Housemos: Are shutters worth it for windows?
Poast new message in this thread
Date: June 20th, 2018 5:48 PM Author: navy chapel Are there any cheap brands I should be looking at? Some shutter company came by and quoted $15k for the whole house. I laughed. Heard of Norman shutters? They seem cheaper. Will this really add resale to my house? (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=4006733&forum_id=2#36280438) |

Date: June 20th, 2018 5:49 PM Author: silver lay codepig Shutters are just decorative. I wouldn't go super expensive but I've never had to buy any. I mean do the $15k ones come with a warranty? Were they recommended by the window people? (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=4006733&forum_id=2#36280448) |
|
Date: June 20th, 2018 5:53 PM Author: navy chapel Yes lifetime warranty. Window people have yet to install but I will ask them.
The other option is honeycomb shades in the whole house except these pesky trapezoid windows in our bedroom that we'll need to shutter. That will be much, much cheaper. |
