"I Would Highly Reccomend"

Building a new home brings all types of challenges but meeting Chad Connie and Scott of A Shade Above made the experience of choosing shutters and shades a real breeze. Friendly and helpful does not begin to describe our experience with these professionals. I would highly recommend A Shade Above.

I've exclusively used ASA for window coverings since my house was completed in 2017. ASA has a great selection of high quality window coverings. Angela knows her product lines, has good fashion sense and provides great customer service. ASA's installers are professional and have never made any mis-measurements or other mistakes on any of my jobs. Highly recommend.
