Michael from La Mesa, California is a bit of a home improvement buff and as such, installing shutters was a piece of cake. Much of the work that he has undertaken in his La Mesa home he has done himself. This included painstakingly replacing the old original windows with modern windows, while staying true to the original design. As he continue to tell us,
"We knew we wanted the clean look of classic plantation shutters. With the project to remodel and renovate my home I have taken time to look for quality products at a good price. So, looking online to buy my shutters was natural.
I did look for plantation shutters in several of the big box home improvment stores but was unsuccessful in my search.
I found The Shutter Store just searching online. The feature that stood out to me was the interactive shutter CAD drawing which showed how the shutters would look as a configured the design on screen. I entered the sizes of my windows and the design that I wanted and the CAD feature was really helpful."
The photos tell the story Michael. They look fantastic. I can see that you've used our deco Z frame which is a fantastically easy frame to acquire great results. Shutters are ideal to fit when you are undertaking a window replacement or when you have a lots of other remodeling work going on.
On your windows, the use of the deco Z frame has the effect of creating trim around the window and gives a really neat and professional finish to the job.
Lastly, the bifolding panels are perfect as you can fold the panels off the window neatly on the side. However, when you have the panels closed over, the large 3 1/2" louvers still allow plenty of light into you home.
Great work and thanks for sharing your story with us.
