We first determine the design and dimensions of your shutters. Once we have the sizes, one of our designers creates a CAD drawing and gives it to a member of our production and assembly team.

If your shutters are made from Everwood, our CNC operator will get to work creating your shutters.  One of our finishing technicians will run your shutters through our belt sander before hand sanding them to make sure they are ready for paint. 

If your shutters are made from aluminum, our production team will start with cutting the appropriate pieces to length, based on the CAD drawings, on our special upcut saw.  Then they will debur all the edges to make sure they are smooth before putting all the pieces together by hand.  If you’ve chosen a powdercoat finish, we then tranport them to our powder coating specialist.  If you’ve chosen a wet paint color from the Sherwin Williams color deck, we will bring them to our powerwashing staion to prep them for paint.

All our wet paint happens on-site in our industrial, cross-flow paint booth by one of our highly skilled painting technicians.  We use PPG industrial paint and apply a specialty primer prior to the final coat, to ensure the best quality available.

When your shutters are dry and ready to be shipped, we will protect each one with bubble wrap before placing them in the crate.  We will then send you a picture of your shutters all ready to go before closing the lid and scheduling pick-up.
