Everyone I dealt with was friendly. Good communication from staff about scheduling the estimate and installation. Good value! Sunburst shutter came in as the lowest of my 4 bids. My 8 windows with plantation shutters look amazing! Thank you so much!

Love these shutters. I've had them in other rooms for several years and they still look great so I had them installed in my breezeway on two tall windows. They really spruce up the room and will help keep the room a little warmer this winter. Phil was here on time and finished within about 30 minutes from unloading his truck to leaving the house and was very professional and personable. He also removed a few old curtain screws that Id forgotten about. Thank you Phil!

Great experience from measure to install. All other estimates came in much higher and other designers tried to talk me out of shutters. Very pleased with the outcome.

Great company. Very professional. They do everything from bringing samples to measuring and installing. Would recommend them highly. Great product. I have shutters that were installed 20 years ago and they look new.
