"John was WONDERFUL to work with, especially since this was done online and over the phone as I was in Florida having plantation shutters installed in Wi. His price was lower than other estimates, his work was extraordinary, he was personable, professional, and super efficient. He helped me through the process and made valuable suggestions. Can't say enough good things about him and Better Blinds. My shutters are beautiful, getting lots of compliments. Thanks John."
"We called The Blind Guy for an estimate to replace our 8 window 20 yr old shades. He recommended a shade that he said would meet our needs including a power operated shade for our large window in the living room which would have needed 3 string pull shades. We were so impressed with him and product we did not bother with getting any other estimates. Installation and quality of the workmanship gets 5+stars. I called Philip over a year and half later asking if he could swap a room darkening shade from one bedroom to another. Within one hour of the request, he showed up and said no charge for this. Thank you, Philip, The Blind Guy for all you do. We highly recommend The Blind Guy! Dave and Kathy T"
"Nate called me right away. He showed up on time and quickly fixed my deck railing. He was polite, professional and very reasonably priced. I will be calling on him again soon."
Been swinging a hammer since I was 18 years old. Coming up on 20 years in the industry. Have done it all from high end 8 million plus dollar builds to just installing a door for someone. I enjoy my craft and what I do
I have wide range of wood working skills I just like to help people - I’m a parts guy during the day M-F at a dealership weekends are usually open - I have just had a passion to do odd jobs a weird things to do my whole life
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.
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%.
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.
