In 1996, my wife Barbara and I began an exciting venture in the window fashion industry. With over a decade of experience in furniture, interior design, drapery, and upholstery, we launched a business we could operate from home. Our aim? To create a flexible lifestyle that would allow us to enjoy family time with our sons, Sam and Jack, while exploring new horizons. Thus, New Vision Enterprises Inc. was born, focusing on window treatments and blinds. Our decision to start Exciting Windows! By Mini Blind King came from a desire to blend our professional expertise with our values. We wanted to create a work-life balance that would allow us to be present for our children's milestones while also pursuing our passion for interior design and window treatments.
Our story started with a credit card, a handful of samples, and a spark of creativity. We collaborated with a graphic designer for our logo and marketing materials and set out on our path. Inspiration struck when someone playfully dubbed me "The Mini Blind King of Alaska." This catchy title stuck, giving our clients and friends a memorable way to recall our business. The nickname wasn't merely a fun moniker; it became a driving force behind our brand identity. We embraced the royal theme, infusing it into our customer service approach and marketing strategies.
I'm a lifelong Alaskan, and Barbara has been a resident since 1980. We've called the Anchorage area home since 1984. As the main economic center of Alaska, Anchorage was the natural choice for our business headquarters. From here, we proudly serve the entire state, bringing style and practicality to windows across the Last Frontier. We know firsthand the challenges of the long, dark winters and the midnight sun of summers. This knowledge informs our product recommendations, ensuring that our window treatments near Anchorage, AK, address the requirements of local homes and businesses.
As a small family-owned business, every member of our group plays a role. Barbara and I, our sons Sam and Jack, and our colleague Andre are all committed to supporting one another and our clients. Our close-knit team ensures that every project receives the royal treatment, from initial discussion to final installation. I bring my extensive industry knowledge and personable approach to every client interaction. Barbara's eye for design helps clients find the perfect match for their decor. Sam and Jack have grown up in the business, bringing fresh perspectives and tech-savvy solutions, and Andre rounds out the team with his precision installation skills.
When clients contact us, we often begin with a friendly phone conversation about their project. We discuss their requirements, design ideas, budget, and desired timeline. Next, we arrange an in-home or in-business visit to see the space firsthand and learn about their vision. During these consultations, we bring samples and swatches, allowing clients to see different options in their actual space. We consider factors like natural light, existing decor, and the room's purpose to make recommendations for their custom window treatments. Once an order is placed, we treat each home or business as our own, ensuring a clean, efficient installation that minimizes disruption to our clients' daily lives.
We take pride in offering top-quality products, innovative ideas, and attentive customer service. Our goal is to create an enjoyable and straightforward experience for every client. As proud members of our community, we serve with respect and gratitude, always aiming to surpass expectations. Our product range includes various window treatments, from blinds and shades to shutters and draperies. We offer motorized options for additional convenience and smart home integration. Beyond product sales and installation, we provide repair services and consultations on window treatment care and maintenance.
Exciting Windows! By Mini Blind King operates in Anchorage, AK, serving the greater area, including Eagle River, Girdwood, Mat-Su Valley, Wasilla, Big Lake, Meadow Lakes, and Houston, AK. We invite you to experience the royal treatment for yourself. Whether you're looking to update a single window or revamp your entire home or business, we're here to assist.
