 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Our family had a fantastic experience with Chris Hutchins with Carolina shutters and Blinds. Chris Hutchins is exceptional! He is incredibly enthusiastic, knowledgeable of not only the products they provide but understands trends, cost, and his competition (which is impressive). When it comes to design, Chris is top notch. He also provided us with detailed information regarding the different types of material to choose the correct shutters for our home. Communication and patience is key and we are very grateful for Chris to hold our hand throughout the process. He’s not only a salesman whom we can contact or refer to our neighbors and friends about but we’ve gained a friend. Positive, Honest, Respectful, and goes above and beyond! Thank you Chris, installers and Carolina Shutters and Blind for everything. Our shutters came out beautifully!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Carolina Shutter & Blinds recently replaced all the blinds in all the rooms in my house that have windows (2 bedrooms, kitchen, one bathroom, garage, LR etc.) and installed shutters on my west-facing front bedroom/home office, which will help block the sun in the summer. Initially I made email inquiries with 3 companies about my needs and Carolina was the first company to reply and schedule a visit to my home. I was very satisfied with their quick response and their proposal. My sales rep, Chris, did a great job measuring the windows and offering me different options and suggestions. The price was reasonable and I didn't feel the need to get other estimates.  The installation process was equally good (Polo and his colleague worked efficiently and did excellent work).  Overall I was happy with my experience and I highly recommend the company.
