What customers say

Based on genuine customer reviews

Recurring satisfaction with the finished product and the experience of buying from a local, family-run firm runs through the feedback. Many accounts highlight how professional the process felt, with the people involved listening closely and giving practical guidance on which blind suited a particular room. Stewart, Elisha and Steve are singled out for their friendly, knowledgeable and thorough manner, while communication around measuring, quoting and later correspondence is repeatedly described as clear and prompt. Installations are reported as efficient, with trades arriving at the agreed time, and long-term durability is a theme, since blinds fitted years earlier are still admired.

Customers appreciate that the products are made locally and that the operation is family owned, and they remark on the breadth of choice, from fully light-blocking roller styles to a bespoke motorised arrangement for a very tall window. Tidiness and careful workmanship come up again and again, as does the impression that recommendations are matched to the space rather than generic. Whole-house roller blind jobs and office installations feature among the work described, with the outcome in each instance generating particular pleasure.

We recently had new blinds installed at our office, and we couldn’t be happier with the result. Stewart, Elisha and the team provided an excellent service from start to finish — they listened to our needs, offered helpful advice, and delivered products perfectly tailored to our space. It’s great knowing our blinds are locally made and that we’re backing a business that truly values its customers. Highly recommend to anyone looking for great products and friendly, reliable service. Thank you! Collins SBA Team.

A Masterpiece in Blinds – Transforming Our Cathedral Window! I can't recommend Max Coombes & Son Blinds Hobart enough for their exceptional service and craftsmanship. With over 55 years of expertise, they truly stand out as blinds specialists. They installed blinds throughout my home, including an impressive, custom solution for a tall CATHEDRAL WINDOW with four individualised motorised roller blinds. I’d been searching for a way to ensure privacy for that unique window for over six months in 2022. Despite contacting almost every blinds or curtain shop in the area, no one was willing to attempt anything beyond standard designs—until I found Max Coombes & Son. Max Coombes was the only business willing to take on this innovative project in Tasmania, and they delivered outstanding results. Their solution has stood the test of time—two years on, the blinds still operate seamlessly with a battery-powered motor that I only need to charge twice or three times a year. This long-term reliability speaks volumes about the quality and durability of their work. As a proud Tasmanian, I’m thrilled to support this locally owned family business. Their approach, especially Elisha's friendly, professional, and customer-focused service, sets them apart. Not only did they offer the best price in town, but they also provided a quick turnaround time. Whether you're after blackout (zero light tolerance) honeycomb blinds, roller blinds, or even custom solutions for cathedral windows and safety doors, I highly recommend giving Max Coombes & Son Blinds a call. As a genuine customer who entrusted them with all our blinds, I can confirm they delivered perfection.

I recently had roller blinds installed throughout the whole house. The team at Max Coombes and Son were amazing to deal with. Arrived on time on the day of measuring, efficient with sending out the quote and any further emails etc. Extremely happy with the customer service and outcome of our new blinds.

The only high quality blinds in Hobart with an affordable price (I challenge) While renovating our newly bought house, blinds were essential to replace. I took quotes from all major blind/curtain shops however Max Coombes & Son was the only company who offered 100% light proof blinds within the affordable price. There quality of workmanship is absolutely stunning and the blind quality is 1st class. We highly recommend them for thier high quality products and workmanship in the industry without any compromise. Elisha is is the key personnel of Max Coombes and she is amazing and one of a kind. Give her a ring and get your quotes. Moh (Jeannette Ct)

I always try to support local businesses if I can and I am so glad I did with Max Coombes etc. Family owned and operated with top quality service and products of which there are a large variety. The owners and staff are friendly, knowledgeable, professional and thorough. Why would you shop anywhere else. 5 out of 5.
