Custom fit, made in their workshop in Manor. Excellent knowledge about working with an older home. Excellent quality. Pleasant to work with. Expensive but worth every penny.

We were very happy with them. We never had any problems. We looked at other companies, but these guys were local. It was all wood shutters, so we went with them. Very professional, they were very timely. We moved into a brand new home and they are the ones that did our blinds and shutters. The cost was high but it was not outrageous. All of the windows were taken care of. They were really good at suggesting what should go where. They did not try to sell us shutters when blinds would have been just as good. We have one blind that has a little chip in it after 10 years, I do not think that is bad.

This is the third time we/my mother have installed Southern Shutters in an entire house. They are on-time, professional, efficient, and the product is wonderful.

blind was fine although jury rigged at installation. Shutters were a disaster from start to finish. Tried to jack up the price on second attempt at installation.
Response from Southern Shutters Shades & Blinds
"We appreciate the time you have put into a review of our services, as it allows us to evaluate our actions and responses and to improve our business. Our records indicate a purchase of shutters and a shade on October 1st, 2014, and then an installation of the shade on October 20th, 2014, which our records show was installed with no issues. We were not contacted after this installation to let us know the product and/or installation was not satisfactory. During the installation of our shutters, we noticed a slight mismeasurement and we decided the best solution would be to remake and reinstall the shutter. We came back two weeks later to install and received signatures to ensure the customer's approval. We did have a discrepancy in tax. We immediately explained the issue, sincerely apologized and agreed to pay this tax ourselves. We are truly sorry that this experience was not as smooth as we all would wish, and thank you for the opportunity to address these comments."

The initial visit: brought samples, discussed type & design options, & measured. Installed on time & beautifully about 6 weeks later, as promised. Probably not the least expensive but definitely very high quality. And I used 10% coupon from Home Mag.

We are very pleased with our shutters, and the personnel at Southern Shutters and Blinds. They came when they said they would, the shutters were made on schedule, and the installer was very good and friendly. The shutters look great.

Brent came out the following Monday June 3, 2013 to measure the window and gave us a quote that was the same as the estimate I received over the phone based on my measurements. In approximately two weeks we received a paint sample to approve and in approximately 8 weeks (July 26) the shutter was installed. The shutter is a beautiful all wood shutter and well built. Installation took about an hour and the fit is perfect. A beautiful addition to our home.

They actually installed the blinds ahead of schedule, and our custom shutters were professionally installed on the day scheduled. The price was very reasonable for the quality of product we received. They look beautiful and we are thrilled with them! All staff we dealt with were informative, patient, knowledgeable, and professional. They really care and did everything possible to deliver beautiful, quality custom built blinds. I am a Real Estate professional, and will gladly recommend Southern Shutters & Blinds to all my clients without hesitation. Thank you Southern Shutters!!

They are incredible. They went and found the kind of trim I wanted. Had it all painted and gave me options on what I wanted. When I picked what I wanted it was completely made, fit and look stunning. The prices are reasonable. The workers are very meticulous. He is so caring. The owner went through a lot of trouble to find help for my shutters. He is very patient as well.

They were very efficient and experienced. We felt the price was high. They are going to install in a couple of weeks.

From the initial showroom contact to the final installed product, the folks at Southern Shutters and Blinds were true professionals.
At the showroom, our salesman was very patient in helping us decide which of the myriad options for window treatment would best suit our remodeling needs. We choose custom wood shutters stained to match our existing wood work.
During the free estimate and measurement process at our house, the windows were meticulously measured and the estimate explained in detail. Since the shutters were custom-made at their local factory, we were told up-front to expect a seven-week wait.
Five weeks later, we received a progress update. They revisited us with three custom-mixed stain samples to match against our existing trim. One of the finishes was right on the money, although in the past other contractors have had difficulty with the stain match.
Right on schedule, the finished product was installed, and the quality exceeded our expectations. I'm sure that these are not the cheapest shutters, but the quality is tough to beat. The beauty of the final product, coupled with the friendly and honest service, makes dealing with Southern Shutters and Blinds a great experience. They are strongly recommended.

We are having them back out to put in more blinds. I reviewed them earlier and did mention that I did not like the magnets, which you could see from the street. They are putting in lower profile magnets and gave me pricing for installing wood blinds in the rest of our home. We are happy with the price and Chris was very professional and even mentioned that we had reviewed him here and mentioned the magnets. To be fair, we are happy with the work they did, there were a couple of things we did not like, but we also did not tell them to allow them to remedy. They were very professional and did exactly what they said and if we were not happy with them then we would not have them back out to our home to install more blinds.

The job was not done right in the first place. We called them back and they said they were going to fix the problem and we have never heard from them again. They would ask us to call with our choices and they would tell us that they would be back in touch with us the next day and they never called.
Response from Southern Shutters Shades & Blinds
"We have an installation report where we should see any signs of a problem. All that is noted is that the job is completed on 7/22/06 and that we should call the customer for the balance due to be paid with a credit card. The customer did pay on Tuesday, July 25th. 2006., with a credit card. We do not require payment until the job is completed, so if "The job was not done right in the first place" why did they pay the balance and not tell us about any problems. The total for the job was $885.00 plus tax, not $1500.00. The member actually ordered a year earlier than noted stated in their Angie's List report. When it comes to blinds, there is not a lot to go wrong. In talking with the customer and to the salesman, I have deduced that when the blinds were ordered, the husband stated "Make them white." They came in white and it looks as though the wife did not want that color and has made the claim that things are all wrong in the hopes that we will replace the blinds free of charge. If "The job was not done right in the first place" as she claimed in her report, then why did they pay for the balance on the job three days after completion? I believe this is a false review, submitted to you in an effort to extort our company. At the very least, I would like the true facts of this transaction entered into our online file."
