Wood shutters in Corpus Christi

What real wood offers over vinyl and composite in Corpus Christi'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.

Corpus Christi homes and weather, for wood

In Corpus Christi, August averages a high of 90.5°F and January a low of 48.6°F, about 54 days a year reach 90°F, 1 nights fall at or below freezing, and 34.2 inches of precipitation falls in a typical year.

46% of homes were built before 1980 and 26% in 2000 or later; 64% are detached houses.

In Victoria, 75 miles away, the share of built before 1980 is much the same as here (50%).

Older, out-of-square openings

In a city where 46% 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

Wood in Corpus Christi's homes

46% of Corpus Christi's homes were built before 1980, and the median home dates from 1982. Older and newer homes are mixed here, so check whether your trim is painted or stained before you choose.

The median home is valued at $210,400 by its owners. That is lower than in 85% of the 881 US cities we have figures for. Values in Victoria, 75 miles away, are close: $207,100.
