A good friend them referred me to Exotic shades and draperies, whom I contacted as a last shot. The owner guaranteed he could use the exact same fabrics my designer chose and recess the track into the ceiling (the other company wasn't sure and talked about extra charges) and do it all for 30% less. It wasn't just about the price, I felt in better hands than with the other company. In the end, he delivered exactly what he promised, on time, and the took the time to protect all the furniture. I really enjoyed the experience and I'm more than happy to recommend him if someone asks. **Comment from Exotic Shades & Draperies:** > Thank you for giving us that “last shot.” I’m glad we could match your designer’s exact fabrics and engineer the ceiling-recessed track without surprise add-ons.
