Broken Cords Stop Working at the Worst Time

Blind Repair and Restringing in Irvine with Eldon Drapery & Blind Service

You pull the cord in your Irvine home and the blind tilts unevenly, jams halfway up, or refuses to move at all. Slats hang crooked, strings fray where they pass through the headrail, and you realize the brand stopped making replacement parts years ago.

Repairs are completed in-shop to ensure precision and durability, restoring proper operation and extending blind lifespan. This service is ideal for homes and offices with aging or hard-to-replace blinds that still fit the window well.

What Gets Fixed and How Long It Takes

When you drop off blinds at the Irvine location, the technician inspects cords, tilt mechanisms, ladders, and mounting brackets to identify what needs replacement. Restringing involves threading new cord through each slat, adjusting tension, and securing ladder stops so slats lift evenly.

After repair, you notice blinds raise to the top without sagging, cords pull smoothly without sticking, and slats tilt fully closed again. Backed by long-standing repair expertise dating back to 1904, Eldon Drapery & Blind Service handles systems other shops refuse or no longer service.

Turnaround time typically ranges from one to two weeks depending on parts availability and repair complexity. Available for residential and commercial clients, the service covers wooden, metal, and vinyl blinds across most manufacturer lines.

You Probably Have a Few Questions

Before bringing blinds in, most people want to know what can actually be fixed, how much it costs compared to replacement, and whether discontinued models are repairable.

What blind problems can you repair?
Eldon Drapery & Blind Service repairs broken cords, stripped gears, stuck tilt rods, damaged slats, and worn ladders. You bring the blind in, and the technician evaluates what needs replacement to restore function.
How long does blind repair take?
Most repairs are completed in one to two weeks, depending on parts sourcing and the number of blinds in the queue. You receive a call when your blind is ready for pickup in Irvine.
Can you fix blinds from brands that no longer exist?
Yes, repair and restringing work on discontinued models. Generic parts and custom fabrication allow most older systems to be restored, even when original replacements are unavailable.
What does restringing involve?
Restringing replaces frayed or broken lift cords and ladder strings, then adjusts tension so slats raise and lower evenly. The process prevents further slat misalignment and extends the life of the blind.
Is repair cheaper than buying new blinds?
Repair often costs less than full replacement, especially for larger or custom blinds. You keep the exact fit and finish without remeasuring, reordering, or reinstalling new hardware.

Repaired blinds in Irvine homes operate like new again, saving the cost and hassle of shopping for replacements that may not match your existing windows. Get in touch with Eldon Drapery & Blind Service at (310) 514-1242 to restore function to your blinds.
