Mark has been in the window-covering business since 1989, first launching Southern Shutters in 1993. Chris came onboard in 1996 as an installer and quickly displayed an exceptional understanding of the craft and premium customer service, which led to him becoming a partner in 2005. Together, they’re hard-working, lifelong Texans who put an enormous amount of skill, dedication, and pride into every piece of work they create for homeowners! They and Southern Shutters donate both their time and money to their chosen local cause, Mobile Loaves & Fishes.

Southern shutters did an absolutely amazing job. They were easy to work with every step of the way. I am very happy with how my shutters turned out. The color is a perfect match to my baseboards and they are so smooth. They look like they have been in my house forever and complete each room.

I decided to pick Southern Shutters over a few other shutter companies that I evaluated. They were competitive with their prices but more importantly the personalized approach of Chris was outstanding as is the quality of their workmanship. I plan to add on to my initial order and highly recommend. They are a local business with entire manufacturing in Texas.

This is the second home we have had Southern Shutters make window treatments for us. We loved the 1st ones made in 2012 so this year our new home got the full treatment on all of our windows. Tony helped us in choosing what we needed. We love the extra effort SS makes to ensure all goes well. They deliver & install on time. Eddie did a great job. We love working with them.

Not only are my shutters beautifully made, the customer service I’ve had has been remarkable! My installer Tommy was the best! Highly recommend!
Alicia Richards
We’ve had our shutters installed two different times. Once downstairs and we were so happy with them, we had them come back to do the upstairs. They turned out so beautiful and the customer service is WONDERFUL! I wouldn’t think of having anyone else do it. Highly recommend!

Lifetime transferable warranty and service
We provide free in-home consultations, and same day estimates emailed to you, as long as you are within our service area. We cover Central Texas/Austin, as well as surrounding areas.
During a free in-home consultation, the factory representative will bring samples to you to show the shutters in your home. We also have a showroom located in Georgetown, Texas where you can see different configurations of the plantation shutters that we build, as well as the quality of the shutters and our installation.
Yes! Southern Shutters will use any paint or stain that you specify, regardless of brand or formula. If that information is not available, we will custom -match the paint or stain, providing you with an actual sample of your paint or stain for your approval. No shutters are finished until you see and approve that sample.
We use North American Basswood. All wood species used in manufacturing today have both good and bad qualities. The characteristics we like about North American Basswood is it’s stability, it does not warp! This quality is one of the factors that allow us to provide you with a lifetime transferable warranty.
With all new shutter orders, our lead times range from 4-8 weeks, depending on the season and demand. The majority of installations are accomplished in one day, some larger jobs may take two days. We use only our trusted installers, not sub contractors.
Being local, we have access to the same materials you and your builder have access to. We use the same paint or stain your builder used. We match the trim used throughout your house. If you want to see for yourself, come visit our factory located just outside of Austin in Manor TX
Choosing to support a locally staffed manufacturer also means that the more than 35 people you are employing are spending their wages locally, thus helping central Texas prosper.
We will build panels up to 48 inches wide. We guarantee the structural stability of the shutter. The evolution of plantation shutters is bigger and more open (i.e., fewer visual obstructions), and we are doing whatever we can to give you what you want and back it with a lifetime transferable warranty.
We do use the highest quality paints and clear coats. Maintenance would be the same for your shutters as it is for your window sills. We recommend dusting with a lamb’s wool duster, or if more is required a damp cloth should do the trick.
We are very proud of our factory, our products, and the entire Southern Shutters family. We always invite anyone to come to our beautiful showroom, but our factory is the heart and soul of who we are. Please visit us in Manor if you get a chance. You’ll see the rich heritage and pride that makes our shutters unique to central Texas. While most jobs these days are imported, you can come visit us to see why it is worth buying local. We don't have a dedicated tour guide, so call ahead when you plan to visit, and we will make sure Mark will be there. He is always happy to show off his factory.
Absolutely! Tilt-in windows can be convenient for accessing screens or cleaning the outside of the windows, but this feature can be challenging with shutters, which can block the tilt-in capability. With some treatment companies, you have choose between the tilt-in window or the shutter, but here at Southern Shutters, we have adapted treatment designs that allow you to continue using the tilt-in function while you also enjoy all the benefits of shutters.
The lifespan of shutters depends on several factors, including which company you turn to and how well you take care of them. Although shutters are a fairly simple product, when they are done correctly, they can last for the lifetime of the house. In fact, our customers from 30 years ago are still enjoying beautiful, durable shutters that look and work like the day they were installed! We are so confident in the quality of our work that we offer a lifetime transferable warranty on our shutters.
Yes, they are! When we prepare the shutters, we use oil-based paint, which puts a hard, protective finish on the shutters. This provides a smooth surface that is simple to clean. Plus, with wide louvers, you can easily fit your hand in between to dust or wipe down the louvers with a damp cloth on a regular basis.
Shutters are very energy efficient. Basswood, the material we use to manufacture our shutters, provides excellent insulation from the outside heat or cold. Instead of conducting the temperature into the room, the shutters absorb it while still blocking or allowing the light to come into the room. In fact, many customers report lower energy costs after shutter installation!
At Southern Shutters, we are proud to have a team of top-notch professionals. Some of our installers have been with us for decades and have impressive woodworking skills. We stand by our work, which is why we offer a lifetime tranfserable warranty on all the shutters we manufacture and install. As a result, you can rest easy knowing that your shutters will look and work great for many years to come.
