Anyone can do this. You shouldn't need a referral. If you're not a DIYer just call any handyman. One would have to be a complete idiot to do this incorrectly.

That's a little harsh. Some people would try it without the right tools. Without a proper level and anchoring the blind could come crashing down or be hung crooked.

OP make sure you watch some videos on hanging blinds to see what complications you can run into and how to avoid them. Home Depot should have any tools your missing, like power drill and level.
