Yes, material is one of the bigger factors in price. Wood, basswood, poly (some call it vinyl), and knotty alder each carry different costs, and we'll walk you through the trade-offs so you can choose what fits your budget and the room.

It depends on the room. Poly (some call it vinyl) holds up best in bathrooms, laundry rooms, and kitchens where there's moisture, while wood, basswood, and knotty alder are popular for living areas, bedrooms, and offices where you want a warmer, natural look. We'll recommend the best fit during your estimate.

We build with solid wood, basswood, poly, and knotty alder, all made to hold up to Idaho's dry climate and temperature swings. Each material is available across our full range of colors and finishes.

Most of our customers pay us through Venmo.  However we accept cash, checks, and all major credit cards. Ask your estimator about current financing options if you'd like to spread payments out over time.

Yes, we can manufacture shutters for French doors and sliding glass doors. With French doors, the shutter is mounted directly onto the door itself. In the case of sliding glass doors, there are a couple of mounting options. One way is to mount the shutters on hinges so that they fold off to the side of the sliding glass door when opened. They can also be mounted on an overhead track and slide back and forth in a by-pass or a bi-fold type system.

Yes, Shutter Crafts can custom build a shutter to fit virtually any window opening. This includes arch tops, rake tops, triangles, octagons, circles, and trapezoids. We can also build a shutter to any design that you may have in mind. Visit our photo gallery for examples.

Yes, along with the normal centered tilt rod, we also offer a hidden louver control rod. This option tends to offer greater visibility through the shutter, especially with very narrow shutters.

All of our paint and stain finishes are custom matched to the sample provided to us by the homeowner, for no extra charge.

No, we have trained employees who will install the shutters in your home. Local installations are provided free of charge.

Plantation shutters can be cleaned by using a slightly damp cloth. Simply open up the shutter and wipe the louvers from the backside. There are no special cleaning products or tools needed.
