"Another great experience and beautiful window coverings! My husband and I were extremely pleased with the window coverings in our study and great room supplied earlier in the year by Doug of Suburban Window Fashions. So we decided to also replace old blinds in the kitchen eating area with beautiful new white Normans louvered shutters. We also chose a Hunter Douglas Duette Power honeycomb top-down/bottom-up design shade in gray for the master bedroom window that has both a remote and wall power unit. The prices were great and we love the look and quality. Plus Doug is a pleasure to work with!"

"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."

"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!!"

"Michael Garman is a total pro! My window looks like it did when we bought the house 47 years ago. Michael is meticulous and neat. He even went so far as to create a plastic barrier half way through my living room to help control the dust. His craftsmanship is exquisite. He also sanded and painted my front door which also came out beautiful. Throughout the project, he showed my every day not only what he was planning to do but he also asked me every day to check things over to see if I understood where the project was and if I was satisfied. On top of his professional skills, Michael is polite, friendly and fair. I would (and will) hire him again in a heartbeat!"

"Garcia was a pleasure to do business with. He replaced siding and a window for me after my house was damaged by a fire. He was prompt and always communicated with me about what his plans were for the work he was going to do. He also went out of his was to special order a window for me. Above all, I feel his prices are very reasonable and itâ s quality work. I highly recommend Garcia and would definitely hire him again."

Window Shutters questions, answered by experts

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. 

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.

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. 

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%.
