First of all, Melissa is as good as they come. I went with the imported plantation shutters, and while the timeline for the imports is a little longer than domestic (to be expected), Melissa was communicative throughout the process from start to finish. The value for the quality of these shutters is second to none, and I couldn't be more pleased. Melissa and TDS definitely have my business! read more

Melissa is fabulous!! Very attentive and knowledgeable! She will listen to your needs and try to find the best design that fits your budget. She also does not forget about you after the job is done! If there is anything you need in the future or any problems with the shutter she is around to make sure it gets fixed. Such a pleasure working with someone who truly knows what customer service means! read more

When I bought my new home, it came with a rounded-top front window that was clearly visible from the street and a major factor in the curb appeal. Putting horizontal blinds across the window and leaving the arch bare would have been unacceptable. I received a few flyers from local shutter companies and called each, providing dimensions and pictures, to obtain quotes. Melissa provided the lowest price quote and had top-tier reviews. Even after asking other companies to match or beat her quote, not a single other company even bothered to call me back....and I couldn't be happier. Melissa and Texas Direct Shutters were absolutely hassle free, transparent, and provided a fantastic product that I am VERY glad to have in my home. The in-home consultation was quick and easy. She talked me through the options, the pricing, and matched my paint color. The product was delivered and installed ahead of the quoted time. In every aspect, she hit the ball out of the park. I wish everyone mirrored her commitment to professionalism, the pride she takes in her product and in her communication, and her transparency. I recommend Melissa and Texas Direct Shutters with zero caveats. If I ever need another shutter, she will be the ONLY person I call. read more

Highly recommend!!! When it comes to vendors for window treatments there are many choices. I am very pleased I choose to give my business to Texas Direct Shutters. Their options for window treatments are wide and the quality of their suppliers is high. I chose plantation shutters for my office and bedroom and woven wooden shades for my guest room. Kudos to my awesome rep, Melissa D. who made the entire process fun and easy. She was so patient with me and offered her keen eye in helping with my final decisions. Melissa deserves five stars with her stellar customer service. Everything was top notch from the selection process to installation. Thank you, Melissa. read more

We ordered window treatments for our entire house - brand new build. Melissa was super patient, came out multiple times for me to look at fabrics, options, etc. We started out wanting shutters on the lower floor and roller shades upstairs. We ended up with something much different which meant Melissa worked through a bunch of options and quotes for us. Once everything was installed, we noticed the first night the blackout shades in our master were not the right color. She came over and walked in and said, "that's not the right fabric..." and right away put in the correct order for us. So you get great stuff and the prices are comparable, sure. Window treatments are window treatments; they aren't falling apart, they look good, and I'm happy with them. What earns her 5 stars and what I have sincerely appreciated about Melissa is her communication. She is so flexible. She understands my schedule for work and accommodates it. She follows up when I've not gotten back with her or when the delivery and install was taking longer than 2 weeks. Every step of the way I haven't felt like I needed to manage her to get the work done. I trusted that she was handling it and would give me updates, etc. It's something I don't see enough of these days. Thank you Melissa! Wish you did more than window treatments bc I could use your organization, management skills, and customer service skills with other vendors and even in my profession! :) read more

Melissa and the workers were prompt and did a fantastic job creating and installing exactly the right product for us. Melissa was always present to oversee the work and ensure everything went perfectly, and to answer any questions. We had to order some secondary pieces and Melissa made sure everything went as smoothly as possible. The communication was open and easy and Melissa and the workers were entirely reliable. Everybody was safe and professional and we enjoyed the whole experience. read more

Melissa was fantastic! She was on time for all appointments, and we started with a conversation around the materials and colors. I was new to this, but we outlined what my main goals and concerns were before we started looking at options. She has a lot of experience and knowledge in what she does too. Once we picked out materials, it took around 2-3 weeks to get in, and the install was quick and easy from her team. Measurements looked great, and I am so happy with how everything turned out. I would recommend Melissa to anyone for her excellent products, exceptional service, and her overall welcoming and friendly persona. read more

Melissa is amazing! She was very responsive and kept us updated throughout the process. Her artistic eye was just what we were looking for as we needed a little help deciding what to put in our kitchen windows. She also carries an huge selection, so I'm sure she can find or make whatever you are looking for to cover your windows! read more

I am so pleased with my shutters I ordered from Texas Direct and the service provided by Melissa and the installers. Melissa was so helpful in picking the style, color and type of shutters for my house and she was there when they were installed in case there was a problem- which there wasn't because everything was measured perfectly. Highly recommend this company. read more

We ordered window treatments for our whole house. Melissa came out several times so I could look at fabrics and determine which shades I liked best. She sends you a writeup of the exact cost so you know exactly what you are getting and paying. She is unbelievably patient and excellent about following up when you have questions etc. Once my shades were installed, she came out many times after to fix a few issues and was not content until everything was perfect. The best thing about her is she is a perfectionist like myself, so in the end everything looked exactly the way I wanted it too. I love my new shades and I highly recommend Melissa and Texas Direct Shutters! read more

Melissa was so great to work with. She was so professional, yet so easy to talk to. She had such great ideas, and seemed to know exactly what I wanted. She never rushed me to decide. She was there every step of the way including the installation of all my products. She kept me informed the entire process from ordering, to shipments, to working with our schedule to get to the finish line. I am so happy with my shutters and shades and will continue to work with Melissa on any future projects. read more

We used Texas Direct to buy Plantation Shutters for the front of our home and roller shades for our back-facing windows. We could not be more pleased with both our sales rep, Melissa and her installation team. They were professional and punctual.....and their pricing was super competitive with other bids I received. Would absolutely use them again! read more

I had used Texas Direct to install faux wood blinds for a rental home in Austin and had a great experience, so when we purchased a new home in Houston I had them come see me about plantation shutters. Melissa came to my home and was great about explaining all of the different shutter options showing me both samples as well photos to help me with my choices. I also knew this was going to be a big investment and Texas Direct was the most competitive to two other companies that I had come out. After placing my order Melissa even kept me updated on the progress of my order and was there for the installation to make sure everything was installed just as expected. Brian, the installer was courteous and professional and before I knew it, he had my entire house installed (the entire installation took about 3 hours). Melissa even followed up a week later to make sure I was happy with everything. I don't believe you can go wrong with the company, or the people that work there. Top notch!!! read more
