Window Coverings

We bought shutters and blinds for all windows in our new home. Steve Poxon, the owner of Shades of Home was easy to talk to and very knowledgeable. His prices were very competitive and the installation was completed on time and without incident. There were a couple of minor issues later that required adjustments and Steve sent his repair person over promptly. This was the third time I have purchased blinds from Shades of Home. The first time I purchased from them was in 2004 when we had shutters installed to cover an eight foot high set of sliding patio doors off the kitchen. Steve mentioned to me that, because of the size of the doors, the blinds may sag slightly over time and he would come back to adjust them if necessary. They did sag a bit after a while but I never bothered to call until 3 years later when we were selling the house. I don't think Steve had expected to be called 3 years later and he certainly was not obligated to do anything but he came over and fixed the problem personally.

Hello Steve
Thanks for the recommendation. I've lost track of time and I've almost forgotten that I had helped with the window treatments in your previous two homes.
My, how time flies! It just seems like yesterday when I started Shades of Home then I realize it was back in 1986
Thanks again for the recommendation on HomeStars.
Sincerely, Steve Poxon, Owner

Blinds and Shades for 2 properties

Excellent service. Steve is knowledgeable about the product, the alternatives and he has an excellent interior designer and install technician. In fact, when I was missing the dimensions of a condominium property in Toronto, Steve was resourceful enough to source the dimensions of this condo unit from the web. Sundeep

Assisted Review

An assisted review is collected by a contractor on behalf of the homeowner after their work is completed. The homeowner must confirm the text of the review and may make any changes she or he deems appropriate. The homeowner then assigns the contractor a review score out of 10. Assisted reviews receive the same scrutiny as other reviews and must follow our review guidelines.

Thank you to Marie at Shades Of Home for all her great advice. She assisted us in choosing new custom drapes, sheers and roman shades for our main floor. She also helped us choose paint colours to co-ordinate. Everything looks awesome! I'll definitely call for our next reno.

California Shutters

We were looking for a solution to heavy draperies and expensive curtains that kept breaking (Hunter Douglas blinds) we immediately saw a difference in the quality of window coverings, maintaining heat in the winter, and keeping shade in the summer months - helps with lowering utility bills a bit while looking great. I would highly recommend Shades of Home - no gimmicks and just delivery of what product we had been searching for.

Custom Drapery

Thanks so much to the team and Shades of Home, espcecially Marie. The advice she gave was great and the drapes we chose look lovely. The quality of the drapes and the installation of them was very professional. We were pleasantly surprised at how quick it was from point of order to point of installation.
