"My husband and I had recently moved from California to Illinois and needed new window coverings for our townhome. We chose Suburban Window Fashions because of their very positive reviews. And Doug exceeded all expectations. I knew I wanted grommet drape panels to cover out great room windows that already had blinds. Doug supplied many sample books of fabric colors and textures as well as showed me various grommet and pole sizes and colors with the pros and cons for each and drew up custom plans for each. I could not be happier with the results. Doug listened to all my thoughts as well as supplied ideas. The end results were as though he had read my mind but improved upon it! As for the deck slider covering, I had no clue what to do. Doug made some excellent suggestions and I chose the Hunter Douglas Applause Vertiglide that stacks to the left and is almost out of sight when open. Finally, my husband wanted a shutter in the study. But an unusual one where both the louvers and each entire panel could open separately against the wall. Doug installed two stacked shutters that are amazing and just what my husband hoped for. We highly recommend Suburban Window Fashions. The quality is superb, the the prices with the Angie's discount are great and Doug has the patience of a saint!"

"EXCELLENT! EXCELLENT! I cannot tell you how pleased my husband and I are with the quality of the work from Garcias Repairs. Our problem was a lot of loose vinyl siding on our two-story home that we were fearful of blowing away. Dario Garcia and Jose were very thorough in their assessment of our project, making certain that the wood underneath the siding was in good condition before the repair, which it was. It was evident from this assessment that they took pride in what they do. They then gave us a fair estimate for the repair. Their attention to detail left our home in better condition, and we could be happier. They did a beautiful job. Because we were so happy with the work they did on our house, we hired them to do some vinyl repair on my sister's home. Results again, were excellent. It is refreshing to come across contractors that are so HONEST. My husband and I recommend GARCIA'S REPAIRS highly."

"Our kids broke in the inside window pane from a double hung bedroom window. I had removed the window myself. Apex called me after submitting a request through Angie's list and the rep mentioned it may be more economical if I lived close to drop it off. I did that and they had the window repaired in 2 days, the window looked great and at a better price the the competition. I will definitely use Apex again for repairs."

"They were supposed to give me an estimate for an addition to replace one family room ad one sunroom that I have. They did the windows, but they never gave me an estimate to determine if I wanted it done. They did deliver the wrong window, but they were very good about ordering another window. They did work for me last year. I don't think the price was too much. They came late. I've used them twice now. I used them even though their responsiveness was not that great."

Window Shutter Repair questions, answered by experts

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%.

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.

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.
