Terrible customer service at the store for otherwise great install and sales cycle. Owner Called and fixed the situation. What was a hot annoying issue once escalated fixed itself. In the end employees can take wrong turns and the visibility with the owner got it handled. read more

Love working with Austintatious! They have such comparative pricing and their service and responsiveness is unmatched. Highly personable, knowledgeable and they also have a huge selection. They carry all the major brands (hunter douglass etc) at a portion of the cost of some competitors (I.e. I'd choose them over shade store any day of the week). I can trust them with my clients so for this, I highly appreciative. I've worked with Tara several times and she's been phenomenal every time. Give them a call, you won't be disappointed! read more

Originally we had a small project to replace some Hunter Douglass Blinds to a different color. The blinds worked perfectly and the service was excellent. They arrived exactly as promised and the follow up and communication was impeccable. As a result, I will be calling back today to convert two more rooms! read more

Austintatious Blinds And Shutters - Three Hunter Douglass Parkland Collection Wood Blinds - Shades & Blinds Near Me - Austin, Texas

This review is way overdue. My company (Smarter Homes) has worked with Norma and her team at Austintatious for 10 years now. They have the best selection in town and know how to dial in a budget to fit the needs of almost any client. We are currently working with them on an integrated shade solution for a set of windows behind a Living room couch. Without their help, glare would make it impossible to enjoy a movie in this room. read more

Professional and kind. Very talented and knowledgeable on all things blinds. This company will always be my blind go to company. Just doesn't get any better. Thanks for the great service! read more

I had a design in mind and I knew what I wanted, but Austintatious made sure that my decision was a good one. They made the choosing process so easy as well as the installation itself. They have an understanding of their customer's needs. The whole place looks more amazing now because of the blinds I got from them. read more

Tracey and her team did a fabulous job getting my replacement blinds from Hunter Douglas. They were custom and fit perfectly!! Their service is outstanding and highly recommend buying your shades/blinds from them. You won't be disappointed! read more

I'm very impressed with my new blinds and overall experience with Austintatious Blinds & Shutters. Andrea was patient, informative and worked hard to make the entire process as easy as possible for me. My home was new construction at the time so Austinatious already had sent someone to take all the measurements from inside the structure before I even walked in the door. The installer, Kevin, waited outside my house for me for 40 minutes while I was stuck somewhere else and was still as professional and courteous as could be expected. I *highly* recommend Austintatious Blinds & Shutters. read more

If you're looking for blinds or shutters in Austin, this is definitely the best place in town! Tracey was very helpful as was everyone else I dealt with--just great customer service. We got the silhouettes in our living room and they are beautiful! After price shopping a few other places in town, Tracey came back with the lowest price of them all. Even after we had spent several thousand dollars with another company in town, Austintatious still quoted us $500 less than the company we had previously done business with. They installed at the exact time I requested and installation was quick and done correctly the first time. After installation, they provided us with a brochure on cleaning and operating the silhouettes. Great service, great product and lowest prices. read more

We had the Hunter Douglas Duette Architella Honeycomb, Top Down/Bottom Up blinds installed in October 2014. From meeting Darby at the store front, working with Elizabeth to come up with the best plan for our home, and talking to the installers, we are very happy and satisfied with Ausintatious! Everyone was friendly and helpful all along the way. The company even worked with us when we had an issue with a delay from our window installation company. We also had some of the 3M film put on some smaller windows that did not need to be replaced. I feel like we have a home that is actual private now! I would recommend Austintatious to everyone! read more

Fantastic communication and very timely. Tara helped with window coverings and shutters. Great recommendations and we love them! Also the install crew was top notch! read more

This review is well overdue! Last year we purchased some HD Grass shades from Austintatious and have to say, they bent over backwards to ensure we were happy with the final product and installation. We will definitely use them again in our next home! read more

Austintatious is simply amazing and I will refer them to everyone! These gals answered every question, took every call, and replied to every email in record time. Our shutters look absolutely fantastic. I met with Stephanie at my house at first. She showed and my wife all the different ways we could cover our windows. Who knew there were like a million? Anyway, we told her we definitely wanted shutters on a couple of windows and we were up in the air on the rest. We had a quote emailed to us within 48 hours. It was very comprehensive and the price was awesome (shutters are expensive no matter what). Once we ordered the shutters we got a call from Craig. Craig handles installs for Austintatious. He came out to measure exact dimensions for the shutters to ensure they fit perfectly. He was very polite and efficient. When the shutters were ready Craig came back out to install. I wasn't there but my wife said his team was very, very nice to her and our kids (if you're nice to my kids you always win). A week after the install someone from Austintatious called to make sure we were pleased with the result. I love follow up. I told them we were very pleased. Just call them and see for yourself. read more

Elizabeth at Austintatious Blinds & Shutters has been SO helpful. I can be very indecisive and Elizabeth was extremely patient with me when I kept changing my mind. Our budget got cut in half when our dog had to have emergency surgery, and Elizabeth was understanding and was able to help us pick the right blinds for our home that fit our budget. We have just ordered some beautiful white roller shades with light filtering and room darkening, and we couldn't be more excited. Please support this local Austin small business and visit the gorgeous Austintatious store!! read more

I had a great experience with Austintatious Blinds and shutters. They originally came to our house to measure our windows and advise us on different options. I was immediately impressed with not only all of the selection they carry but also their knowledge and expertise about what would work best in each room. We decided to look through the showroom prior to making a final decision and we were very glad we did. The showroom allowed us to see all of the different styles of blinds with full sized displays throughout the store. We have a small child so choosing options that were not only functional but safe was a big priority. Getting to test out each one helped our final decision. The sales reps did a great job of coaching us through the process. A few of our windows were odd sizes so they took about 10 or 11 weeks to come in. They let us know that in advance and we felt it was well worth the wait to have custom built blinds made specifically for each window. The install went incredibly well. They were polite and very informative. Three of our blinds in the living room were motorized so they walked us through the process of changing out batteries or taking them down if we needed to paint the walls. They are awesome by the way. Not having to reach behind the couch to pull blinds up and down is incredible. Overall it was a great experience and we highly recommend them for anyone looking for true quality along with customer support and design insight. read more

We have been using Austintatious Blinds and Shutters for years. They've installed blinds for our daughters playroom, electronic shades in the kitchen, and the master bathroom. They are very professional and always on time. We would recommend them. read more

We used Austintatious Blinds & Shutters for European style solid panel interior shutters, which are rarely done in the states. I worked with Austin Window Fashions initially, but switched to Austintatious after I felt Austintatious had a better understanding and design prowress to make it happen. They turned out absolutely stunning, and elevated the space to give it a parisian like feel - while costing less than Austin Window Fashions, taking less time, and with less headaches. I will definitely use them in the future for future properties. read more

I'd rate my transaction with Austintatious Blinds & Shutters as slightly-above-meh. We had asked for the rep to bring temporary paper blinds when she came to measure (we had moved into a new house that weekend and had no window coverings of any sort). She had no record of this, although she was nice and professional, but we had to sit and wait another 3 hours for her to drive to Lakeway, go to other appointments, and come back with them, which was slightly annoying, but okay, fine. We were given a time period of 2 - 3 weeks for the blinds to be installed. At week 4, I called them, and they told me they could get me in that weekend, but only because someone else cancelled. Why they would admit that they would have kept me waiting longer but for a cancellation, but there you go. The installation dude was a couple hours late, but the blinds did get put up quickly and looked really nice, minus a busted pull handle we noticed later and a pull handle that was a different color than all the others, the latter the installation dude did note. When my husband addressed our concerns with the company and stressed that, for something we are paying so much for, we expected more, he was met with pretty much total indifference. I would probably not use Austintatious Blinds & Shutters again, but I wouldn't tell someone not to use them either. We wanted to use a local business rather than Home Depot and the like, but when you pay more to support those local businesses, you would hope they would outperform the big box stores with a higher level of customer service. read more

We purchaced roller blinds for our new home, 15 in total, a mix of blackout blinds and lighter ones. When installed the blackout's protruded from the window frames and ao they had to be replaced. All up this took over 16 weeks and lots of follow-up on our part to resolve. My assesment is that the team is nice, but seem very disorganized. I would not go back here if I needed more blinds. read more

Tara helped me with all my window treatments when we moved to Lakeway. She was great to work with. Helped me with some new comer info as well. Very pleased with the results. read more

Still waiting for shutters and it's been 10 weeks now. They are very slow. I would not recommend you wait to hear from them but be proactive to try and get them moving. I'll let you know if it's been worth the wait once I have them installed. read more

I worked with Elizabeth and her installation crew to replace all of our shutters. She was so very easy to work with, gave us a fair price and her installation crew was awesome. We did not have one hiccup. We were happy to have her and her crew in our home. They were clean and very cooperative. Thank you Elizabeth and Austintations for making our home even more beautiful. Sue Holland read more

Now my blinds have been installed, ahead of time and under budget. I have the motorized honeycomb in the living room and master bedroom. Everything looks and works great! Thanks Tracey!!! read more

I worked with Tracey at Austintatious Blinds, and the service deteriorated as I continued to have problems with the Hunter Douglas shutters they sold. Multiple shutters were replaced, and the finish has continued to be problematic. Hunter Douglas support is horrific as well; they are blaming Austintatious and not willing to stand behind their product. I will never purchase Hunter Douglas products again, nor will I deal with Austintatious. read more

Called to ask about repairing a hunter Douglas mini blind. I was told that parts "crumble" inside the mini blinds after 7 years. This company has no business selling Hunter Douglas products if they don't believe in their products. They also suggested to replace the mini blind with a new one! read more

I had a great experience at AB&S. They were polite, prompt, and on time. I am not exactly proficient in home design, so I was pleased when their sales person who came out to my house offered some great device about the fabric pattern for the roller shade. It matched everything in the room and ended up looking better than I expected. Also got plantation shutters and was very happy with that too. I would definitely recommend them. read more

Austintatious is Awesome! From initial contact to installation, they were the Ultimate professionals; on time for appointments, responsive to questions and a quick installation. Because they are so knowledgeable, deciding on the right window treatment, which can be an overwhelming experience, became uncomplicated and pleasant process. I have had a wonderful buying experience and will use them again read more

My experience with Austintatious Binds & Shutters couldn't have been any better! They were professional, knowledgable and fun to work with. They have a superior product and better prices than most. I ordered plantation shutters for my home and they were delivered and installed when they promised and the quality is terrific. A first rate experience from beginning to end - I will definitely recommend them and will use them again myself. read more

The store is well laid out, clean and bright! Great selection. One of the best aspects of the store is the knowledgeable and very helpful staff. No waiting and lots of good ideas. The only shutter store in Austin for me! read more

We used Austintatious Blinds twice to provide Plantation Shutters and Blinds for our last two houses. Installation was great; however their service for our Hunter Douglas Shade was very poor. They lost a critical part while servicing these blinds in July 2020, and after numerous follow -up calls and text messages, here we are on October 1, 2020 and no part!! Having worked with sales and marketing teams in a large company, I know the importance of not just selling a product to a customer; but also retaining that customer with good follow up and customer service. Future referrals of friends, co-workers and neighbors are usually important to professional companies, but I cannot rate Austintatious Blinds more than a "1 star" based on lousy customer service. Should never take 2 months to mail a $3.00 part to us. Sad to say, but for our next house, we will not be using Austintatious Blinds, nor ever recommending them again. read more

They are true pros! From beginning to end, the experience with Austinatious was fantastic. They are very knowledgable, up front and truthful and a great value for your money. We were so pleased with our choices with them and will do more business with them in the future! They do not sell you and then walk away, the follow ups and customer care has been very impressive. Do not short cut and go elsewhere, use them and you will not regret it! read more

We use Austintatious Blinds in our restaurant downtown so they are frequently used on a daily basis to block out the Sun. Anytime there is a little glitch with the operation of the blinds they are there in a jiffy to fix us right back up. I highly recommend them for their quality products and outstanding customer service. read more

I would not recommend this company to anyone. They initially gave me only one quote for their most expensive shutter doors, no other options. It was $800 higher than a bid from another company. Then they were going to get back to me in a few days on some options for drapes. I never heard back from them. I went to another company and had great service. Too bad they are not responsive business people. Although they said they called, I never received a message, but will give them the benefit of doubt on that. Better communication and an appointment for an in- house consultation would have solved the problem. read more

Some custom blinds were needed for my client's home that was going to be on the market. So I was in a slight hurry. I went into the store and received IMMEDIATE help. I didn't have the correct measurements, so I had to go get the blind and take a trip back to the store. But I was informed that I could just call to relay the measurements which were on the top of the existing blind. So that saved me a trip! Each time I called, someone helped me and they were ALWAYS professional and EXTREMELY helpful. There is not that much customer service these days, and they impressed me on good old-fashioned service. I will not hesitate to return to that store if blinds are needed. What a refreshing place to shop!!! read more

My husband and I moved into a newly built home in New Braunfels in October. About a month before we closed, we realized that window treatments didn't come with the house. We found Austintatious through Carefree Concierge, and loved them. Sherri met us at the house very quickly and made recommentations for the Hunter Douglas Duette Architella Honeycomb with room darkening, Norman Plantation Shutters, Hunter Douglas Design Screen with Cassette and faux wood blinds for the garage and laundry room. The entire company was very easy to work with and they kept the communication flowing even when there was a strike at the docks which could have caused a delay in our shutter installation. They also provided temporary window covers - nothing fancy but they worked. Their installers were great and fast! Don't do like us and wait until the last minute. The honeycomb shades took 4 weeks and the shutters took 10 weeks. Well worth the wait though! read more

Bought three wooden blinds with cordless lifting feature. Took a couple months to arrive and when they did (first visit - install) one did not work and they all had cords not wands for tilt feature. The swap to a wand from cords was quick (2nd visit) but the non-working replacement took a couple more weeks (3rd visit). Then the wand would not 'tilt the blinds closed' after a couple months use. Service call (4th visit) was again quick and fixed the issue - but commented the part can 'wear out' rather easily. We do not adjust them every day and only had the blinds for a couple months - How do they become worn? I think they may use second hand parts or something. I point out how many visits it took because they do not service or install products after 5 during the week or on weekends. If you both work - plan on one of you taking off / leaving to meet these folks! No exceptions! People were really nice, but just about anything that could go wrong - did. Oh yeah - and you better make work arrangements beyond the initial sales visit! Nothing like taking off work 4 times just to have 3 blinds installed and working correctly. Would have been less hassle (and much quicker) just to do it myself. read more

I wanted to like this place. I really really wanted to....but, my experience didn't quite turn out that way. We just moved to Austin, bought a place close to downtown and wanted to make sure we got shutters and blinds that we really like, even if it was on the pricier side. After a little bit of research (clearly not enough), we decided on Austintatious. We got plantation shutters and some blinds, shades and drapes for the rest of the house. Here is a quick summary on all the visits: #1 - Home appointment to show us the options, take measurements etc. No issues #2 - July 3rd. Installation for everything except the shutters since they weren't ready yet. The installer said he couldn't make the large woven shade that we had for the media room operate. Basically it wouldn't close. Just for reference, just this shade cost us about two grand. Installer said someone will get it touch with us to fix it We waited a couple of weeks and heard nothing back from Austintatious. So I reached out to them on July 18th via email...was told someone will get in touch ASAP...then crickets again....I waited a couple more weeks and then used their feedback survey to convey how disappointed I was with the experience so far. Someone reached out to me right after that and scheduled an appointment for repairing it #3 - Aug 6th. One of the owners and another guy came and took a look...said they needed to order new parts and that they will be back to fix once the parts arrive #4 - Aug 28th. Repair person came with "new" head rails...spent some time, tried and said still couldn't make it work...they had to go back and discuss what they could do. #5 - Sep 19th. This time two repair folks with another new head rail...they said they had "figured out" what was wrong....result was the same - they couldn't make it work... At this point, the owner came back and said we should try and get a different fabric....my wife and I had basically given up on ever having our media room fully done...we picked another fabric even though we didn't like it as much as we did the first one... #6 - Oct 27th. Another installation for the new fabric that we had picked...the installation was done and we were told that one of the carriers were broken and that they had to come back and fix it later #7 - Nov 25th. Another installation to replace the broken carrier....this time, everything did work the way it should So it basically took ~5 months from the first installation to get the thing finally working. I understand things can go wrong with these installations and someone may need to come back to fix it...but how a business can allow something to go wrong so many times is just beyond me....It makes me question the quality of their products and the skill of their employees....and having paid about five grand for all the things we purchased from them, it does make me question if we overpaid... On the positive side, the plantation shutters look good so far and they did give us a 200 dollar credit at the end of it all....the new fabric we ended up picking for the media room doesn't look all that great....probably what happens when you are forced into picking something when your first choice doesn't work... So net of it is we had a mediocre experience with Austintatious Blinds. I don't think I would want to recommend this to family or friends. Verdict: Avoid read more

Worst experience in Austin. SLOW is an understatement. I never expect anything that fast in this town, but months later, two simple orders are yet to be completed. It seems as though the facade of friendliness disappears once payments are made, and getting them to fix their mistakes seems impossible at this point. All they provide are excuses for mistakes, rather than the solutions. If you have months to spare and the patience for terrible customer service this is the place for you! However, if you prefer getting the correct order without broken parts that take several weeks to come in (after they say it will take 3 days) then save yourself the unnecessary stress and take your business to someone that knows what they're doing. read more

No call, no show for appointment. I phoned their office to be sure I was on their schedule and was told the employee was running late but could arrive in another 30-40 minutes. I understand "late", but I do not understand "no call." Bush League. read more

The roller blinds I bought for my entire house were fine, but the pull chains they gave me were flimsy plastic and kept breaking. They replaced 3 of the blinds' chains with sturdy metal ones, but would not do the rest of the blinds I bought from them, even though they continued to break over and over again. I would give them a 4 for the look and quality of the product, but a 1 for standing behind what they sell. read more
