"I cannot say enough good things about FCB. Max bends over backwards to make sure the customer is completely satisfied. I’ve never had a more responsive and conscientious contractor. We had FCB replace all of our windows in 2022. We were so impressed by the quality work and price that we called them again to replace our storm door, front door, sidelights and shutters. Great experience. Highly recommend!"
"New Image Elite came highly recommended to me by two neighbors who had their roofs repaired and shingled by the company. Needing the same kind of work, I chose New Image Elite based on those recommendations and I am very glad I did. Matt and his crew did an outstanding job on the roofs of my house and barn. I couldn't be more pleased, especially with their work ethic, their attention to detail, their professionalism, and the thorough clean up after the roofing work was finished. As New Image Elite came highly recommended to me, in view of my experience with the company's work, I feel obligated to pass those recommendations on. I highly recommend New Image Elite."

Window Shutter Repair questions, answered by experts
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.
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.
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%.
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.
