"Jerry did a beautiful job on our Hurricane shutters. Quick, clean and fast install at a price we were very pleased with and having him come back too for some 2" PVC faux wood blind installations.

"New to the area and needed a handyman. Looked on Angie and got a couple of people to help. I picked Ross and he was quick to answer and schedule a time to come out. Very professional,affordable, meticulous and has a great personality. Told him what I wanted done, he did it. I requested for a few adjustments on a few things and he was ok with it. Overall great job! Will define use him again. Highly recommend 👌"

"We absolutely love the shutters. They are very nice, match the house perfectly, and we are very happy with them. We would highly recommend this company as well."
"John promptly replied to my search for window covering installation and because the job was fairly simple, gave me a quote over the phone. Once my window coverings had arrived John came out the very next day and worked quickly, cleanly and professionally. If I could rate higher than 5 stars, I certainly would A+ service!"
"The windows and doors are wonderful. However the project took longer than promised. I will say, the company does beautiful work with regard to installation and sealing of windows, doors and overall craftsmanship.. I've seen what other companies have done to neighbors houses and the work was sloppy and they actually damaged the house. That wasn't the case here!
I did have a few problems with our sales person Cary. I then I started dealing with Monica, the Operations Director, who got things done right and in a timely fashion..
Actually Cary, the windows which had to be changed at your cost of 1200 were windows that you ordered incorrectly and and were not the windows ordered according to the contract, so yes, I required the correct windows be installed."
"Great experience from the initial appointment for measuring all windows to finalizing and submitting the order to installation and follow up. Professional, experienced, considerate and very pleasant!!"
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
