"I contacted Alpha Home Services as I needed someone to replace the exterior wood window trim on a couple of windows and the trim around my back door. Sergio came over right away, took pictures, and sent me a quote. The work he did was nothing short of exceptional. The repairs were completed quickly and efficiently and the new trim looks wonderful. What really impressed me is how Sergio went above and beyond the scope of this repair job. First, as he was removing the window screens he noticed that the screens were a bit tight so he adjusted the window to make it easier to put them on and take them off again, if necessary. Also, one of the window shutters had fallen off and Sergio noticed this. I had it in the garage so he reattached it to the house for me. I can't say enough about how pleased I am with the work that was done. For future projects, I will keep Alpha Home Services on my speed dial. They are professional, friendly, and efficient. The repairs are excellent!"

"I sent pictures of my space, and talked with a designer on the phone. But it was near the holidays and due to time constraints by the designer and by myself, we never got back together for suggestions. After so much time had passed, and the deal had expired, I just never contacted them again."
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.
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%.
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.
