Default Recently Installed Plantation Shutters?

Have any of you recently had plantation shutters installed? Looking at other threads on this topic it looks like the companies that people have used in the past may or may not still be credible or even in business.

Who did you use recently? Have any of you had the developer install plantation shutters during your build?

Thanks.

We used the same, Blind Plus Shutters, and they look great. We had the living room, dining room and master bedroom done and they fit perfect. I'd certainly use them again.

Yes. We had the whole house done including the sliding glass doors. Took about 8 weeks for delivery but they were installed in a couple of hours.

We used Just Shutters Call Steve Rydell @352-391-8101. Good product (Norman shutters), great price and great installation. We researched about 5 companies, settled on Steve because of the first and second reasons and found we were thrilled with the 3rd.

I had them done about 5 years ago. Whomever you use, make sure you can tilt your windows in to clean. I had them cut a notch down the sash so I can clean them

48 Hour Blinds - had them installed prior to moving in. They were able to measure during the build. No complaints.

We bought some of our plantation shutters through Home Depot. They provided a sub-contractor to install them. We bought other plantation shutters from a company advertising in the newspaper. The Home Depot shutters are a far superior product.

We are using 48 Hr Blinds. Two reasons: Cost was lower, and good quality. Two issues: When they installed the blinds, the sheetrock on the inside sills cracked. That may be more of an issue of construction. The time it took to get the blinds from the factory. Still waiting on the shutters for our arched window (since August). Regardless, we would use them again.

Had them 2 weeks ago in our CYV on all windows (not the sliders). Went through Home Depot who use Rockwood Shutters. The rep arrived with her mobile showroom, very knowledgeable & did first measure & price quote there & then. No pressurised sale either. Then installer came following week for final exact measurements & 4 weeks later we had the installation which took 3 hours. Very pleased & would highly recommend. I made initial free appointment via Home Depot website.
