Very personable sales rep. Took time to explain options available and pros and cons of each. Worked up four estimates for us. We looked at pergolas and awnings.

I've been doing business with Shade & Shutter for over 25 years now and the staff there is always a pleasure to deal with. They provide professional installations and always takes pride in their work. Their team is never satisfied until they are certain that his customer is as well. We have always appreciated the business that Shade & SHutter has brought to us over the years and look forward to many years to come!

Tried to obtain a quote to install security screens over the summer. Went through the process of providing them with all of the window measurements/details and up to that point they were very responsive and helpful. However, every time I called after that I was told that Mike/Paul weren't available and that someone would call me back. After several calls and emails were made no response was received to obtain the formal quote.

We are so happy to give a 5 star review to Shade and Shutter Systems Inc. Owning a coastal home facing north presents special challenges with Cape storms. We selected the electric controlled roll shutter product. From our initial contact with Steve through frequent contact with the project foreman and wonderful installers, the project couldn't have gone better. The local showroom displays all the products to view, and the custom installation looks great.

The shutters also seem to be excellent quality. Before the order was sent to the factory, the installers came out to review it to make sure of any special challenges or material that would be required. After installation, which they worked around our schedules, they were careful to explain proper use and maintenance as well. It is obvious that this company takes great pride in their business, and realize that customer service and recommendations mean everything. We are very pleased, and look forward to the shutter protection during storm season.

As a new coastal home-owner, we contacted Shade & Shutter Systems to learn more about what products were available to protect our home. Our call was returned immediately and Paul Craig, owner of the company, provided exceptional detail about the various products and their benefits / drawbacks. We scheduled a site visit; Paul showed up right on time with samples and guided us through the various applications.

We selected the VueSafe product. Paul indicated a 2-week lead time. but as Hurricane Sandy approached Paul contacted us on Saturday morning to let us know they had accelerated production and an installer would be on-site that day. The installer, Ed, was prompt, courteous and diligent throughout the installation process. We couldn't be happier. The product is up and already we feel more secure. Many thanks to the entire Shade & Shutter System's team for exceptional customer service and rapid response during an emergency situation.
