The thing that really won me over about these guys is that the foreman of the two-person installation team noticed a minor issue with radius of a tricky circular cut on one of the door treatments they were installing. Rather than install it and wait to see if I noticed anything (and I might not have, frankly), he decided on the spot that it didn't meet the company standards, and went to the effort of calling it to my attention, even though I hadn't noticed the issue at all personally. To me, that type of honestly -- coupled with the authority on the part of the installation team to fix something they feel isn't up to standards -- made me realize on the spot that we'd made the right call choosing these guys over the other offeror.
I give them a "B" because (1) the woman who came out to measure and confirm details was not the most pleasant person to deal with and (2) scheduling the installation was a bit of a challenge. After no contact whatsoever for about a month, I called to check on the status. Two or three days later I receive an email giving me an installation date a few days away. I wrote back and said we couldn't do it that day, but gave them several alternative days that we could meet them for installation. I also noted that we couldn't meet them there before 2:30pm on certain days. I received a response that said, How about 10am (on the original day)? They either didn't read my email or just didn't feel the need to take a customer's request seriously (unfortunately, based on the whole customer service aspect of working with them, I think it's the latter). After some back and forth emails I was told that they only install in Northern Virginia on Thursdays, and that they prefer to do it in the mornings. Interesting - as the customer I "prefer" to have work completed in a reasonable amount of time. It's not like we live in Richmond - we're inside Beltway off of I-66. Ultimately, they scheduled us for 2-3 weeks out on a Thursday, because again that's the only day they only work in Northern Virginia.
This whole scheduling thing is not a huge deal, but I expected a little bit more and made me feel like I was dealing with the cable company. If you live in Northern Virginia, keep this in mind.
"I apologize for scheduling difficulty - My name is Karen and I take full responsibility. We are a small company and the person who normally does all the scheduling had to take sudden extended leave I was overwhelmed doing two jobs instead of one! We do care about customer service and it doesn't matter where you are located I was just overwhelmed! We are back running smoothly again and I will send the customer an "oops" package for my mistake. Sometimes life gets in the way of work and it was not intentional or normal for us but the customer is correct that it could have run smoother. Thank you for the opportunity to explain. Karen @ Perfect Fit"
Although you can certainly find a cheaper alternative to covering your windows with plantation shutters, I believe that we got the best value for our money. I love the shutters every day and have had no issues with them. Even if down the road we have an issue the warranty is great and I believe Perfect Fit will stand behind their workmanship (both the product and the installation). I have the utmost confidence in our purchase and really think the shutters make a HUGE difference in the value and class of our home.
Once we placed with order for our window treatments, I was amazed at the speed with which they were able to deliver - installing everything the day after we moved in.
I would use them again in a heartbeat and would recommend them to anyone!
The cost was more than we are willing to spend on shutters. Asked Marie
if they make faux wood shutters or something less expensive. She was
not pleased with that question and offered, multiple times to finance
our wood shutters. Again said we were not interested in spending that
much money-she informed us her boss "cringes" when she puts in a request
for a cheaper shutter. Guess she lost our sale.
