"Will definately call this Pro again ! He fixed my dryer ordered parts and did pickup for more parts needed very quickly. He is extremely reliable and trustworthy.

"I highly recommend Aaron Austin Custom Shutters and Blinds. Mark is absolutely fantastic. We had custom blinds installed in our new construction home in September and could not be happier. Our products arrived quickly and were ready to be installed as soon as we moved in. Our cost was about half of the other companies I interviewed, and throughout the process, Mark was available to meet with us and answer all our questions, and we were able to add to our order with no delays. We are so happy with the company that we just ordered additional solar shades for our exterior doors. Mark is the sole owner and installer and is part of this community-not a chain or franchise. He takes pride in his business and it shows. He’s a pleasure to work with and you won’t be disappointed"
Marvelous job! Our 11-year-old house was long past due for new paint. Lots of patching was required in all rooms; Chris and Arturo found and repaired areas we hadn't even noticed. This was an arduous task - the ceilings in the living room and foyer are two stories high. The painters arrived promptly every day, behaved professionally, and completed the work in about 4 days. Our house looks far better than it did when new. I only have three wishes:
1) Wish we hadn't waited so long
2) Wish we had painted after fireplace and foyer tile work and new carpet. The painters didn't spill a drop but the tile guy and carpet installers banged up our newly-painted baseboards. We'll gladly hire Chris to touch up the damage.
3) Wish other types of home improvement services were included in his repertoire. He'd have a full-time job at our house!
Keep in mind that this is a small business and Chris is out on the job himself every day. Leave him a message and be patient - he will get back to you - and he is well worth waiting for.
"After a frustrating time of trying to save money by going the Lowe's route, I was fortunate to meet the owner of Express Shutters and Blinds. He was able to come to my home within 24 hours, measure all windows, and quote a full installed price for 23 - 2" wood blinds for my Midtown home. The blinds arrived on time and were installed within 7 or 8 days. The quality of the product is terrific. The installation was easy and the overall cost was less than that of buying through a big box retailer. I have recommended Express Shutters and Blinds to several friends - all of whom have bee thrilled with the product and service."
"I appreciate all the hard work of Victor and Paul. It was so hot outside, but they persevered. My house had not been painted in many (many) years, and needed a lot of work. They replaced so many areas of rotten wood, that I cannot even list them all. Then, of course, they painted our house and shutters. They were positive, professional, and hardworking. My house looks beautiful. "
"They were efficient in terms of the process. They sent the pad in a reasonable time frame. I did have to call a couple times. It took about a month to deliver. They sent the material which was packed nicely. There were 2 issues: 1-the glue or adhesive they used smelled badly. I had to put in my garage for a couple weeks until that 2-every corner was protruded, the table pad corners were too sharp on the mat .which poses risks with small children. I called about that and they said to put some tape over it. The manager called back to discuss the issue was. She suggested that I try to fix. it. The company might have done something to repair if I had followed up."
"They kid they sent out didn't seem to have any idea what he was doing. He stood in the backyard just turning around. He didn't take any measurements, he didn't ask what I wanted done, he just stared. Then he said they'd send someone else out to give me a quote. Well, no one else came. I finally got an estimate via email with no details or information. It just said Fix fence - labor and materials - [price] and screen porch labor and materials [price]. No one asked me for specific information for what I wanted done and the cost to screen the existing porch was insane. You'd think they were going to build the whole dang porch. I didn't respond and hired another company to come out. This company was incredibly unprofessional. I definitely wouldn't recommend them."

Window Shutter Repair questions, answered by experts
The average shutter is designed to last 20 to 25 years. Proper maintenance for the type of shutters you have is essential for helping them reach their full potential.
Estate shutters offer more energy efficiency, privacy, and light control than blinds. They provide better insulation against heat and cold, lowering your energy bills. They’re also sturdy, durable, and last much longer than blinds (up to 50 years or longer). They’re also low-maintenance and can add curb appeal to your home. The return on investment (ROI) for estate shutters is around 75%.
Wood is the most classic shutter material. Common options include pine, cedar, or brasswood. MDF shutters are also a more affordable option that retains the timeless, classic look. Composite shutters, mainly vinyl and aluminum shutters, have also become more popular over the years. You may also find steel shutters, sometimes referred to as security shutters, used on the exterior. Shutters also come in various colors and finishes, adding another layer of design flexibility.
Not all windows are suitable for shutters, as certain styles can prevent them from functioning correctly. It's best to avoid installing shutters on bay windows, picture windows, dormer windows, and double-mulled windows. Shutters are better suited for large, full-size standard windows or French doors.
Additionally, consider the room's lighting needs. Since shutters effectively block light, they are an excellent choice for rooms where you want more darkness and privacy, such as a master bedroom or a main living room. For window types that are not ideal for functional shutters, some homeowners choose to install fixed (non-functional) shutters to maintain a consistent look across the home.
Plantation shutters cost an average of $2,990, making them one of the pricier shutter options. However, they offer a 75% return on your investment and are great options for boosting curb appeal and property value. Most people go for plantation shutters for their timeless, vintage look. They also provide the strongest light blocking and temperature control for your home.
