Valancing Act was great to work with. We got shutters and motorized shades and we are very happen with them. Dave was easy to work with on the quote and the measurements. Kelsi was a great communicator with the scheduling. Geo, the installer, was so friendly and considerate of our home. He cleaned up after. I would highly recommend them for your window coverings. read more

We just finished remodeling our home in San Luis Obispo and used Valancing Act for our window treatments. Brandon was punctual, friendly, and very thorough when presenting all of our options. We ended up going with cellular shades and absolutely love the way they turned out. The install team was also very professional and fast. We'll definitely be calling Brandon when we have another project. read more

Joni and Bryan are a great team! We had drapes and blinds made for our living room, drapes made for our main bedroom and a valence for our kitchen window. Everything was done in a highly professional manner and the results have been fantastic! We couldn't be happier with the quality of the workmanship and the level of communication with us. Joni has a wonderful eye for design and was very helpful in choosing the right fabrics, colors and hardware. We would recommend their services to anyone looking for beautiful, high-quality window treatments. read more

We bought a vacation home in Atascadero about a year ago. We live in LA, so we didn't really know where to begin when it came to redoing the window treatments in the house. I found Brandon and his company on Yelp. He and his brother have been just great throughout our never-ending project. :) Valancing Act has been exactly what we needed, and we were thrilled to find a wonderful company in town to work with. Brandon worked with our interior designer to provide the exact shades we wanted for all the rooms, and also installed all of our romans and drapes. All of our romans are also on a remote to open and close them, and Brandon and his brother provided that system and helped us set up and get it working just right. We've come to really enjoy getting to know Brandon and his family. I couldn't be happier to have found an excellent family business to work with for our window treatment needs. Do yourself a favor if you're looking or even just thinking about getting new window treatments, and give Brandon a call. You won't regret it. He's incredibly professional and cares about making sure his customers are happy - kind of a rarity these days. read more

A+ in every way. We had Valancing Act create window coverings for practically every room in our home. We got plantation shutters for our kids' rooms, roman shades in the kitchen and dining room, and custom draperies for the family room, office, and master bedroom. Every single purchase has been of the absolute highest quality and delivered right on time. I have received tons of compliments in particular on my family room drapes, which Joni helped me design in a way I never would have considered without her input. Joni and Bryan are the ultimate professionals, and nice people to boot. They respect your time (ie, they arrive when they say they will... which seems to be rare with contractors these days), provide great advice in terms of what will be most workable in a given room, and they deliver a superb finished product. On the occasions when we had any issue, they addressed it immediately and to our total satisfaction (eg, shutters that didn't close effectively in one room - due to a manufacturing problem - were replaced after Bryan contacted the manufacturer). The 1-star review from 2012 is unfortunate because quality window coverings can have a high cost, depending on what you choose. But we shopped around and actually found Valancing Act to be more reasonable compared with other quotes in the area. I recommend them 100%. We are very, very happy with all of their work. read more

Valancing Act is a very professional local based company! The owners have a very wide selection of materials and creative solutions and will spend the time and energy to make the final work product beyond one's expectations. Our new home is in downtown San Luis Obispo, and we desired modern shade window pulls and custom valances of metal and fabrics. Valancing Act performed the work quickly, professionally, and with high grade materials, at prices that were very competitive compared to traditional big box competitors. I would not hesitate to talk and work with the owners. They simply go the extra mile to make sure the customer comes first. Lee Bren San Luis Obispo Ca read more

At first when you walk in, you may not think much of the place, not sure what products they have, etc...however, Bryan and Joni are masters of their trade. I had forgotten they actually made our curtains 15 yrs ago. They know all the options and helped us pick out perfect shades for our home as well as some new curtains. Unlike other places, you are not talking to a college kid who will have to call someone who knows something about the products. Service is top notch, and lots of products to choose from--samples etc to take home-- with great advice if you want it (and ok if you don't want it... they are not pushy or annoying). We love our Hunter Douglas shades and Bryan expertly and quickly installed them. read more

I had a wonderful experience with the Joni and Bryan from the Valancing Act!!! I had met with a few different companies to to have my draperies done as well as the rods and hardware before choosing the Valancing Act. I have expensive taste and am on a tight budget so I was very pleased when I received the quote for the hardware and draperies from the Valancing Act. They are very competitive and do quality work!! Joni and Bryan went out of their way to help me get my job done at a price I could afford and a result I love!!! They came and measured as well as troubleshot some odd windows I have with some design ideas and then came back out for installation. I did three bedrooms with custom drapery and rods first and then went back to them for some decorative curtains recently in our pub. I can't wait to use them for my living room!! They are awesome and I highly recommend them!!! read more

Bryan and Joni love what they do and it reflects in their work. They installed a combination of shades, valances, and drapes (made right in their shop) in our home. Every step of the process was done with precise attention to detail. They made several trips to our home to make sure measurements were spot on and ensure we would be pleased with our selections. They give excellent customer service and they are a pleasure to have in your home. We will definitely be repeat customers. read more
