Shutter BoysCustom shutters in Schenectady
Made to measure for Schenectady
Owners live in 46% of Schenectady's homes, and 85% of the housing was built before 1980, so window sizes here vary from street to street.
Made to measure in poplar, a 36 × 48 in window is $320 – $400 and a 48 × 60 in window is $540 – $660, before tax and shipping, with flat moulding and 3½ in louvers.

Sizes stock shutters don’t come in
In a city where 85% 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
54% 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.
