Rich & Tina Sumampow
The Blind Biz, LLC is a Michigan-based business, family owned by Rich Sumampow. Since starting in 2002, The Blind Biz has doubled in size almost every year. Rich handles every aspect of the business, from the initial call to the installation and beyond.
Rich grew up in Gaylord, Michigan, and graduated from Michigan State with a degree in advertising. After working for the family blind business, he learned everything about window treatments and has grown The Blind Biz into one of the most referred window treatment businesses in Metro Detroit.
In July 2011 he married the love of his life, Tina. Together they enjoy life and have fun with their three kids.
A family business that comes to you
The Blind Biz has been helping Metro Detroit homeowners choose and install window treatments since 2002. From the start, we skipped the showroom. Instead, we bring full-size samples and sample books to your home, where you can see how each fabric, finish and slat looks against your walls and in your light.
That approach keeps our overhead low. We don’t pay showroom rent, we don’t pay decorator commissions, and we don’t hand installations to subcontractors. Those savings go into your price, which is why we can promise the best value in Metro Detroit, guaranteed.
Today we carry 11 product lines, including Hunter Douglas, where we are an authorized dealer, and Norman Window Fashions, where we are a certified partner. What hasn’t changed is how we work: free laser measuring, an itemized quote on the spot, free professional installation, and a family business that answers the phone when you call.
