Shutter BoysCustom shutters in Victoria
Made to measure for Victoria
Owners live in 40% of Victoria's homes, and 64% of the housing was built in 1980 or earlier, so window sizes here vary from street to street.
Made to measure in poplar, a 36 × 48 in window is $460 – $570 CAD and a 48 × 60 in window is $770 – $950 CAD, before tax and shipping, with flat moulding and 3½ in louvers.

Sizes stock shutters don’t come in
In a city where 64% of homes are decades old, windows rarely match the few sizes ready-made shutters are sold in. Every Shutter Boys shutter is built to the width and height you measure, to the nearest ⅛ in.
Renting
60% of homes are rented. Shutters screw into the frame, so ask your landlord first; taking them down later leaves screw holes to fill.
Colour to match your trim
White is our standard finish. Any other paint colour or stain is a colour match: name it, or send a photo of the trim, and the designer draws the shutter in that colour.
Made to Victoria's window sizes
44% of Victoria's homes have one bedroom or none and 8% have four or more. Small homes outnumber large ones, with wide window walls in place of many separate windows.
Four-bedroom homes are less common here than in any other of the 167 Canadian cities we have figures for. In Saanich, 3 km away, 14% of homes have one bedroom or none, fewer than here.
