Our Reviews

Dynel O.

Star Star Star Star Star 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.
