Totally recommend Gold Coast Blinds and Shutters. Craig came out and gave us a quote to do repairs on our balcony shutters. From the initial phone call we have found Craig and Vicki more than helpful. Craigs advice on how the shutters work and tips on maintaining them were brilliant. Craig also did a little extra for us which was much appreciated. Thanks so much Vicki and Craig.

I can not recommend Gold Coast Blinds & Shutters enough. Michael visited our place to discuss curtain and shutter options. He worked with us to create an incredible design that added to the look and feel of our rooms. His recommendations were honest and professional, based on the best choices and solutions for each room. He was very polite, helpful, and professional. The quoted price was very competitive and below competitors' quotes. And this was the full price with no hidden extras. The quality of the materials, curtains, and blinds is exceptional. Finally, Brian from the installation team was amazing. He worked diligently to ensure everything was installed with precision and met our exact requirements. Throughout the entire day of work, he was courteous, friendly, and professional. And most impressively, at the conclusion of his work he left the rooms as clean they were at the start of the day. Our experience with Gold Coast Blinds & Shutters was above and beyond expectations. Excellent quality, great pricing, and wonderful staff!!

THANK YOU GC Blinds and Shutters!!! My Australian made shutters look AMAZING in my Master Bedroom. I highly recommend these guys. From the initial measure and quote which was so easy to book online I have been looked after. The girls in the office were a delight to deal with and my installer was punctual, polite and friendly and cleaned up after himself. I couldn’t be happier with the whole process and will get you back for the rest of my house when the budget allows.

We have just paid a deposit on Outdoor Roller Blinds. We had quotes from several companies on same and similar products. Our decision was definitely influenced by the professional service we received from Trevor. Every question we had was clearly answered in a factual way. He never rubbished alternative products, however, he made sure I had all facts so that I could complete my own research to confirm my decision. He came prepared with samples of everything, and his quote was the most detailed. I now look forward to my new blinds. UPDATE: Our blinds have just been installed and the team were fantastic! They were careful and meticulous in everything they did. Area was swept and vacuumed at the end. Professional from start to finish. Even the communication from quoting, manufacturing updates, and payment processing has been seamless. Cannot recommend highly enough 👌

Thoroughly happy with service, products and the whole process from ALL staff. I had internal PVC (Australian made) shutters and an external motorised blind installed.

Our experience with GCB&S was of high standard from start to finish. The initial quote request was simple and clear (we were quoted by several companies and the experience in such a simple process varied quite substantially between companies) and the on-site measure was a seamless experience. Once we had confirmed the product was most suited to us (half the price of the "major" brands) we paid the deposit and had clear communication throughout the entire process up until installation. The installation crew were efficient and tidy, we are incredibly happy with our new outdoor blinds and would recommend the team to anybody interested. (The installation crew turned up a bit early which is unheard of for tradies so no ratings deduction for that)
