Business Spotlight: Beard’s Window Coverings 35 Years of Keeping Service Personal
When customers welcome Beard’s Window Coverings into their homes, they’re welcoming Mark Beard himself. From helping them choose blinds or shades to handling installation and repairs, Mark is the person they work with every step of the way.
It’s an approach that has kept him going strong for 35 years. With most of his business coming through word of mouth, Mark has built his livelihood around a few straightforward principles: be honest, offer a fair price, and respect people’s time.
As a solo business owner, Mark handles the entire process, so customers can ask questions, talk through their options, and plan directly with the person who will be doing the work. He takes pride in that continuity: every customer sees a familiar face from the first conversation through the finished installation.
He also believes good service shows up in the everyday details. Being on time matters to him, and if he’s running behind, he picks up the phone to let his customer know. Keeping people informed is simply part of how he does business.
Mark has lived in the community his entire life and can’t imagine doing business anywhere else. One of his favorite parts of the work is meeting the people who call it home, and after 35 years, those everyday connections still mean a great deal to him.
About six months ago, Mark moved his banking to Kitsap Credit Union. He credits Sara Brown with helping him transfer everything and making the transition smooth, and says Jamie Cremeans, Sarah Hall, and Jennifer Soule have also been especially helpful.
For someone who puts so much care into serving his own customers, that personal attention means a lot. Mark says the helpful staff alone would make him recommend KCU, and he appreciates the rates as well. His only question is why he didn’t make the switch sooner.
