However, I wish that they provided other options that Hunter Douglass offers. In my case, motorized shades where the motor will be baked in the sun for one room, increasing shade width to beyond the typical window dimensions for another room, and maybe eliminating top down bottoms up possibility for a third room did not make sense to me. Thus my search continues. I do think that if you have a large home with large windows with more typical bottoms up only needs that this may be the place for you!

We got Hunter Douglas sheer shades installed throughout our home last month and absolutely LOVE them. I always saw the Custom Creations storefront driving down El Camino but then my best friend used them for her new construction home a few months ago (she was referred to Custom Creations by her builder). Her wood blinds and shutters look fantastic so of course I emailed Nick too. He was patient, had great advice, and was SO meticulous about every detail that we knew we could trust him. He helped us pick colors, took measurements, and a few weeks later the custom shades arrived! John came to install our blinds and we were also jazzed by his meticulousness. You can tell he's been doing this for decades and his perfectionism was obvious (despite working SUPER fast). Every shade is perfectly even and they roll up/down soooo smoothly! Last thing: if service matters to you, this is the company to go with. Over the course of 2ish months, I felt like I got to know Nick pretty well. He's casual yet professional and was so easy to work with. The experience wasn't a chore like other home projects we've done in the past. Thanks, Nick and Custom Creations, for making our home gorgeous!

I would highly recommend them if ever you need window coverings. You won't be disappointed.

Happy New Year! Ever since ShutterMark of San Mateo helped install my plantation shutters a few…read moremonths ago, I've genuinely felt happy every single day just opening and closing my windows at home. When we stepped into midnight at the start of 2026, I heard neighbors setting off fireworks, and I never imagined that opening the window to watch fireworks could be such a simple, one-second joy. Having plantation shutters at home is truly wonderful. If I could give ShutterMark of San Mateo 100 stars , I absolutely would. Before deciding on window treatments, I did extensive research. I learned that plantation shutters are easy to clean, help reduce noise, keep the house warmer in winter and cooler in summer, and even increase property value . That said, shutters are definitely a premium investment, so choosing the right company really matters. I was incredibly lucky to find Eli on Yelp. He was the very first person who came to my home to measure and provide a quote. Normally, I always compare multiple vendors--but this time, I decided to go with him immediately. WhyBecause Eli is not only the owner, but also the salesperson and the person who personally came to install the shutters once the materials arrived. That level of accountability is rare. By contrast, my experience last year with Lowe's was absolutely terrible. It really proved that "big companies are always better" is a myth. They often make the process far more complicated, their so-called lifetime warranties are mostly marketing gimmicks, and the prices are usually higher as well. Originally, I planned to install shutters on only three street-facing windows. But after seeing the quality and the pricing, I changed my mind and decided to do my entire home. The value was simply too good to pass up. Now, I think of Eli and his team twice every day-- once in the morning when I open the shutters, and once at night when I close them. I truly appreciate them for giving me a warmer, more comfortable home with natural light during the day. Living so close to the airport, I can no longer hear planes cutting through the night sky. Since last winter, I haven't needed to turn on the heater as often. I no longer wake up wearing an eye mask on weekends, and my sleep quality has improved dramatically. Thank you, ShutterMark. Wishing you an amazing and successful. 2026
