Frequently Asked Questions

General
What makes custom wood shutters special?

Our custom wood shutters are crafted to your specifications, allowing you to choose the wood type and finish that perfectly match your aesthetic preferences and home decor. Another important consideration is that wood shutters will add value to your home. If you are building or buying a new home or upgrading an older home, consider the cost of wooden plantation shutters to be an investment in the resale value.

What wood options are available for custom shutters?

For economy and utility reasons, most of our customers select shutters constructed of painted bass wood. Some customers, however, prefer the look of a hardwood such as oak, cherry, or alder. If you have in mind a particular species of wood, we will try to accommodate your wishes, however, availability and cost of some species may be obstacles to consider.

Can I personalize the design of my shutters?

Most of the shutters we build begin with a standard design and essentially the same time proven hardware, however, we will be happy to consider the pros and cons of any modifications you may have in mind.

How do I know what size shutters I need?

Very few windows are absolutely square, therefore, it is important that measurements be taken from top to bottom, horizontally and vertically. It’s not unusual to find differences of 1/8” to ¼” in measurements taken from top to bottom or side to side. We prefer to take measurements ourselves when you contact us for an estimate. Before final assembly and installation of the shutters, we will fit the frames to each window to insure a proper fit.

Are custom wood shutters energy-efficient?

Yes, studies have shown that wood shutters have insulation value.

How long does it take to receive my custom shutters?

The timeline varies based on the complexity of your order and our current production schedule. We will provide you with an estimated delivery date during our initial contact. Since we build the shutters ourselves here in San Angelo rather than order them from a third-party manufacturer or factory located in another part of the country, we may be able to deliver your completed shutters six or more weeks sooner than some of our competitors.

Are your shutters easy to maintain?

Of course! Our wood shutters are crafted with quality finishes that are easy to clean and maintain, ensuring long-lasting beauty.

Can I install the shutters myself?

Depending upon your experience and talent with a screwdriver, you may very well be capable of installing the shutters yourself, but why would you want to if installation is included in the cost of the shutters? Occasionally, we find minor adjustments to the shutters need to be made while performing the installation and we can make those adjustments as necessary.

Do you offer warranty coverage?

Yes, we stand behind the quality of our shutters. We provide warranty coverage to ensure your peace of mind and satisfaction. On rare occasions a screw may need to be adjusted to make the louvers open and close more smoothly or you may discover a problem due to defective material or construction, call us.
