Very easy and professional experience. Buxton had a generous selection of shutters which made me feel like I was getting a comprehensive idea of what was out there. I felt like the quality was above average for what I've seen in the same price range. Installation was a breeze - fast and efficient - clean! And again professional. Cost was completely competitive - but the quality of the product far exceeded expectations for what I paid for. Super happy - very rare for me - lol. Overall, would absolutely recommend Buxton Blinds!

From start to finish it was a wonderful experience. From my initial contact with Andrew, consultation and installation. It was so simple! Our blinds were installed today. They turned out so beautiful and a breath of fresh air literally! Gentry was great! He was friendly and did an awesome job. He was respectful of our home. He was quick and cleaned up! Quality is great! It's lightweight. It just completed the room. Will definitely recommend Buxton Blinds to everyone! We live our new blinds!!

Shutters arrived in a reasonable amount of time. Measurement was fast and correct. The installer was super polite, clean, and efficient. the shutters look perfect!

Andrew and Shauna are awesome. My wife and I ordered several roll up shades as well as a large panel glide system and the process was a breeze. Andrew came out to discuss exactly what we were looking for and measured for our needs. My wife and I are pretty picky about colors and texture, so it took us a while to go through the multitude of samples. We never felt pressured or rushed, and in the end we got exactly what we wanted. We met with three window covering companies, and Buxton was the clear winner in terms of customer service, communication, and quality. Many thanks!

Great service and quick to communicate. Super fast installation and great quality. Would definitely recommend.

I'm giving a rating based on the post installation customer service experience. My husband had previously given a 5 star review after the install of our shades in our San Diego home. Our original 5 star review was based on our satisfaction with the installation process and the quality of the blinds. Since our installation, we had one of our blinds stop working and the remote device was not connecting. I personally reached out to Andrew requesting assistance troubleshooting over the phone. He was less than interested in doing so & directed me to contact Shauna via text, his scheduling assistant. I had texted Shauna to which she never responded. I texted Andrew back to let him know that Shauna had not responded. Andrew also chose to ignore my text. My husband finally called Andrew directly a few days later hoping to troubleshoot with him over the phone and again directed him to Shauna. He said the issue was likely that someone in our home had pushed a bunch of buttons on the remote and messed up the connection between it and the remote. Shauna finally did respond stating that they would not come out without a paid service call, the full amount sent to them in advance via "Zelle" (which seemed a little suspicious for a business to do before they even diagnose the problem). To me, this is NOT customer service! After 6 months of trying to get them to Given my frustration and disappointment with Buxton's post-installation services, I looked up other businesses in the area and reached out to a higher rated company who amazingly came out to our home FREE of charge to do an inspection the next day, found out it wasn't the remote at all, but rather the motor had burnt out. This company reached out to Graber on our behalf and secured a replacement under their warranty program. Within 2 weeks, we had a new working blind installed. The only cost to us was the install charge which was half the cost of what Buxton was trying to charge us for their service diagnostic call and we weren't charged anything in advance of the actual services being performed. This other company now gained a customer for any future needs in our home. I am expecting a defensive response from Andrew to my review as I can see he has responded to all his lower reviewed customers in this manner. Attaching proof of my text conversation with Andrew to support my claim which you can see in his short less than customer service oriented response to me. Do yourself a favor & find another business for your blinds/shades needs. As much as we prefer to support local family businesses, this one was always all about money before customer service. Just like previous reviewers, you have to pay all up front before an order will be placed & if you want any follow-up assistance after install, you are not a priority & when they are ready to schedule a service call you also have to "pay up front".

This is a privately owned and operated business serving San Diego, but they performed better than…read moreany big company could have on all fronts. Bob (co-owner with wife Lizzie) came out personally for the first assessment. We really didn't know the difference between blinds, shades, shutters, etc, but he brought us catalogs and we recognized shutters as the "window treatments" we liked best having stayed in air-bnbs. Turns out we have great taste, because this is NOT the cheapest way to go, but they worked with us on the cost so we could get what we wanted without breaking our budget. Now that the shutters are installed, I'm so glad we were able to make it happen. Our home looks completely transformed. The turn-around time was most impressive. A co-worker told me we might have to wait 2-3 months for shutters to be manufactured. We also recently replaced our windows and didn't want to re-hang the old blinds. Express Blinds had custom shutters made for 18 windows, a sliding door, and a half-circle window in 3 weeks! We worked with Linda to arrange for the installation to follow within a week of the window installation. She too is top-notch professional. She waited on me to get her a target date based on windows, then arranged for the installation to come less than a week later. She even called the afternoon before to tell me exactly when they would arrive. They arrived on time and completed the entire job in a single day. This was as stress free as a home-improvement project can be; we highly recommend Express Blinds!

From the first meeting, measuring and estimate which was done without pressure to purchase to today's installation things were done without pressure total professionalism. When we contacted them, Dave was quick to respond and set up the appointment for an estimate. The day of the scheduled estimate he kept us updated to his arrival and came as scheduled. He explained the process and the various products we could choose from. He had samples for us an explained what options might work best considering our weather conditions etc. He presented us an estimate with no pressure for what we chose. The choice was simple and we signed the contract. He made us aware of the timeline etc which was not as issue. As per Dave's meeting and contract we were contacted about a week before installation and asked if a given day would fit our schedule. The day before the scheduled installation we were texted a reminder. The morning of the installation we were called about 30 minutes before the scheduled time of arrival. They arrived right on time. Wade and his guys (Edgar and Sean) went right to work. They were professional and extremely courteous as well as personable. They wore "booties" and had no problem with our friendly dogs. When they were finished the only thing we had remaining was BEAUTIFUL PLANTATION SHUTTERS!!! I would recommend The Shutter Guys without hesitation and will be doing so to all of our neighbors and community. Thanks to Dave, Wade, Edgar and Sean for a seamless experience.

Hunter Douglas Roller Shades - Measurement Issues…read more We have owned Hunter Douglas shades in multiple homes and have always liked the quality of the products. This review is not about the shades themselves, but about the measurement and installation. We had previously worked with San Diego Shades and had a great experience, which makes this outcome especially disappointing. This time, instead of their technician, they sent the sales rep to do the measurements. All of the shades installed in our home were measured and cut slightly too small, leaving the wooden window frames visible on the sides when the shades are fully closed. While this may sound minor, it affects both the look and function of the shades. The issue is most noticeable in our bedroom, where we installed motorized room-darkening roller shades. Light still comes through the sides, which defeats the purpose of a room-darkening shade. I raised my concerns right after the upstairs bedroom installations, but the issue was dismissed with an explanation that didn't address the problem and did not and does not make sense. At the time, we were in the middle of multiple home projects, and I assumed I would eventually get used to them. I didn't -- and it continues to bother me every time I see them. When the downstairs shades were installed and had the same issue, I escalated the concern to a supervisor, and two of the cheaper shades were eventually replaced. Unfortunately, the bedroom shades were never corrected. Even now, the measurement issue is noticeable and frustrating. For a professional installation, I expected better attention to detail and follow-through. My advice: carefully review measurements and finished results before signing off.
