Your air conditioner is working overtime because your windows are letting Texas heat pour in. Quality plantation shutters create an insulating barrier that can reduce heat loss through windows by up to 51%.
That means your AC doesn’t have to fight against the sun all day. Your home stays comfortable without cranking the thermostat. And your energy bills drop to levels that actually make sense.
The right shutters also give you precise light control without sacrificing privacy. You get the natural light you want while keeping the heat you don’t.
We’ve been helping Tarrant County homeowners beat the Texas heat for over a decade. We understand what works in our climate and what doesn’t.
We’re not some national chain that treats every job the same. We’re local contractors who live here, work here, and know exactly what Bohls homeowners need from their window treatments.
Our team handles everything from initial consultation to final installation. No subcontractors, no surprises, just skilled craftsmen who take pride in getting it right the first time.
We start with a free in-home consultation where we measure your windows and discuss your needs. Every window is different, so we measure to the sixteenth of an inch to ensure a perfect fit.
Next, we manufacture your custom shutters using quality materials designed for Texas weather. Our shutters are built to handle the heat, humidity, and UV exposure that comes with living in our state.
Installation typically takes just a few hours per room. Our experienced installers handle all the details, including matching your existing trim and ensuring smooth operation. We clean up completely and walk you through how to operate and maintain your new shutters.

Your plantation shutters come with materials specifically chosen for our climate. We use basswood and composite options that resist warping, cracking, and fading even under intense Texas sun.
Each shutter is custom-painted or stained to match your existing trim. This isn’t about slapping up generic shutters—it’s about creating window treatments that look like they came with your home.
Bohls homeowners deal with temperature swings that can stress inferior products. Our shutters are engineered with UV-resistant finishes and hardware that maintains smooth operation year after year. The investment pays for itself through energy savings and increased home value.
Studies show that quality plantation shutters can reduce heat loss through windows by up to 51% compared to standard window treatments. In Texas, where cooling costs dominate your energy bill, this translates to significant monthly savings.
The exact amount depends on your home’s size, window exposure, and current efficiency. Most of our Bohls customers see noticeable drops in their energy bills within the first month, especially during peak summer months when the AC runs constantly.
The insulating properties work year-round. In winter, shutters help retain heat, and in summer, they block solar heat gain while still allowing controlled natural light.
Basswood and high-quality composite materials perform best in our climate. Basswood offers excellent insulation properties and stability—it doesn’t warp easily despite temperature fluctuations and humidity changes.
Composite shutters provide superior moisture resistance and UV protection. They’re engineered specifically for harsh climates and maintain their appearance longer than lower-grade materials.
We avoid materials that expand and contract significantly with temperature changes. Texas weather is tough on window treatments, so we only use options that we know will perform reliably for decades.
From consultation to completed installation, the typical timeline is 4-6 weeks. This includes time for precise measurement, custom manufacturing, and professional installation.
The actual installation usually takes 3-4 hours per room, depending on the number and complexity of windows. We work efficiently while ensuring every shutter operates smoothly and looks perfect.
Rush options are available for urgent projects. Since we work with local manufacturers in the DFW area, we can often accommodate faster timelines when needed.
One of the biggest advantages of quality shutters is how little maintenance they require. Regular dusting with a vacuum brush attachment or damp cloth keeps them looking new.
The UV-resistant finishes we use protect against fading and deterioration from intense Texas sun. Unlike fabric treatments that collect dust and allergens, shutters stay clean with minimal effort.
Occasional hardware checks ensure smooth operation, but well-installed shutters with quality materials typically require no significant maintenance for years. This makes them ideal for busy homeowners who want beautiful, functional windows without constant upkeep.
Quality plantation shutters are considered a premium upgrade that adds both functional and aesthetic value. They’re often viewed as a permanent fixture rather than just window covering, which appeals to potential buyers.
The energy efficiency benefits are particularly attractive in Texas, where cooling costs are a major concern for homeowners. Buyers recognize that efficient shutters mean lower utility bills.
From a design standpoint, custom shutters that match your home’s trim create a cohesive, upscale appearance. This attention to detail sets your property apart in a competitive market and can contribute to faster sales and better offers.
This is exactly what plantation shutters do best. The adjustable louvers let you control both privacy and light independently. You can angle them to block direct sight lines while still allowing plenty of natural light to filter through.
During the day, you can position the louvers to prevent people from seeing inside while maintaining a bright, open feeling. At night, closing them completely provides total privacy and light control.
This flexibility is especially valuable in Bohls neighborhoods where homes are close together. You get the privacy you need without feeling closed off from natural light or making rooms feel dark and cramped.
