Wood shutters in Pomona

What real wood offers over vinyl and composite in Pomona's homes and weather, and how our made-to-measure poplar shutters fit in.
Level 1 (flat) moulding, paint stage 1, 3½-inch louvers, tilting open and closed.

Pomona homes and weather, for wood

In Pomona, August averages a high of 92.4°F and December a low of 41.5°F, about 71 days a year reach 90°F, 3 nights fall at or below freezing, and 14.5 inches of precipitation falls in a typical year.

66% of homes were built before 1980 and 12% in 2000 or later; 59% are detached houses.

In Diamond Bar, 5 miles away, 50% of homes are built before 1980, 16 points fewer than here.

Older, out-of-square openings

In a city where 66% of homes are decades old, openings are rarely perfectly square. Wood can be lightly sanded to fit at install; vinyl and most coated composites can't.

How to measure

Hot glass

71 days a year reach 90°F. Wood doesn't soften in heat. Plastic can: Hunter Douglas, which sells vinyl shutters, advises against its vinyl shutters in skylights, where it says they may warp.

Wood vs vinyl

Wood in Pomona's homes

66% of Pomona's homes were built before 1980, and the median home dates from 1967. In a town of older houses, wood trim and casings are the norm, and painted poplar matches them.

The median home is valued at $593,800 by its owners. That is higher than in 77% of the 881 US cities we have figures for. In Diamond Bar, 5 miles away, the median is $902,200, higher than here.
