"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."
"This is the second time I called them. They do great work and are great people. The first time I used them they were part of a competitive bid process and they chose a significantly less expensive approach to my problem which was minor. I firmly believe the other contractors wanted a significant payout to make it worth their while to do the work. This contractor will tell you truthfully what is wrong and will fix it for a fair price. When it came time for this job I didn't even shop around. And they did not disappoint. If I had anything negative to say it would be that I had to be proactive in getting them to communicate when they would do the work (they are very busy). BUT I did tell them I was in no hurry for it. I think I am partially to blame and won't ding them too much for this. I have other jobs that need to get done and will not hesitate to call them when I can find the extra cash to pay for it. I highly recommend them."

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.
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.
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.
