How to Choose the Right Blinds Company

Two people deciding right blinds with help of Laptop and color shade cardWhen you choose to pay for a service, you want to be confident in the people you are dealing with. The experts you choose should be part of a reputable company that will give you the service you need for the price you deserve.

When it comes to blinds and shutters, there are a few things you can look out for in a company to ensure that you want to do business with them.

Few things you should consider when choosing a blind company

A Range of Options

When redecorating and adding some accessories to your windows, you want options. You want to be presented with different options that not only meet your budget and functionality desires but also your personal style and the overall decor of the room.

A company specialising in blinds with a range of options for window coverings can best advise you on what option will be the best for you. For example, you want a company that has the forward thinking to stock something like Roller Sunscreen Blinds, but also understands the importance of the classics by stocking Venetian blinds.

Years of Experience

A company that has been in the business for many years is always a good one to start with. Years in the industry indicate experience in finding solutions for a range of window, privacy, light and ventilation problems.

Locally Manufactured Products

Think globally, act locally. There are many reasons to purchase locally manufactured products. Buying from an Auckland manufacturer means that you are helping the environment by reducing carbon emissions used to transport goods overseas.

In addition, supporting local manufacturer's means providing good quality jobs for your neighbours.

Known for Customer Service

Check references and online reviews and testimonials to see if the company you are considering is a company that truly values customer service. Ask the company if they provide help like a free measure and quote, or a free consultation to discuss colour, fabric and design.

A good blinds company will also offer plenty of aftercare support in the event that there is a problem once your blinds have been installed.

Perform Installations

You do not want to go through a contractor or a middleman. Choose a company that already has experienced installers on the staff. That way, the people you consult with are the people who will be installing your blinds.

Customised Solutions

It is always helpful to find a blinds company that will be able to come up with customised solutions to your window covering issues. Many companies are happy to discuss your requirements and come up with your very own custom timber blinds, for example.

Do They Offer Warranties?

A good blinds company, especially one that manufacturers their own products, will offer a comprehensive warranty on their products, all components of their products, and on an installation job well done.

Really impressed with Total Look Blinds, Terry was great to deal with and very knowledgeable with some great advice when selecting blinds. Great communication from Jo.

I love my roller blinds from Total Look Blinds, the products are great. They have excellent customer service, the sales, the admin and the installer are amazing. I have bought from them twice for my house in Oteha and now in Orewa where I moved recently. Terry is very expert, kind and helpful, he is a talented salesman.

Total blinds were Totally Professional. Excellent service from measurements to advice given through to the final fitting and the blinds look great! The price was also very reasonable and far better than competitor's. I totally recommended Total Blinds. Thanks! Jim

This is the second time we have used total look blinds and they are amazing! So simple to get a quote, easy ordering process and arrived much sooner than we thought! The installer was super lovely and I will be getting my blinds through this company again!

Kambiz Radman
Could not be happier with my new sun screens and blinds, look awesome. The material seems nice and hopefully durable (I'll update you on that later).
"Terry" is a positive Rep who speaks clearly. He measured well but didn't explain some installation details, which confused me afterward. However, "Carolyn" came to the site and explained everything very well. Roger is a professional installer who did a quick and clean job. Thanks "Jo" for admin updates and following up. 101% recommended.

Bhavika n Divesh Kumar
We used Total Look Blinds in 2005 for our family home. After 19 years of wear and tear we needed some parts and couple of vertical blinds track needed fixing. Took a drive to Takanini and was greeted by the office lady Jo who was very helpful and was amazed when she pulled out our 19 years old invoice from their record. The team manage to fix the track within a day and got the parts i needed at a fair price. Highly recommend them if you want quality products and a fantastic after sales service. Great company to deal with 😊
James B

Sincere thanks to Laren for your helpful advice and Carl for excellent installation…..much appreciated
Parvaneh Karimi Fishani
We had double roller blinds installed in our new house. The price was much more reasonable compared to other shops, and their service was reasonably fast. The staff were friendly and helpful!

I can't say much about the quality of the material since the blinds haven't been installed for long, but we hope they will be as good as the service we received!
David Lim
Vertical and horizontal blinds completed on time. Reliable and great people to deal. Over the years, I have engaged the services of Total Look Blinds a few times and I have always been pleased with the results. I would do it again in the future with any hesitation. Highly recommended.
Erin Corkhill
From Terry's measurements, to Brent's installation it couldn't have been a friendlier or smoother process. The shutters are stunning and I get stopped on the street by neighbours who compliment us on them. Total Look Blinds is a decision you won't regret.

WYNN RIECHELMANN
Absolutely love our TotalBlinds shutters! They have transformed our bedroom. Service from measure up and quote was excellent and communication with the TotalBlinds team was a pleasure! They took half the time than was quoted by another supplier and although they were a bit cheaper, the shutters are very good quality. Plus they are NZ made! Highly recommend!

From first contact with Sales Consultant Lauren to Jo in the office and installer Carl, the entire process was nothing short of exceptional.
