Window Shutter Types in Spokane | Exteriors Unlimited

Shutters have been in use around the globe for centuries. They protected homes from the elements in the days when windows were an expensive and rare commodity. In modern times, shutters are a nice add-on for boosting curb appeal. Learn of the various window shutter types and the home types each is best suited for.

Louvered Window Shutters

Louvered shutters are one of the most common variety. They consist of overlapping uniform wood slats set within a frame. Due to their fairly generic appearance, louvered shutters are suitable for all kinds of homes. If painted a bold color, they make a great focal point against a white saltbox-style residence or a house with all-white siding. In some variants, the slats can be adjusted to let in or block sunlight.

Board and Batten Shutters

As suggested in the name, these shutters are made from wooden boards joined together by a horizontal crosspiece. Board and batten shutters are a mainstay for cottage and farm-style houses. They also look really elegant on homes with curved windows.

Raised and Solid Panel Window Shutters

Panel shutters utilize panels in their design, similar to the decorative panels seen on a kitchen cabinet door. Some of the fancier styles may contain cut-out shapes or designs for added aesthetics. Panel shutters are great for contemporary and luxury houses.

Combination Shutters

Combination shutters incorporate two or more elements from different shutter types. The upper half portion, for instance, may utilize a louvered design, while the lower half contains a panel-style look. You can mix and match different elements to acquire the desired design.

This is a good company that does quality work. The owner is responsive to questions and all the employees have been great to have in and around the house. My siding and window gave my old house a new shine. I recommend them without hesitation.

Exteriors Unlimited replaced the vinyl siding on the south wall of our house, the other 3 sides were already hardie board. The crew headed by Eric were on time, worked very well as a team. Completed the job on time within the budget. The siding was a large project, about 2500 sq ft, up to a height of close to 40 feet. Am very pleased with the job and highly recommend Exteriors Unlimited.

I find it amusing that Google lists "Exterior Decorating" but not "Exterior Siding" as choices in the "services they performed" section of this review. Really? How many people hire exterior decorators verses exterior siders? Just saying. Anyway, on with the review! Outstanding! I was a bit surprised when I asked the guy who showed up to start the siding project about the needs of the crew who would be working on my house, the surprise was when he said "I am the crew." ?. I was expecting two or three more people. However, I wasn't disappointed. Eric was great! He took the time needed to do the job right the first time. Surprisingly quick for just one person, he was done in about three weeks. That included a couple days or so when he wasn't able to work because the high winds didn't make it safe. Even so, he did an excellent job carefully installing all the layers needed for the insulated vinyl siding and aluminium fascia, soffit, & window/door trim. Eric was very respectful of our property, and spent time at the end of each day cleaning up after himself. At the end of the job he spent extra time to be sure he'd cleaned up all the waste and parts left over as well. He did good! ? Our house looks brand new on the outside, and increased both the insulation value AND home value too. Eric was very friendly and easy going. Answered patiently all my questions and, without interfering in getting the job done, put up with my daily conversations (these were only about 10 to 15 mins a day during his breaks). To be honest, I kind of miss chatting with him, I'm retired/disabled so don't get out much so it was nice to have someone to chat with for a bit. All in all, he did a superb job in a timely manner while dealing with challenges of weather and a chatty home owner ?. His nearly 30 years of experience showed in the quality of workmanship. I would highly recommend Exteriors Unlimited to anyone looking to reside their home. I am certain they will not be disappointed.

Working with this company was the most positive experience I've ever had working with a contractor. Everyone was so professional, pleasant and detail oriented. James, the Window Installer, came every day with a set goal and worked to completion. He noticed a small scratch on one of the window sashes that I'm not sure I would have seen and ordered me a new one. James wrapped all the windows as well and did an awesome job! Ben and Zach installed new soffit and fascia and even fixed some of the vinyl siding that suffered from the heat this summer which wasn't part of the job. Everyone cleaned up at the end of each day. These gentlemen treated my home as if it were their own with the care they showed. Everyone communicated the timelines and kept to them. Shout out to Mike, Randy and Dennis as well for all they did from beginning to end. My house looks brand new! This is an excellent company that I will definitely work with again.

What a professional business. Had new windows and hardy board siding installed. This company and the installers go above and beyond to make the customer happy! Not like others who send a large crew who flim flam the job. These guys are professionals and friendly. A++ in my book!

Exteriors Unlimited replaced 21 windows, turning 7 of them from rounded windows to square, installed a glass slider and a front door. Dennis (owner) was very professional and easy to work with. James (the installer), was FANTASTIC. He took so much pride in his work and every day walked us through his plan for the day and promptly brought up any concerns he saw and shared proposed solutions. He arrived on time, worked all day and never left a mess behind. We will be customers for life and will never recommend anyone else!
