Plantation shutters are furniture built into your window, and installing them is closer to finish carpentry than hanging a blind. Frames must be square even when the window is not, panels must swing true and close flush, and louvers should move with that satisfying uniform tension. That is exactly the kind of work I do across the Des Moines metro.
Built to your frame, fitted on site
Every set of plantation shutters I install is manufactured to the measurements I take by hand at your home. On install day the frame is squared and shimmed as needed, panels are hung and adjusted, and every louver gets checked for smooth, even operation. Older Des Moines homes with settled frames are a specialty, not a problem.
Specialty shapes and challenging windows
Arched tops, angled frames, French doors, and extra deep or shallow sills all have shutter solutions. These windows are where custom manufacturing and careful installation matter most, and where off the shelf products visibly fail.
An investment installed like one
Shutters are the longest lived window treatment you can buy and among the few that buyers notice at resale. The installation should match that permanence, which is why I treat every shutter job as finish work, not just mounting hardware.
