Our Reviews
Great customer service and very professional. The plantation shutters are beautiful. Ordered for 2 rooms in our home and did such a great job ordered for another room. Installation went great and the installers cleaned up behind themselves. After installing I was given an overview of how to properly open and close the shutters and how to keep them clean. I would recommend to anyone who wants professional service.
Benchmark Shutters & Shades did an extraordinary job at our home! Clint Chambers the owner is honest, professional, punctual, and priced just right. Mr. Chambers was wonderful to work with on our project - we went the 4" vein Silhouettes in the front and master bedrooms and Ever Woods in our guest room. The window treatments are so beautiful and the installation done by his installer Billy are perfect and I mean perfect! We are simply thrilled!! We will be recommending Benchmark Shutters & Shades to our new neighbors and friends!! Theses are just so beautiful!!!
We are beyond thrilled with our new Plantation Shutters that were recently installed, they completely changed the appearance of our house inside and out! The customer service that we received from this company was outstanding, they even offered to clean up the dust from installation! The attention to detail is what I loved most about Clint, he was such a huge help with deciding what to do with our oversized window ! I can't wait to have more installed in the near future. I would and will use this company again and would highly recommend them to anyone who is looking for a professional, friendly and personable staff! Thank you for making my living room and kitchen beautiful!
