Hear from Our Customers
Your New Sweden home deserves shutters that work as hard as you do. Real wood plantation shutters don’t just look good—they cut your energy costs by keeping that intense Texas heat out during summer and warmth in during winter.
You’ll notice the difference immediately. No more squinting through cheap blinds or dealing with flimsy window treatments that warp in our humidity. These shutters give you complete light control, serious privacy, and the kind of insulation that actually shows up on your electric bill.
Plus, you’re investing in something that increases your home’s value. In New Sweden’s competitive real estate market, quality shutters signal that a home has been well-maintained and thoughtfully upgraded.
We bring over a decade of construction expertise to New Sweden and the greater Austin area. We’re not just another window treatment company—we’re part of the A Plus Home Remodel family, with deep roots in Texas craftsmanship.
What sets us apart in Travis County is simple: we use Texas-made products and employ our own professional installation team. No subcontractors, no overseas manufacturing headaches, no surprises. Just skilled craftsmen who understand New Sweden’s newer homes and exactly what it takes to get shutters installed right the first time.
We’ve seen what happens when homeowners choose the cheapest option. Warped louvers, misaligned frames, and installations that look amateur from day one. That’s not how we work.
The process starts with a free in-home consultation where we measure your windows precisely and show you material samples. No guesswork, no generic solutions. Every measurement matters when you’re dealing with custom shutters.
Next, our Texas factory team designs and crafts each shutter specifically for your windows. We match your home’s existing trim and paint colors perfectly, so the finished product looks like it was built with your house. This typically takes about four weeks from final measurements.
Installation day is where our experience really shows. Our professional team handles everything from protecting your floors to ensuring perfect alignment on every panel. Most installations are completed in a few hours to a full day, depending on how many windows you’re upgrading. You’ll have functional, beautiful shutters that operate smoothly and look flawless.

New Sweden’s newer construction and upper-middle-income community demands window treatments that match the quality of these homes. Our custom plantation shutters are engineered specifically for Texas conditions—high humidity, intense summer heat, and occasional severe weather.
We offer multiple material options including real wood, composite, and vinyl, each selected for durability in Central Texas climate. The basswood shutters provide natural insulation properties that help regulate your home’s temperature, while composite options resist moisture and warping in humid conditions.
Every installation includes custom trim matching, precise measurements, and professional fitting that eliminates the bulky frames and gaps you see with mass-produced alternatives. Since 94% of New Sweden homes were built after 1999, we’re experienced with modern window configurations and construction methods that ensure seamless integration with your home’s architecture.
Most shutter installations in New Sweden take between a few hours to a full day, depending on the number of windows. The timeline starts after we take final measurements at your home.
Our Texas manufacturing facility typically needs about four weeks to custom-craft your shutters. This isn’t an off-the-shelf product—each shutter is built specifically for your windows with exact measurements and custom paint or stain matching. Once your shutters are ready, our installation team contacts you directly to schedule the installation. The actual installation process is efficient because we handle all the prep work and use experienced professionals who specialize in plantation shutters.
For New Sweden’s climate, we recommend either premium basswood or composite materials. Basswood is the gold standard for luxury shutters—it has tight grain, natural insulation properties, and handles Texas temperature swings beautifully when properly finished with quality paint or stain.
Composite shutters are excellent for high-humidity areas like bathrooms and kitchens. They resist moisture and warping while maintaining the look of real wood. Both options outperform cheaper alternatives like PVC or laminated materials that can fade, chip, or warp in our intense Texas sun and humidity. We help you choose the right material based on your specific windows, budget, and maintenance preferences during your consultation.
Yes, quality plantation shutters provide significant insulation benefits that show up on your energy bills. The solid construction creates an additional barrier against heat transfer, keeping your home cooler in summer and warmer during Texas cold snaps.
Real wood shutters have natural insulating properties, while the adjustable louvers let you control airflow and light throughout the day. You can block harsh afternoon sun while still maintaining ventilation, which reduces the load on your HVAC system. Many of our New Sweden customers report noticeable differences in their energy costs, especially during peak summer months when air conditioning usage is highest. The investment in quality shutters often pays for itself over time through reduced energy consumption.
Custom shutters are measured, designed, and built specifically for your windows, while mass-produced shutters use standard sizes that require bulky frames to fit properly. With custom shutters, we match your existing trim profiles and paint colors exactly, so they look like original architectural features.
Mass-produced shutters often create that “box” effect on your windowsill and rarely align properly with your home’s existing woodwork. They’re typically made with cheaper materials overseas and lack the precision fitting that prevents gaps, misalignment, and operational issues. Custom shutters cost about the same as quality mass-produced options, but the difference in appearance, function, and longevity is dramatic. You’re getting furniture-quality window treatments built to last decades, not temporary solutions.
Absolutely. We handle all window configurations common in New Sweden homes, including standard rectangles, arched windows, bay windows, and specialty shapes. Since most homes in your area were built after 1999, we’re very familiar with modern window styles and construction methods.
Unusual situations like tilt-in windows, windows over kitchen sinks, or large picture windows aren’t problems for our installation team. We create custom solutions for each scenario, ensuring proper operation and appearance regardless of your window type. During your consultation, we’ll assess each window and explain exactly how we’ll handle any unique challenges. Our goal is seamless integration that makes the shutters look like they were designed with your home.
We stand behind both our shutters and installation work with comprehensive warranty coverage. The specific warranty terms depend on the materials you choose, but we cover manufacturing defects, installation issues, and premature wear under normal use.
What’s important is that we’re a local company with over a decade of experience in the area. We’re not going anywhere, so you can count on us for any service needs down the road. We use our own installation team rather than subcontractors, which means we control the quality from start to finish. If any issues arise during or after installation, we handle them directly without passing you between different companies or technicians.
