Hauptman Floor & Window Covering Co. is a family owned business located in Jersey City NJ Since 1909. We service and sell to both small and large clients.
"I contacted Gary Solomon at Hauptman to have a my floors refinished and the whole experience was a pleasure. From the start, he was very upfront with pricing and how long it would take to complete the job. My floors are very old (100 years) and they made them look brand new again. I even had to have some repairs done due to a leaking radiator and somehow they managed to match brand new wood with 100 year old wood. I highly recommend this company for all flooring needs. I will use again."

"Update 9/21/22 Here we go again. Today was the second attempt to install our blinds and guess what; there will be a third attempt. The first time around all of our blinds had a horrible odor coming from them so we were forced to return them. In addition to the odor, the installer found that one of the blinds had the cord on the wrong side. The installer notified the store about the issue and they were supposed to make the necessary adjustments. Fast forward to today's install and sure enough, they ordered those same blinds wrong again. I tried calling the office several times, but as expected, nobody answers the phone. Installer - 5 Stars Carle Place Store - 0 Stars ***Order number 277126*** At approximately 3pm on 09/01/2022 (when the installation window was supposed to be 10am-12pm), I had (5) serenity blinds installed in my home. While they were being installed, my wife and I noticed a very unpleasant odor. I originally thought that the odor was coming from the installer, but after he left, the odor remained. I then went to smell the blinds and each of them had an overwhelming chemical odor that smelled similar to garlic or onion. At 5:15pm, I contacted the Blinds To Go Store # 232 and notified them of the issue. I was told that someone would reach out to me regarding the issue. At 7:11pm, I received a call back from Zora at the Store # 232. Zora stated that she had contacted the installer to find out if they were exposed to any kind of unusual odor, to which she was told they were not. Zora then said it could be some kind of chemical from the factory and to let them air out for a few days to see if the odor dissipated. My family and I left our home, and when we returned we could not believe how horrible our entire home smelled. It was so bad that my wife actually started gagging as if she was going to vommit. We opened some windows to try and help. Waking up the next morning the smell was just as bad. On 09/02/2022, My wife and I returned the blinds to store # 232 because our family could not bear the smell any longer. After doing some research, we are now concerned that we may have been exposed to some kind of toxic chemical - either formaldehyde or acrylonitrile. I have tried contacting the corporate office and customer service, but nobody answers the phone. It is impossible to get through to anyone at the Carle Place location; they never answer the phone there. We felt it best to show up at the store with the blinds to avoid the frustration and headache of trying to get someone on the phone. We were greeted by very unpleasant staff who did not even lift their heads up to say hello to us. We are extremely unhappy with the whole process of this, from ordering the blinds, waiting three months for them to be manufactured and then finally receiving them to only have them smell toxic. Furthermore, one of the blinds could not even be installed as it was measured incorrectly. I would appreciate a response today before I have to seek legal advice on this matter."

If you're wondering whether repairing your blinds is worth it, consider the quality and age of your blinds. For high-end or custom blinds, repairing them can preserve their quality, functionality, and design, making repair a smart choice. Immediate repairs maintain the original look and performance. However, if your blinds are over six years old, extensively damaged, or of lower quality, replacing them might be more cost-effective, as new blinds offer better efficiency and modern technology. Weigh the repair costs against the benefits of replacement to make the best decision for your situation.
When damage undermines the integrity and appearance of your blinds, replacement becomes the clear option. You should replace your blinds when damage to slats or fabric prevents you from obtaining an exact match, thereby compromising appearance and function. Severe damage increases repair complexity and expense. Replacing blinds not only restores superior performance but also creates an opportunity for aesthetic upgrades and lasting benefits.
You should plan to replace your blinds at least every 10 years, with clear signs of wear, such as discoloration, deterioration, or functional issues, emerging by five years. Regular evaluation of style, quality, and performance supports an informed decision. While minor repairs may temporarily extend usability, a complete replacement secures optimal operation and updated design.
Establish a regular maintenance routine to keep your blinds looking and functioning their best. Clean them regularly with mild, specialized products and follow the manufacturer's recommended usage guidelines. UV-blocking window film can protect against fading and warping from sun exposure. Regular inspections and proactive maintenance will preserve their appearance and performance, extending their overall lifespan.
If you pull the blind string and it does not move, it indicates a malfunction in the mechanism, such as a broken cord, a jammed cord lock, or a stuck component. Inspect the string for breaks and examine the headrail for any obstructions. Replace the defective cord or cord lock as necessary to restore proper operation and maintain functionality.
Yes, you can replace your blind string yourself by using a replacement kit available at home improvement stores. Accurate measurement of the string diameter is essential for a perfect fit. Gather the necessary tools and follow the manufacturer’s instructions rigorously to secure a safe, lasting fix. If the task demands more time than anticipated, hiring a professional is advisable to avoid further damage.
