Winter outside
124 freezing nights a year mean ice and snow on anything mounted outside. Interior shutters stay out of the weather entirely and are adjusted from the room.
Changes to the outside of a house
Exterior shutters change how a house looks from the street, so an HOA or city may need to approve them. Interior shutters don't.
Condos and apartments
30% of homes are in multi-unit buildings, where the outside walls belong to the building. Exterior shutters usually aren't an option there; interior shutters are.
Counting the openings in a Cheektowaga home
Aluminum shutters are usually priced per opening. The middle detached house has 10 to 15 windows, before patio doors and basement windows.
The median Cheektowaga home is valued at $185,500 by its owners. In Buffalo, 6 miles away, the median is $164,200, lower than here.
