"I signed a contract with Jesse on March 26th for a deck replacement. His quote seemed fair and communication was good. He said that work could begin once he received the permit, which would take 1-2 weeks. On April 10th I asked for an update and he said the permit was still pending. The next day he says the city requested a drawing. April 15th he says the city now wants even more documents, causing this huge delay. April 16th I ask if it would help if I called the Building Dept myself to ask for an update? He said no, suggested it might delay things even further if the employees do not like me asking about it. So I leave it alone a few more days, but now it is been four weeks and I wonder if Jesse is just stringing me along, maybe finishing some other jobs and not being transparent with me on why this job is delayed. Finally, I look into the city records online (should've done this weeks ago). Not only is there no permit for this deck job, but there is no record of Jesse having a permit in Worcester at any time (the database seems to have at least 5 years of history), and I looked for all variations I could think of for his name and company name. So it is not looking good, but to make sure I am not missing anything I call the Building Dept. They tell me there is no record of Jesse requesting a permit for anything in Worcester (nothing is pending). When I spoke with him today (April 23rd), told him there is no record of a permit request, he says he is going to have a friend pull the permit because that friend always gets fast turnaround on his permits whereas Jesse does not (he even cited a recent example where he supposedly pulled a permit in Worcester but it took a long time - I did not bother telling him I know this is not true, these records are public and he's not in any of them). When I pushed back on his claims, saying there is no evidence of any of this, he says he was just at city hall dropping off documents... I doubt any contractor is going in person to city hall instead of using the online portal. Sounds like more b.s. to me. I was also interested to see the fees the city charges for permits: looks like they would have cost a few hundred dollars, not the three thousand that Jesse claimed."

"I was with the contractor that made me think that because my good credit I was getting a good financing interest around 7% and he did not tell me that my granite steps had to be removed, he told me after the loan went through at a rate of almost 14% at this moment I would like to cancel the project, I am under a lot of stress and having back issues I am afraid that because I take time off from work I am not going to be able to pay for this high interest loan."

"One of the worst companies I have EVER dealt with in my life. Nothing but runaround, lies, and lack of accountability. They will tell you something over the phone, then when you follow-up, they will magically lose all records of prior conversations. I was told replacement windows would be ordered in June 2024 - never ordered. In January, ordered correctly with 4-6 week expedited delivery time quoted. Now in Feb, was told the windows would not be ready until end of March (total of nearly 11 weeks since order). Magically, they have no record of quoting me 4-6 weeks, though I have email records saying otherwise. Just a miserable company to do business with, would never recommend to any homeowner."

Exterior shutters installations and replacements FAQs

The best material for exterior shutters depends on your preferences. Natural wood offers a classic and timeless look but requires more maintenance. Vinyl, composite, and aluminum shutters provide low-maintenance options with modern styles. Consider your design goals and maintenance preferences to choose the material that ensures both beauty and durability.

Professional shutter installers handle the installation of exterior and interior shutters. They ensure precise fitting and secure mounting so your shutters function properly and enhance your home's curb appeal. Hiring an experienced professional guarantees your shutters are correctly aligned and built to withstand environmental conditions, providing long-lasting protection for your home.

Estate shutters cost an average of $2,990, with prices ranging from $300 to $8,400. Their total price varies based on size, material quality, and installation requirements. While they come with a higher price tag, estate shutters enhance your home's security and add a luxurious aesthetic to your house.

Exterior window shutters are worth the cost for many homeowners, offering aesthetic and functional benefits. They enhance your home's appearance, add security, improve energy efficiency, and protect against severe weather conditions. Investing in exterior shutters can increase your home's value, make it more attractive to future buyers, and provide long-term benefits.

Whether it's cheaper to buy new shutters or paint them depends on their condition. Painting shutters costs $200 to $500 on average and can refresh their appearance if they're in good shape. However, replacing your shutters may be more cost-effective in the long run if they are significantly worn or damaged.

Double-hung, casement, and slider windows are most suitable for exterior shutters, as they accommodate standard dimensions and allow for secure attachment. Unique window types like bay, dormer, and picture windows may not work well with functional shutters due to their shapes and incur higher labor costs due to the complexity of installation.
