Client feedback

What our clients say about Custom Blinds

Twenty years of installation experience across the Garden Route. The feedback below came to us the way it always has: a message after the job, a call the following week, a note passed on through a friend. We have kept every word exactly as it was written.

The feedback that matters most

Our clients are experienced homeowners, business owners, and property managers who have chosen to live and work on the Garden Route. Most of them do not spend much time on review platforms, and we respect that. What we do receive comes directly: a message after the job is done, a call the following week to say the blinds look better than expected, a referral to a neighbour with a similar problem to solve.

Where clients have shared feedback on Google, we have linked to that record below. Where they sent it directly to us, we have published it here exactly as written. Neither set has been edited for grammar, length, or presentation. That is the point. For context on why an independent specialist earns this kind of loyalty, read independent vs franchise.

A note on how our clients work. Many of our Garden Route clients are not regular users of Google reviews or social platforms, and we do not chase them for ratings. The feedback on this page came voluntarily, in the way people here have always communicated: directly, personally, and without prompting. We think that says more than a high review count ever could.

“I cannot recommend Custom Blinds, Awnings and Shutters highly enough. From start to finish, the service I received was exceptional. Unfortunately, the courier damaged one of my blinds during delivery. However, Jane and Duncan handled the situation with professionalism, kindness, and genuine care. They arranged for a replacement immediately, at no additional cost, making what could have been a stressful experience completely hassle-free. What impressed me even more was their generosity. Although the damaged blind was bent, it was still perfectly usable. Instead of taking it back, they asked that it be donated to someone who could benefit from it. That level of integrity and community spirit is truly refreshing. Jane was a pleasure to deal with throughout the entire process. She was always friendly, professional, incredibly helpful, and quick to respond to any queries, making communication seamless from beginning to end. Outstanding customer service like this is hard to find. I am extremely happy with both the quality of the blinds and the after-sales support I received. I will definitely be recommending Custom Blinds, Awnings and Shutters to my family and friends. Thank you, Jane and Duncan, for going above and beyond!”

“Incredible custom fitted blinds - initially the fit was just a little too large but Jane & Duncan were quick to assist in organizing a collection, resizing the blinds and shipping them back to me within one week. I would highly recommend.”

Anthony Omwansa, 8 July 2026
★★★★★

“Highly recommend Duncan and his team. The product is top quality and levels of service excellent. Duncan is super responsive and delivered exactly as he committed to do. One of the marks of a well run company is when they will not expose their staff to HS&E risks - Duncan ensured no exposure for staff during the Western Cape storms. I trust this company. Thanks Duncan and team.”

“As a family we have used Duncan and Custom Blinds many times through the years. The first time was at our home in Brenton on Sea where they installed from vertical blinds to shutters and double rollers. We are now in Amble Ridge Village and have the automated roller blinds that they installed. I just wanted to leave a note to thank Duncan and his team for all the years of service. Duncan's product knowledge and attention to detail are superb.”

“I had a fantastic experience dealing with Jane and the team from Custom Blinds. I ordered online and was immediately contacted by Jane to confirm my measurements. She kept me well informed on order progress and delivery tracking, and was available for any questions that I had. The blinds are amazing - great quality and exactly as ordered. We've since placed a second order after being so impressed with the service and quality. Can highly recommend Custom Blinds.”

“I contact Custom Blinds via WhatsApp on a Sunday. Got almost immediate response, received and confirmed my invoice within an hour ( on a Sunday..via WhatsApp). Received my zebra blind within 4 days and it was perfect. I was impressed with the quality as well. I do not think I have ever received such astounding service before, in any sector. Thank you Jane, Duncan and team!👌🏻👌🏻”

“Recent changed over from another service provider, WOW, Custom Blinds really impressed! From ordering on their website, sending samples to me via courier, even 500km apart did not stop them from delivering exceptional client service! I ordered both the 25mm and 50mm aluminium blinds, both at exceptional quality and super easy to install! Thanks so much for making this a paint free experience and being there for me to have home in top shape in record time. You are the best!”
