I got Golden Blinds to do all my shutters, roller blinds, verticals and plantation shutters. We didnt take the option of motorised operation though, hubby didnt like the changing batteries. Though i think solar was also an option instead of batteries. I just went through a stack of old posts in your thread and realised you answered this same question a few times already - apologies for making you repeat yourself! Can I ask how much all of your window coverings cost in total? Re: Balmoral 34 MKI Majestic Facade (Syd) - Handover 16.11.1 754Aug 28, 2017 6:47 pm VictoriaEve CalvinHobbes VictoriaEve CH your home is looking great! I'm so jealous...we just got told the original estimated handover month of December just got pushed to May! Thanks and am very sorry to hear about the May date. Hope things arent as bad as what I've been reading in the other threads, though personally the delays now are more signficant than last year. I really wish for you giys not to go through what we've gone through. Anyway, do post your progress as it's still interesting to see what's going on with the same type of project build. Hey CH...how bad were other people's delays? Our handover month started at December....then got pushed to May...then July....they August...now we're looking at October! Hubby and I are absolutely livid... Our estimated handover was initially July and 4 mos down the track we did the hand over in November. I think the delays were averaging 6mos after us, so judging from yours it's gotten worse. You guys are pretty much handling it with grace - I'd honestly say, i would have had multiple melt down already considering the other horrifying things i've been following in other threads. I wish you and the others the best, still, be steadfast so none of your time is waisted further.

Can I ask how much all of your window coverings cost in total? About 22k That's pretty good! Some of our quotes came in higher than that and our quotes were for rollers/curtains for the family, dining, stacker doors, front lounge and master bedroom instead of shutters. May have to give Golden Blinds a call tomorrow for a measure and quote. How are your western facing shutters going? Are they fading? I know you got your windows tinted but was just wondering how your shutters are faring. Balmoral 34 MKI Majestic Facade (Syd) - Handover 16.11.15 758Aug 28, 2017 7:51 pm No problem with fading so far. I got quotes from 2 other, Golden Blinds came in the middle price range. Went with him coz he's a personal friend of mine, and guaranteed the job for a lifetime - LOL. Seriously speaking, i couldnt part with my 22k without knowing who I'm dealing with. So less risk for me to use his company than getting the cheapest quote with a 7k difference. Very happy with the materials, service and quality. A few of my friends who got their shutters and blinds were very satisfied so far.

I hear you - I'm concerned about handing over so much money, especially smaller companies that might go bust. But Golden Blinds sounds good - can I ask what your friend's name is - perhaps I can give him a call and say you recommended him to me. Gee you should get a cut!

I'll be happy if you end up getting what you want in his business. Dear Members I have to decide the Facade column size. My custom builder standard is 350mm with rendering, but i asked for 470mm plus stone or tiles and yet to get… 0 7493 traditional gable roof facade - Have you did the dark and light gray color combination in facade with gray stone in facade… 0 4203 Looking to tile the facade pillars rather than rendering. Builder is quoting 2500$ laying cost for upto 10msq. The 2 pillars come to be 16msq. So laying costs are 5000$… 0 7524 |
