"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."
"The windows were manufactured earlier than we expected and we were promptly contacted about installation. Although we were told the installation was scheduled for two days, the four man crew that arrived was able to finish in a single day! Each window was installed with the same consistency in quality and efficiency. Furthermore, the crew did an excellent job protecting our floors and furnishings in every room. When it comes to evaluating the installation crew, we couldn't be happier. Regarding price, we probably paid more than we should, but that's on us. We advise getting several other quotes first and then get Castle's quote. This will definitely help in your negotiating. The windows have definitely helped to eliminate draftiness in our home and helped to maintain a consistent temperature."
"Competitive Painters fit me in on short notice, arrived as scheduled and did a great job on the install. The recessed lights look great and they were in and out in no time. Friendly and professional service. "
"Mega Kitchen and Bath remodeled our bathroom and we couldn?t be happier to have worked with them. Throughout the whole process, from picking out finishes with Ibrahim to demolition and installations, the amount of detail and time put into our project was excellent. The managers and workers were on the job site every day to make sure all details were taken care of. The time line given was followed as promised and they finished the work on time. We are very pleased with the final result and are looking forward to work with them again soon.

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.
