Exterior Shutters

Board and batten, louvered and bahama shutters in durable materials, sized and mounted to look like they belong.

Shutters add style and a finished look to windows. Louvered shutters suit traditional and colonial homes, board and batten shutters add farmhouse and cottage character and bahama shutters bring a coastal touch above a window. When they are the right size and style, shutters make the facade feel complete. When they are too narrow or too small, they look pasted on.

Proportion matters. A shutter should look as if it could close and cover the opening, so each one is sized to half the width of the window and match its height. We help you choose materials such as vinyl, composite, cedar and PVC and finishes and colors that suit your siding and doors. Mounting uses hidden fasteners and spacers so shutters sit square and sealed, and we flash where they attach. Add the right hardware and the result looks like it was there from the day the house was built.

Sized to the window

Each shutter is sized to half the width and the full height of the opening so it looks functional and balanced.

Style that suits the house

Louvered, board and batten and bahama styles each belong on certain homes. We show examples.

Durable materials

Composite, PVC, vinyl and cedar options handle weather in different ways. We explain each.

Hidden mounting

    We explain your options for material, profile and color, and give you a written scope with clear pricing, timing and what is behind the siding.

    We protect landscaping, remove old siding, repair sheathing and install house wrap with flashed openings before anything new goes on.

  5. 05

    We hang siding, corners, trim, soffit and details with the right fasteners, spacing and caulk, and keep the house sealed at the end of each day.

  6. 06

    We clean up with magnets and rakes, walk the house with you and leave simple care instructions and a reminder for your next check.

Questions

Exterior Shutters FAQ

Do shutters have to be functional?

Most are decorative. They should still be sized as if they could close.

What size shutters should I get?

Each is usually half the window width and the full height, so a pair covers the opening.

Which shutter color is best?

Dark and rich colors contrast well with light siding. We can test color options on your house.

Do shutters need maintenance?

Composite and vinyl need little. Wood needs periodic painting.

Can you add shutters to existing siding?

Yes. We use spacers and sealants to protect the wall.
