How to Choose the Right Blinds Company

Two people deciding right blinds with help of Laptop and color shade cardWhen you choose to pay for a service, you want to be confident in the people you are dealing with. The experts you choose should be part of a reputable company that will give you the service you need for the price you deserve.

When it comes to blinds and shutters, there are a few things you can look out for in a company to ensure that you want to do business with them.

Few things you should consider when choosing a blind company

A Range of Options

When redecorating and adding some accessories to your windows, you want options. You want to be presented with different options that not only meet your budget and functionality desires but also your personal style and the overall decor of the room.

A company specialising in blinds with a range of options for window coverings can best advise you on what option will be the best for you. For example, you want a company that has the forward thinking to stock something like Roller Sunscreen Blinds, but also understands the importance of the classics by stocking Venetian blinds.

Years of Experience

A company that has been in the business for many years is always a good one to start with. Years in the industry indicate experience in finding solutions for a range of window, privacy, light and ventilation problems.

Locally Manufactured Products

Think globally, act locally. There are many reasons to purchase locally manufactured products. Buying from an Auckland manufacturer means that you are helping the environment by reducing carbon emissions used to transport goods overseas.

In addition, supporting local manufacturer's means providing good quality jobs for your neighbours.

Known for Customer Service

Check references and online reviews and testimonials to see if the company you are considering is a company that truly values customer service. Ask the company if they provide help like a free measure and quote, or a free consultation to discuss colour, fabric and design.

A good blinds company will also offer plenty of aftercare support in the event that there is a problem once your blinds have been installed.

Perform Installations

You do not want to go through a contractor or a middleman. Choose a company that already has experienced installers on the staff. That way, the people you consult with are the people who will be installing your blinds.

Customised Solutions

It is always helpful to find a blinds company that will be able to come up with customised solutions to your window covering issues. Many companies are happy to discuss your requirements and come up with your very own custom timber blinds, for example.

Do They Offer Warranties?

A good blinds company, especially one that manufacturers their own products, will offer a comprehensive warranty on their products, all components of their products, and on an installation job well done.

Terry and his team always provide great service, product and price. Would happily recommend.Krizelle R ★★★★★ Seamless and amazing service. Quick responses and quotes. I had tried other companies but Total Look Blinds had the best offer. It's also great to know that I'm dealing with a local business that manufactures and supplies their own blinds.Appreciated Lauren coming to the Waikato for a measure, originally thought it was for Auckland only. I had intended to go for a different set of blinds but after consulting, the one I ended up choosing turned out way better as it matches the house.Installation was a breeze, Carl was apparently quite new but it sure didn't seem like it! Blinds look amazing. There was one I pointed out that appeared a bit slanted and Carl took it back with him to have it fixed. The team worked on it with no fuss and now I have perfect blinds to enjoy (:Highly recommended, will be requesting again for my other windows! Thanks team.Jo Makin ★★★★★ Amazing service from the beginning thank you, my blinds look beautiful, having them on remote as well makes life easyGary Patterson ★★★★★ Great advice, service, installation and price.

We have installed black, blackouts in a bathroom with black tiles (with mounting into tiles, with the installation done expertly!), the rest were a combination of 2% & 5% shade in white. They have come up great. The installation by Joe and another Terry was fantastic, both lovely guys! Highly recommend.Vicki Landon ★★★★★ Cannot fault Caroline and the team from Total Look Blinds.
