Have a customer with real wooden shutters. 3 pairs are rotting and need replacement. Where are you guys ordering your shutters? I haven't done wood shutters in over 10 years. Also wondering if they make the same thing in pvc.

Got them at the lumberyard, solid wood, and then the painter went to town two coats of primer two coats of finish, if it’s a real wood, technically it’s installed backwards, so when it’s closed, it prevents water from hitting the window.

My client laughed and said she wanted it only partially authentic😂

Made my own for a client. Not very helpful though 😝

We made 1 set of louvered because they were so narrow, 8" I think. Full day to make 1 set and then paint, silly. One place online they were about $700 for pvc and $500 for cedar. Price seems in line just not sure what I'm getting until it shows up.
 
They can be ordered from most lumberyards. Even Home Depot.

The PVC ones are in stock at Home Depot/Lowes/Menards etc.

I remove them permanently from every house I've ever owned because they are a magnet for Yellow Jacket nests.
