Setting the Standard for Plantation Shutter Service
We’re passionate about plantation shutters. The only thing we take more pride in than our shutters, is our customer service. We strive to use the latest technology to bring you a modern shutter experience: laser measurements for accuracy, paint scanning tools for color matching, filterable photo galleries and of course online quotes and contracts. The same attention that we put into our service, we also put into our plantation shutter materials and installations. See a few more reasons that make our plantation shutter service stand out from the competition.
Involved Owners
One thing that makes us unique from other shutter companies is that our owners are involved in the end-to-end process. We perform in-home consultations, detailed measuring sessions, contracting, and the larger installations. Why are we so involved? We believe in accountability, which is much easier when you have a single point-of-contact and direct line of communication throughout your entire shutter experience. It's an easy way to ensure that the promises we make at the beginning are made true by the end.
Perfect Paint Matching
We upgraded from a $500 paint sensor to a commercial spectrophotometer / densitometer, which matches the color of your window sill to an exact Sherwin-Williams color. Most homeowners inherit an unknown landscape of paint colors, with no way to tell what color is on their existing window trim. Our spectrophotometer takes out the guesswork and produces a great match. This is important, because plantation shutters look best when they are painted to closely match the surrounding window sill or trim.
5.0 Star Rated
We fully realize that the bar for home-services companies is quite low. For 9 years, we've worked hard to maintain a perfect 5.0 star reputation on Google, Yelp, Houzz, NextDoor and HomeAdvisor. We take a lot of pride in our work, and we do everything possible to ensure that each customer is as happy as possible. We believe that maintaining a great reputation is as easy as delivering quality shutters and keeping every promise that we make.
Precise Laser Measurings
The only way to build properly fitting shutters is by starting with accurate measurements. We don't rely on a physical measuring tape or even a consumer grade red-laser measurer. We use Leica's green-laser Swiss technology for guaranteed measurement accuracy up to 1.5 mm, which ensures reliable and precise results. We custom build every shutter to the dimensions of each window. Good measurements produce tight-fitting shutters that minimize gaps when viewed from outside your home.
Local to Houston
We avoid the typical 8 - 10 week delivery time by building every single shutter right here in Houston. This is made possible by local manufacturing, which minimizes delay by removing reliance on third-party or overseas suppliers. Other shutter providers would call a 4 to 6 week turnaround "expedited". We call it standard. One additional benefit of local production is that if there are any issues or errors with your order, they can be quickly corrected, often expedited within a 2 week turnaround.
Expert Shutter Opinions
Understanding the different styling options for plantation shutters can feel overwhelming. That’s why we share our in-depth knowledge to help you find the style that best matches your personal taste. We bring full-sized sample shutters and frames so you can easily visualize how they would look in your home. Seeing our product quality firsthand allows you to know exactly what you're buying and have total confidence in your decision. We make sure that you get shutters that function and look better than the competition.
Lifetime Warranty
We take special pride in the fact that our shutters are made from high quality materials and constructed to exceed industry standards. At the same time, shutters do have parts that can break. That's why every shutter comes with a limited lifetime warranty that covers aspects like operating mechanisms and finishes. This excludes accidental damage, but in the event that something goes wrong, we'll be there to get your shutters functioning correctly.
Extended Hours
At HTX Shutters, in-home consultations can be scheduled for both evenings and weekends. Just let us know when you’re free, and we’ll be there. We only resort to “arrival windows” for installations, which we limit to 3 hour time slots. We arrive on schedule and we always respect your time, since we know that it is valuable.
