We got inspired this week because of the upcoming holidays and New Year holiday season. We knew most families will be celebrating Christmas around December 1st and then moving onto Hanukkah the following day which makes us thinking…. Is anyone planning to put on some shutters before winter arrives???
Well, I am always surprised with the amount of people who purchase quality products but fail to install them correctly which leads many homeowners having issues like cracks, leaks problems, warping. So today we thought why not go through every little detail on installing your own custom manufactured Cali shutters and provide guidelines / tips on getting the best result for yourself, your family and home/condominium. As well keep in touch every step of the way with us during the entire project and get updates as things come along.
This guide covers everything from choosing quality manufacturers, design options & color choices, material options, type of fastening system and much more. All these info should help you find the perfect combination for your home or condo.

In this post I will be reviewing some of the most popular types of shutters used in residential building projects across California as well as discussing some interesting industry predictions and market updates that will impact your choice of shutters for use on commercial buildings and commercial properties like high rise condominium complexes / apartments.
One thing that is becoming increasingly apparent is the fact that wood products seem to hold the lead as far as residential window treatments go. As many people become aware of the health benefits associated with being able to sleep comfortably inside without having to worry about being exposed to harmful UV rays while they rest, the popularity of wooden windows continues to increase. Wood is naturally resistant to rot, mold growth and insects, which makes them attractive for homes that face harsh climates and/or areas prone to earthquakes, landslides and floods.
Another reason why homeowners continue to rely upon wood products as part of their home improvement budgets is due to the fact that wood tends to be relatively inexpensive, especially when compared to other options available today, such as vinyl siding, fiberglass exterior insulation panels, aluminum framed doors, and stainless steel appliances. However, despite the lower cost of installing wood shutters than its counterparts mentioned above, wood remains somewhat expensive, particularly as a result of the labor required to make them custom fit and installable. Because these factors tend to drive up the price tag considerably, consumers often opt to purchase ready made designs instead of spending the extra cash necessary to customize wood blinds, shades, roller screens, roman shades, and pleated shades to meet specific design preferences and needs.

We are glad to present our newest update “How to Select the Perfect Wooden Flooring for Your House?” We hope that this guide helps you determine whether laminate floor or solid wood floor should suit your family’s requirements.
Laminate floors, though less natural than real hardwood, is considered to be extremely durable and practical because they come in various colours and patterns for different rooms. They usually are easier to maintain than hardwood flooring, but they are still susceptible to scratches, stains, stains, wear and tear, and moisture damage.

In this 2020 edition of my guide series I am covering some really interesting updates and changes that will be happening soon in both manufacturing and customer expectations for shutters.
First things first though…
California Shutters are no longer just a “nice thing to put on your windows because they block light” like they used to be 10 years ago. They became more than that. We started offering custom designs to our customers who wanted certain style and colors. We began adding some unique options including faux timber blinds and vinyl shades along with shutters. Our sales team was able to take advantage of those opportunities while continuing to maintain high service levels for our current stock products and still providing innovative solutions to meet evolving market needs. Now we offer the widest range of styles and sizes available for all kinds, shapes and models of windows and doors.
What happened in these past few years? More people decided to use shutters!
I remember when I did research back in 2011 and 2012 with my original guide, that only 2% of homes had them installed yet. Today 20%-30% of homes install shutters! Even larger percentages of condo buildings and commercial projects are installing shutters today! My guess is the trend continues to climb every year due to changing building codes and regulations requiring proper insulation, energy efficiency measures and improved overall quality of construction. Nowadays most home builders, architects, contractors and other professionals recommend shutters in addition to window treatments like drapes or vertical blinds to help achieve better indoor air quality through increased natural lighting, privacy, thermal protection and noise reduction. Many homeowners also love the idea of being able to customize their homes without having to buy expensive paint schemes or costly remodeling projects. If you aren’t convinced yet but would still like to learn more about California Shutter benefits check out http://www.shuttersforcalifornia.net/benefits/.
Here’s the good news….we got bigger and better!
We added another 100″ width and 4 different models to our line of California shutter lines. All four new model ranges include both classic traditional wooden shutters as well as premium metal composite alternatives.

Today’s home technology continues to evolve quickly and offers many benefits. Some people still enjoy the classic aesthetics associated with wooden shutters but those who prefer vinyl will find these offer numerous advantages including improved energy efficiency, weather resistance, lower maintenance costs, greater versatility and modern style. While homeowners should weigh each benefit against the other potential options available they must be practical in their decision making and understand how certain factors would impact them and other aspects of their lives.
Vinyl shutters provide several advantages to homeowners; however some drawbacks have become apparent since the first generation was introduced. Consumers today consider vinyl shutters more aesthetically pleasing than ever before. If you live somewhere with extreme temperatures like Florida for example, then you really appreciate having doors remain closed during summer months without worrying about heat escaping through windows. However, while most manufacturers utilize UV stabilized polyester film for protecting against damaging sunlight, this material shows signs of wear after years of use due to exposure to harsh ultraviolet rays which increases the risk of rot and warping. As a homeowner, especially if you have children, I highly recommend installing vinyl shutters. They’re extremely affordable and the long lifespan makes them worth every penny.
What Should Be Included When Choosing Your Vinyl Shutter Color?
When choosing colors, remember that black is typically the color associated with older homes and will appear less attractive in contrast with newer décor products featuring lighter tones. For instance, a white door looks great with either light gray or cream colored window frames, whereas darker shades tend to work better with dark paint finishes. One thing to keep in mind is that if the house had aluminum siding installed previously, light hues shouldn’t clash with them because it appears similar.
In our experience, people tend to love green shutters more when used with bright cherry cabinets inside as opposed to neutral ones. Conversely, yellow tends to complement red cabinetry rather well. A few extra details are always appreciated and include recessed glass along with custom trim accents around doors and windows. These details won’t go unnoticed and could enhance curb appeal tremendously.

I am personally excited for the next decade because my wife and I will be getting older and needing some “extra security” around us; this includes windows, doors, fireplaces, closets, walls, floors—even ceilings. We are going to live longer but we aren’t going anywhere soon. So, I do expect many improvements to these systems—and hopefully even more innovations—that help give us peace of mind.
While windows and especially shutters are definitely popular with homeowners worldwide, they are still relatively unknown to most contractors who install them.
Because this topic was covered well in several other blogs and articles already available, I won’t go through each part. Instead here is a quick summary.
To get started, first understand what the different types of Cali Shutters are made out of and which ones work better.
Then read about the benefits of having shutters installed—aside from just helping keep your home comfortable during cold months, why should you consider installing shutters? They protect homes and communities against natural disasters like hurricanes, wildfires, earthquakes, tornadoes, flash floods, hail storms & flooding and snowstorms like blizzards. Plus, shutters increase resale value by protecting homes from UV rays and heat loss as well as keeping air pollution away without sacrificing views/sunlight. Additionally, shutters prevent noise, dust, humidity & light from coming inside so people feel less stressed while living indoors (noise), and they save energy.
Most importantly though, shutting down your windows is one of the easiest ways to ensure everyone stays healthy both physically and mentally during the outbreak. And besides providing protection from pathogens and other pollutants, closing windows helps curb carbon dioxide levels in order to reduce global warming. Also known as the greenhouse effect, rising temperatures due to gases being emitted to trap heat in the atmosphere cause sea level rise, drought conditions and severe weather events. If enough of these take place as predicted, we would see climate changes leading to destruction of species habitats and coastal cities could become uninhabitable.

In this guide I am going to cover some great tips and tricks on choosing and installing shutters. Here’s why you should install them
They offer protection from sun rays.
This will keep heat away from your floors and reduce heating bills. Plus they block noise making these ideal during sleeping hours.

What Makes Us Unique From Other Contractors?
There are many different contractors out there, but few understand our company culture and core values. Here are four ways in which we stand apart from other companies:
1. Personalized Service.

If you own a home or condo, this guide will take care of everything you’ll need to install shutters to improve energy efficiency while adding curb appeal and privacy for your property. We’ve selected some of the top brands available today to help you meet whatever needs you may face during those upcoming years! Whether you’re interested in sliding shutters, French doors or custom shutters made exclusively for your home’s unique style, these products will work beautifully.
In addition, we’ve created a series of short videos below showing each type of shutter we carry along with tips & tricks on installing them correctly, which should answer most questions you may encounter during your project. Watch closely to see just how easy they really are!
Best Sellers include…
All Shapes: Our All Shapes collection consists of four types of shutters (with various options like sliders). Designed specifically for small spaces (like condos), all shapes come standard with double battens for enhanced strength to withstand wind pressure. These shutters provide exceptional light control, offering both sheer curtains and blackout blind functions depending upon the size of the slider panels! Learn More →
Custom Clad Shutters: Our Custom Clads lineup includes a complete range of shutter styles ranging in thicknesses through 20mm for large windows and 30mm for smaller ones. Because of their versatility, many homeowners find themselves repurposing old window treatments — especially after building exterior shuttering around their existing windows. We offer several different color choices per profile to coordinate seamlessly with other areas in your house. Learn More →
French Door Shutters: If you want to upgrade a boring door frame but still maintain good airflow without blocking sunlight or rain, consider upgrading to a pair of French Door Shutters instead. Many people are surprised to learn just how effective these products actually are, helping keep heat loss down significantly while increasing thermal comfort levels inside. And because they aren’t attached vertically to a single wall, french doors allow plenty of natural air movement for ventilation purposes. Aesthetically speaking, they give a contemporary look perfect to complement more traditional designs and feature finishes including painted wooden profiles and faux stucco.

Shutterboy makes some great doors but they also get most of our business because of customer service and local installs. We are proud of that fact right now since we are doing better than ever. But I will tell you why shuttering is not just another door replacement project. Here are some facts that few people talk about.
First, the doors should be customized to each house. If this sounds weird, please explain why it isn’t normal. Doors serve multiple purposes; including keeping heat/cooling inside your home /condo., security, privacy, the ability to control light through various windows & doors throughout the day, privacy, and many other uses. A lot goes into designing a custom room without a window. Think about having to take down and install shutters every couple months that could cost you hundreds per month depending on size and location. Most companies either offer large “off the shelf” options or small “custom made”.
Second, a quality shuttered door is NOT like vinyl siding. It does NOT come back together well after being taken apart…at least my experience tells me it won’t. A good shuttered door requires maintenance which includes proper cleaning, lubrication, alignment of hinges, and tightening screws periodically. And to top it all off, no matter how nice they make them, shutters eventually fade and lose color due to sun exposure and weather conditions.
Third, it is almost impossible to find someone who knows anything about installing shutters in Sacramento, especially ones near where you live. They might try and convince you to use something else but trust me when I say these things only go downhill once the job begins. Why would anyone put themselves through those trials without a guarantee of getting something installed correctly for years??? The industry was built around one thing, and that’s selling products not providing solutions. As soon as you buy from those types of dealers, you’re stuck paying huge commissions for mediocre work. Nowadays it seems everyone wants to sell stuff you don’t really NEED. My solution is to stick with me and I’ll show you how to achieve perfection.
Fourth, shutters and exterior insulation systems (EIS’S), although expensive upfront, are worth it when you consider the long term savings.

California shutters are made of either pine, cedar, redwood or composite material. They provide energy efficient protection against heat gain and cold loss while allowing natural light to enter through them during daytime and blocking sunlight in the evening.
What makes California shutters great products is they offer many design options. From traditional plantation style windows to French doors to bay windows; California shutters come in a wide array of styles and designs. And because they are available in multiple colors, patterns and materials, homeowners have lots of choices to pick.
California shuttering is an affordable alternative to vinyl siding, fiberglass insulation and other window treatments. The main advantage to California shutter is they are maintenance free. Unlike the other solutions mentioned above which must be painted periodically, California shutters will only need some occasional cleaning.
If you’re considering buying California Shutters for your home or condo then this guide should help you get an idea of what’s possible, and what to keep an eye out for in future updates and improvements.

We’ve talked in past posts about the importance of customer service and customer advocacy on your company website — but what does “customer care” really mean, exactly, when it comes to building trust among customers?
In a word, authenticity. When I talk to companies about the role of customer service on their websites (and elsewhere), I always ask them to describe a specific experience they had recently, whether good or bad. If I hear a consistent answer along these lines—something like, “My recent interactions with X Company resulted in me feeling frustrated” or “I felt taken advantaged of”—then I know we’re starting down the road to authentic communication. Authentic communication happens when you treat people with respect and empathy, rather than condescension and disrespect. Authenticity isn’t just about being nice. Being real requires that you understand people’s problems, acknowledge what happened, apologize sincerely, and take responsibility for fixing things going forward.

How do I install shutters? Do they fit my window frame perfectly?! This guide answers these questions while highlighting some of the top quality materials used to improve efficiency and beauty. We hope this will be useful to those who need help installing their first pair of shutters ever!!
What kinds of windows should I use when choosing shutters?
This guide focuses mainly around what type of shuttering would work best with certain types of windows including sliding glass doors, double hung, bay, casement, patio door, picture window/sliding screens.
When buying shutters what factors come into play when making decisions?
Quality and design are usually the most important things buyers should be thinking about when selecting shutters. However other considerations include ease & flexibility of operation, price, safety, style, function and aesthetic appeal.
Are custom made shutters still popular?
Yes, but less than previously due to increasing popularity of prefabricated options.
Who makes better quality custom shutters?
If you’re asking who’s going to provide you better quality products, then obviously the answer depends upon many variables. For instance: Who manufactures quality shutters? Is that company able to consistently supply high quality products that meet your needs? If yes, then great. Otherwise, don’t hesitate because some companies only produce cheap shutters.
Is it necessary to install shingles on wood sliders?
Yes. Shivering is typically recommended during the winter months in order to reduce heat loss through the screen and keep condensation away from them. Also note the weather conditions that surround your area!
