When summer temperatures hit 100+ degrees in Texas, your windows become heat magnets. Quality plantation shutters create an insulating barrier that keeps your home cooler and your AC bills lower.
You’ll notice the difference the first month. Your rooms stay comfortable without cranking the thermostat. The harsh afternoon sun that used to make your living room unbearable gets filtered to the perfect level.
These aren’t just window coverings—they’re an investment that pays you back through energy savings while making your home more valuable and comfortable year-round.
A Plus Shutters & Shades brings over a decade of construction experience to every Coronado Hills installation. We’re not just another window treatment company—we understand how Texas homes are built and what works in our climate.
Our shutters are manufactured right here in Texas, designed to handle everything from scorching summers to unexpected cold snaps. We’ve served the greater DFW area long enough to know that precision matters, especially in established neighborhoods like Coronado Hills where every home has its own character.
When you choose us, you’re supporting local craftsmanship and getting shutters built specifically for Texas living.
We start with a free in-home consultation where we measure your windows and discuss your needs. No pressure, just honest advice about what will work best for your space and budget.
Once you’re ready to move forward, we create custom shutters in our Texas facility. Every shutter is built to your exact window measurements—down to the sixteenth of an inch. This precision matters because poorly fitted shutters create gaps that let in unwanted light and reduce energy efficiency.

Our plantation shutters are built with Texas homes in mind. The materials we use resist warping and fading even under intense UV exposure. The hardware is designed to operate smoothly for years, not months.
In Coronado Hills, where many homes date back to the 1970s and 80s, we often work with unique window sizes and architectural details. Our custom manufacturing process means we can create shutters that look like they were always part of your home, matching existing trim and maintaining the character of your neighborhood.
You also get options that matter—different louver sizes for light control, various wood species and finishes, and frame styles that complement your home’s architecture. This isn’t one-size-fits-all manufacturing. It’s custom work that reflects your taste and your home’s personality.
Plantation shutters typically cost between $200 and $800 per window, depending on size, material, and customization options. Wood shutters are at the higher end, while composite options offer similar looks at lower prices.
The investment makes sense when you consider the energy savings and increased home value. Most homeowners see a 75% return on investment, and the energy efficiency can reduce cooling costs by 15-20% during Texas summers. We provide free estimates so you know exactly what to expect with no surprises.
Custom plantation shutters typically take 4-6 weeks from measurement to installation. This includes manufacturing time at our Texas facility and scheduling your installation.
The actual installation usually takes 4-6 hours for an average home, depending on the number of windows. We work efficiently while maintaining quality standards. Our installers are experienced with Coronado Hills homes and understand how to work with different window types and architectural features common in the area.
Absolutely. Plantation shutters create an insulating air pocket between the window glass and your room, which significantly reduces heat transfer. This is especially important in Texas where summer temperatures regularly exceed 100 degrees.
Quality shutters can reduce your cooling costs by 15-25% compared to standard window treatments. The thick, well-fitted panels block heat gain during the day while still allowing you to control natural light. Many of our Coronado Hills customers notice lower electric bills within the first month of installation.
Plantation shutters are surprisingly low-maintenance, especially compared to fabric window treatments. Regular dusting with a soft cloth or vacuum brush attachment keeps them looking fresh. For deeper cleaning, a slightly damp cloth removes any buildup.
Texas dust and pollen can accumulate, but shutters don’t trap allergens like fabric treatments do. The smooth surfaces wipe clean easily. Wood shutters may need occasional touch-up painting after many years, but quality shutters are built to last 15-20 years with minimal care.
Yes, custom plantation shutters can be made to fit virtually any window size or shape, including the varied window styles found in Coronado Hills homes from the 1970s and 80s. We measure each window individually to ensure proper fit.
Older homes often have settling or slightly irregular openings, which is why precise measurement and custom manufacturing matter. Our experience with established neighborhoods means we know how to work with these variations. We can also match existing trim work so the shutters look original to your home.
Plantation shutters are the only window treatment that consistently adds to home value. Real estate professionals estimate a 75% return on investment, meaning you recover most of your cost when you sell.
In Coronado Hills, where home values have been steadily increasing, quality improvements like custom shutters help your property stand out. Buyers see shutters as permanent fixtures rather than temporary decorations, and they appreciate the energy efficiency benefits. The classic look works with both traditional and updated home styles common in the neighborhood.
