Excellent from start to finish. Really thorough service from start to finish in helping us fit a blackout blind behind our plantation shutters. From the FaceTime consultation and measurement to the efficient, tidy and professional installation, we really can't fault The Shutter Shop.

Great experience with The Shutter Shop. Everyone was friendly and informative. The price was competitive. Installation was at least 3 weeks ahead of what we were expecting and the finished product looks great! Thanks.
