"Charlie was prompt, professional, courteous and did an amazing job painting a very narrow two-story stairwell. We could never have finished this project on our own. I was given a quote, date and time the project would be completed and it was. Highly recommend handy guy services - we will definitely be working with him again!"
"All Parkers work was very well done. He worked expeditiously and we will have him return this Spring for porch repair, railing replacement and more. His prices are fair and he is easy to work with."
"He was a great communicator, professional, and did the work timely. The wall repair looks smooth and like there was never a hole in the place. He was also honest when I asked for additional work (complicated wallpaper application) when he felt it would not meet the quality expectations. I appreciate the honesty and transparency."
"This was a fantastic experience! The work was done beautifully, and efficiently. We had a backyard deck that needed some major work, and Cory completed the repairs on time, within budget, and considerably improved the aesthetic value of the deck. He also did some necessary repairs on a backyard shed, and replaced a skylight in our house. All of the work was very well done, efficiently and in a timely manner. We would absolutely recommend him to anyone who needs repair work done on their property, inside or out. We have full confidence in his ability to provide knowledgeable and professional service, and would absolutely call on him again for future property improvements."

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.
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.
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.
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%.
