I highly recommend David for anyone looking to install shutters or zebra blinds. What truly sets him apart is not just the quality of his work, but his exceptional customer service and integrity. David installed zebra blinds in my home about 7.5 years ago, when they were still relatively new to the market. Even today, guests regularly compliment how beautiful and modern they look. The quality of the product and installation has truly stood the test of time. Recently, after more than seven years, I reached out to him for another home project. To my surprise, he still remembered me and even remembered the neighborhood I lived in. He came by to help without hesitation and continues to provide free support for any concerns or questions related to the products he installed years ago. That level of after-sales service is incredibly rare these days. I've recommended David to several friends over the years, and every one of them has been happy with his workmanship, fair pricing, and professionalism. What I appreciate most is his honesty--he gives truthful recommendations, patiently answers every question (and I always have plenty before placing an order!), and never pressures you into buying something you don't need. If you're looking for someone who stands behind his work long after the installation is complete, David is the person to call. It's refreshing to work with someone who genuinely cares about his customers. Thank you, David, for your outstanding service over the years! read more

This review is long over due, David is the man. Had him come by my house last year to take a look at a few windows I needed shutters on. I'm so happy I chose him. Great product at a reasonable price. read more

I'm not one to usually write a review and have never written a negative review in my life, but the lack of communication and zero accountability here has lead me to post this. My wife and I made our order and paid the down payment on March 16th. We were told there was a chance we would get some of the order within 2 weeks and potentially could take up to 6 weeks for delivery. We never received an update after weeks passed, and after my wife tried calling and emailing multiple times we received one email a month later saying they would check status on our order...then we did not get a text until May 6th saying status was delayed. We've tried calling and texting multiples times with no response for the last 2 weeks and now we are coming on 10 weeks with no blinds and no status on where our order is. This is extremely frustrating especially with our down payment (50% up front). It does not seem like this is the norm for this company but our experience has been terrible so far. Hopefully they can make this right. read more

The best! Get 1 million compliments and referred them to quite a few people they look beautiful in our master bedroom and our spare room in our hallway and will be getting them again soon in our living room because our kitchen is almost done!! highly recommend them read more

Love our roller blinds from David! We had them installed on huge sliding glass doors and loved them so much that we called him back for more in another room. The windows in that room are high up, so we got a remote for those and loved it. They are so convenient and get rid of the bright glare. David goes above and beyond. Thank you! read more

BEWARE July 2026: Don't usually post comments on Yelp but we feel we have been scammed bc of awful CS. Used them before with great results. Had to replace a large front room window shade bc cord broke. David came out took the order and $1K of our money and said 2 wks BTW we don't accept CC anymore . Well guess what that was 2 wks ago and they have shuttered this business and Malina says now 4 wks (if she responds) it's BS. This in NOT how you treat your customers if you are going out of business. Not sure where we go from here but definitely somewhere else. read more

Great customer service -- highly recommended! David provides excellent service; he is professional, patient, and reliable. We had some issues with 3 out of 6 shutters, and they agreed to replace all six without any questions asked. Outstanding service! read more

I can't say enough about Melina and David's care for customers! 4 years after getting our blinds from them they still attend to every request. You can't go wrong with Socal shades and shutters. Last month the mechanical piece of one of our shades finally gave out. As it was older the vendor didn't have the proper replacement anymore. Melina and David made sure our shade got fixed and look as good as new. Thank you!! read more

Updated review: I think it was an honest mistake that they missed our message regarding the shutters needing repair. Melina reached out, was very responsive and we were able to have our shutters repairs even 5 years later. Definitely go with So Cal Shades and Shutters if you are looking for good quality shutters. We've gotten shutters from them for 4 of our rooms including our living room, bedrooms and office. They are high quality and make your house look very elegant. read more

Wonderful working with David. Very professional and well understand customer needs as well as patient and polite. Absolutely recommend working with him and his team. Thank you David! read more

I really appreciate David for making the process easy and seamless. Quoting, measuring and install were a breeze. He installed new shutters and roller blinds on several windows at my house. I can't say enough about the attention to detail, service and great pricing. I highly recommend So Cal Shades and Shutters. Great experience beginning to end. read more

The whole process was super easy and fast. We got a solid recommendation and ball park estimate on the first visit. When we decided to move forward, they came back for exact measurements and quote. Fair and reasonable pricing. Everything was ready on the timeline they told us and installation was a breeze. We will definitely be repeat customers. Thank you! read more

We recently had new shades and shutters installed throughout our home, and the entire experience was nothing short of exceptional from start to finish. David was incredible to work with. He took the time to listen to both my preferences and my husband's, and somehow found the perfect options that suited both our tastes and desires. He guided us through selecting styles, materials, and even helped choose colors that complemented each room beautifully. David demonstrates patience and professionalism. He did the installation himself and the results are stunning--our home feels warmer, brighter, and more "us" than ever before. Please do not hesitate to work with So Cal Shades & Shutters! read more

I had to get all new blinds for my house and chose So Cal Shades and Shutters and have been more than pleased. The selection and quality were great, solid prices, the installation was great and they really stand by their products and services. My expectations have definitely been exceeded. Highly recommended. read more

David came to our home with the samples showing different options for shades. He was courteous, patient and knowledgeable in guiding us to pick the right ones for our new home and also fit in our budget. He was not pushy or salesy. He listened to our needs attentively. Once we put in the order, he delivered the shades on time. He also personally installed them and did a great job. We chose zebra blinds for our living room and regular vertical blinds for the other rooms. The Hunter Douglas brand pricing was very competitive and lower than what we saw in the retail stores. read more

Unbelievable! Simply put. David and Melina are amazing. I needed roller shades and called a few big companies and a few small businesses. No one was as prompt and pleasant as David and Melina. On top of that 30-50% cheaper than any other quote I got! The material and color for my roller shades were absolutely the best out of all the other ones I looked at. And they had way more options that I liked. The pictures I posted don't do it justice. Way better in person. I am very fortunate I stumbled upon this magnificent family business via Yelp and hope you do too! Bottom line: Way better shades Way cheaper price Way better communication and professionalism The perfect Shades company! What else one needs? read more

David and his team are top notch. Found them on Yelp and sent a request for a quote. They were very patient with us and walked us through all of our options. Due to COVID, some of the products took longer than usual to be delivered, so plan accordingly. The installers were kind and showed attention to detail. They made sure our shutter doors fit with our molding and worked perfectly before leaving. Great quality products and customer service. We will continue to go back. Would recommend them to anyone! read more

I purchased motorized roller shades for my entire house from David and without question So Cal Shades has the BEST customer service of any business I have worked with. I remodeled my entire house and worked with all kinds of people/trades, but David was the best, most responsive and friendly. I got 4 quotes for window shades and So Cal was the lowest cost of them all. Overall great product supported by a great service team. Easily would recommend So Cal Shades! read more

We had some old wooden blinds that finally broke and needed to be replaced. We called and were given a very fair price and a realistic expectations of delivery and installation. Once they came out, they were honest in which blinds were still good for a few years and which were on their way out, but we never felt upsold. Blinds came in a few weeks later and they even brought a few extra of the valence moldings for some of our other windows for free. A very kind gesture by them. Will absolutely be using them for any future blinds and shades in our home. read more

We moved into a new home in Palos Verdes Estates in the spring of 2019. The house had drapes on all of the windows and sliding glass doors. We wanted a more updated look with white shutters and roller shades. Instead of reading reviews on the Internet, I called my daughter in Torrance and asked her the name of the person she used. She said she was extremely happy with David of So Cal Shutters. My daughter indicated that she had made many changes, and David was more than accommodating in saying "no problem" to each one of her changes. She indicated that her husband had done a great deal of research on the Internet and chose David because he was so highly recommended by numerous customers. Even though he was highly recommended, I decided to obtain one more quote from another company. I was surprised to see the price difference, and David's quote was much lower. His workers arrived on time on the stated date for installation, and they were very professional and careful about not making a mess. I chose white shutters on all of the windows with magnets for a perfect closure. I selected roller shades on all of the sliding glass doors since I wanted to take advantage of the beautiful views here in Palos Verdes. We have a black-out roller shade in our bedroom, and I am very happy with that decision also. The door leading to the backyard presented a problem because I didn't want a roller shade, and I did not think that the shutter would fit the door handle. I will try to upload a photograph of the beautiful design of the back door. Even after I paid David in full, he returned on two occasions because I had a few questions. I highly recommend So Cal Shades and Shutters. read more

The gentleman that came out to give us an estimate was knowledgeable. The gentleman that installed the shutters was proficient. And most of all - THEY LOOK FANTASTIC! read more

David and So Cal Shades and Shutters is incredible, I highly recommend working with them! David came out for measurements and to provide an estimate twice as I delayed my project by a year and he never complained and stayed positive all the way. Kudos! They had a minor issue during installation as the levers wouldn't wholly open due to a molding being in the way but the installers went to Home Depot for a piece and got it all done the same day. With regard to their prices, I asked for quotes from three companies and So Cal Shades and Shutters gave me the best prices by far. read more

They were fast, effective and best price on top of it! Perfect installation! I dealt in the past with other companies and this one was super! read more

We'd been shopping around for shutters and shades and came across So Cal on yelp. After collecting a handful of quotes, we decided to schedule a consultation. Pre-install: Melina, who answered all our calls and emails, was definitely on the ball with communication. We reached out to her on a Friday and because we weren't available that Saturday, thought we would have to wait until Monday to have someone come by. She was able to promise me a Sunday visit- something no other place was able to do. Consultation: David, the owner, came into our home and was very respectful and considerate. For example, took his shoes off upon entering. Out of all the other people who had come by, not one noticed we were bare foot in the house. This usually wouldn't be too big of a deal, however, it was a small indicator of the attention he paid to detail. He took the time to explain his products and BEST of all, the price was absolutely right. We ordered wood shutters for 4 windows, and shades for 3 bedroom windows, and the price was the BEST out of the 4-5 other local places we consulted with. Post-install: Our shutters were locally made and came in about 3 weeks! This was huge as the other places were anticipating 4-6 weeks! Our shades weren't ready just yet but Melina scheduled two separate visits so that we didn't have to wait. Shades only took another week so we had everything installed in the fourth week and I have to say, I am absolutely in love with my windows. Home remodeling is stressful enough, so it's a breath of fresh air when something goes right for once. Also a plus- they are local and just a phone call away if anything were to arise. read more

David has been very pleasant and professional.He did a great job installing window blinds and shutters throughout our home.

David & Melina are the best for blinds! With my tenants already moved in, I had an urgent need for blinds for my rental and they overdelivered on their already super aggressive timeline. I called them on Monday after talking to a lot of others. The first conversation with Melina was super pleasant and she told me that she would give me a timeline and price. I called around 2:30PM, around 3PM I got the best price so far and she said they could be installed Tuesday next week. The next day David showed up as promised - again super pleasant and professional interaction. He measured everything in no time and said that he will be able to install them the following Tuesday. That's 5 business days! David called me on Monday and said he can install the blinds on Monday or Tuesday. I decided to have them installed on Monday. I met him at the rental and he did an amazing job and installed all 18 blinds within 2 hours. So I had the windows measured and installed within 4 business days. I know that this was super fast for them as well - but given that they went above & beyond for a customer they had never met before says it all. David & Melina will always be my first call for blinds in the future. Highly recommend them - it's rare to find this type of professionalism and service in this time of age. I would give them 6 stars if I could. read more

So Cal shades was amazing to work with. We recently moved into a new home and needed shades for our sliding door. Melina replied to my quote request within an hour and we were able to schedule a consultation visit for the following week. David was able to walk us through our (many) options and gave a few suggestions to help guide our decision. We had our shades installed last week and could not be happier! They look great and the service was top notch. If you are in the market for new window treatments, definitely reach out to them! read more

I had old silk curtains that were burnt out and disintegrating from sun exposure. David came out and offered great solutions and color/ material choices. No one else showed me ideas like a horizontal sliding black out curtain wall or shades that allowed adjustable amounts of lighting. There was a separate installation guy that hung the curtains; I think he also did art installation - so was quite adept. The follow up service by David was good when one of the shades needed a longer pull. The pricing was reasonable and communication was also efficient. I would used So Cal Shade again. read more

We just finished our shutter installation and I'm very pleased with the results. Melina was wonderful to work with and the installation team was kind and professional. We had to wait several weeks for our shutters but the quality for the price can't be beat. Thanks for a great experience! read more

Beautiful shutters. I am so happy every day!!!! Absolutely gorgeous. Tony did an excellent job carrying and installing shutters in multiple floors/ 7 locations. I would recommend their service to anyone and everyone. And i will use their service again in the future if i move to a new place. Seamless, efficient and excellent service from Melina (communication and booking), David (estimate and customize/measurements) and Tony (delivery and installation)! Amazing team!!! read more

Melina provided fantastic communication and David was great at providing a ton of options and taking time to explain all the nuances in the shades we got for our home. David came on time and worked very fast, but did very good, quality work. The blinds look fantastic. He was clear to note that some of my windows required blinds that would have to sit on top of the window border and was very transparent about where there could be issues. He even offered for one of the windows where the shades bumped against our Simpli safe window sensor to completely redo this shade to cover the window border. Totally unnecessary for us to consider, but the fact they offered the replacement was a nice touch. Regardless, if you're looking for honest, quality work please check them out. read more

We are so happy with our shutters, they look beautiful and have transformed the look of our bedrooms. The service was stellar, they called straight away when we sent the yelp quote request and they came the next day for a formal quote. The prices were reasonable and fair, we paid half upfront and the second half once the service was complete. They gave multiple options for size, finish, etc and none of them were extra charges. So happy with this business and the final product! read more

Thank you, Melina and David, and the gang for giving our windows treatments. Even with things getting stuck in the supply chain and COVID delays, they made sure we got our treatments in time for guests coming over for the holidays. Thank you, David, for your patience and efficiency as first time home owners trying to make practical, affordable yet aesthetically pleasing choices for our space. read more

We called So Cal Shades & Shutters and David came out for an estimate two days after we called. They delivered our shades right around the two week mark as promised. They went above and beyond to deliver our blinds in time. Would use them again in a heartbeat. read more

Thank you to David and Melina for taking good care of us. We purchased shutters for the living area and blackout roller shades for the bedrooms.

Melina and David have been so helpful with shades/shutters/blinds installation for a few recent projects. They are extremely professional and kept us updated every step of the way. David even stopped by to visit after the shutters had been installed (which look amazing by the way). Their prices are very fair and we will continue to use them for window treatments whenever needed. I would definitely recommend you give them a look if you are in the market for any type of window coverings. read more

Melina and David are amazing to work with. I don't know what I'm looking for to cover up my windows and David are extremely knowledgeable, honest, and patient working with me. He talks to me about the budget and gives me really good advice to help me pick. Melina have been a great communicator throughout the whole process of scheduling time for installation. They work with my schedule for installation. I have a huge shuffle board that was getting in the way of installation and David made it work without damaging anything. We have more windows that are being replaced and when it's time to buy blinds and shades, we will definitely hire them again. read more

Wow!! So helpful & informative! We couldn't be happier with the products and the service was from another time & place! Thank you! Thank you!! read more

Terrible experience with this company. Paid 50% deposit for our shutters and they only delivered a portion of the product after 6 months. Terrible product along with terrible install service. They assured us they would remedy the shotty product and service. Never heard from them again. David and Melina are not as honest as they claim. They obviously don't care about their customers. We called several times. They assured us they would "look into it". Eventually they got tired of us calling and would just hang up on us. We've reported them to the BBB. Blahhh! Look elsewhere for your window coverings. read more
