I have checked here and they say they have a rep in Ocala, but showrooms are in Orlando or Tampa.
Just wondering if anyone has their product and how it compares to the others which are well represented in TV.

I had Sunburst the last two homes we owned up North and LOVED them. I did not do the research you did here to find them.... had I known they were available in Ocala or Orlando, I would have ordered them in a heartbeat!
I looked around extensively here for an equivalent, but frankly, didn't find one.
We did buy shutters- a name brand purchased though:
Window Reflections-Roxanne Stafford
103 N. Main- Wildwood
(352) 330-2055
They are not the quality of Sunburst- but not as expensive either. The material they are made from is very close, if not the same. They are not as sturdy, however and not as precision built. The frame enclosure (around the windows) is not as wide.... but for the price point, they are acceptable. We get many compliments on the look.
I could not match the quality of construction of Sunburst without going to a wood product- which I did not want.
I mentioned one thing in an older thread that I will add again here. If you want the bottom of the window casing to have trim (like Sunburst) you may have to change out or saw down the cultured marble sill our windows here have.... to accommodate a bottom trim piece. That piece is not typically included.
I did not know that until they installed them (!) - and to my eye, it is not as custom a look as it should be.
Unless Sunburst has changed radically, if you can get them Dotti, I'd jump all over that- even if it means a trip to Orlando!
