Made to Complement the Home—Not Simply Fit the Window

Well-designed shutters should look like an intentional part of the home’s architecture. Their proportions, panel configuration, finish, and placement all affect the finished appearance.

Each project is made to order using measurements and specifications developed for the individual home. From classic louvered and raised-panel shutters to Bahama shutters, arch tops, and fully custom designs, every detail is selected to create a balanced, finished exterior.

Why Custom Matters

The Difference is in the Proportion & Detail

Stock shutters are produced in predetermined dimensions, which can result in shutters that appear too narrow, too short, or out of scale with the windows they frame. Custom shutters are designed around the opening and the architecture of the home.

Exterior Shutter Co. considers window dimensions, shutter placement, panel proportions, mounting conditions, exterior finishes, and surrounding architectural details before the shutters are built. The result is a more cohesive appearance that looks appropriate for the home rather than added as an afterthought.

How It Works

A Thoughtful Process from Design Through Installation

1
Project Consultation
Tell us about the home, the windows involved, your preferred style, and where you are in the construction or renovation process. Photos, plans, and inspiration images are helpful but not required.
2
Design and Measurements
We evaluate the openings, recommend appropriate proportions and configurations, and finalize the style, material, finish, hardware, and installation approach.
3
Made-to-Order Fabrication
Your shutters are produced for the specific project in our Decatur, Texas workshop—not selected from a standard inventory.
4
Finishing and Installation
Once completed, the shutters are prepared in the approved finish and professionally installed for a clean, properly aligned result.

FAQ

Common Questions

How much do custom wood shutters cost?

Pricing depends on the shutter style, dimensions, material, finish, hardware, installation conditions, and number of openings involved. After learning more about your project and confirming the necessary measurements, we provide a detailed estimate based on the selected design.

Our shutters are made for the dimensions, style, and installation conditions of the individual home. This allows the shutter proportions, panel configuration, finish, and placement to complement the architecture instead of being limited to standard retail sizes.

Yes. You do not need to know exactly what style or configuration you need before contacting us. We consider the home’s architecture, window proportions, exterior materials, finish colors, and your design preferences before recommending options.

Yes. We can create new shutters to replace undersized, deteriorated, or outdated shutters and help correct proportions or styles that do not suit the home.

Yes. We can match nearly any paint color or stain tone, including custom matches to your trim, door, or brick. If you’re working with a designer or builder’s color palette, we’ll build to that spec.

Depending on the design and installation requirements, shutters may be created as fixed architectural accents or as operable shutters mounted with functional hardware. We will help determine the appropriate option for the home and opening.

We’re familiar with the design guidelines of many DFW-area HOAs and can provide the drawings or spec sheets most review boards ask for. You’ll still need to submit for your own approval, but we make sure you have what you need.

A member of our team visits your home to measure every window by hand. Custom shutters are only as good as the measurements behind them, so we don’t rely on photos or rough estimates.

Yes. We work with homeowners, builders, remodelers, architects, and designers on custom homes and renovation projects throughout the DFW area. We can review plans, discuss finish specifications, verify field measurements, and coordinate production and installation with the construction schedule.

It is best to involve us once the exterior design and window specifications are established but early enough to coordinate sizing, finishes, mounting conditions, and production timing. Field measurements may still be required once the relevant exterior surfaces are complete.

We serve Dallas–Fort Worth and the surrounding areas. Get in touch with your address and we can confirm we cover your location.
