"Alex from Three County Hurricane Shutters is wonderful. Arrived on time. Very professional and pleasant. He really knows shutters. We will definitely utilize his services in the future. We recommend him highly!"
"The salesperson was informative, but not high pressure. Installation went smoothly. A team came to the house in the early morning. They took out the old windows/door and accordion shutters and replaced them with 11 windows and one large sliding door. They were fast and efficient and were done by late afternoon. We were very happy with the quality of the product."
"Four different companies submitted proposals to install my hurricane shutters. All of them seemed good but Guardian was clearly the best. I feel it is one of the finest companies I have ever dealt with. Andy, the owner, is a trained engineer and made excellent suggestions that no one else thought of, saving me from making a number of serious errors. Guardian manufactures excellent shutters, installs them perfectly, and provides reliable maintenance services. They refuse to accept any payment until the work is inspected and approved. Guardian is a pleasure to deal with!"
"I hired Bulldoh Shutters to install decorative shutters, as accent esthetics to several previously installed impact windows on my recently painted home in Davie. J.C. and his son Brian were timely, professional and courteous throughout the entire process. Excellent workmanship, at a more than fair price! I highly recommend their company to anyone foe any project, big or small like my own!"
"We did receive serval quotes and found this to be the best. This was our first time having to get our association approval to add shutters, they took a long time. But once the approval was received our shutters were up in approximately 4-5 weeks. They did an excellent job. If I ever had any questions they were immediately answered. I highly recommend them."
"The One Stop Interiors crew did an excellent job with our vertical blinds, were very timely and provided the service at a reasonable price. The initial representative had excellent choices and samples of the vertical blinds as well as other choices of materials. The Representative quickly measured the 18 window and doors and provide us with a written quote. The blinds were produced in about 2 weeks and installed the right away. There was some mino coordination confusion regarding the labeling of the blinds as to which blind went in which window. The issue was resolve quickly and a blind that did not fit was corrected in a couple of days. The crew was very intent on making us pleased with the finish product. They did a great job and the blinds look and work great."
"I am extremely happy with every part of the experience with the Louver Shop. The salesman was prompt, courteous and very informative. The installer, Joe, was meticulous, very neat and clean with the installation. The plantation shutters are beautiful and I will definitely purchase more for the windows on the back of my house in the near future. The price was r=very reasonable. I am happy to highly recommend The Louver Shop"
"So glad I hired the right company. Thank you to Peter for the great service. We ordered custom blinds and he was so helpful in helping us understand what we wanted. They came out perfect and were done in no time. Couldnâ t have found a better company."
"Extremely happy with my new blinds. Professionals from day one . I highly recommend them to anyone interested in quality and service second to none ! Thank you !!"

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.
Shutters are still very common in Southern, farmhouse, and traditional-style homes, especially those in warm climates who can benefit from the increased efficiency. While modern homes and designs tend to shy away from shutters, shutters are a timeless design style that will likely be around for decades to come.
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%.
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.
