We just had some of our Day/Night shades restrung by "Day/Night Shades Restrung" in Davenport Florida. We recently ran into Ed & Jackie who work as a team out of Kissimee.
They came to our coach about 15 miles away, restrung three windows and adjusted two others for $60.00.
Ed & Jackie both seem to have a very good understanding of the shades and how they operate. While Ed was finishing up Jackie also provided DW with some cleaning tips.
I asked Ed's permission to post his contact information here. We were very satisfied with his services and prices. They charge $10.00 per string and $5.00 per window to remove or rehang each shade.
He did say he would travel a resonable distance but may have to add $10.00 for gas.
ED & JACKIE 443-605-3618 or ejhild@gmail.com

This post is only an FYI of their services. Not to start a debate on whether to do your own or not. I felt his prices were fair and I was able to set back and watch.

I've never been so frustrated in my life as trying to restring window shades. Wish I was closer, I have 4 for them to do! haha. Nice to hear they did good work and you are satisfied.

Actually my neighbor in the park had one of those kits with the CD. He opted for Ed & Jackie. For $10.00 a string it's hard to pass up.
