"They did a great job on the windows they completed (95%) but two windows on the back of the house were missed. When I called Kristin to mention this she said they would take a look when they were "in my area" again. Still waiting to hear from them. No issues with the quality or workmanship of the screens they installed -- they look great. They came out yesterday and installed the final two screens (on one of the hottest days of the year). I appreciate that they finished the job. "
"We had our screen installed in 2 phases. In both occasions the owner Carl came out to personally measure all of our openings. Installation was within the prescribed time-frame and screens look great! We don't have any more windows/doors to screen but would recommend him to friends/family in the future. "
"The quote included a time frame of when they would be ready. They met the due date and were ahead of schedule. We were called for a day that was good for us and they did not give a long window of time, they were there when they said they would be there. The installers were polite, clean, and courteous of my floor and walls. They vacuumed my carpet when they were done. They left the house looking absolutely stunning. They were in and out without a hitch and really made our home look terrific. I would have them come back and do more, but they did it all! So now all I can do is recommend them to others.

"initially one of the awnings was too large, covered 2/3rds of the window. They re-ordered the awning to the correct size. They now look great. Thank you!"
"I highly recommend Sunscape Windows & Doors. They have done two of my houses. I have also had quite a few friends come check out the windows once they were installed and they saw the quality and appearance and these windows installed at their own homes."
"Dany and his crew were a pleasure to work with! They were prompt, professional, and did a fantastic job with the painting. I was a trim carpenter for many years (and did my own trim work on this job). I have worked with many painters over the past 15 years. Dany's crew is among the best. I would not hesitate to recommend Dany for any job. They make sure that everything is done to your specifications. They were also willing to work around my schedule to ensure the painting was done before our new carpet was installed. Their work on painting our plantation shutters was excellent. They look brand new. Dany and his crew made sure that we were satisfied with every detail before they left. I'll use them again when I need painting."
"Called A-1 Advantage on Sunday because our garage door spring broke and we could not open the garage. I was given a 2 hour window of when to expect some to arrive. They arrived early with the window, examined the problem. Recommendations were made on the work that needed to be done with pricing. Work was completed within an hour. The garage door and opener were adjusted and tested. Technician was very professional, friendly, and didn't try to sell items that were not needed. I thought the pricing was very fair. I had expected to pay $300-350 just for the springs, based on information I had found on Angie's List. I am very pleased with the whole experience with A-1 Advantage Garage Door Service. "

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.
The most popular estate shutter brands include Hunter Douglas, Budget Blinds®, and Graber®. Hunter Douglas shutters cost $20 to $26 per square foot and include high-quality hardwood and faux wood options. Budget Blinds shutters cost $20 to $24 per square foot, depending on if you choose natural wood or another material. Depending on the material, Graber shutters range from $18 to $24 per square foot.
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%.
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.
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.
