What changes the price
There is no single price, because every set of shutters is made to the size of your windows. Shutter pricing generally rises with the size of the window, so a large picture window costs more than a small bathroom window.
These are the main things that move the total:
- The number of windows and doors, and their size
- The material, for example moisture-resistant engineered wood or real wood
- Louver size, from 2 1/2 to 4 1/2 inches
- Hidden or front tilt bar
- Special shapes such as arches and angles
- Painted or stained finish
- Motorization, if you want it
- Installation
Why materials matter in Florida
Florida sun is hard on finishes and Florida humidity is hard on real wood. Moisture-resistant engineered materials hold their shape and color in kitchens, bathrooms and sunny rooms, while real wood suits air-conditioned living spaces. Choosing the right material for each room affects both the price and how long the shutters look new.
Whole house or a few rooms
Many homeowners put plantation shutters in the main rooms and street-facing windows, and use faux wood blinds or shades on secondary windows. That keeps the look consistent where it matters and keeps the total sensible. We will price it both ways if you would like to compare.
How to compare shutter quotes
Two quotes are only comparable if they cover the same thing. Check each one for:
- The same material and louver size
- Installation included, not added later
- A written, itemized quote, not a verbal estimate
- Who measures and who installs
- What the warranty covers, in writing
- A realistic lead time, since shutters are made to order

Common questions
Are plantation shutters worth the cost?
They cost more than blinds but have no fabric to fade, no cords to tangle and very little to break. For rooms with hard daily use or strong sun, many homeowners find that they replace blinds or shades less often. Whether they are worth it depends on your budget and the rooms involved.
Do plantation shutters cost more than blinds?
Usually, yes. Shutters are built like furniture and fixed to the frame, so they cost more up front. Faux wood blinds and roller shades cost less and are easier to change later.
Is the quote free?
Yes. There is no charge for the in-home visit, the measuring or the written quote.
