Window shutters depend on accurate opening measurements and panel alignment. Interior shutters may mount inside the opening or to a frame around it, and the choice affects both appearance and how the panels swing.
Shutter Installation Scope
This service focuses on compatible interior shutter systems and replacement panels whose dimensions and mounting method fit the opening.
Exterior storm or security shutters can involve different structural, weather, or code requirements and should be evaluated separately.
Site, Fit & Preparation
Window opening dimensions, squareness, depth, trim, handles, and nearby obstructions all affect fit.
Customer-supplied shutters should be checked against the actual opening before installation holes are drilled.
Installation Process
Frames or hinges are positioned according to the shutter design.
Panels are hung and adjusted only after the frame or mounting points are aligned. Multi-panel shutters may need consistent gaps across several hinges.
Adjustment and Final Checks
Panels should open and close through their intended range without striking trim, handles, or adjacent walls.
Louvers, magnets, catches, and ordinary controls can be checked for the movement associated with installation.

Yes, after the opening dimensions and new shutter system are reviewed.
