I'm a hands-on generalist who's been fixing, building, and finishing things for as long as I can remember. If it's broken, loose, crooked, or still in the box, I can handle it.\n\nThe best snapshot of what I do is a Ford Transit I converted from an empty cargo shell into a full campervan — framing, insulation, cabinetry, 12V electrical, plumbing, and trim. Everything had to be square, solid, and actually work, with no contractor to hand it off to.\n\nThe day-to-day work looks like this: furniture assembly, TV and shelf mounting, drywall patching and paint, light fixture and faucet swaps, doors that stick or won't latch, small carpentry, and general repairs around the house. I also do my own welding and automotive work, so odd metal fixes and mounting problems don't scare me off.\n\nI bring my own tools, show up when I say I will, and clean up after myself. Small jobs welcome — that's usually where I do my best work.

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.
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.
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.
