What our customers have to say about us.

Thank you to Cali Coast Shutters & Shades. We had contracted with another company for a blind in our bathroom but that experience was less than positive.We sought out a new company and found Cali Coast. We had a very positive experience throughout with them as well as the added bonus of paying much less for a better product than we would have received with the original company.

We have had fabulous experiences with Rich and Cali Coast Shutters & Shades! We've now had five shades installed with Rich and it's been an easy process on all occasions. Rich is responsive, attentive, and provides helpful and practical suggestions. Scheduling was a breeze and installation was done promptly. Our shades look gorgeous and work beautifully. The value you receive for custom shades is second to one. We would absolutely recommend Rich for your future shade and shutter needs!

Rich was awesome to work with. Super responsive and had great suggestions for our windows, since we are first time homeowners and didn't really know what to get. He also went the extra mile for us when the shutters on our long windows didn't look quite right, and now they look fantastic! Very happy with Cali Coast and will definitely order from them again if we need any other window coverings
