Amazing service and great explanation to the other products including competitors in the market. This gave me the confidence to go ahead with their product. Installer was fantastic and the product is excellent. It changed the look of our lounge. Show details
I have had Modern Plantation Shutters installed in my whole house for 9 years. The product itself has performed well, but the customer service is appalling. I had a very simple issue escalated just after installation and it was made into an issue over nothing. I was going to extend my purchase further, but decided not to and went elsewhere.

forward to recently, and the small pins that hold the shutters in place started to fail and shutter blades fell down inside the back of the doors. I contacted Modern just to get more of these pins, and even after all these years their customer service was even worse. This extremely small issue went on and on for weeks with Modern obfuscating on an industrial level! Ultimately, the switchboard operator had to take the initiative to just send me a sample pin, and I went elsewhere so I wouldn’t have to deal with them further. Just these two examples of my experience with Modern identifies a firm who may have a great product, but their interaction and service falls far, far short of their product. My son went elsewhere to get his house done. Moderns customer service is just appalling from my experience.
We recently had plantation shutters installed by Modern Group and couldn’t be happier with the result. This is now our third project with them, having previously completed a roof renovation and additional shutter installation, and once again the experience was excellent. They were definitely more expensive than some of the other options we looked… Read more
at, but the quality absolutely justifies the price. The shutters feel solid and well built, not flimsy like cheaper alternatives. The finish is excellent and really lifts the look of the home.
The installation was professional, precise, and completed to a very high standard. From start to finish, the team at Modern Group were knowledgeable, helpful, and easy to deal with throughout the entire process.
Overall, a premium product backed by premium service, and well worth the investment.

We are amazed at how much our doors have changed our small apartment. We love them. From the initial booking to the delivery and fitting the service has been wonderful. We could not have asked for anything more and they were fitted within the allocated timeframe. Can’t recommend the product and the team highly enough. Thanks Modern. Show details · 1
Having had another Company install Shutters earlier in the year, which took forever to arrive with part of the order wrong, to have to wait a further 3 months, I was thrilled with the service of Modern. Not only was the turnaround time amazing but the quality of the shutters better. Highly recommend for quality and turnaround times. Show details · 1

Just wanted to say the service and the time to explain the plantation shutter process and what to expect was excellent. We really appreciated the openness on what to expect when we decided to do the sliding plantation doors and how much space it could take. Doug who did the proper measure and install was excellent as he took care installing them… Read more · 1

We had Modern to install our shutters in our new home and we couldn’t be happier as the service was outstanding. Prompt service for a quote and measurements. Was well informed with how the shutters was made installation information and costing was all covered. Service for quote and installation was provided very professionally and they were friendly on all three occasions. Show details · 1

Sales person was persuasive; unfortunately, after the sales was completed, calls and messages to the sales person were not returned. Had to reply on the admin staff to follow up and the support was great. Kudos to the admin team! Three shutters… Read more · 1
were installed. One of the shutters came in the wrong dimension (despite the installer having come out to make the measurements and submitted it). Fortunately, the installer was experienced enough to re-cut and re-attach everything on the spot to the correct dimensions for installation. Kudos to the installed team. Perhaps some internal co-ordination needs to be improved. Overall satisfied with the installation and the product.
Follow-up · Don't exactly know what the materials are called. But it's the same standard material used for shutters. Shutters performing well. Re-cutting has no impact to the performance.
Updated blinds to plantation shutters. Absolutely beautiful to look at. So happy with the service from start to finish. Byron was amazing and professional. Thank you. Show details · 1
Follow-up · Still in love with my shutters!
We had a roller shutter installed for protection during storm season and from the westerly setting sun, to keep the house cooler. The onsite quote, adminstration, measure & installion was professional all the way through the process. The installion looks great. Very satified. Thank you Modern Show details · 1
Follow-up · Since the roller shutter for the front door was installed, we have noticed a dramatic difference in the entrance. the temperature has decreased at least 5deg and the glaring sun in the afternoon is gone. Should have done it years ago.

I am a returning customer, as we had roller shutters installed in our previous home. I love the shutters, as no light or noise make through, ensuring a better night sleep. Show details · 1
The sales guy was running late by 20-25 mins. This was after the appointment was changed by the office to an early time. He did not ring to say that he was running late, nor did he apologize for the late arrival. The installer does great work and asks all the good questions. Very professional with his work and attitude. Great customer service. Show details · 1
Quick service . When gaining information for my first order, the sales rep provided a extensive informative overview of their products. She gave us several options , measured and quoted in 30 minutes. The shutters were measured and delivered and installed as described by rep. I love the quality, price and look of my shutters and will purchase again. Show reply

Cr#p service. The installer broke something and didn’t even say anything just left it broken on the bench. Then the blinds were scratched. The second one wasn’t until it was installed. Then modern emailed me to ask me for a review then immediately called me to ask for a review. When I told them about what happened they just said to email some… Read more
photos though which I did. Then heard nothing. Emailed to ask if they received it they said yes but still didn’t hear anything. Then emailed them again weeks later to tell them I was very unhappy and still nothing. The guy that quoted also told a nonsense sorry about giving them to us cheaper if we agreed to put their sign up out the front and called the boss to ok it. Haven’t heard anything about a sign being putting up because it was all nonsense. Ps check Reddit before you buy from this company. Just like I should have.
Only one year warranty on their roller shutters so they don't believe in their products too well. Motor on shutters stopped working after a year. They want to charge a $150 for a call out fee then $50 to just look at each additional window which I have 5. Before they even offer to give a quote to fix it! Poor quality. Terrible staff, can't even return your call you have to chase them up. Not impressed. Show details
In short, do not trust modern group they will rip you off! I wanted to purchase new plantation shutters for my house in December 2024. They sent over a sales rep named Tiah. She gave me an absurd quote of $10,000 for 4 windows to have plantation shutters. She then made numerous phone calls to her "boss" and the price kept coming down. It was… Read more
brought down to around $6000. When I read reviews later, this is a common tactic she uses! I had to sign then and there and pay a $400 non refundable deposit to secure the price. She could see I was uncomfortable but kept pushing. I regrettably signed and paid the non refundable deposit. After she left my house i felt very uncomfortable. I looked up her phone number, it is associated with a whole company which was odd. I found a different local company who gave me a quote of less than $4000 for an additional 2 blinds, so 6 in total. I contacted modern to pull out of the contract and suddenly they were able to almost match the price of the other company. The sales tactics were disgusting. Ultimately, I decided to forfeight the deposit as I felt incredibly uncomfortable with this companies sales tactics. Never trust modern for your blinds! Absolutely deplorable tactics were used. I have waited to write this review to ensure the blinds i purchased from the other company were of good quality and they are!

Very happy with my new Plantation Shutters. This is the second home that I have had them installed. The quality of their product is second to none otherwise I wouldn't have had them installed again. Turn around time from quote to measure to install was only 4 weeks. Byron did an amazing job on the installation - always explaining. Highly recommend. Show details · 1
I was very happy when I received the call earlier than expected saying my shutters were ready to install. The installer was very nice and professional. Once finished, I could not believe the transformation of the room. It made it look so much bigger and brighter.
