Hunter Douglas Motorized Shades

We had old vertical blinds on sliding doors, two sets later that kept breaking, we purchased Hunter Douglas motorized shades for glass sliding doors and 3 other window. Hilary was a gem to work with, gave us a good price. Installers were friendly and helpful. I would definitely recommend this company to anyone needing good service and good products. Thanks Hilary for making this such a wonderful experience. Hope to work with you and your team again! Catherine D.

Love, Love, Love our Shutters

For years we debated whether to install shutters in our home so we lived with 3 different types of window treatments throughout the second floor. When we finally decided to go with shutters our research lead us to many horror stories of poor quality and high prices. Even though budget is important, we did not want to compromise quality. Our search led us to Shades of Home in Oakville and we couldn’t be happier with our Eclipse 4.5” shutters. The planning and quoting process was easy. Hilary walked us through the process and gave us great tips to consider when selecting size and style. The installers pre-booked measurement and installation dates. Within 3 weeks we had new shutters installed in 10 windows by very efficient and clean professionals. We had a great experience with Shades of Home. The price was competitive but the quality is unmatched. We would definitely recommend them to our family and friends.

Drapery treatments

My husband and I went into Marie’s Caledonia showroom and talked to her. She was great! She really listened to what we were looking for and made some great suggestions. She even sent us pictures so we could actually see some samples of drapery treatments that would work for us. We gave her the measurements of our windows and she was able to come up with a rough quote for the 7 windows. Once my husband and I ahead with the order, Marie came to our home with numerous fabric books and helped us select some beautiful fabrics that complimented the individual rooms. The installations went very smoothly. My husband and I really appreciated Marie letting us know as soon as possible when the curtains were going to be ready,
how long before they would be installed. I even appreciated her keeping me in the loop and letting me know how long it was going to be when the installer was running a little late. My husband and I love or new window treatments and we are very happy that we chose Shades of Home to make them for us because from start to finish it was a very positive experience. We highly recommend them!

Great Job and excellent service.

I called Shades of Home for a second estimate and they provided a better price. However, the service is what I most appreciated.

From the first visit to do measuring; to the quality of the product and finally the professional delivery and installation, I couldn't be happier.

Thank you Marie and Steve!

Excellent Project with Shades of Home

We recently moved into a custom-built, new home. As first time house owners, we were unsure about the style and type of window coverings that would best suit our taste and needs. Marie visited us on numerous occasions to guide us through the selection process. She was very patient despite our indecisiveness, and offered a lot of good design advice. We experienced a shipping delay with some of our blinds, but Marie was able to quickly rectify the issue. We highly recommend Marie and her team!

New Build-Hunter Douglas Banded Shades and Drapery

Excited to share my experience with Shades of Home! Contacted S of H in March to purchase blinds ( Hunter Douglas banded shades and roller blinds ) for new home, then again in October for some valances and drapery panels. Everyone who assisted me from lovely women in show room ( sorry forget name) to Steve, Marie and Raj and wife were approachable, knowledgeable and enthusiastic about my project. With only a few brief conversations prior to meeting for drapes selection, Marie had exactly the fabrics, tracks etc that I had in mind so the selection process was simple. The lead time of 4-5 week on both orders was faster than expected..!! Marie even dropped by on installation day-beyond expectations!! The pricing was more than competitive based on other quotes and past experience. Would not hesitate to recommend!! Wish I had more windows!!

Roller Shades and Blinds

We had a very good experience with Shades of Home.
We bought a new home and we needed to treat all the windows of different sizes. Hilary was the one who helped us. Whole process from initial consultation, to choose design, purchase, and then installation was a breeze. We highly recommend Shades of Home to everyone.
