There’s nothing worse than spending your hard-earned money on your home, only to end up disappointed. Unfortunately, this is exactly what happens to many Austin-area homeowners who order imported shutters. As shutter experts in Austin, we see this far more often than we’d like. When it happens, homeowners are left with two choices: live with the mistake or make the decision to correct it with our Texas Made Shutters.

In this case, our experienced Design Consultant Brittany worked with a homeowner who needed to replace poorly made imported shutters with our locally crafted, Totally Texan Shutters. The difference was immediately noticeable—not just in quality, but in fit, finish, and overall craftsmanship.
Imported Shutters: See the Problems
Right away, we noticed a number of issues:
- Improper sizing
- Poor installation
- Missing shutters
- Incorrect mounting
One of the biggest issues with the imported shutters was improper sizing and installation. A window that was originally supposed to be included in the order was never delivered, leaving the homeowner with unanswered questions and unresolved frustration. In other areas of the home, the imported shutters had been mounted outside the window casing rather than flush within it—something the homeowner did not want but was told was the only option.
Texas-Made Shutters: Quality & Precision
After seeing the quality and precision of our Texas Made Shutters installed elsewhere in the home, the homeowner recognized the difference and chose to move forward with replacing the remaining imported shutters. The result was a cohesive, custom look that matched her expectations from the start.
