New Town Home window coverings

I chose Shades of Home Oakville to provide all the new window and door coverings in my new town home. Jasmina provided expert advice and was a great support in helping me make my selection with so many choices available. The installation was seamless and on time even in these uncertain times ( COVID-19 restrictions ) . Thank you Jasmina for your prompt attention to my needs. It was exciting to see and now live with the final products

Great Service and Products

We checked out several drapery companies but Shades of Home won our business with their combination of friendly, attentive service and great product range. Their rep was willing to spend as much time as we wanted to make sure we got the right product for our home. Their team showed up on time to do the final measurements, and, despite COVID-19, they delivered the finished product right on time. The installation was quick and the cleanup thorough. We would certainly recommend this company for any window covering assignment.

Wall to wall sheers

I can’t say enough positive things about this studio! I walked in with a picture of what I was trying to achieve for our master bedroom - wall to wall sheets with a particular type of fold in the drape. Jasmina was able to guide me through step by step and helped match the perfect fabric to my paint and wallpaper swatch’s that would give me the effect I was looking for. I’m thrilled with the final product! The quality is amazing, install easy and it’s exactly how I envisioned it!!

Bedroom blinds

I would highly recommend Shades of Home. I received excellent advice from Marie regarding the best type of blackout blinds. The showroom had a wide variety of choices and Marie made further suggestions when she came to do the measurements. The installer Raj was efficient and very neat. The blinds look great. Thanks. Anne

Condo Drapery

We are thrilled with the end result of the drapery panels and shades selected for our condo by Marie - Shades of Home.
The window placement in the bedrooms are odd and I was at a loss as to what to do. Marie was patient, honest and extremely helpful to solve this dilemma.
Marie gave us numerous fabric choices for our living and dining rooms and the end result is perfect!
Raj and his team were phenomenal! Extremely efficient and his goal was to ensure we were happy. Would highly recommend Shades of Home.

Drapery for the house

Working with Marie at Shades of Home was an incredible experience. From the first interaction, she was very professional, worked diligently to source any of the material they didn’t have on hand and helped us with every question we had. She let us know of any potential delays and was always responsive.
The quality of the work is really remarkable. The drapes have transformed our house into a home. We honestly couldn’t be happier.
Lastly, we need to call out the installation itself. Raj and his team were wonderful to work with - they finished each room quickly and made sure there were no wrinkles in the fabric.
Truly wonderful people to work with, we would recommend them again and again.

Bedroom

Marie brought numerous samples to my home and helped me with the decision and I am very pleased with the end result. The installation team were very professional but also very personable and did lovely job installing the blinds and sheers. They also took away all the wrappings and left everything neat and tidy. Thank you to all involved. Wonderful people to work with and highly recommended.

Loft Living

We bought a loft with floor to ceiling windows in the living room and bedroom. Both rooms face south and are directly across the street from an apartment building. Besides wanting privacy we also needed a little shade from the heat of the sun. We opted for dual shades in both room to solve both issues.
Steve was extremely helpful, not only from the initial online enquiries, but with the in-store visit to organize the details.
And then there was Raj, the installer, who makes it look like the shades have always been there. Great attention to detail!

Thanks.

The photos of the end result are Stunning! The Maxxmar double roller shades in the grande cassette were the best solution for your wide and tall windows.

I'd also like to thank you for sharing the photos of the finished work with me. If you have a chance, please post them here so others can see what they look like.

Thanks again.

***

WHO WE ARE - over 35 years in the window covering business

We do one thing, and we do it Really, Really Well.

Our DRAPERY SPECIALISTS and workroom can create any soft fabric treatment. Our showrooms carry a huge selection of designer drapery fabrics for our clients to choose from. Many of our drapery clients come to us after we have provided 'functional' window treatments in their homes or in their friends home and others have found our showroom on their own.

MAXXMAR offers some of the most innovative and well priced window treatments in the marketplace today. We offer the full line of MaxXmar window fashions at prices our competition can't beat.

HUNTER DOUGLAS: We have been a Hunter Douglas dealer for over 20 years. Both of our showrooms are SHOWCASE SHOWROOMS meaning you will find every Hunter Douglas product on display with staff who can explain every Hunter Douglas option and our volume pricing ensures that it will be unlikely you will find a lower price on you Hunter Douglas Manual and PowerView shades.

SUNGLOW: Specializing in the manufacturing of Sunscreen roller shades for residential and commercial applications, we offer SunGlow to our clients who are looking for oversized shades not available from Hunter Douglas, Elite or MaxXmar. Their experience in Somfy motorization, linked shades, height and width makes them one of our key suppliers for commercial and condo applications.

ELITE WINDOW FASHIONS: Since 1967 this Canadian company has been offering a wide selection of quality window coverings. Well priced with fabrics similar to Hunter Douglases offerings, including e-motion and Somfy motorization.

MOTORIZATION We have been selling, installing and programming motorized shades and drapery long before it became an entry level option for automating window coverings - 35 years to be exact. Knowledge AND experience is an absolute necessity and all of our staff and technical installers are trained. Not only will the shades be properly installed but also programmed and integrated into a variety of smart home systems.

Our sales approach is one of collaboration. Our staff is hired for their ability and trained to spend enough time with the client to fully understand their expectations, needs and budget. Then we can suggest options and allow the client to make the value decision for themselves.

We spend the extra time with each client to ensure they are choosing the right product that will provide solutions to their needs. We try our best to balance privacy, light control with the right product that fits within the clients budget.

All in all I strive to make the environment and experience as stress-free as possible for my staff and clients.

Sincerely,
Stephen Poxon
