Why Choose DIY Shutters?

We often receive calls from customers who would love shutters but have concerns about either the price or the level of Do it Yourself (DIY) skill necessary to achieve the look they want. So why should you pick self-install DIY wood shutters over the other types, and what are the options available to you?

1.Custom made measure and install shutters

A Shutter Expert comes to your home to measure for and install your shutters. This is the most expensive option on the market as you will incur additional costs for measuring and fitting. It's why we believe DIY shutters are the way to go.

2. Big Box ready made stock shutters

Probably the cheapest option, big box DIY stores offer pre-made shutters off the shelf. Because there is no such thing as a standard sized window, these stock DIY window shutters almost always require modifications to the shutters and/or the window recesses.

3. Custom made DIY plantation shutters

Of course, we may be biased, but we think self-install plantation shutters are the perfect compromise between the two. You measure your windows and fit them yourself, giving you huge savings compared to measure and fit services, making them an affordable window shutters option. And with our friendly team of experts and easy-to-follow guides and templates, you'll be surprised at just how simple it is!

We are biased of course, but we think this is the perfect compromise. You measure your windows, we supply instructions and templates to help you get it right, and then you order your DIY shutters online. We still provide all the expert advice and assistance you could possibly need. Contact us to discuss the best style for your window, how to measure, frame profiles, slat widths, shutter colors, and hinges.

With a drill and a hammer you assemble your made to measure frame, fit it to your window and connect the pre-fitted hinges on the shutters to the ones on the frame, and you're done.

With DIY Shutters you get custom shutters for a fraction of the cost of a full Measure and Install service. All you need to do is measure your windows and do some assembly when your shutters arrive. And remember, our expert team and online tools are here to help you every step of the way.
