Shutter installer?

9 years ago

Hello, Do you have a name of a shutter installer in the Sacramento area? We are struggling to find one who can install working shutters into stone. I *love* this house, it is so beautiful!

Yes tricky installing "real" shutter hardware into stone! Interestingly all throughout Europe and even the East Coast USA we see operable shutters on stone buildings! As far as your project, you might talk to the shutter supplier regarding hardware install. They might have a list of subs that can help. For my house we used the finish carpenter. Good luck with your project!
