"Made in the Shade was great. Service was top notch, Ernie and his team were on time for our consultation and install. Made the process so easy for me and my wife. We felt like we were in good hands throughout the process. I would highly recommend Made in the Shade for any window treatments ."
"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."
"Hard-working guys, on time and cleaned up after. Fixed our rotten window framing and exterior shingles. It looks so natural that you can’t even tell it was worked on. Thanks!"
"We hired Gaby to install all new baseboard molding, doors and trim, and all new window casing and trim in a few of our upstairs rooms. We live in old house so there are many instances where walls, floors, etc were not level but Gaby did a fantastic job working around those challenges and the final product looks perfect. He did an excellent job. He pays close attention to detail and works hard all day long, so we got a great product in a short amount of time, for a fair price. We are thrilled with how the rooms look now and would definitely recommend hiring Gaby for your project."
"Excellent work. He replaced a drop ceiling and installed a window. He is confident and has every reason to be. The job was done on time and the clean up was perfect."
"Mr DeVaux did an excellent job on the finish carpentry work, painting and staining on a stain glass window frame install in an existing wall. The mitered corners had no gaps. Even though the job requirements changed somewhat there were no additional charges. I plan to hire him again on additional projects."
"Brian is great. Came down to assess the damage and was back in 2 days with a new window. He also fixed a broken screen at no charge. Definitely would recommend."
"In addition to the kitchen, they also remodeled our bathroom. Marco was sensitive to the fact that we only had one bathroom and made sure we were out the facilities for the minimum time possible. Our bathroom remodel was completed with lightning speed which we really appreciated! The kitchen remodel was also speedy. They worked with our requirements for smaller than usual appliances, finding, and even building, cabinets to fit our small kitchen space. Everyone who worked on our projects were very professional, wearing masks and keeping windows open even in the winter months. We're very happy with our new kitchen and bathroom!"

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%.
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.
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.
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.
