"Broken Top Window Coverings did a great job of putting in custom shutters for my sky lights at a 30 degree angle (not easy to do) and installing a Hunter Douglas custom shutter configuration for my Master Bedroom large high-arch window. Totally professional, expert engineering/installation, and very responsive to unique customer needs. I am hiring them again to do another custom shutter installation."

"I know from years of hiring Rod to do any kind of job you can imagine around the house: custom door installations, window treatments, shelves, painting, molding, etc. that he would remodel my bathroom and install new flooring in my bedroom with expertise and for a fair price. I learned something about floor installation having hired someone else lay floors in one of my other bathrooms (Rod was unavailable at the time)--all the things that can go wrong! The guy's workmanship was shoddy. Not only did he cause my floors to buckle, he left the floor threshold incomplete--something that Rod pointed out to me. What a world of difference when Rod installed wood floors in my bathroom and bedroom. The floors lay perfectly flat and the wood planks were chosen carefully so that the pattern of the wood grain looks aesthetically pleasing. Rod's attention to detail and sense of perfectionism is one of the reasons I can trust he will do the job--not only right--but that it will surpass my expectations. Rod's aesthetic sense was also evident when he remodeling my bathroom. He suggested that the windows could really use some design treatment, which would highlight my small bathroom. So I took his suggestion and he crafted a ledge and frame out of the same color wood as the floors, and indeed he made the window the centerpiece of the room! For all of your house fixing, repair, remodeling and design needs, Rod is the best!"

"This project took all summer. The contractor's brother, Brad, and one or two assistants, were there every day, including when the temperatures were over 100 degrees. Happy Construction was the general contractor, but so was I, in that I got the plans from the architect, filed for the initial building permit, hired the HVAC person to heat the new room, and bought all the windows and doors and cabinets myself. Their bid was $32,000 and there were some add-ons as we went, but mostly we stuck with the original agreement and the result is really pleasing. Brad was always very polite and agreeable, and when there were one or two minor things that needed to be changed, he fixed them. I tried to economize on the job by buying the windows on sale from Home Depot, getting a laminate countertop, and buying the cabinets from Ikea. They hired subs for the foundation and sheetrock. The kitchen vinyl floor and laminate countertop was done by the installer from the store where I bought them. Happy Construction did a very good job. Brad is a bit of a perfectionist, which is not a bad thing when he is building your house. I would hire them again."
"It went well. Despite the fact that house was not straight and this complicated inserting the new window and door, they did a marvelous job of making it look great. The work was done swiftly. Pleasant fellows."
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.
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%.
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.
