Custom Shutter Design in Port St. Lucie
Built to Fit Your Windows, Not the Other Way Around
Every set of shutters we offer is a custom order, measured and configured specifically for your home. Our shutters are made locally in Florida using durable poly construction reinforced with aluminum, which keeps them looking clean and performing well in the heat and humidity Port St. Lucie homeowners deal with every year. You choose from louver sizes ranging from 3.5 to 5.5 inches, so whether you want a classic look or a more open, airy feel, there is an option that works for your space. Frame styles and optional sill caps let you finish the installation cleanly against your existing trim and window openings. Because everything is measured and made to order, we plan the fit around your actual window openings.
Louver, Tilt, and Frame Options
The Details That Make a Difference in Custom Shutter Design
Choosing interior plantation shutters involves more decisions than most homeowners expect, and that is exactly why we bring everything to you during the consultation. Louver size affects how much light you let in when the shutters are open and how much of your view is visible when they are angled. Smaller louvers give a more traditional appearance; larger louvers open up the sightline and feel more modern. Tilt options matter too. Front tilt uses a visible center rod that is easy to operate; hidden rail tilt removes that rod entirely for a cleaner, uninterrupted panel face. Frame choices determine how the shutter integrates with your window casing, and sill caps cover the gap between the shutter frame and the window sill for a polished, finished look. We walk through all of these choices with you at home, with physical samples in hand, so you can see and feel the difference before committing to an order.

Plantation Shutter Questions
Common Questions About Custom Plantation Shutters
What materials are used in your plantation shutters, and why does that matter in Florida?
The shutters are built from durable poly construction reinforced with aluminum. In a Florida climate, that combination holds up better than untreated wood alternatives because it resists warping, moisture, and the expansion and contraction that comes with heat and humidity. The result is a shutter that keeps its shape and operates smoothly over time without the maintenance concerns that can come with other materials.What louver sizes are available, and how do I choose the right one for my windows?
Louver sizes range from 3.5 to 5.5 inches. Smaller louvers tend to give a more traditional, classic appearance, while larger louvers open up the sightline and feel more contemporary. The right choice depends on your window size, the look you want, and how much light and view you prefer when the shutters are angled open. During the in-home consultation, physical samples are brought to your home so you can compare options in your actual space before deciding.What is the difference between front tilt and hidden rail shutters?
Front tilt shutters have a visible center rod running down the panel face that you use to adjust the louver angle. Hidden rail shutters remove that rod entirely, leaving a clean, uninterrupted panel surface. The hidden rail option is popular with homeowners who prefer a more streamlined look. Both styles operate the same way in terms of light control and privacy; the difference is purely visual. Samples of both are available to review during the in-home consultation.Are these shutters made locally, and how long does it typically take to receive them after ordering?
Yes, the shutters are manufactured locally in Florida. Because they are not imported, production and shipping timelines are more predictable than with distant suppliers. After a confirmed order with the required deposit, shutters typically arrive within two to four weeks. That range is typical rather than a guarantee, and you will be kept informed throughout the production period.What happens during the in-home consultation?
Madelyn and Craig come to your home with physical product samples, walk through louver sizes, tilt options, frame styles, and sill cap choices with you, take precise measurements of your windows, and provide a written estimate before they leave. The consultation is free and covers everything needed to move forward with a custom order if you decide to proceed. There is no showroom to visit and no separate measurement appointment required.Will the owners be present on installation day?
Yes. A trusted installer handles the physical installation work, but Madelyn and Craig personally attend every installation to inspect the work, confirm it meets their standards, and walk you through how your shutters operate. You are not handed off to a crew you have never met. The same people who consulted with you and measured your windows are present on installation day to make sure everything is right.Do sill caps come with every shutter order, or are they an add-on?
Sill caps are an optional addition rather than a standard inclusion on every order. They are used to cover the gap between the shutter frame and the window sill for a cleaner, more finished appearance. Whether they make sense for your installation depends on your window configuration and trim. This is one of the details reviewed during the in-home consultation so you can make an informed decision before the order is placed.Is a deposit required to place a custom shutter order?
Yes, custom orders require a 50% deposit before production begins. This is standard practice for made-to-order products, since each set of shutters is built to the exact measurements and specifications confirmed during your in-home consultation. The remaining balance is due at or around the time of installation.
