Custom Window Treatments
Custom Shutters
Architectural beauty, lasting value, and precise light control — custom shutters are one of the smartest investments you can make in your Hamptons home.
Why Custom Shutters
The Case for Custom Shutters
Shutters are more than a window treatment — they're an architectural addition. Unlike shades or drapery, shutters become part of the window itself, adding structural beauty, precise light control, and lasting value that most other treatments simply can't match.
In the Hamptons, where homes range from historic whaling-era captains' houses in Sag Harbor to contemporary glass-walled estates in Sagaponack, shutters complement virtually every architectural style. Their clean lines and adjustable louvers deliver both form and function.
Every shutter we install is custom-measured and fabricated to fit your exact window specifications. Our professional installation ensures smooth operation, tight fits, and a flawless finish.
Options
Shutter Styles We Offer
Plantation Shutters
Wide louvers (typically 2½" to 3½") that deliver clean sightlines and maximum light control. Plantation shutters are the most popular style in the Hamptons, complementing both traditional shingle-style homes and contemporary architecture.
Real Wood Shutters
Crafted from premium basswood or paulownia, real wood shutters offer natural grain beauty, superior warmth, and the ability to accept custom stain finishes. They're ideal for living rooms, dining rooms, and bedrooms where aesthetics are paramount.
Composite Shutters
Engineered from moisture-resistant polymers, composite shutters deliver the look of painted wood with dramatically superior durability in humid and coastal environments. They won't warp, crack, or yellow — making them the smart choice for kitchens, bathrooms, and pool houses.
Café Style Shutters
Café shutters cover only the lower half of the window, allowing natural light to pour in from above while maintaining street-level privacy. They're a charming choice for ground-floor rooms, breakfast nooks, and any window where you want the best of both worlds.
Comparison
Real Wood vs. Composite
Real wood shutters are crafted from premium basswood or paulownia. They offer natural grain beauty, warmth, and the ability to accept custom stain finishes that match your existing millwork. They're the choice for formal living rooms, dining rooms, and bedrooms where aesthetics take priority.
Composite shutters are engineered from moisture-resistant materials that look virtually identical to painted wood. They won't warp, crack, or yellow — even in the humid, salt-tinged air of a Hamptons summer. For kitchens, bathrooms, laundry rooms, and pool houses, composite is the clear winner.

Room Guide
Which Rooms Are Best for Shutters?
Shutters work beautifully in almost any room, but certain spaces benefit from them more than others:
- Living rooms & dining rooms — Plantation shutters add architectural depth and precise light control for entertaining and everyday living.
- Kitchens & bathrooms — Composite shutters resist moisture and are easy to wipe clean. They outperform fabric treatments in wet environments.
- Bedrooms — Shutters with tightly fitted louvers provide excellent light blocking when closed. For total blackout, consider pairing with blackout shades behind the shutters.
- Ground-floor windows — Café style shutters offer privacy from the street while keeping the upper window open for light and views.
Smart Home
Motorized & Smart Shutters
While most clients appreciate the simple elegance of manual shutter operation, motorized shutters are available for hard-to-reach installations, skylights, and clients who want integrated smart home control.
Motorized louvers tilt open and closed via remote or app, and can be programmed on automated schedules. They integrate with leading home automation platforms for whole-house coordination.
