We just had the clear view shutters installed 2 weeks ago. One suggestion when you order them check to see if they are a single long slat which some of our neighbors have or more like the true shutter door type shutter. It seems like those that had 48 Hours install them have that type. We also have the plantation shutters that slide on our patio door to the lanai. We LOVE them. We've had so many ask us about them just in the last 2 weeks. Just people going out for a walk, stop by and ask about them. A couple of our neighbors are also planning on ordering them. 48 Hours did not offer these.

The estimates for just the windows 48 Hours was $400 less than Blinds Plus Shutters. We felt the quality was much better, like the color choices and most especially liked the sliding plantation shutters with Blinds Plus Shutters. Oh, and when we made the order Carl put a temporary paper blinds up on all the windows for us so we would have a window covering for the 10 weeks it took for the order to come in. No one else offered to to this.

One last thing, the blinds we have do NOT have that metal railing on the side. A much cleaner look. The blinds we had installed were Norman Blinds.

Have fun shopping for the perfect things for your new home!
