We get it.
Your home looks good, but the front windows feel unfinished. The siding is clean, the landscaping is maintained, but there's something missing that you can't quite name. For a lot of homes, that something is exterior shutters.
They frame the window, give the facade a finished look, and add the kind of classic detail that makes a home feel intentional from the curb. It's a small change with a disproportionate visual impact.
Exterior shutters might be right for you if:
Your front windows look bare or unfinished from the street
You're updating your home's curb appeal before selling or just for pride of ownership
You want a classic, traditional exterior detail that holds up for years
You want a professional installation that looks right, not DIY-mounted crooked shutters

What exterior shutters are (and aren't): Decorative exterior shutters are non-functioning, they don't open or close over the window. They're a fixed exterior detail, mounted on either side of the window opening. Most are made from composite or vinyl material for durability and low maintenance.
Pricing: Approximately $500–$700 per window pair, depending on size.
Why Choose Us
★★★★★
"Great all around experience. We are very happy with our outdoor sunshades. Garrett, the Blinds and Borders representative, arrived on time and was very knowledgeable about the products. We made our selection and the motorized shades were installed very nicely 2 weeks later. Garrett set up the hand held and wall remote, and even the network hub so we can control them with our phones. Excellent. See the photos for the professional installation and great look. I would recommend." — Clayton Newkirk
★★★★★
"I worked with this company before they changed owners. The service is just as good as before. They came out quickly to examine what our window situation was and gave some ideas with regards to the best treatments. We ordered the shades and they were installed in 3 weeks (two weeks for shipping and delivery). They look great and the cost was comparable if not slightly lower that other options we had for custom shades." — Tom Highfield
★★★★★
"Melissa and Garrett went into detail and explained all of our options so we could make the best decision for our kitchen. We appreciate their professionalism and kindness, highly recommend if you need window treatments!"

Exterior shutters are most common on the front of a home and are typically made from composite or vinyl for durability and low maintenance in outdoor conditions. They're available in a range of styles — louvered, raised panel, board and batten — and in a wide range of colors and finishes.
Proper sizing is important: shutters that are too small for a window look out of proportion and can make the effect worse rather than better. We assess each window during the estimate and recommend the correct size. Exterior shutters typically run $500–$700 per window pair.
