The True Value of Plantation Shutters (It’s More Than Just Looks)

Many people compare shutter prices and choose the cheapest route, but with shutters, it’s not about finding the lowest number. It’s about investing in quality, custom fit, and a professional install.

Here’s what sets Southern Shades shutters apart:

Precision Fit for Every Window
Each shutter we install is measured and custom-crafted to perfectly fit your window, from arched openings and French doors to uniquely stained trim. No gaps. No crooked frames. Just clean, tailored lines.

Locally Made = Faster Turnaround
No overseas delays here. Our shutters are built in the U.S., and we typically deliver in 3–5 weeks for smaller jobs and 4–6 weeks for larger installs.

Installed in a Single Day
Most projects are completed in one clean, efficient visit, no long timelines or surprise fees. Just beautiful shutters, professionally installed and ready to enjoy.
