Norman Window Fashions Colorado

Description of Work: I received an estimate for 3.5" plantation shutters and faux-wood blinds (for my upstairs) and had a total of 24 windows done throughout my house. After the estimate, I placed an order and had both sets of items installed.

Description of Work: We just moved into our new home in Centennial, CO. Our windows all have cheap wood blinds. One day while I was away our dog pulled and chewed to pieces all of the blinds in the living room. What a mess! Well, we decided to put up shutters as they are the only window treatments that actually add value to your home. Plus, they have superior energy features. I called in four representatives/designers. The quotes ranged from $1100 to $5000. All of the products were of the same material....a non-wood. For me, price is second to rapport with the designer. If I can't work with someone, forget it. I went with Duratex, which is a dealer for Norman shutters. Duratex/Norman shutters are the representatives for a home improvement store. Since the home improvement store just refers you to Duratex, there is no tax on the product!!! The Duratex "Shutter Specialist," Corby Grant, was excellent. He was very professional, knowledgeable, and skilled at decorating. He took time to look at my house and the style of my decorating. Together, we chose the style and type of shutters. Corby came in with all types of samples. It was easy to make a decision, and I had no buyer's remorse, regrets, or questions wondering if I'd made the right choices. We added 3 shutters in the bay window of our living room and one large shutter in our dining room. We decided to do all the windows on the first floor of the front of the house so the house would look balanced from the street. We also went with the Norman brand shutters because the company has been around for many years and is unlikely to go out of business, so when we want to replace our blinds with the same shutters, we won't have any problems. Also, what also helped with the price: we caught a sale. Apparently, they have sales a couple times/year.
