Default Plantation Shutters

My husband and I have searched this form for plantation shutter recommendations and the companies that install them. There doesn’t seem to be a whole lot on here regarding them. We’d appreciate any recommendations or ideas. Thank you.

Default Love, love, love our plantation shutters

All Windows in our home have shutters. Can't help, did not install, previous owner did.

We just had shutters installed Monday by Florida Blind Company. Absolutely 100% pleased with the results! The installer was Joe Fetters and his wife Christine who did a fabulous job of installing and cleaning up. Very nice couple and very nice product, we’re so glad we called Joe! 407-504-1102

If you're handy, you order them online and put them up yourself.

48 hour blinds did mine and several neighbors. Their shutters are made locally - not from China - which is a plus for me.

We’ve had Joyce’s Blinds install plantation shutters in our houses for the last 20 years. It’s been the same person who comes to inspect the job, and measure throughout that time. The work has always been excellent. I highly recommend them. Derek. (352) 347-9099,

Default Blinds.com

I ordered mine (all windows) and installed them myself. I used Blinds.com they also offer installation. Measuring is the most important part. They wanted windows measured within 1/32 of an inch. If you have Blinds.com install them they will send someone to measure and then when the shutters arrive will come and install (my neighbor did this) Very well built I am very happy with them. You can go on their site and price them and figure out what options you want. Faux Wood Shutters | Custom Shutters | Blinds.com At the time I ordered they also offered interest free financing.

Joy's Blinds, not Joyce. I've used them twice, on 2 different houses.

just make sure, when you get the shutters that you are able to tilt the window in all the way to clean them

We had gorgeous plantation shutters installed by Village Blind & Shutter. Their store is at 4127 CR 106 in Oxford. Phone (352) 330-4000. It’s been a few years, but ask for Holly. She was quite helpful. The installation was beautiful.
