"We were 100% satisfied with J Ross! From the first phone call to the installing our shutters. Nova kept me updated and communicated on a regular basis. . The shutters are absolutely gorgeous! Justin is a pro at installation. I strongly recommend this company!"
"I called and met with representatives from 4 different companies. I was in need of 28 pairs of plantation shutters on very large windows and also shutters on 4 full length French doors. Shelvy was not the least expensive but, Iâ ve learned through experience that so many other factors enter into a successful transaction. He was prompt for all our meetings. The consummate professional and extremely knowledgeable about his product. I live on a lake and he suggested shutters without a center divider so as not to obstruct the view. Fabulous idea. He also was able to use a high gloss paint finish to match my trim, at no extra charge. No one else was able to do that. The installation was seamless and the installers were professional and I was comfortable having them in my home. Because of the southern exposure and reflection off the water, Shelvy was able to recommend a level of window tinting that provided UV protection but did not distort our view. All in all this was a seamless project from start to finish."
"Freddie responded quickly and explained the process thoroughly. He beat his own deadline. The custom shutters look amazing. Iâ m happy with my services."
"Luxury window fashion was very prompt and professional. They were very responsive and transparent, would definitely recommend to anyone looking for Shutter installs. I love my new shutters."
"Did not recieve the estimate after the consultant arrived. When I called back received the estimate very quickly. However the estimate was over 20K for 15 plantation shutter windows which is about double any of the other estimates."
"They did a wonderful job, they kept their timeline and the work was great! They were able to power wash and paint the exterior as well as replace our roof in a short window before we had a tenant move in. They even alerted us to things that needed to be repaired so we knew they wanted to be sure things were done right. We were out of town so they sent pictures and videos of the work being done to keep us in the loop. We will absolutely use them again and recommend them to anyone we know."
"Mr Handyman provided a well qualified service but they price was very HIGH. In addition to the initial fee to come out, they charge almost $100/hour for any time over the 1 hour window. I will likely be watching some YouTube videos & doing it myself next time...."
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 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.
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.
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%.
