"LOVE Cornerstone! Carmen is wonderful to work with. She has wonderful suggestions and there was never any pressure to purchase. We purchased shutters, blinds and a motorized shade from her. Installation was prompt as soon as the items came in and was done with perfection. Can't say enough good things about this company!"
"Had a great experience with Florida Blinds. Brad was awesome! Polite, professional and prompt. He made sure we got our blinds ordered and installed within a week. Not sure if he can do that always but he did make a huge effort to help us out. He came when he said he was coming. He was very fair in pricing and he replied to each one of my texts within minutes. All in all, he and his associate Bruce serviced us wonderfully. Very pleased with my blinds and shutters. Will definitely call on them again and recommend them for window coverings."
"They did such a good job that I hired them a second time and I plan to use them for my other properties. Professional, clean work! Good quality materials, the follow-up is excellent and they are very honest and timely!"

"Luke the owner/installer is very professional and was quite flexible with working around our schedule. They did a wonderful job in installing our hurricane shutters in just two days. The crew was very polite and unobtrusive and cleaned up after themselves. The rates were quite reasonable too. Would strongly recommend this company."
"I checked Angie's List and decided to go with this Company. I called them and right off the bat I realized I hd the right company. The President of the Company came out and went over the work I wanted done. He spent the time to explain all the details I should know, what he was going to do, etc. The next day his office sent me an email with the detailed bid and said they would wait for my reply after I reviewed it. Once I accepted the bid, a team was sent out to my house along with the President. He gave his workers all the details and their jobs and remained until he fitted the French door jam and aligned the door.
He departed to let them finish the job and advise me once they were done they would let me inspect the work and insure I was pleased and if I wanted anything adjusted to advise them. They were just about finished and just had some adjustments and trim work to do when the good old Florida rain came done and stopped the job. I was advised the office would call me and let me know when they would be back again. They arrived the next day early, finished the job, had me check it out and once they got ready to depart they insured the area was clean and all the debris was removed. Very professional in all their actions. I have been in Florida in this same area since 1985, and this is honestly the first time I can say I had professionals doing a project for me! The price was fair,the workers were professional and the management was outstanding."
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%.
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.
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.
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.
