"Linda & Dustin did a great job of quickly and efficiently cleaning the windows and installing the sheeting on them. We're very pleased with the outcome of the project and are very satisfied that it accomplished exactly what we were looking for: to reduce the glare and intensity of the light coming into the room. The project was well worth the cost and will provide benefits for many years into the future."
"Nate was very professional. He answered my message promptly, as well as my additional messages. He was on time & did a great job. I would highly recommend him. He replaced the two shutters that had fallen of the front of my house & did a fantastic job staining my deck. "
He came and cleaned the gutter. He did very well. The job was very good. I liked him a lot. I asked him for another estimate too to fix the flashing, and the roof angles. He may be fixing my roof over my windows. He gave me two different ways to fix the problem by providing two different estimates.
"This is the second time using prolific painting to do work at my home. I had hoped I would get the same professional and quality work as I did receive the first time, that's exactly what I received again. Nathan and his crew painted multiple rooms in my home. They did an excellent job from start to finish and I couldn't be any happier with the finish product. I'm very hesitant choosing workers to come into my home. So It's great to know that there are still excellent companys out there like prolific painting."
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.
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%.
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.
