Could not recommend Phil, Cathy and Charlie enough. From the get go Phil was your down to earth salesman . His experience and knowledge is second to none. The quote was quick and easy, Cathy was amazing with correspondence and so friendly and was helpful with colour choice . Charlie did such an amazing job installing the shutters.
From the first phone call to arrange a quote, spoke to Cathie very friendly and helpful. Phil and Cathie came the next day to measure up for quote. Phil explained everything in regards to how the job would be done. Price was excellent. Job was completed exactly as Phil had said it would be done and on time.
Amazing people to deal with. Prompt and courteous service.
Extremely satisfied with their finished product.
No hesitation in recommending.

Meet Alex Garden, the owner of Sunstopper Blinds Dubbo and the type of bloke who genuinely believes everything is doable. Before running Sunstopper, Alex worked in maintenance before starting his own business offering pest control and handyman services. He’s hands on, practical and has a knack for figuring things out even when they don’t come with instructions.
Alex is a qualified pest management technician, but more than that, he’s the kind of guy who rolls up his sleeves first and talks about it later. Whether it’s building something from scratch or fixing what others have given up on, he’s right at home with tools in his hands and a challenge in front of him.
When he’s not helping customers or running the business, Alex loves spending time with his daughter and getting stuck into projects that let him build, repair or create. If it involves timber, tools or tinkering, he’s in his element.
Alex was born on 8th February, which makes him an Aquarius, the sign known for problem solving, thinking outside the box and refusing to believe that something can’t be done. Which pretty much sums him up perfectly.
G’day! Amy Munday brings warmth, honesty and over 15 years of sales experience to Sunstopper Blinds Dubbo. Before joining the team, she spent more than a decade in automotive parts sales and four years in store management, so she’s no stranger to helping people find exactly what they need. She’s the kind of person who remembers the small details, asks the right questions and makes every customer feel welcome.
Outside the showroom, Amy’s world revolves around her partner and kids. When she’s not with them, you’ll probably find her at the soccer fields either playing, cheering or volunteering on her club’s committee. She’s passionate about community and even more passionate about making sure everyone feels included.
Amy was born on 13th August, right in the heart of Leo season which suits her perfectly because she leads with warmth, loyalty and that easy going confidence everyone loves. Her favourite saying “progress, not perfection” is exactly how she approaches life and work with patience, heart and a smile.
