Why Budget Blinds of Williamsburg

Rachelle, with 24 years of window covering experience, including 9 at Budget Blinds, stands out as the most industrious franchise owner in the industry. Her journey began at her kitchen table, crafting cornices and shades by hand. She later acquired a local business and transitioned into retail, specializing in fabrics and custom treatments. Seizing the opportunity to purchase Budget Blinds of Williamsburg further demonstrated her relentless determination. Rachelle's unwavering dedication not only to her business but also to the community she serves has been evident throughout her years of ownership.  As she prepares to solidify her position as one of the top franchise owners in the company, she actively participates in panels within the franchise, providing invaluable guidance to newcomers and those seeking to expand their territorial presence. And yes, when her schedule allows, you can still find her hand-crafting a cornice or two for her clients.

In Lisa's words, "I am a mother, grandmother, chicken and dog lover. I enjoy everything in nature and being outdoors. The best part of my job is that I love people and enjoy helping them solve their window-covering problems. I also enjoy seeing my client's homes because every home is different and each one reflects the style and personality of their owners."

Joe joined Budget Blinds of Williamsburg and has been Rachelle's right and left hands when it came to installation. He's been instrumental in making sure that the products installed look their best and are loved by our customers. As the franchise has grown, Joe has outgrown his role of installer and ascended to Field Manager, leading a dedicated team of installers servicing the Peninsula to ensure that the progress and scope of work that they perform exceed our customers' expectations. 

Throughout his tenure, Joe has cultivated valuable connections, gained extensive industry insights, and aims to leverage this knowledge to contribute to the ongoing growth and expansion of the company. Joe is cherished by both new and returning customers alike.

In his free time, Joe loves to spend time doing anything outdoors and building a family with his 3 amazing little ones and his wonderful wife Jennifer. 

I'm from New Orleans—Go Saints!—and a passionate fan of all sports, from basketball to football to boxing. I'm married and cherish spending my free time with my wife and three children. What I enjoy most about being an installer is the satisfaction of delivering great service to my customers. It truly makes me feel good to see them happy.

In my spare time, I love playing video games and watching movies with my family. I'm a proud parent to five children - three of my own and two bonus kids. As an installer, I enjoy the opportunity to meet new people and discover their unique personalities. This aspect of my work always keeps it interesting and rewarding.
