Anthony Lake, the Design Consultant from Elizabeth Shutters, was professional and pleasant from providing the estimate to following up on my one concern after the installation. The installation was provided by David and Gavino who were very efficient. Entire installation took 4 hours. Because of the odd size of my narrow bathroom windows, the existing window sills jutted out below the plantation shutters which did not give a very clean appearance. All of the other shutters were installed so the shutters were aligned and placed directly on top of the existing window sills. I spoke to Anthony who looked at the bathroom windows and solved the problem by sawing off the portion of the window sills that were extending beyond the width of the shutters. That was the perfect solution. The shutter and window sill look like one piece. I am very happy with the quality of the product as well as the great customer service provided by Anthony.

We had three shutter companies come to give us estimates. The other two companies were pushing vinyl shutters, but we really preferred wood. Elizabeth Shutters was the middle bid, but they had the best design, and Deborah was the most pleasant of the three sales reps. The shutters were delivered and installed in the time frame that had been promised, and they look and work great.

I have not decide who to choose nor what is best for my windows covering, most likely I don't think I will use them.
Description of Work: I called for an estimate. They only provide Shutters made of wood. It's a lot heavier than those poly-Mixed type of material. the price is just 10% cheaper. but you know it need to be painted or service because its very heavy if you have a large window. The person who came to give estimate I thought was not really .....polite or know how to pitch sales. All my windows were estimated for close to $20K. It's too costly .

I was very pleased with services rendered by Elizabeth Shutters from the initial call for an estimate through the final installation. Everyone I came in contact with was very friendly and knowledgeable. The shutters are a beautiful and elegant addition to my windows. How often can you say that something exceeds ones expectations. These shutters surely do. I would highly recommend Elizabeth Shutters to anyone looking in to adding or replacing shutters.

My new shutters are beautiful and everyone seeing them are amazed at the great quality and beauty that they add to a room. The salesman and installer were so professional and knowledgeable. They both made the process easy and pleasant. I am so happy that we purchased our shutters from Elizabeth Shutters. They are well worth the cost.
Description of Work: We had shutters installed in 3 bedrooms and a pass thru area between the living room and family room. The salesperson came out and showed us all of the styles and options, measured everything and placed the order. The order took approximately one month since all of the shutters are custom made and real wood. On the day of the install, the installer showed up right on time and installed all of the shutters in about 3 hours. We had 2 quarter round shutters, one large half round and one smaller half round shutters installed. We also had 3 large regular windows covered. We also had a 5 foot by 4 foot opening between the living room and family room enclosed. The installer did a perfect job. The shutters look stunning and it is so nice to be able to control the amount of lighting the rooms. The only minor thing that we experienced is that the paint that the installer uses for touch up leaves a paint smell for about a week. However, that was a minor inconvenience compared to the upgrade to our house from the shutters. We will be contacting Elizabeth Shutters next year to install more shutters in our downstairs area.

We had Elizabeth Shutters out to quote for two large windows at the front of the house. We'd previously been quoted on plastic/vinyl shutters and wanted to compare with wood. The process was very simple and low pressure and when we got the quote it was nowhere near as expensive as we'd suspected to go with wood (which can be repainted and repaired more easily). The install was fast, professional and issue-free. We couldn't be happier!

Their response to my initial phonecall inquiry was the next day. They explained all the options and showed several physical examples during the appointment. It made it very easy to decide. I placed the order and paid half the total that day. The shutters were installed 4 weeks later. The installer cleaned up after the installation, swept up, etc. I definitely would hire Elizabeth Shutters again. Fine work.
Description of Work: I called to get an estimate on having the upstairs bedroom done in plantation shutters on the slider and the huge window, and non-moveable louver shutter doors on 2 closets. They came out the next morning, measured, and said the shutters would be in stalled in 4-5 weeks or less. They were installed in 4 weeks' time. They were very informative thorough out the entire procedure, and explained every step of the way. The shutters are beautiful and I'm very happy that I got them installed. They gave a crisp and open look to the room; very bright! I would definitely recommend that you hire them. They are honest, efficient, and easy to work with.

They were very good, the only thing is they made a mistake on one window. They had to go over a frame. They had to redo it and that took an additional 3 weeks but other than that is was okay and there weren't any problems. They're product is beautiful and it really enhances your room. They were very good, they call you and let you know when they'll do it then they will email you to tell you what you need to do to get ready. I didn't have a problem with them.

I love Elizabeth Shutters! No doubt, interior shutters are very expensive. And arched windows are even more! So we've been installing shutters in our home a few windows at a time. Elizabeth Shutters has been to our home 4 times for installations, and they have been wonderful every time. They are almost like family now! We still have a few more windows to do, so our relationship with ES will continue for a few more years
Description of Work: Install custom wood shutters in a variety of styles in our home. Some arched, some bi-fold, some large, some small - some inside mount, some outside. They all look perfect!

The lady who came out was very approachable and very knowledgeable about the shutters. When I called them to request for a home consultation, the gentleman on the phone was very friendly and in fact was very jovial. She came on time and she was very good at follow up. Even though I did not hire them in the process, there was no persistence in call at all and that was good.

The quality is good- but I do have a lot of dings on them because they are white and they are opened and closed a lot.The saleswoman measured the windows and 2 days later another person was sent out for a second measure. The installation took approx 2 hours for two large windows and one sliding door. The shutter are stunning! I am going to hire them again for another room.
Description of Work: I got 8 estimates for shutters. The range was $2000-$7000. Elizabeth Shutters was fairly priced.

We are happy with the quality of the products and the overall job relative to what we agreed to. One comment I would make is that we were given the option to install "inside" mounted shutters versus "outside" mounted shutters (meaning inside the frame of the window, or outside/over it). It turned out that one of the eleven windows required an inside mount, whereas the recommendation was to do outside mounts on all the others. The outside mounts are easier to install and cheaper, but those were not factors from our perspective.Not knowing any better, we went with what was recommended. The point of this is that it would have been very helpful if the saleman had more clearly explained the difference between the two and showed some pictures because after seeing the finished job, we would have preferred to do inside mounts on many of the other windows; espcially in the hallways because the outside mounts protrude much farther out from the wall than do the inside mounts. It would have been nice if the salesman had taken this into consideration when making the recommendations for an outside mount in those locations. Plus, we think the inside mounts just look better in some locations. It was also apparent that the outside mounted shutters were significantly easier for them to install versus the inside mount, so I don't know if that was a factor in their recommendation. So, again, I do not have any issues with the quality of what was actually done, I just wish we had done some of it a little differently knowing what we know now, which goes back to getting better recommendations during the sales process. There also was no followup after the job was complete to see if we were happy with everything, which, considering the amount of money we spent (and the intent to do more work in the future), didn't seem like too much to ask. Those are the two primary factors which resulted in the Overall Service Experience rating of a B, as opposed to an A.

We did a lot of work on our house from new carpets and hardwood floors to painting inside and out. Elizabeth Shutters was the easiest and best of all the contractors. The salesperson told me all of the options. She helped me choose the best style for my windows. The company promised six weeks until install but the shutters were actually installed within three weeks. The installers came on time, installed the shutters and cleaned up after. The company called me a couple days later to make sure I was happy with the shutters. The shutters are beautiful, I could not be happier! Elizabeth Shutters was not cheapest but they came highly recommended and seemed liked the best value.

The kitchen and bedroom installation went well. They were both installed according to my agreed to specifications in a very satisfactory manner. They are up and serve me well to date. The living room slider was not installed according to my clearly and repeatedly stated and agreed to specifications. When I saw that it did not meet my requirements, I had the installer remove it and return it to Elizabeth Shutters.

Response from Elizabeth Shutters
This members, bad review on Elizabeth Shutters has an epilogue. We claimed he fabricated a structural requirement after the fact and that we couldn't comply even had we wanted to because his design was not structurally sound. He claimed in letters to the BBB and Angie's List that of the 7 other shutter companies he interviewed before buying, none of them had balked at the structure he proposed. He further claimed that, after his difficulty with Elizabeth Shutters, he interviewed another 3 shutter companies about the issue specifically. According to him, all 3 agreed they could build it precisely his way. We still believe/d it wouldn't work and decided not to install or charge him for the shutters. Last week he called and demanded we install the shutters as we originally built them. Despite having 10 other choices, all apparently eager to comply with his wishes, he insisted Elizabeth Shutters complete the job (our way) or he would file suit against our contractor's license. After this experience we have asked ourselves some questions: Why would a customer with 10 alternatives choose an 11th he detests to do a job the wrong way? Is Elizabeth Shutters wrong, or has he misrepresented the facts? Did the Angie's List review system protect Elizabeth Shutters from him, or provide a pulpit for his slander? Do we want to participate in this system? Do we want to advertise in it? Turns out these are not hard questions.

Clarice came out and measured the whole house at once and saved the information. We called her every time we finished remodeling an area. She already had the measurements so all she needed was a deposit to get the shutters ordered. Her service was very convenient. We have recommended her to friends and they are just as pleased as we are. They have a quality product and great service.

I HAD AN EXCELLENT EXPERIENCE WITH ELIZABETH SHUTTERS. I SHOPPED AROUND AND THEY WERE THEY LOWEST, EVEN TO THE LARGER HOME IMPROVEMENT AND WAREHOUSE STORES. THEY WERE RECOMMENDED TO ME BY A COUPLE OF FRIENDS WHO HAD USED THEM. WHEN I CALLED TO INQUIRE, A SALESPERSON WAS ABLE TO COME OUT WITHIN A WEEKS' TIME. I PURCHASED THE SHUTTERS THAT DAY WITHOUT ANY PRESSURE FROM THE SALESMAN. THEY HAD THEM READY WITHIN A MONTH'S TIME. THE QUALITY AND CRAFTSMANSHIP OF THE SHUTTER IS EXCELLENT. WHEN THEY ARE COMPLETELY CLOSED IN THE DAY, IT IS ALMOST TOTAL BLACKOUT. THEY ARE A LARGE COMPANY, SO YOU KNOW THEY WILL BE AROUND FOR A WHILE SHOULD YOU HAVE ANY PROBLEMS.
Description of Work: WE HAD SHUTTERS INSTALLED ON THREE GOOD SIZED WINDOWS. ON ONE OF THE WINDOWS INSTALLATION WAS A LITTLE TRICKY BECAUSE I WANTED AN OUTSIDE MOUNT AND ONE SIDE OF THE WINDOW HAD LIMITED SPACE, BUT THEY MADE IT WORK!
