"Great quote in comparison with others. Took about a 6-8 weeks for custom shutters to arrive. Waiting for a couple of things to still be cleaned up but expecting that to happen sometime in the next week."
"Corey Martin, the owner, came the day after I contacted him. He built and replaced the window screen on my condo office. The original screen was destroyed by an unsuccessful robber, so I was glad to have it replaced."
"We needed to have the some of our window balancers replaced. Adam was the first to contact us immediatly, everyone else was a day late. He knew exactly what to do and explained the process. Did the windows he had part for and completed the job the next day. I would highly recommend this provider as he shows up on time and get the job done."
"This is a great company who does exceptional work. They installed shutters throughout our home and we couldn t be happier with the finished product. Gary & Karen did the initial estimate and took so much time going over everything. Never tried adding any hidden fees. Very good & nice people to work with. Bob & his son did the final measurements & installation & the overall end result is nothing short of amazing. Highly recommend this company. I feel like I made new friends with all of them."
"I'm very happy that my condo bedroom windows now open and close easily. They are the original windows from 1972, and I greatly feared they would have to be replaced. Their repair tech first came out to do an assessment of the problem. He had to order parts, and his return visit was today. He got the job completed and I couldn't be happier, and also relieved that no window replacement was needed. 5 Stars!"

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.
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.
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.
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.
