if you were to get it done professionally, how much would it cost for the same window? Trying to get a price comparison, thanks.

[@handydadtv]

Get a local quote to compare.

[@lorianderson8543]

Really good video, thanks!!! For windows that tilt in, why did you decide on inside mount instead of outside mount shutters? We have the same windows so just wondering.

[@handydadtv]

They like the look of these. And since the windows are on the first floor, it’s easy to clean them from outside.

[@Daryl3737]

This is the gold standard of DIY videos. Clear, concise, and to the point. Kudos! These shutters are very reasonable, and compared to a local supplier and installation, they are a bargain.

[@handydadtv]

Thanks so much 😊

[@rajkondeti]

I Agree!

[@macsterguy]

You did an amazing job throughout. Especially detailing the order instructions. Way to go, Dad!

[@handydadtv]

Thanks so much 😊

At the beginning of the video, you said these were affordable. I stopped watching when it was up to $489 for one window, and you were still not done ordering. I'm very glad that you're successful enough to afford these shutters, but $500 or more per window is not "affordable" for most average everyday Americans.

[@jeremyhale6403]

Affordable is relative. These look reasonable priced for the quality of them. Just because you cannot afford $500 for a window shutter doesn't mean they are unaffordable.

[@wolfmanjack123]

@@jeremyhale6403 That's $500 PER WINDOW, so if you have a typical house with 15 windows, that's $7500 for blinds. Give me a break, you elitist snob.

[@handydadtv]

@jeremyhale6403 I didn’t say they were cheap. But they are much more affordable than having them professionally installed and that was my point. And they are the only window treatment that will last forever.

[@6BlackWings]

For $500, i expect wood, not plastic!

[@handydadtv]

Wood warps. Vinyl is ideal.

[@6BlackWings]

@handydadtv Basswood is extremely stable. I've had Basswood shutters in texss for 20 years. Zero warping. Plastic is trash.

[@shermantx]

I’m impressed with the look and your presentation! Great job sir~

[@handydadtv]

Thanks 😊

[@carpentrylover145]

I noticed you didn’t have casing around the windows. Most windows do. Is that an option that needs to be know when ordering?

[@handydadtv]

In that case, you would need to decide if you want to remove the old trim and let the shutter frame become the trim. Otherwise get the company to help you decide how to do it.

[@carpentrylover145]

@@handydadtv I guess it’s not a problem as long as the shutters cover the paint line where the trim was so there’s no touch up to do👍

[@RamRam-bl4ny]

Simply wonderful 👍

[@handydadtv]

Thanks 😊

[@rsanford100]

Thank you, exactly what I needed.

[@handydadtv]

Glad it was helpful 👍🏻

[@motor8654]

Thanks for the info.

[@handydadtv]

My pleasure!

[@sansu7222]

Too expensive, and you still have to put it together 😢.Not affordable at all.

[@handydadtv]

What are you comparing it to? I never said they were cheap, but much cheaper than professional installation.

[@AntLive29]

plantation shutters sounds racist

[@handydadtv]

🤣 Good one
