hi desi's, I recently moved to a rental condo, I need to purchase and install blinds for two floor to ceiling windows (bedroom and living room), where can I purchase and get it professionally installed (Mississauga sq1 area) and how much will it cost for basic vertical blinds? any references are appreciated, thanks

The options are either Home Depot, Blindstogo or even your local flea market.

The cheapest option is to go through flea market as he will install a good blind for a fair price.

The stores like Walmart, Zellers and others offer standard sized blind. While you can get the exact size cut at Home Depot.

The widest range is offered by Blinds to go but they are comparitievely expensive. Incidentally they have professional installers who will charge a minimum of $75 for installation.

Hence I'll first measure the blinds and try the sizes at Walmart or Homedepot and try to install it myself as it just involves putting 2 screwes into the wall or the ceiling.

If you are not confident then you should go to your nearest flea market and get a price installed. Usually they give a fixed rate per blind. The PVC blinds might be around 30 bucks while faux wood blinds or even aluminum blinds will be more than 60 bucks based on the size.

There is this Srilankan tamil guy in the Mississauga flea market next to Canadian Tire on Mavis/Dundas. He is on the back side wall and he is from Brampton. I suggest you go with the exact measurement of the windows and then get a quote from him and then try your luck in the Home Depot on the opposite side of the road and you can decide within a few minutes.

The mississauga flea market is open 9 to 6 saturday/sunday.
