Together, they’re hard-working, lifelong Texans who put an enormous amount of skill, dedication, and pride into every piece of work they create for homeowners!

WHY CHOOSE
SOUTHERN SHUTTERS?

We do everything, start to finish.


From measuring, designing, building and installing your plantation shutters, we take care of every step of the process for you. No stress, no worries–just the beautiful look, feel and functionality our Austin plantation shutters customers love.


We come to you.


The only way you can truly decide what’s right for your home's windows is in your home. That’s why our local reps from our Austin shutter factory will bring samples to you, take measurements, and provide your quote the same day. You never have to leave your home!


We quote the same day.


After our factory representative goes over each window with you, taking precise measurements, a quote will be given. By sending it over email, we strive to provide the estimate before leaving the house. More complicated quotes will be emailed by the end of the day.


We are the factory.


We are the only interior shutter manufacturer in Central Texas. As the craftsman behind our product, we have control over every aspect of the design, manufacturing, and installation. We will use your exact trim profile, and the exact paint that you or your builder used throughout your home, to install shutters that look like they came with your home.


We install.


As shutter specialists, this is all we do, no subcontractors! We specialize in installing shutters that were built with your home. No matter if your home was built in 1920’s or 2020’s, we will provide you with a shutter that not only adds value to your home, but looks like it came with it.


Warranty.


We offer a lifetime transferable warranty, which means your shutters are not only warrantied for as long as you own the house, but for as long as the house is standing.


EXCLUSIVELY AVAILABLE TO our local CUSTOMERS:

Low Profile
Trim

Most shutter manufacturers build a 4-sided "box frame" that sits against your window opening jutting into the room and sitting on the window sill. We use the exact same trim that frames the doors throughout your home. Thus making the shutters look like they were built with your house.

Premium

Paint & Stain

Other companies only give you a small selection of standard colors. We use the exact same paint that was used in your home, down to the manufacturer, color, and sheen, resulting in the elegant seamless look we are known for. We know every detail counts.

Expert
Installation

Window shutters are a permanent improvement added to your home. Considering that shutters will not be removed from the windows, we understand that the installation is vital to the longevity of the covering. Our craftsmen have decades of experience installing shutters that look like they came with your home.

Custom

Design & Fit

Just like each of our customers are different, we know that the houses we work in are different. Every shutter we make is specifically measured and crafted for each window. No cookie-cutter boxes, color, and style from us! We work with you to create a shutter that looks like it was built for your home

CHOOSE CUSTOM WINDOW SHUTTERS FOR TIMELESS DECOR AND FUNCTIONALITY

Plantation shutters (also known as California shutters) have a classic and timeless look that adds elegance and sophistication to any room. While there are nearly limitless options of window coverings available here in Austin, only real wood plantation shutters offer the benefits that our customers enjoy, year after year:


Upscale Design: Our shutters add unparalleled beauty and functionality to your Austin area home.  They complement every style of home, including traditional, classic, modern, country, cottage or any other home decor.


Light Control: Light is easily controlled with the large louvers of plantation shutters and we  have the ability to build up to 48” wide panels! This means our shutters allow the most light to enter the room, with the least amount of obstructions. If you want to block the light, all it takes is one easy motion of your hand to push the louvers closed.


Privacy: With louvers positioned at the proper angle, you can still keep your view, while people at a distance can’t see in your home. A great way to maintain your privacy, while not obstructing your view. For full privacy simply close the louvers completely.


Insulation: Everything is bigger in Texas, including our heat and cold waves. Real wooden shutters for windows have built-in insulating properties, helping keep your home cool and comfortable during the hot Texas summers and warm during those unpredictable cold spells.


Noise Control:  Hand-crafted of solid basswood, our interior shutters help mute noise from the street or other outside elements, helping create a quiet and peaceful environment in your home.


Sustainable:  Our shutters are built to last the lifetime of your home, helping minimize unnecessary waste. Many manufacturers use cheaper materials such as glued-together wood, vinyl and composite – all of which ultimately will need to be replaced.  Other common window treatments, such as curtains and shades, also need to be replaced periodically. Our premium quality are made to last for decades.


Allergy Friendly:  While curtains, shades and other common window treatments are magnets for pollen, dust, dirt, mold spores and other common allergen triggers, our luxuriously smooth shutters are easy to clean and maintain. Simply wipe down with a damp cloth for an allergy-friendly home.

    Southern shutters did an absolutely amazing job. They were easy to work with every step of the way. I am very happy with how my shutters turned out. The color is a perfect match to my baseboards and they are so smooth. They look like they have been in my house forever and complete each room.

    I decided to pick SS over a few other shutter companies that I evaluated. They were competitive with their prices but more importantly the personalized approach of Chris was outstanding as is the quality of their workmanship. I plan to add on to my initial order and highly recommend. They are a local business with entire manufacturing in Texas.

    This is the second home we have had Southern Shutters make window trmnts for us. We loved the 1st ones made in 2012 so this year our new home got the full treatment on all of our windows. Tony helped us in choosing what we needed. We love the extra effort SS makes to ensure all goes well. They deliver & install on time. Eddie did a great job. We love working with them.

    We’ve had our shutters installed two different times. Once downstairs and we were so happy with them, we had them come back to do the upstairs. They turned out so beautiful and the customer service is WONDERFUL! I wouldn’t think of having anyone else do it. Highly recommend!

Frequently Asked Questions

  • Do you provide free estimates?

    We provide free in-home consultations, and same day estimates emailed to you, as long as you are within our service area. We cover Central Texas/Austin, as well as surrounding areas. 


  • Where can I see examples of the shutters?

    During a free in-home consultation, the factory representative will bring samples to you to show the shutters in your home. We also have a showroom located in Georgetown, Texas where you can see different configurations of the plantation shutters that we build, as well as the quality of the shutters and our installation. 

  • Can you match my paint?

    Yes! Southern Shutters will use any paint or stain that you specify, regardless of brand or formula. If that information is not available, we will custom -match the paint or stain, providing you with an actual sample of your paint or stain for your approval. No shutters are finished until you see and approve that sample. 

  • What kind of wood do you use?

    We use North American Basswood. All wood species used in manufacturing today have both good and bad qualities. The characteristics we like about North American Basswood is it’s stability, it does not warp! This quality is one of the factors that allow us to provide you with a lifetime transferable warranty. 

  • How long do shutters take to install?

    With all new shutter orders, our lead times range from 4-8 weeks, depending on the season and demand. The majority of installations are accomplished in one day, some larger jobs may take two days. We use only our trusted installers, not sub contractors. 

  • Are your shutters locally made?

    Being local, we have access to the same materials you and your builder have access to. We use the same paint or stain your builder used. We match the trim used throughout your house. If you want to see for yourself, come visit our factory located just outside of Austin in Manor TX


    Choosing to support a locally staffed manufacturer also means that the more than 35 people you are employing are spending their wages locally, thus helping central Texas prosper. 

  • What is the maximum width of a shutter panel?

    We will build panels up  to 48 inches wide. We guarantee the structural stability of the shutter. The evolution of plantation shutters is bigger and more open (i.e., fewer visual obstructions), and we are doing whatever we can to give you what you want and back it with a lifetime transferable warranty.

  • What type of maintenance should I expect?

    We do use the highest quality paints and clear coats. Maintenance would be the same for your shutters as it is for your window sills. We recommend dusting with a lamb’s wool duster, or if more is required a damp cloth should do the trick. 

  • Is the factory open to the public?

    We are very proud of our factory, our products, and the entire Southern Shutters family. We always invite anyone to come to our beautiful showroom, but our factory is the heart and soul of who we are. Please visit us in Manor if you get a chance. You’ll see the rich heritage and pride that makes our shutters unique to central Texas. While most jobs these days are imported, you can come visit us to see why it is worth buying local. We don't have a dedicated tour guide, so call ahead when you plan to visit, and we will make sure Mark will be there. He is always happy to show off his factory.

  • Do you make shutters for "Tilt- In" windows?

    Absolutely! Tilt-in windows can be convenient for accessing screens or cleaning the outside of the windows, but this feature can be challenging with shutters, which can block the tilt-in capability. With some treatment companies, you have choose between the tilt-in window or the shutter, but here at Southern Shutters, we have adapted treatment designs that allow you to continue using the tilt-in function while you also enjoy all the benefits of shutters.

  • How long do shutters last?

    The lifespan of shutters depends on several factors, including which company you turn to and how well you take care of them. Although shutters are a fairly simple product, when they are done correctly, they can last for the lifetime of the house. In fact, our customers from 30 years ago are still enjoying beautiful, durable shutters that look and work like the day they were installed! We are so confident in the quality of our work that we offer a lifetime transferable warranty on our shutters. 

  • Are wooden plantation shutters easy to clean?

    Yes, they are! When we prepare the shutters, we use oil-based paint, which puts a hard, protective finish on the shutters. This provides a smooth surface that is simple to clean. Plus, with wide louvers, you can easily fit your hand in between to dust or wipe down the louvers with a damp cloth on a regular basis.

  • Are your shutters energy efficient?

    Shutters are very energy efficient. Basswood, the material we use to manufacture our shutters, provides excellent insulation from the outside heat or cold. Instead of conducting the temperature into the room, the shutters absorb it while still blocking or allowing the light to come into the room. In fact, many customers report lower energy costs after shutter installation! 

  • Can you tell me more about your installation process?

    At Southern Shutters, we are proud to have a team of top-notch professionals. Some of our installers have been with us for decades and have impressive woodworking skills. We stand by our work, which is why we offer a lifetime tranfserable warranty on all the shutters we manufacture and install. As a result, you can rest easy knowing that your shutters will look and work great for many years to come.
