"I could not be happier with my experience ! Doug was a pleasure to have in my home , professional , efficient and knowledgeable. Whatever your window treatment needs are trust the expertise of Suburban Window Fashions Inc ."
"The problem with our blinds was apparently a simple one to fix for someone who knows what they're doing. Mr. Johnson was just that someone. When he discovered the supplier had sent the wrong part, Mr. Johnson did not charge me for the trip. He was efficient, friendly, his prices were reasonable, and our problem was taken care of. I highly recommend Suburban Window Fashions Inc."
"SunControl was great to work with! Very respectful of me and my house and cleaned up when they were done. I had them do both window tinting and blinds. Although it wasn't a large job, I was treated as though it was. I would definitely use them again."
"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."
"Excellent service. Art came out and gave us an estimate promptly and then fit us in only 4 days (and on Memorial Day). Good work and very fair price. We had a small trim repair and none of the other companies we contacted even called us back. Highly recommend."
"We have not had our window treatments installed yet, however Dawn has been very helpful in answering our questions and guiding us on what to choose for our windows. She went above and beyond to make sure she was present during our shutter measurement appt with Andy. I can't say enough positive things about her and your company so far. We can't wait until our window treatments are installed!!"
"So we had home Genius do our roof, and we had a small hiccups come up but Home Genius and there crews immediately fixed and remedied the issues. Silverio their crew lead was extremely professional and knowledgeable. And Devan did the final clean up and paperwork and was beyond professional. And we will be getting quotes for our windows from Devan this week. Highly recommend Home Genius and Crews."

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.
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.
