The Classic Blinds & Shutters Design Center Story
Owners Sean and Andrea Zare met while working together for a window covering business in 1996. The culmination of their experience in this industry and seeing the needs of a community seeking a personalized experience and superb customer service not being filled, they made the decision to open their own business.
Thus began Classic Blinds & Shutters Design Center, founded in 1996. Classic Blinds & Shutters Design Center began as a “Shop at Home” business and grew incredibly successful. Finally, in 2009, with over a decade of experience running their own enterprise, Sean and Andrea opened a brick-and-mortar storefront to formally showcase Hunter Douglas products to the public. They added experienced salespeople and installers to their team; the rest is history!

We love our shutters. All aspects of doing business with you was excellent. From the estimate through the installation, we were 100% satisfied. A little pricey, but the quality of product and professionalism of installation made it worthwhile.
