Window Treatments

Recently we engaged Shades of Home to provide all the window coverings for the floor to ceiling windows in our condo.
From the first visit by Marie to the final installation of the drapery,the entire process went very smoothly and delivery was right on time.
Joe ,their new installer was very innovative in solving an installation problem and did an excellent job.
In all we were very impressed by the professionalism,the visits to the condo by Marie at every step and her expertise in helping to choose the appropriate shades and sheers.
This is a company that goes out of their way to satisfy their clients and we would not hesitate to recommend them!

window coverings for the home

We've moved to Oakville recently and required window coverings throughout our home. Marie was extremely helpful in selecting the perfect products for the various windows in our home. We are very pleased with the final result. The service at Shades of Home is professional and timely (the only company that returned my calls from online requests). Thank you Marie and your team for facilitating this process.

Window Treatments for Home

We first engaged Shades of Home eight years ago to help us with window treatments in our home. We recently moved and did not hesitate to return to them to provide the same service. The entire staff is extremely professional, courteous and skilled, they provide quality products and workmanship, and their pricing is very competitive. We are very pleased with the end result. Thank you Steve, Marie and Kirk for all of your help. Shades of Home does one thing and they DO do it really, really well!

Custom window coverings

Shades of home is an extremely professional company with wonderful employees. Marie was lovely and came to our home personally to assess what would look best in our space. Kirk was friendly, professional and did an excellent job installing blinds throughout our home. The cost was definitely competitive and we would absolutely recommend this company to others looking for beautiful window coverings in their home

Shutter Installation

We had an excellent experience with Shades of Home. From Marie's consultation, to Kirk's install, everything was great! Marie even followed up a few days after the install to make sure everything was as expected. I'll admit that we did explore other options before going with Shades of Home, but they back their work and were very competitively priced. Very satisfied!

Blinds and shutters

I had a great experience with this company. Having moved into a newly built home we needed coverings for all windows. Marie was fantastic in helping me decide what the best treatments for my windows are and I found the pricing to be very reasonable. when Kirk came to measure he recommended I provide a paint sample of my trim so the shutters would match....something I didn't even think of! When Kirk came back for installation he did a great job, very professional and nice to work with. We would highly recommend Shades of Home.

***

WHO WE ARE - over 35 years in the window covering business

We do one thing, and we do it Really, Really Well.

Our DRAPERY SPECIALISTS and workroom can create any soft fabric treatment. Our showrooms carry a huge selection of designer drapery fabrics for our clients to choose from. Many of our drapery clients come to us after we have provided 'functional' window treatments in their homes or in their friends home and others have found our showroom on their own.

MAXXMAR offers some of the most innovative and well priced window treatments in the marketplace today. We offer the full line of MaxXmar window fashions at prices our competition can't beat.

HUNTER DOUGLAS: We have been a Hunter Douglas dealer for over 20 years. Both of our showrooms are SHOWCASE SHOWROOMS meaning you will find every Hunter Douglas product on display with staff who can explain every Hunter Douglas option and our volume pricing ensures that it will be unlikely you will find a lower price on you Hunter Douglas Manual and PowerView shades.

SUNGLOW: Specializing in the manufacturing of Sunscreen roller shades for residential and commercial applications, we offer SunGlow to our clients who are looking for oversized shades not available from Hunter Douglas, Elite or MaxXmar. Their experience in Somfy motorization, linked shades, height and width makes them one of our key suppliers for commercial and condo applications.

ELITE WINDOW FASHIONS: Since 1967 this Canadian company has been offering a wide selection of quality window coverings. Well priced with fabrics similar to Hunter Douglases offerings, including e-motion and Somfy motorization.

MOTORIZATION We have been selling, installing and programming motorized shades and drapery long before it became an entry level option for automating window coverings - 35 years to be exact. Knowledge AND experience is an absolute necessity and all of our staff and technical installers are trained. Not only will the shades be properly installed but also programmed and integrated into a variety of smart home systems.

Our sales approach is one of collaboration. Our staff is hired for their ability and trained to spend enough time with the client to fully understand their expectations, needs and budget. Then we can suggest options and allow the client to make the value decision for themselves.

We spend the extra time with each client to ensure they are choosing the right product that will provide solutions to their needs. We try our best to balance privacy, light control with the right product that fits within the clients budget.

All in all I strive to make the environment and experience as stress-free as possible for my staff and clients.

Sincerely,
Stephen Poxon
