about Us

Donna Rae

My name is Donna and I am the business owner of Shutters by Rae. Prior to me coming to the window shutter industry, I was working as a District Manager for several different wireless companies in the Los Angeles area. It was my vision to combine my business knowledge and skills with my passion to help families that brought me to the creation of this amazing company. I currently reside in the Long Beach area and I will be serving the LA and surrounding counties. There is no place that I will not travel to help a family in need. I am married and my husband and I have 7 children and 3 grandchildren that are our soul purpose in life. We love to travel, visit at the beach, and spend time with friends and family. I can promise you if you hire us that not only are you going to get the best window shutter product in the industry, but also a unique personalized experience that is tailored to each customer. Providing an exceptional experience is what we are known for and we look forward to helping you either beautify or re-beautify your home in the near future.
