"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."
"Jennifer was amazing. She get in touch with me right away. She worked with me to create the exact look that I wanted. Her father who works with her expertly hung the drapes and the project has dramatically enhanced my dining room. Even my mother loved the drapes! I would highly recommend her services! "
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.
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.
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.
