Valancing Act

Valancing Act is a very professional local based company! The owners have a very
wide selection of materials and creative solutions and will spend the time and energy to
make the final work product beyond one’s expectations.
Our new home is in downtown San Luis Obispo, and we desired
modern shade window pulls and custom valances of metal and
fabrics. Valancing Act performed the work quickly, professionally, and
with high grade materials, at prices that were very competitive compared to traditional
big box competitors.
I would not hesitate to talk and work with the owners. They simply go the
extra mile to make sure the customer comes first.

A+ in every way. We had Valancing Act create window coverings for practically every room in our home. We got plantation shutters for our kids’ rooms, roman shades in the kitchen and dining room, and custom draperies for the family room, office, and master bedroom. Every single purchase has been of the absolute highest quality and delivered right on time. I have received tons of compliments in particular on my family room drapes, which Joni helped me design in a way I never would have considered without her input. Joni and Bryan are the ultimate professionals, and nice people to boot. They respect your time (ie, they arrive when they say they will… which seems to be rare with contractors these days), provide great advice in terms of what will be most workable in a given room, and they deliver a superb finished product. On the occasions when we had any issue, they addressed it immediately and to our total satisfaction (eg, shutters that didn’t close effectively in one room — due to a manufacturing problem — were replaced after Bryan contacted the manufacturer). The 1-​star review from 2012 is unfortunate because quality window coverings can have a high cost, depending on what you choose. But we shopped around and actually found Valancing Act to be more reasonable compared with other quotes in the area. I recommend them 100%. We are very, very happy with all of their work.

I had a wonderful experience with the Joni and Bryan from the Valancing Act!!! I had met with a few different companies to to have my draperies done as well as the rods and hardware before choosing the Valancing Act. I have expensive taste and am on a tight budget so I was very pleased when I received the quote for the hardware and draperies from the Valancing Act. They are very competitive and do quality work! Joni and Bryan went out of their way to help me get my job done at a price I could afford and a result I love!!! They came and measured as well as troubleshot some odd windows I have with some design ideas and then came back out for installation. I did three bedrooms with custom drapery and rods first and then went back to them for some decorative curtains recently in our pub. I can’t wait to use them for my living room! They are awesome and I highly recommend them!!!

Balancing Act installed beautiful shades in our modern home and they fit, function and look terrific. Great service, great product, top quality. Highly recommended!

We have a modern home with 8×10′ windows requiring massive mechanized shades. Valancing Act gave us all the options, measured things perfectly and installed several of these shades that operated flawlessly from day one to the present moment 13 years later. It does not get any better.

We are very happy with the products, design and customer service we experienced at Valancing Act. Their professional advice and recommendations were right on. They made customizing our new home a pleasure.
