Your home stays cooler during those brutal Texas summers. Energy bills drop because your windows actually insulate now. You get the privacy you want without living in darkness.
The noise from the street fades to background whisper. Your neighbors stop peeking in, but natural light still fills your rooms exactly how you control it.
Most importantly, your home looks like it was designed this way from the start. No more generic window treatments that scream “rental property.” These shutters become part of your home’s architecture.
A Plus Shutters & Shades brings over a decade of construction expertise to every Brentwood installation. We understand how homes built in the 1940s through 1960s present unique challenges that cookie-cutter companies miss.
Our team has worked throughout the Austin area long enough to know that Brentwood homeowners expect quality that matches their investment. We’re not the cheapest option, and that’s exactly why our clients choose us.
We use Texas-made products because we believe in supporting local craftsmanship. Every shutter is custom-measured and professionally installed with a warranty that backs our work.
We start with an in-home consultation where we measure your windows and discuss your specific needs. No generic estimates or guesswork. Every measurement is precise because your older Brentwood home deserves shutters that fit perfectly.
Next, we walk you through material and color options that complement your home’s existing trim and character. We can match any color or stain, and we’ll show you exactly how everything will look before we start manufacturing.
Manufacturing takes about four weeks using local Texas craftsmen. Once your custom shutters are ready, our installation team handles everything. We protect your floors, install with precision, and clean up completely. You’re left with shutters that look like they came with the house.

Every plantation shutters installation includes precise measuring, custom manufacturing to your exact specifications, and professional installation with warranty coverage. We handle the entire process from consultation through final cleanup.
For Brentwood homeowners, this means shutters designed for your specific climate challenges. Texas heat demands real insulation, not decorative window dressing. Our shutters create an actual thermal barrier that keeps conditioned air inside where it belongs.
We also understand that many Brentwood homes have unique architectural details. Whether you’re dealing with original 1950s windows or custom renovations, we create shutters that enhance rather than compete with your home’s character. The result looks intentional, not like an afterthought.
Most Brentwood homeowners invest between $400 and $700 per window for custom plantation shutters, including professional installation. The exact cost depends on window size, material choice, and any custom features like specialty shapes or non-standard colors.
For a typical Brentwood home with 10-12 windows, you’re looking at $4,000 to $8,400 total. This includes everything: consultation, precise measuring, custom manufacturing, professional installation, and warranty coverage.
The investment pays for itself through energy savings and increased home value. Quality plantation shutters offer about 75% return on investment, which is significantly higher than most other home improvements.
Yes, properly installed plantation shutters create a real thermal barrier that can reduce cooling costs by up to 25%. This matters especially in Brentwood where temperatures are expected to increase significantly over the next 30 years.
The key is custom fit and quality materials. Generic shutters with gaps around the edges don’t provide meaningful insulation. Our shutters are measured and manufactured to fit your exact window openings, creating an effective seal against heat transfer.
Wood shutters offer the best insulating properties, while our composite options provide excellent performance with added moisture resistance. Either way, you’ll notice the difference in both comfort and utility bills during those brutal Texas summers.
The complete process typically takes 5-6 weeks from your initial consultation to final installation. This includes one week for measuring and planning, four weeks for custom manufacturing, and 1-2 days for professional installation depending on the number of windows.
We use local Texas manufacturers, which means shorter delivery times and better quality control compared to companies that ship from overseas. The four-week manufacturing time allows for proper custom work rather than rushed production.
Installation day itself is efficient and clean. Our team protects your floors and furniture, installs with precision, and handles all cleanup. Most homes are completed in one day, though larger projects might require two days to ensure perfect results.
Absolutely. Matching existing trim is crucial for that built-in look, especially in established Brentwood neighborhoods where architectural integrity matters. We bring color samples to your consultation and can custom-paint or stain to match any existing finish.
Our installation includes custom trim work that integrates with your home’s existing molding and casing. This is what separates professional installation from generic box-frame approaches that stick out like afterthoughts.
We’ve worked with everything from original 1950s ranch trim to modern renovation details. The goal is shutters that enhance your home’s character rather than competing with it. When we’re done, visitors assume the shutters came with the house.
Older Brentwood homes present unique challenges that generic shutter companies often miss. Window openings aren’t always perfectly square, and original trim work requires careful integration to maintain the home’s character.
Our decade of construction experience means we understand how to work with settling foundations, original window frames, and vintage architectural details. We measure precisely and manufacture to accommodate these realities rather than forcing standard solutions.
We also understand that Brentwood homeowners chose their neighborhood for its established character. Our shutters enhance rather than modernize inappropriately. The result preserves your home’s authentic feel while adding contemporary functionality and energy efficiency.
Yes, we warranty both our shutters and installation work because we stand behind our craftsmanship. The specific warranty terms depend on the materials chosen, but you’re covered for both manufacturing defects and installation issues.
This warranty matters because plantation shutters are a long-term investment. Quality shutters should last 20-25 years or more, and our warranty ensures you’re protected throughout that lifespan.
We also provide ongoing support if you need adjustments or have questions about operation and maintenance. When you choose A Plus Shutters & Shades, you’re not just buying shutters – you’re getting a relationship with a local company that will be here when you need you.
