I wanted to work with a small family owned business. I would give a 5 star if not for the mishaps, it may not be a big deal to others but it did to me. First the salesman was the first to start the chain of events. Asked him to let me know when my check was received and he said, ok. Well I let enough time to pass to think it was delivered. Couldn’t get ahold of him, no return text, no return calls and then finally when I reach him he says he has nothing to do with when the check arrives. Well then why didn’t you say that when I asked you instead of ok? I was trying to get an install by a certain date and I felt his lack of effort didn’t help. Then 2nd which I can now understand, (it was frustrating waiting all day), the truck broke down before my install. No other way to get the shutters. Now the install is ready and the company didn’t do the right way for the main window. They made it without the bar in the middle for opening and closing. I asked the guy if he could just leave it and he said they will need it to correct it. Ok up and down with drapes on and off and on. Luckily we didn’t remove the hardware. Now another day wasted. Called the office for an update didn’t hear from the text sent that they would get back with a date of completion. I explained about the inconvenience of not having the shutters and the woman said he could of just left the shutters until the install. Ugh! So now I’m in a situation when they were going to install and my husband would be out of town. Again, the timing was bad. So I said to the woman that we’ve had enough mistakes can they move it up. In the meantime my husband had to reschedule his flight. They moved it by 2 days. I’m glad they did something. I can’t complain about the quality or any issues with installing. The workers were very accommodating and knew their job. But everything else, ugh!

The Sundevil Shutter team provided an outstanding installation of my special shutters. With high ceilings and large triangular windows in my home, I needed custom shutters, and they delivered exactly what I was looking for. The price was very reasonable, and the quality of the shutters is exceptional. I was particularly impressed with their precise measurements for my unique windows. The installation team was highly efficient, completing the entire job in under 30 minutes, and my husband and I couldn't be happier with the results. I confidently recommend their services to anyone in need of custom shutter solutions!

These are amazing. We purchased these for a rental home and the shutters alone make the house look 1 million times better. They frame out every window perfectly. Everyone was amazing to work with. I can’t stress how much help they were in getting everything done and everything right. To say that I couldn’t be happier is such an understatement. I wish I could post all that before and after shots because you’d be amazed at how it’s just a brand new house.

Initial quote was free, the owner came out with a lot of great samples, so it allowed us to choose exactly what we wanted. Price was very reasonable for the 3 custom cut honeycomb style blinds! And wow! They are making so much of a difference with the temperature of the rooms that they were installed in. They are all west facing and our ac just wasn’t keeping up with how hot it is outside. These new blinds have made a world of difference. Install was quick and they fit perfectly! Thank you!

This was a great experience from the initial meeting to the installation. The shutters look amazing. The price is right. And I love that this is a locally-owned business. I highly recommend!

We had a very good experience with Sun Devil Shutters. We got 10 electric blinds and set it up with the hub. They provided us a time frame for the installation and they came in within the time frame. We worked with Robin and she was excellent. Everything has been working great so far a few months in. We are happy we went with them!
