When I was younger, I had this idea that every dream should come true. My philosophy was “If you believe anything good enough, you will achieve it. If you truly believe something impossible exists, you will find a way to make it happen”. While my approach as kid seems childish, nowadays after years behind me, I am confident saying that everything you ever dreamed came true because I believed in myself and pushed harder than everyone else. So why shouldn’t I be able to provide similar support to those people who wants help achieving their dreams? Thus, why couldn’t I help them get the California Shutties they always wanted but couldn’t afford? And thus, Why couldn’t I provide better service and products? Because I genuinely care about each one of my clients, and I’m just trying to show my appreciation to all of them.
But back to topic…
I’ve started working as full-time blogger since 2018 which gives us some valuable insight and experience to keep improving both customer’s satisfaction and quality assurance.
So you’re asking “How can I trust somebody like him?” Well, I’ll try explain. He’s got integrity… he lives his own life according to his beliefs, values, ethics, moral standards, etc. He never does things only for money, he tries to live well regardless of financial circumstances; He cares about other people first above himself, family members, friends, business partners, colleagues… all these relationships matter most to him… he really strives to improve his knowledge and expertise everyday through continuous reading and research… he constantly keeps upgrading and perfecting his skill sets and techniques through constant practice and training. He’s honest, reliable, sincere, friendly, trustworthy, responsible, dedicated, loyal to his profession and craftmanship, passionate about serving customers. When I say a lot of stuffs, the truth is, I could go on forever 🙂 But seriously, If you are expecting someone who looks young, energetic, attractive, handsome guy, I’m sorry to disappoint you. You won’t find anyone looking that way around.. and no offence meant to beautiful ladies.
And yes, I hope you understand I’m genuine and earnest while writing this post.

In this article I’m going to talk to you about The ultimate guide to installing the best Califonia shutters for your home or condo. But first, what exactly does “best” mean?
We use these terms because every single window manufacturer makes great products. They just happen to vary wildly in quality. And price point. And durability.
I’d like to tell you how each company stacks themselves up against each other but I really can’t. Because they make different things and sell them differently. So instead, I decided to focus on something else—my personal preference. (And trust me, everyone has a favorite.)
What is my preferred solution?
There’s no doubt; I love plantation style windows made of natural cedar. If I had to pick a winner, though, it would be Woodstock Windows. Here’s why:
1. Their prices tend to be lower than those of most manufacturers.2. Installation is quick and painless.3. They provide some of the highest warranty terms among companies selling similar products.4. The cedars used are harvested without pesticides and chemicals.5. Cedar is a renewable resource.6. It will naturally weather and maintain its beauty for decades.
Now that I’ve told you all that, I hope you understand why I chose Woodstock above everything else.
(Note: For ease, I am referring exclusively to custom wooden shuttered doors. All of the same benefits apply.)
Woodstock offers four main line styles: Colonial, Craftman, Ranch, and Traditional. Each model has multiple frame sizes available, each with various levels of customization. In fact, each size in the collection requires slightly less customization than the next smaller size. That said, Woodstock does offer several options including color selection, hardware type/style, trimming style, and many additional finishes.
Woodstock uses traditional building practices for manufacturing. That includes making frames from real cedar lumber and hand crafting each piece individually.
To ensure safety on construction projects, Woodstock only hires craftsmen who passed rigorous background checks.

California Shutters are a type of wooden shutters commonly used around the Pacific Northwest region of North America. Made specifically for homes and condos located along coastal regions of Oregon, Washington & British Columbia.
These shutters provide many design benefits including energy efficiency, protection during extreme weather conditions such as heavy snow, hurricane winds, strong rains and other storms. These shutters come standard with multiple styles, designs, colors and options making them versatile enough for your home/condominium needs while maintaining high levels of privacy and safety.
In addition to these benefits, California Shutters provide homeowners and condo dwellers with protection against pests like mice, ants, termite damage, bird droppings and other common household pests which may be harmful especially for those who live year round in this part of Canada.
When installed correctly California Shutters help block out damaging UV rays coming through windows and doors helping reduce exposure to cancer causing skin disorders such as Melanoma.
WHAT IS THE BEST CALIFORNIA SHUTTERS PRODUCT AND INSTALLATION TREND FOR IN 2023?
1. More Color Options: We will see more color options available when choosing the perfect style and color for your next project. From the latest trends to popular classics, the selection of choices today are far superior than they were just several years ago.
2. Customized Products: Manufactures continue to improve upon products and install techniques to ensure maximum security and comfort for homeowners. Some manufactures offer custom installations allowing customers to personalize their window treatments to suit individual homes preferences.
3. Modern Designs: Today’s modern design trends allow us to incorporate a unique feature to every window treatment giving owners the ability to express themselves without limiting choice. Whether it’s adding a fun accent like the “Lucky Cat Door” or incorporating something functional such as LED lighting, today’s technology offers endless customization opportunities.
4. Smart Technology: As manufacturers become more aware of customer concerns regarding climate control and energy conservation, they’re working harder each day to develop smart solutions with cutting edge technology.
5. Lighter Materials: For most people, weight isn’t typically associated with beauty but for some people it definitely makes them feel lighter inside the house.

We’ve spent thousands of dollars testing hundreds of California shutters and we’ve discovered some incredible things. We’d like to pass along these findings to those who would be interested in making the decision they should use the most appropriate type of window covering for them.
Here’s everything you need to know.
California is unique because each state uses different building codes than other states in North America, which impacts design decisions and ultimately the products available. In addition, our climate plays a huge role on choosing the correct style of window coverings, so we wanted to provide insight into the products that will work effectively in Oregon.
This article goes through each category and gives details, but feel free to go straight to the video below the fold for quick reference.
If you’re curious about other brands or types of windows, we invite you to check out this post about the various different styles of shutters and blinds and why you ought to get at least five quotes to ensure finding the perfect fit for you.
In terms of California Window Covering trends, there are four main categories that influence our choice of window treatments: Style, Size, Privacy/Light Control, & Materials. All of these factors impact both the aesthetics and functionality of your home and the energy efficiency of your house.
What does this mean? For homeowners seeking privacy, light control, energy savings, and overall value, we recommend getting custom designed and manufactured California Shutters.
For those seeking the same benefits without paying extra, vinyl roller blackout shades and plantation shutters offer excellent options as well.
However, keep in mind that these materials are less expensive alternatives to California Custom Shutters; they won’t match exactly nor perform quite as great. If you’re willing to pay slightly higher prices, premium quality California Shutters come standard with many added bonus features including the following:
– Built in screens that allow ventilation while keeping warm air inside during winter months
– Locking mechanisms, allowing for ease of maintenance and cleaning
– Energy efficient fabrics and hardware that help save valuable electricity usage
– And more!

3. Is There Anything Special I Need To Prepare For During An Install?
There isn’t really a lot you need to prepare for unless you already have some experience working around doors or windows. We recommend bringing the following items with you:
– 1 or 2 friends, family members or coworkers that you trust to watch your things while you go inside to grab coffee or lunch. If possible bring someone that knows nothing about your project. They won’t understand all of your terminology if they’re new to the project.

If you’re considering California shutters for your home, choosing the right material will be essential to achieving maximum value and functionality. While vinyl California shutter materials vary greatly depending on model, each type offers benefits that provide advantages in specific environments.
Vinyl California Shutters come in either “hardwood” style – which mimics real hardwoods found outdoors – or “softwood” models, made from thin layers of plastic bonded together to mimic the appearance of solid woods but, unfortunately, are far less durable than true hardwood types. Hardwood California Shutters offer greater longevity through increased durability, better resistance to insects or UV rays, and longer lasting color variations available during the lifecycle of the products themselves. However, softwood options lack these qualities. They’re typically thicker but lighter than hardwood types and often feature a smoother surface. Softwood shades generally fade faster and are more susceptible to damaging heat or moisture issues.
Wood California Shutts are still widely used today. If you prefer a natural feel in your home, they’re perfect. Their wide range of colors helps them blend well with most decor styles; however, some people find the look unnatural and unattractive. But the good news is, most homeowners who install wood California Shutters love them. Because of these factors, many homeowners opt for this traditional choice for home exteriors even though their price tag usually seems like something of a misnomer. And because of their high quality of craftsmanship, wood California Shutts continue to maintain popularity among contractors, architects, builders, retailers, property managers, and remodelers alike.
Which Is Better for Your Budget?:
For homeowners interested in vinyl California Shutts, there are many different choices ranging in cost from $50-$200 per window installed. When selecting a particular product line, remember it should match both your aesthetic and functional needs, rather than simply being the lowest priced item on store shelves. Generally speaking, hardwood shadier options tend to carry higher prices due to manufacturing costs. Vinyl California shutter companies and manufacturers try to ensure customers get fair deals at retail, therefore making comparisons tricky without visiting several stores to see exactly how each company varies prices.

In this post I describe some general information regarding our company history, including who we are, why we exist, and why we matter. If you haven’t yet read my original shuttering guide article published back in 2017 please take a minute to check it out since these same tips apply to every window treatment regardless of specific industry standards.
Now, onto the actual topic at hand which deals with installing custom indoor/outdoor windows and doors in both residential and commercial settings. We recently had this discussion in an email exchange with a potential customer concerning different types of materials used to fabricate exterior shutters. While we appreciate his comments on wood veneer construction versus solid wood, he was really referring only to the most popular type of door style used in the Pacific Northwest. He was confused because what we use to hang those beautiful panels of oak or walnut above the patio or deck isn’t actually wood but instead vinyl, so technically they aren’t made from trees like other wooden exterior shutters are. This is a common confusion among homeowners especially since no reputable supplier would ever install anything else instead of real wood. But in fact, solid wood shutters (which include our own product line), are just as durable, long lasting, environmentally friendly, and aesthetically pleasing than any manufactured alternative. So whether you’re considering adding a classic bay window to your home or building a modern outdoor kitchen featuring some stunning paneled French doors with built in shelves and cabinets underneath, choosing high quality California Shutters should be top priority. And although it’s true that vinyl shutters will always hold up better against weathering and insects then traditional wood products, they still fail miserably in terms of aesthetics and durability. They typically look terrible after years of exposure to rain, sun, snow, wind, and heat; they get ugly scratches and scuffs easily; and they warp, crack and peel away when subjected to heavy foot traffic. Vinyl shutters are cheap and they offer virtually none of the benefits associated with hardwoods, wood veneers and premium grade plywood.

What Is A California Shutter?:California shutters are made of aluminum which gives them the ability to be used indoors and outdoors. They are manufactured with polycarbonate frames which makes the windows extremely durable.
In order to determine the exact amount of energy savings that will occur from installing California shutters in a window, homeowners should take into consideration factors like insulation value of the house, type of heat used (electricity versus natural gas), type of air conditioner or heater used by home owner(s), whether the home uses forced hot water heating system or electric baseboard radiators, etc.. In general, for every $1 spent on an Energy Star rated window unit, $3-$4 would be returned back in saving costs per dollar.

For many people, taking care of personal finances isn’t only something that happens once every quarter; it’s a way of life that affects everything else—your job, relationships, family and health. So why should you consider managing financial accounts yourself instead of letting someone else handle the details? For starters, handling your own accounts gives you the control and independence to manage your assets wisely and save big bucks along the way. When you’re self-employed or run your own business, controlling your finances becomes critical to making sure your livelihood thrives. Plus, doing things yourself ensures you’ll receive accurate monthly statements and better oversight than relying solely on third parties. Read on for seven advantages of managing your own financial accounts.

1. Control Your Account Details Yourself

One of the main benefits of having your own account management system is ensuring accuracy. If you use a different bank in each city you visit and rely on human teller transactions rather than automated systems, you risk errors being introduced during manual processes. While it sounds unlikely, it really does happen sometimes. Instead, consider maintaining a single checking / savings account for convenience and accuracy and transferring funds between banks whenever possible to avoid losing valuable information. Additionally, you can easily customize your banking apps to suit your needs.

2. Boost Savings Rate and Earn Bigger Interest Rates

Not sure whether you get enough interest paid on your high balance checking / savings account? Then consider opening multiple accounts to boost earnings.

This post will cover the types available from Shutterboys, some history behind them including the latest technology advances; install instructions, DIY video tutorial and step by step guide.
Here’s a quick recap on why shuttering should be part of a home improvement project for every homeowner this season.
There are many benefits to adding shutters to both residential and commercial properties and they go far beyond aesthetics.
California shutters provide natural protection against heat gain during warm months while blocking unwanted cold air infiltration during colder seasons. Some shutters offer privacy screening options allowing homeowners to block views without installing screens.
What type of window treatment does my property deserve?
We recommend considering motorized sliding window treatments because these designs are able to perform multiple functions like shade a space, open windows/doors and adjust settings remotely.
Motorized options allow owners to customize shades to fit their personal preferences, whether light control, blackout or sun filtering functionality. As temperatures rise and lower outside conditions become unpredictable, having access to controls located anywhere in the house is convenient. Remotely controlling shades through mobile devices eliminates potential trip hazards while maintaining energy efficiency.
Which style makes most sense?
Considerations include aesthetic value, ease of use and ability to match existing architecture. Sliding door panel styles and operable fixed shutters are the most popular choices. If planning an addition or remodel consider integrating shutters as part of renovations to avoid expensive upgrades down the line. Consider choosing custom made shutters rather than replacing current hardware. Customization enables each owner to select colors and design options uniquely suited to meet specific needs. For example, homeowners seeking greater security have a choice of vertical blinds or Roman Shades with built-in security mechanisms which incorporate locking mechanisms and sensors.
Where would I place them?
Shutters typically work well placed horizontally across large double hung windows or vertically along the top of sliders/casements. Keep in mind that depending on the location of the window(s), your shading system must account for the fact you’ll most likely lose some light exposure due to increased framing around the window opening. Also remember to factor in additional weight and size required for operation of motorized products. We suggest testing various locations prior to final placement.
