Joe (Sales) and Chris (Install) did a wonderful job. The finished product turn out better than I imagined. They cleaned up and put everything back in it's place. I liked the fact that the shutters are US made and not imported like some other shutter lines. I would recommend Elite Shutters and Blinds.

We had a great experience with Elite Shutters & Blinds. Our neighbors recommended the company, and they were responsive, accommodating with scheduling, and we are so very pleased with our shutters. We selected a unique custom color, and we are extremely happy with the look of our updated home exterior. We would highly recommend Elite Shutters and Blinds to other customers needing an exterior face lift as our home did!

Tiffany spent 2 hours at my new home explaining all the options. I was going to just install plantation shutters in the main living areas and wait to install roman shades in the bedrooms at a later date. She was so thorough and her products were so exceptional that I had her do the entire house at the same time. Chris, the installer, could not have been more professional. The installation went beautifully and he took the time to explain how to work the shutters and shades. I could not be more pleased with this company. Their prices are excellent too.

We interviewed three different shutter providers to manufacture and install new shutters on the exterior of our home. We were instantly impressed with the knowledge, professionalism and general commitment to customers exhibited by Elite Shutter & Blinds. Our design consultant, Tiffany, was genuinely interested in helping us select the right shutters in order to compliment our home. Pricing was competitive and delivery/installation was on time and faultless. Would highly recommend to anyone in need of exterior shutters.

The level of professionalism demonstrated by this husband and wife team, along with their staff of skilled workers is extraordinary. After having the shutters in our home for 2 weeks now I am very happy we decided to go with Elite Shutters and Blinds.
Thank you.

I recently had interior plantation shutters installed on all my windows of my new home by Elite after having them in my other home. The quality, price, and timing exceeded all other options and I couldn't be happier.

We chose Elite to construct and install interior plantation shutters for all of our home's windows after carefully researching not only what makes one shutter superior to another, but also on the quality of installation, warranty, and customer service after-the-fact. We had the plantation shutters installed over the span of several months, one large section at a time. We absolutely love them. Our interior has been transformed and curbside appeal enriched. We recently hosted a holiday party and were proud to have people in our home. Within the next year, we will install new patio doors and will have Elite custom design shutters for those, as well. We are lucky to have this company in our area and recommend them to anyone wanting very high-quality and dependable shutters and blinds.

We needed to protect our windows from stray golf balls. Fortunately, we contacted Elite Shutters and spoke with Darrel. Within a week Darrel arrived at our home with several recommendations. Darrel was very knowledgeable of all of the shutters and therefore was able to address all of our questions and concerns. After making our selection, Darrel quickly measured our windows (accurately), and ordered the shutters. We received the shutters within 4-5 weeks. Darrel and crew was able to install all of the shutters within 4-5 hours. Throughout the entire transaction, Darrel was very professional and ensured that everything met or exceeded our expectations. We how have golf ball proof windows and have received numerous compliments. I highly recommend that you consider Darrel and Elite Shutters.

Tiffany was wonderful to work with. Very knowledgeable about blind products and applications that would work best for each window situation. She was able to work within my budget without compromising quality and for that I am most appreciative. The install went well and quickly.

This company installed Bahama Shutters around our patio to provide privacy from a new home construction next door. From start to finish of this project, Elite Shutters and Blinds was prompt, knowlegeable and very courteous. We are very pleased with their product as well as the installation.

I recently moved into an 82-year-old home and began renovations. I selected Elite to hang wooden window blinds throughout about half of the home. The work was meticulously completed and I am completely satisfied. They took tremendous pride in their work, and it shows.
I plan to call on them in about two months to undertake another project.

Darrell Dean of Elite Shutters and Blinds met with us about producing and installing exterior shutters. He was professional, honest and competitive all while providing great advice for such a large size for exterior shutters and a high quality finished product.
We have also used him to make and install interior plantation shutters for another home and again, he used his experience to recommend the appropriate product for the project and was professional in his dealings. We have been extremely happy with his products and services and look forward to using Darrell with Elite Shutters and Blinds again.

After a botched shutter job with another company, Darrell/Elite Shutters & Blind was hired to remove and replace the other shutters. The service received was impeccable. I would hire him again in a second. He steered the design in the right direction to enhance the open floor plan of the home, he removed the old shutters with care and installed the new ones ordered through him in a quick, efficient, professional and clean manner. His workmanship is wonderful and the quality of the wood shutters themselves is great.

I have a 7000 sqft home in SC and contacted Elite Shutters and Blinds during our renovation. They were prompt and courteous during the initial exterior shutter proposal. Although I had a "plan" they were able to discuss other more feasible options and break out pricing (front and back) in order to fit my budget. Elite color matched the shutters with the exact brand and color of paint. The turnaround on my particular project was 4 weeks and the delivery was right on time. Installation took one afternoon and our home looks outstanding. Money well spent. No problems. Incredibly pleased with their expertise and recommendations for our style of home. Quick and easy.

I used Elite Shutters two years ago when they did every window in my house in Georgia. It was a large job and they looked after every detail. Darrell Dean was a delight to work with! He offered many helpful suggestions and he knew his product line very well. At the end of the day, however, he was sensitive to my desires and worked hard to meet them. I could find no fault with his work.
Their products are first rate. Better quality that anything else I have found. When I sold my house in Georgia, the quality of their work was a real selling point. I have recently moved to Tennessee and my house is being remodeled. Elite Shutters came and installed new shutters for about half of the windows and will return to complete the rest when the contractors are finished. Again, Darrell did an outstanding job with design, construction, and installation. At this point I can't imagine using another company.
I would recommend Darrell Dean and Elite Shutters to anyone. They are absolutely outstanding!

Elite Shutters has done work for us in our home over a period of several years – through multiple renovation phases (currently doing a project for us). The service provided with design through installation has been excellent and continues to serve us well. Most recently we asked Elite Shutters to do a custom job for us in another state and the service provided was excellent. Everything arrived as promised and was installed without difficulty. The peace of mind gained knowing a job will be done properly is invaluable since time is our greatest asset. We are pleased give Elite Shutters our highest recommendation.
