Taylor & Stirling (Ballarat)
Dillon and Robyn keep showing up by name for sharp installs and honest advice.
The pattern that stands out is the same two names repeating: Robyn for the upfront consult and Dillon for the install. Customers say Dillon turns up on time, works fast, and gets the alignment right on shutters, curtains and blinds. The recent half of the sample dips to 3.6 stars from a perfect 5 in the earlier half, so the experience isn't uniform. Two reviewers ran into long waits and poor follow-up after ordering, mainly around delayed installation and difficulty getting responses. For a straightforward measure and install with the core team, the reviews suggest you'll be well looked after. If your job involves long lead times or complex parts, ask for a clear timeline and a named contact before you pay a deposit.

About Taylor & Stirling (Ballarat)
Robyn handles the initial consult and measure, and multiple reviews say she actually listens before suggesting options. Dillon is the installer customers keep naming for being prompt, fast and fussy about alignment. Maree and Roger step in for trickier repairs, like fixing the track on cedar vertical venetians in a B&B. They do more than just new curtains and blinds. External shutters, motorised honeycomb block-outs, awnings and retrofitting automation modules onto existing shutters all show up in reviews. Plantation shutters throughout a whole house went in within one day when Dillon installed them. The reviews suggest they explain alternatives clearly at the start, like colour and style choices, rather than just quoting on the obvious option. For repairs and odd jobs other places might decline, some customers say Taylor & Stirling agreed to help when others wouldn't. Best suited to homeowners who want the same small team from measure to install, not a rotating roster.
Best for: full-house plantation shutter installs, repairs to existing tracks and blinds, and adding motorisation to shutters or custom windows.
