Your Old West Austin home loses up to 40% of its energy through poorly covered windows. Custom plantation shutters create a thermal barrier that keeps your historic home comfortable year-round while blocking UV rays that fade your furniture.
These aren’t just window coverings. They’re an investment that transfers with your home’s deed, adding measurable value to properties that already average over $1.2 million in your neighborhood.
You get wider louvers for clearer views, precision fit to 1/16 of an inch, and the peace of mind that comes with North American basswood construction—not the particle board alternatives shipped from overseas.
We build every plantation shutter right here in Central Texas. While other companies wait 6-12 weeks for overseas shipments that might arrive damaged, we measure, build, and install your custom shutters in half the time.
Your Old West Austin neighbors know quality when they see it. That’s why we use the same North American hardwood and finishing materials your builder used, matching the architectural integrity of your Greek Revival, Colonial, or Craftsman home.
We’ve been serving the historic neighborhoods of Austin where details matter and shortcuts don’t work. Every installer on our team has worked through our factory, so they understand exactly how your shutters should fit and function.
We start with a free in-home consultation where our factory representative brings samples directly to your Old West Austin home. You’ll see exactly how different louver sizes and finishes look with your existing trim and lighting.
We take precise measurements—down to 1/16 of an inch—and provide your quote the same day, usually before leaving your house. More complex configurations get emailed by end of day.
Your shutters are built in our Central Texas factory using North American basswood and your exact paint or stain specifications. We’ll even custom-match colors if you don’t have the formula, providing a sample for your approval before any finishing begins.
Professional installation comes next, handled by team members who’ve worked their way up through our factory. They know every detail of how your shutters should operate and can answer any questions about maintenance or adjustments.

Old West Austin’s heritage oak trees and front porches were designed for Texas weather, and your shutters should be too. We build panels up to 50 inches wide—significantly larger than the 36-inch maximum most companies offer—so your large historic windows get the coverage they need without compromising structural integrity.
Your shutters come with a lifetime warranty that transfers to future owners, adding long-term value to your investment. We use the same trim profiles found throughout your home, so the shutters look like they were built with your house rather than added later.
Texas summers demand real protection. Our shutters reflect heat instead of absorbing it, create tight seals that prevent energy loss, and give you complete control over natural light and privacy. When Austin’s pleasant weather returns, open the shutters and adjust the louvers to let natural airflow cool your home.
Most plantation shutters installation projects in Old West Austin take 4-6 weeks from measurement to completion. This includes time for custom manufacturing at our Central Texas factory and scheduling your professional installation.
We’re significantly faster than companies that ship from overseas, which typically quote 6-12 weeks plus potential delays for damaged shipments. Since we build everything locally, we control the timeline and can often accommodate rush requests for Old West Austin homeowners.
The actual installation day usually takes 4-8 hours depending on the number of windows. Our installers work efficiently while respecting your historic home and neighborhood.

Yes, custom plantation shutters are specifically designed for Old West Austin’s diverse architectural styles. We regularly work with Greek Revival, Colonial Revival, Tudor, and Craftsman homes that have arched windows, bay windows, and unusual shapes that standard shutters can’t accommodate.
Our factory builds panels up to 50 inches wide, which is essential for the large windows common in your neighborhood’s historic homes. We also handle specialty configurations like door handle cutouts for French doors and custom frame styles that match your existing trim.
Each shutter is measured and built to 1/16-inch precision, ensuring a perfect fit regardless of your window’s age or slight irregularities that are common in older homes.
We use the exact same trim profiles and finishing materials that your builder used throughout your home. This means your shutters integrate seamlessly with your existing architecture rather than looking like an obvious addition.

For Old West Austin’s historic homes, we understand that architectural integrity matters. We’ve worked with Greek Revival mansions, Colonial cottages, and Craftsman bungalows, always ensuring the shutters enhance rather than compromise the home’s original character.
Local plantation shutters use North American hardwood construction versus the engineered wood or particle board common in overseas products. This matters significantly in Texas heat and humidity, where inferior materials can warp, crack, or fail prematurely.
We provide same-day quotes and faster installation timelines—typically 4-6 weeks versus 6-12 weeks for overseas shipments. There’s no risk of shipping damage or customs delays that can extend your project timeline indefinitely.
Most importantly, you get local support and warranty service. If you need adjustments or have questions years later, we’re here in Central Texas rather than dealing with overseas customer service or finding local contractors willing to work on someone else’s installation.
Plantation shutters can prevent up to 40% of energy loss through windows, which is substantial in Texas where cooling costs dominate utility bills. The overlapping louvers create a tight seal when closed, and the solid construction provides a thermal barrier that keeps conditioned air inside.
In Old West Austin’s tree-lined streets, you’ll appreciate being able to control natural light without sacrificing the beautiful views of your heritage oaks. Open louvers let in light and breezes during pleasant weather, while closed shutters block intense summer sun and UV rays that fade furniture.
The energy savings are particularly noticeable in historic homes with large windows and high ceilings. Many Old West Austin homeowners see measurable reductions in their cooling bills within the first summer after installation.
