The windows in Homestead's homes
By age, 3% of Homestead's homes went up before 1950, 19% between 1950 and 1979, 23% between 1980 and 1999 and 55% in 2000 or later.
Half of them are older than 2001, which is the age of window you're most likely measuring here.
In The Hammocks, 14 miles away, 13% of homes are built before 1980, 9 points fewer than here.

Cranks, handles and shallow frames
In the 55% of homes built in 2000 or later, windows are often set close to the room side of the wall, with crank or lever handles. Measure from the glass, or the handle if it sticks out further, to the face of the trim: that depth decides whether you mount inside, outside or on a frame.
Sun almost overhead in summer
At midday in June the sun stands 88° high here, nearly overhead, so south windows take little direct sun at noon; east and west windows take the most, early and late. Choose louver sizes for those first.
Wide windows split into sections
38% of homes are apartments or condos, where windows are often wide. A wide opening is split into several panels joined by T-posts at the window's own mullions, so the shutter lines up with the glass behind it.

Where our shutters fit
Every Shutter Boys shutter is made from solid American poplar to the measurements you take, then shipped to Homestead for you to fit. You choose the mount for each window in the designer, and we check the depth against the louver you pick.
The designer shows the price of each window as you add it, in US dollars.
