Price was the lowest of quotes received. After sale service was disappointing. Contacted about needing a change done and never bothered to respond to email. Would not recommend.

We absolutely love the bedroom sunscreen blinds and stylish entrance door shutter, Alan and Dawn have recently installed in our home. It is amazing how much these blinds have provided us with the privacy we were seeking, as we live on a corner section. They are also keeping out the UV rays from fading our bedding and furniture. A double win! Alan and Dawn make a great team, and we really appreciated their eye for detail at ensuring the fit was 100%. We highly recommend them.

Alan came up with a creative solution to installing major large scale drapes in our lounge which other people could or did not do. He, ably assisted by his wife, installed them and they have been a great success. From long experience, he knows the industry and products thoroughly and I have no hesitation in recommending his services to others. His charges were very competitive.

We recently used Shoestring blinds to do our whole house. From the moment we met Alan we were impressed with his knowledge and honesty. Nothing was too much trouble. When it came to installation Alan and Dawn were efficient and took great care in ensuring the curtains and blinds looked just right. We would definitely use this company again! George and Kleo

A friend recommended Shoestring Decor Blinds to me. Alan was very knowledgeable and professional when he came to measure up and knew exactly the right look, style & colours to suit my decor. I was thrilled with the job from start to finish and would highly recommend Alan to future purchasers.

Fantastic service, I have had my whole house transformed from unsightly blue vertical blinds existing when we bought the house, to modern light coloured double roller blinds. I have also used shutters on key windows. The service has been amazing, by a company that can think outside the box. Installation, working to attain the best aesthetic look, has been a priority giving me the best results, especially in a glass corner window and covering sliding doors. . The product quality is superior and at a fraction of the cost quoted by other retailers. Alan has, accommodated my financial time line to make this possible and create a win win situation. Could not wish for better. Thank you

Shoestring Decor Blinds have installed a number of shutters and a blind in our home. The product is excellent, cost effective and service exemplary. We have further shutters to install in the future and we would certainly use SDB again.

Job involved re-installing roller blinds after we painted the architraves. As always great, timely and friendly service from Shoestring. Neat professional job and nice that they could work around our availability. Thank you again.
