Frequently Asked Questions

Product Selection & Features
What's the difference between plantation shutters and blinds?

Plantation shutters have wider louvers—usually between 2.5 and 4.5 inches—giving you greater control over natural light and a clearer view outside. Made for interior use, they’re built to provide excellent insulation and long-lasting durability. The wider louvers give your windows a sleek, elegant look that pairs beautifully with modern home designs while offering outstanding light control and functionality.

Which shutter material is best for my home?
The right material depends on your needs and budget. Polycore shutters are a smart choice for bathrooms and kitchens because they resist moisture and humidity, keeping their shape and finish over time. Wood shutters, on the other hand, offer timeless natural beauty and lasting durability. During your free consultation, we’ll assess your windows and help you choose the best option for your space and preferences.
Do your shutters really increase home value?
Plantation shutters typically provide about a 75 percent return on investment and can noticeably increase your property’s value. Since they’re considered a permanent feature rather than a standard window treatment, they’re especially appealing to potential buyers. They boost curb appeal, improve energy efficiency, and bring a custom, upscale look that helps your home stand out in the Southern California market.
What louver sizes do you offer?
We offer three standard louver sizes: 2.5″, 3.5″, and 4.5″. Larger louvers (3.5″ and 4.5″) provide better views when open and work well on bigger windows. Smaller 2.5″ louvers suit traditional styles and smaller windows. During your consultation, we’ll help you select the perfect louver size based on your window dimensions, architectural style, and personal preferences.
Installation & Process
How long does installation take?
Most installations are completed in approximately 3 hours, depending on the number of windows. Our experienced in-house installation team works efficiently while maintaining meticulous attention to detail. We’ll provide weekly progress updates during the manufacturing phase, which typically takes 3-4 weeks. You’ll know exactly when to expect your installation appointment, and we’ll work around your schedule for maximum convenience.
Do you have a minimum order requirement?
No! Unlike competitors who require 3 or more windows, we have absolutely no minimum order requirement. You can start with just one window if you’d like. This flexibility allows you to update your home at your own pace, perhaps starting with a single room and expanding as your budget allows. It’s just one more way we serve our Southern California neighbors better than the big-box stores.
Who performs the installation?
All installations are performed by our own employees—never subcontractors. This ensures consistent quality, professional workmanship, and accountability on every project. Owner Donna Capito personally oversees each project from start to finish, guaranteeing your complete satisfaction before you pay the final balance.
What's included in your free estimate?
Your free estimate comes with a personalized in-home consultation. We’ll take exact measurements, show you material samples, talk through your style preferences, and give you a detailed, no-obligation quote. During the visit, we’ll also walk you through the benefits of each shutter option so you can make the best choice for your home.
Pricing & Value
Are plantation shutters more expensive than blinds?
Although shutters cost more upfront than basic blinds, they deliver exceptional long-term value. With a lifespan of over 50 years—compared to just 5 to 7 years for blinds—they rarely need replacing, boost your home’s value by about 75% of their cost, improve insulation to help lower energy bills, and require very little upkeep. When you factor in longevity and benefits, shutters actually cost less over time than repeatedly replacing blinds.
Do you match competitors' prices?
Absolutely! We guarantee to beat any competitor’s price when comparing equal quality products. We’re confident our prices are already highly competitive—we’re absolutely cheaper than Costco, Lowe’s, and Home Depot. If you receive a lower quote elsewhere, bring it to us and we’ll beat it. Our goal is providing exceptional value, not just low prices, which is why we combine competitive pricing with superior service and quality materials.
What payment methods do you accept?
We accept American Express, Discover, MasterCard, Visa, PayPal, and checks. We also offer a 10% senior discount. Remember, you won’t pay the final balance until you’re 100% satisfied with your installation—that’s our guarantee. We want you to be completely happy with your investment before we collect full payment.
Is financing available?
While we don’t directly offer financing, many of our customers use home equity lines of credit or credit cards with promotional interest rates. Tax season and the holiday period are particularly popular times for shutter installations when customers have additional funds available. We’re happy to work with your budget and timing to make your shutter project affordable and convenient.
Warranty & Maintenance
What does your warranty cover?
Every shutter installation includes a comprehensive 25-year limited warranty covering manufacturing defects, material failures, and workmanship issues. This industry-leading warranty demonstrates our confidence in product quality and installation excellence. Additionally, our 100% satisfaction guarantee means you don’t pay the final balance until you’re completely happy—we’re not satisfied until you are.
How do I maintain my plantation shutters?
Plantation shutters require minimal maintenance—just occasional dusting with a soft cloth or vacuuming with a brush attachment. For deeper cleaning, wipe with a slightly damp cloth and dry immediately. Skip harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners when caring for your shutters. Their durable finish helps prevent fading, yellowing, and warping over time. And unlike fabric window treatments, shutters don’t trap dust—making them a great option for allergy sufferers and much easier to maintain than blinds or curtains.
Can shutters be repaired if damaged?
Yes! Shutters are remarkably durable, but if damage occurs, individual components can often be repaired or replaced without removing the entire shutter. Our 25-year warranty covers manufacturing defects, and we’re always available to address any concerns.
