One of the most basic types of Roman blinds repair is replacing worn-out pull cords. Pull cords on blinds are the part that controls the lowering and lifting of the blinds. When these cords are worn out, they may need restringing or cleaning. The same holds true for outdoor blinds. Despite their durability, they may experience wear and tear if they are not properly installed or maintained.

To begin a roman blinds repair, you should first determine which cords are worn out. Pull the blind down and look for a tangled cord. Pull it out by hand to identify the problem. It may need to be replaced entirely or simply part of it. You can either replace the entire system or simply replace the worn-out pull cords. A more expensive repair may require restringing the entire system or buying new blinds.
