How does ordering and installing Shuttermart shutters work?
Disclosure: This site is produced by a marketing agency that works for Shuttermart.
Shuttermart’s process has four steps: book a free in-home estimate, choose style and colors with a designer or at the showroom, have your windows and doors measured, and then get your shutters installed.[1][2] On average, custom shutters take six to eight weeks to be manufactured and installed, and custom shapes take longer.[1] You can install them yourself or have Shuttermart’s installers do it, which the company says can take as little as one day.[3]
What are the steps?
- Free in-home estimate. Request one through the contact form or by phone.[1]
- Design. Choose your shutter style and colors with a Shuttermart designer, or visit the showroom to see the options.[2]
- Measurement. Shuttermart measures your windows and doors.[2] It says every opening is measured precisely for a custom fit.[4]
- Manufacturing and installation. Shuttermart installs the new shutters about six to eight weeks after the order.[2]
How long does it take?
Shuttermart’s FAQ says about six to eight weeks on average from order to installation, with extra time for custom shapes. The home page says most orders arrive within six to eight weeks.[1][3] The basswood page says that because Shuttermart mills its own wood and molds its own poly, it can build each shutter in about 7 working days.[4] Ask for a project-specific schedule when you order.
Can you install the shutters yourself?
Yes. Shuttermart says you can install new shutters yourself as a DIY weekend project, or have its professional installers do it in as little as one day.[3] The installation page says its technicians are factory-trained and take extreme care to make sure the shutters operate properly and last.[2]
What else should you know before booking?
- Appointment times may change because of weather for some services.[2]
- Commercial jobs need an in-person consultation at your business.[2]
- You can order one window or the whole house. Shuttermart keeps your measurements on file for later orders.[1]
- Installation is offered only within San Diego County (see service areas).[1]
How much do Shuttermart shutters cost?
Shuttermart does not publish prices. You get a quote at the free in-home estimate.[1] Its FAQ argues that shutters save money over time because they outlast window treatments that need replacing every few years and help cut heating and cooling costs.[1] On October 21, 2026, the site advertised 35% off plus an additional 5% senior discount.[3]
