the next project! Highly recommend Wendel Works!!!

I couldn't recommend Gillian and Wendel Works more highly. From start to finish she impressed me with her professionalism and desire to make sure every detail was perfect. She asked me all the right questions to guarantee the product she was creating and delivering was exactly what I wanted (and needed). Additionally, I am as happy four years later as the day everything was installed. Beautiful work and craftsmanship that is standing the test of time!

Her professionalism , creativity, and workmanship were top quality. From the beginning of the process she set my mind at ease by clearly communicating the time table and budget.. Her attention to detail in design, quality of material, and craftsmanship were excelleInt. I highly recommend Wendel Works.

Our experience with Wendel Works was excellent. We absolutely love our shutters, and the craftsmanship of the product is exceptional. All work was completed as promised, as well as the time frame. I have looked at others' shutters and these are a much higher quality! Best home improvement I could have invested in!
