"Justin and his helper Anthony did a great job remodeling the kitchen in our 100-year-old house. They installed new tile flooring and backsplash, new drywall, new appliances, sink, plumbing, lighting, cabinets, paint and windows. The cost was around $15,000, not including appliances and tile, which we purchased separately. The new kitchen looks fantastic. We couldn't be more pleased. Justin's dad, Mike, built our custom oak cabinets. They are works of art. We were so impressed with Mike's work that we had him build us a couple of other cabinets in a separate job. They were here on time every day until the project was finished. It took about two weeks. Overall, the job came in on time and on budget. Due some supply delays -- the windows came in late and we had to order another box of backsplash tile -- Justin did have to come back a few days later and finish those details. The cost was reasonable and the quality of work was excellent. Justin is professional, courteous and highly skilled. I would not hesitate to recommend him.
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 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.
