Built by Local Craftsmen. Designed for Your Home.

Polyvinylchloride (PVC/plastic) and Polyurethane (PU/plastic Jell-O) makers use labels like Woodlite, FlexWood, and Thermawhite, but they’re all just synthetic petroleum products trying to look like wood. Unfortunately, they’re also weak, heavy, non-recyclable, and emit toxic fumes in a fire. Most plastic shutters are built to sag and must be lifted in place to open or close. Whole Basswood is much lighter and stronger than plastic. Basswood’s strength and rigidity enable elegant designs, tighter tolerances, and little or no sagging in panels and louvers. Elizabeth Shutters is the world’s only major manufacturer to offer 100% whole Basswood for all painted and stained shutters.

From no-shows, bad advice, and delays to unexpected fees, shoddy work, and leaving a mess, home improvement contracting is full of horror stories. It’s hard to trust anyone with a one-time project in your home, much less if they’re new or their reputation with customers is mixed. Elizabeth Shutters employs some of the most capable and dedicated professionals in the window-coverings industry. Installers and technical personnel’s average tenure with Elizabeth Shutters is nearly 16 years, and salespeople average over 12 years with Elizabeth Shutters and 20–25 years in the industry. Our experience and professionalism have made Elizabeth Shutters the highest-rated shutter manufacturer in California and one of the best in the world. Elizabeth Shutters’ personnel have earned the highest awards for “Best Shutter Company” and “Best Window Coverings Company” from Angie’s List, TrustLink, Customer Lobby, The Los Angeles Times, San Diego Union Tribune, and Orange County Register nearly every year for the past ten years. In addition to our D-52 contractors’ license, contractors’ bond, and workers’ compensation insurance, we carry $2 million general liability insurance.

Discount companies’ shutters usually come from Mexico or China and take weeks or months to arrive. If there’s a problem, the cycle starts over. Elizabeth Shutters manufactures shutters and doors in Colton, California. We guarantee custom deliveries in Northern California and, under normal conditions, proudly offer our industry-best, 28-working-day delivery in Southern California. Depending on availability, California rush orders may be delivered in as little as three to five days.

Offshore and discount manufacturers typically build “disposable” shutters meant to last a few years until they’re replaced. Unfortunately, over the past 10 years several hundred of these companies have gone out of business. Those that remain generally warranty shutters for two to five years, depending on whether they agree there is a problem. Elizabeth Shutters builds shutters to last a lifetime. We’ve been building shutters for over 40 years, and our warranties and standards are printed right on your contract:

• Wear Items (staples and louver tension screws): Free replacement for one year. Free parts for life (we send them to you).
• Finish: 10 years
• Structure: Lifetime warranty and transferable to the next homeowner.

Promises of replacement parts, matching styles, and warranties don’t mean much if the company is gone. Elizabeth Shutters’ reputation for quality and customer satisfaction has been built over 40 years and made us the biggest and best shutter company in the West. We look forward to serving you and your family for generations to come.
