"We had multiple estimates for our shutters and automated shades for our new house and The Window Valet was by far the most professional and best price! Josh was so patient and knowledgeable about all of our questions and made sure we were 100% happy with what we ordered! His team of people communicated with us and had everything installed on time for our move in date! Would highly recommend."

Hi there! I have about 9 years of experience with home remodeling, house flips, and currently I am focused more on carpentry (custom closets, interior/exterior trim, etc.) and flooring. I am still open to most home repair needs. I am new to Angi, but feel free to check out some photos of my work in the project photos. I am also willing to share more photos. Feel free to email me at [email protected] or call/text at 3179032308. Thanks!
"Couldn't be happier with the results, and quality of work from Fritz & his crew! The only regret I have was not calling them sooner to get this done! I would not hesitate to use Innovative Garages again, their work speaks for itself!"
"House was originally painted in 2006. Advertising from company says paint lasts a lifetime, but unfortunately it doesn't....Nothing lasts a lifetime and warranty is only good for owners at the time of service. With our initial telephone call I was told that the person I needed to schedule with was out of the country for 2 weeks and they would have him call me upon his return. After almost 3 weeks, he didn't call so I had to call the office back. The process of getting him out to look at the areas that needed to be touched up took several more weeks, each time with me calling the office. This was also very frustrating since the only person that could help me worked part-time, so it was hit or miss to reach her when I called, and it was hit or miss for her to return my telephone calls. After several weeks I was finally told the painter would be out on a certain day to do the work. He and I walked around the house so I could show him the areas. It was kind of a wasted effort as he missed spots I pointed out. During the initial painting in 2006, the garage windows (2) were not painted at all. He took care of those, as well as having to repaint 3 kitchen windows....All the windows that were done were painted shut AGAIN! "
"Dustin and his crew did a beautiful job for me! New roof, siding and soffit. Extremely happy with the results! He'll be the first one I'll call in the future for any work I need done!"
"The man I talked to was very professional and timely. However, he explained that this particular job was beyond the scope of what their company does. I would certainly use them on another 'issue'. "
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%.
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 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.
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.
