As well as direct guidance from the Leeds Grenville Public Health Unit.

We have separated our measures to cover the three separate manners in which we engage our clientele. In store retail consultations, in home consultations, and installations.

Decor Centre is Open to the Public

Our Decor Centre at 2678 County Road 43 in Kemptville is now open to the public with limits on capacity, in accordance with the regulations currently governing businesses in Ontario. We are also offering  Delivery. 

In Home Consultations go Virtual

We are now offering our initial visit as a virtual consultation. Via your favourite video messaging platform we meet virtually with clients to get a good sense of their project. We have these meetings from our design studio, which allows us to show more options and examples than when we start with a home visit. Once we have a good idea of what to bring, and have narrowed down the options, we book an in home visit. You still get a chance to see and feel the samples directly, we just minimize the amount of time that we may be face to face. This way we are still able to provide great service, while maintaining a minimum of risk. More on virtual consultations below. 

Installation

We are back to regular installation visits. All staff are double vaxxed and take reasonable precautions such as mask wearing to ensure our visits are as safe as possible. 

  • Staff are to closely monitor any potential symptoms and will report as such any concerns. Daily temperature checks are in place. We will have a strict Isolation protocol if any symptoms present themselves out of an abundance of caution.
  • Clients need to attest that they are not under isolation protocols in their homes at the time of installation or measurements.
  • PPE is available including hand sanitizer, masks, etc.
  • Separate vehicles, tools and equipment, with vehicles being regularly cleaned.
  • Customers are asked to leave the premises for the duration of the installation when possible, in order to guarantee that no unnecessary contact is made. It could be a drive around the block, a couple of hours on the deck, etc. The installation can be monitored by clients via their online device or security systems while in progress.
  • Product can be unboxed off premises and wherever possible we will restrict the footprint of the installation process to the immediate area.
  • Further precautions will be made upon the advice of the authorities.
  • We appreciate the patience and understanding of our clients during this unprecedented time period.

Virtual Consultations

We are now offering Virtual Consultations to our clients from the Stevens Creek Shutter Company Design Studio. Virtual Consultations start with an online visit to your space via smart phone or tablet video messaging applications such as Facetime, Skype or Zoom.

How do these Consultations Work?

Step 1 – We schedule an appointment, and decide on which video platform would work best for you

Step 2 – We walk through your project window by window and answer some questions about what you are looking for in regards to functional window treatments for your project.

Step 3- We consult with you about ideas that you like for your windows. We help you to take some basic measurements required to proceed with quoting your project.

Step 4 – We create a design just for you. We likely schedule a second meeting at this step where we provide you with a quotation on your project, as well as some illustrations to help visualize the end results.

Step 5 – You are ready to roll with the project, we come out under the installation protocols listed above and take professional measurements. We can also leave samples of your choices at this time for final approvals.

Maxxmar Shutters

Went over to a friend’s the other night, and was delighted to see how well these Maxxmar Shutters look a year after installation.

Maxxmar Shutters

Robin’s Living Room Shutters

When the treatment was installed we were looking for an elegant solution, one that would compliment their treasures collected from postings around the world. Functionally the shutter works well, as the window faces the street side of the house. With the minimal divider rail of the Maxxmar Shutters we are able to get light into the room by opening the top louvers. With the top louvers open we can maintain privacy with the bottom louvers. The center rail is a consistent 2 ” in all heights of Maxxmar shutters, it’s a great feature of this product line. Can you pick it out in the picture? The material is Maxxmar’s exclusive PolySilk compound in the Summerview line. It  is showing no signs of age or yellowing despite being fully exposed to heavy sunlight for much of the day. This isn’t a surprise of course because the shutters are warrantied against such defects for 25 years. Shutters were a great choice for this window because they also help to insulate the rooms from the heavy UV exposure, have protected the hardwood floors and textiles in the room while cutting down traffic noise from the street.

SOME FAQs About Maxxmar Shutters
