Off-the-shelf plantation shutters don't exist for most Florida homes — and shouldn't. Window openings vary by 1/2-inch or more between siblings in the same room, especially in older construction. Custom plantation shutters are the only way to get the tight light-control, clean visual lines, and decade-plus durability you actually want.
'Custom' gets used loosely in the window-treatment industry — sometimes it means 'we picked from a catalog of 24 standard sizes.' At ShutterUp it means measured-on-site, built-to-spec, every panel unique to your opening. Our designer comes to your home, measures every window to within 1/16-inch, photographs orientation and obstructions, and builds a written specification. That spec goes to our Fort Myers factory where craftsmen on our payroll build your panels by hand.
Standard rectangle, sure. But also: arched windows, half-rounds, octagons, trapezoids, French doors with side lights, sliding doors with center-meet posts, picture windows with surrounding casement awnings. We measure each non-standard opening with templating, build paper or plywood mockups when needed, and send the spec to manufacturing with detailed shop drawings. The result: shutters that look intentional, not improvised.
Because we build in our own factory rather than ordering from overseas, custom orders typically ship in 4-6 weeks. Comparable custom orders from national brands run 8-12 weeks (or longer when there are international shipping delays). For Florida homeowners who decide they want plantation shutters and want them this season, that timeline matters.
Every plantation shutter we sell is built in our Fort Myers, FL factory by craftsmen on our payroll, then installed by our W-2 install team. The same company that built it is the company that installs it and the company that warranties it. That's why our lifetime warranty is genuinely lifetime.
Lifetime warranty on every plantation shutter we install. Naples, Fort Myers, Sarasota, Cape Coral, and the entire Florida coast.
