I scheduled an appt and he didnt show up the day of because I didnt answer his call when he tried confirming about an hour before the appt. I would assume you confirm your schedule at least a day before. My phone was on silent and i missed the call and when I realized it was past appt time, I checked and had a missed call . Strike 1. We rescheduled as he explained they get burned and need to confirm appt (ok, maybe do the day before). He did show at the next appt during our scheduled appt time, measures a few windows and I had to track down quote because he forgot to send. I finally tried to order and he lost the invoice, which i resent him, then I was ghosted. I wanted to try and love, but didnt even get the chance. On to a more responsive, organized company I guess.

We had our shutters and blinds installed about three years ago when we moved into our newly built…read morehome, and we are still extremely happy with our decision today. We originally contacted this company based on a friend's recommendation, and working with Mike Cooper turned out to be one of the best parts of the entire process. Choosing colors, materials, and designs was honestly overwhelming at first, especially since we had not even moved into the house yet, which made it much harder to visualize everything. Mike was incredibly patient and calm throughout the process. He walked us through every option, helped us imagine how everything would look in a brand new space, and provided thoughtful guidance that made a huge difference in our final decisions. Thanks to his help, we chose designs that still look great and feel perfect for our home even three years later. The pricing was very competitive for the brand he recommended, especially compared to other installers for the same brand that I consulted at the time. Mike also explained that the brand came with a lifetime warranty, and I really appreciated that this was not just a sales pitch. Last summer, when one of the blinds suddenly stopped working, they promptly came out and replaced it at no cost, exactly as promised. We use these shutters and blinds every single day and remain just as satisfied as when they were first installed. Excellent quality, outstanding service, and a company that truly stands behind its word. Highly recommended.

It's great that Matt handles both the estimate and installation and really knows his stuff (he'll truly walk you through the pros and cons of each option). Matt and Mike knocked out the install quickly and painlessly. Highly recommend!

Bob (co-owner with wife Lizzie) came out personally for the first assessment. We really didn't know the difference between blinds, shades, shutters, etc, but he brought us catalogs and we recognized shutters as the "window treatments" we liked best having stayed in air-bnbs. Turns out we have great taste, because this is NOT the cheapest way to go, but they worked with us on the cost so we could get what we wanted without breaking our budget. Now that the shutters are installed, I'm so glad we were able to make it happen. Our home looks completely transformed. The turn-around time was most impressive. A co-worker told me we might have to wait 2-3 months for shutters to be manufactured. We also recently replaced our windows and didn't want to re-hang the old blinds. Express Blinds had custom shutters made for 18 windows, a sliding door, and a half-circle window in 3 weeks! We worked with Linda to arrange for the installation to follow within a week of the window installation. She too is top-notch professional. She waited on me to get her a target date based on windows, then arranged for the installation to come less than a week later. She even called the afternoon before to tell me exactly when they would arrive. They arrived on time and completed the entire job in a single day. This was as stress free as a home-improvement project can be; we highly recommend Express Blinds!

Everything that arrived was measured perfectly. The price and quality are both very good for shutters and blinds. The composite plastic style shutters we got are *solid*.

The guys who came to install them showed up promptly, did an excellent job and were very friendly; and did the whole house with downstairs shutters in just under 2 1/2hrs. Could not have had a better experience.

Sunburst Shutters was in business then approximately ten years. Six years ago we ordered shutters for three bedroom windows. We were now switching our color scheme to white, since we remodeled the house and added white crown molding and white baseboards. I lived with the ivory for a while, but they now looked "yellowish". (By comparison!) I had to call customer services as the rod holding up the patio door slider shutters, was just giving out. They were drooping and therefore could not open correctly. The fellow wanted to take the shutters off the wall. It would destroy the paint, etc. and damage the sheet rock, so I said he would have to figure it out. He took his time, worked it out, and the shutters were fixed. I had agreed to pay a hundred dollars, but when all was said and done, they did not charge me. Now I liked the paint job my daughter had done on her bath cabinets. I had her guy come and, for a reasonable price, he painted them carefully outdoors. He reinstalled them. I am so happy. They look and behave like brand new! I met Tyson twice. He is very personable and proud of his business. I have, and definitely will continue to, recommend this business.

Hunter Douglas Roller Shades - Measurement Issues…read more We have owned Hunter Douglas shades in multiple homes and have always liked the quality of the products. This review is not about the shades themselves, but about the measurement and installation. We had previously worked with San Diego Shades and had a great experience, which makes this outcome especially disappointing. This time, instead of their technician, they sent the sales rep to do the measurements. All of the shades installed in our home were measured and cut slightly too small, leaving the wooden window frames visible on the sides when the shades are fully closed. While this may sound minor, it affects both the look and function of the shades. The issue is most noticeable in our bedroom, where we installed motorized room-darkening roller shades. Light still comes through the sides, which defeats the purpose of a room-darkening shade. I raised my concerns right after the upstairs bedroom installations, but the issue was dismissed with an explanation that didn't address the problem and did not and does not make sense. At the time, we were in the middle of multiple home projects, and I assumed I would eventually get used to them. I didn't -- and it continues to bother me every time I see them. When the downstairs shades were installed and had the same issue, I escalated the concern to a supervisor, and two of the cheaper shades were eventually replaced. Unfortunately, the bedroom shades were never corrected. Even now, the measurement issue is noticeable and frustrating. For a professional installation, I expected better attention to detail and follow-through. My advice: carefully review measurements and finished results before signing off.

Didn't understand the difference in shutters but after meeting with the Cal Coast team here at my place, they took measurements, answered questions, all that. But learned quickly that they use real wood as opposed to "poly" and explained the differences between the 2 so it was pretty much a win to go with them. They also did the closet doors in 2 of our rooms and I don't have any great pictures of the kitchen shutters they did but we absolutely love them. I've referred them to a few of my neighbors now and while I seriously thought at first it was just going to be a nice addition to the house, it's been one of the best decisions I've made for a home improvement expense. Highyl recommend. I personally believe they are the best in the business now.
