Frequently Asked Questions
How much do plantation shutters cost in NYC?
Plantation shutter pricing depends on window size, material, and configuration. Wood shutters vary based on the specific requirements of your project, while composite and vinyl options vary based on window size, product, and configuration. We provide free in-home consultations with detailed, no-obligation quotes.
What's the difference between wood and composite shutters?
Real wood shutters (basswood, poplar) offer a premium look and feel with natural grain. Composite and faux-wood shutters are moisture-resistant, more affordable, and ideal for bathrooms and kitchens. Both options are custom-built and available in a wide range of finishes.
Can shutters be installed on specialty-shaped windows?
Yes. We custom-build shutters for arched, circular, triangular, and other specialty-shaped windows. Each shutter is precision-measured and built to match your window's exact dimensions.
Do plantation shutters work in NYC apartments and co-ops?
Absolutely. Shutters are a popular choice in NYC apartments because they require no external hardware, maintain clean sight lines, and meet most co-op and condo board aesthetic requirements. We handle all building coordination and COI documentation.
How long does shutter installation take?
A standard shutter installation takes a few hours for most homes. Larger projects or specialty shapes may take 1–2 days. Manufacturing lead time is typically 4–6 weeks from measurement to installation.
Are shutters energy-efficient?
Yes. Plantation shutters provide excellent insulation by creating an air pocket between the shutter and window. This helps reduce heating costs in winter and cooling costs in summer — especially valuable in older NYC buildings with single-pane windows.
