The quick answer
In the standard whole-home examples below, installed premium wood plantation shutters average about $390–$420 per opening. Estimated totals range from approximately $3,360 for an assumed eight-opening, 1,000-square-foot home to $9,360 for an assumed 24-opening, 4,000-square-foot home.
Home square footage does not determine shutter price by itself. APS prices the measured shutter area and configuration of each opening. The table uses home size only as a planning shortcut so Florida homeowners can establish a realistic starting budget before an in-home measurement.
Whole-house plantation shutter price estimates
Each example assumes standard rectangular openings measuring approximately 36 by 60 inches, or 15 square feet of shutter area per opening.
| Approx. home size | Assumed openings | Estimated shutter area | Installed estimate | Average per opening |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1,000 sq. ft. | 8 | 120 sq. ft. | $3,360 | $420 |
| 1,500 sq. ft. | 11 | 165 sq. ft. | $4,620 | $420 |
| 2,000 sq. ft. | 14 | 210 sq. ft. | $5,460 | $390 |
| 2,500 sq. ft. | 17 | 255 sq. ft. | $6,630 | $390 |
| 4,000 sq. ft. | 24 | 360 sq. ft. | $9,360 | $390 |
Planning estimate—not a quote. These examples use a simple 36-by-60-inch rectangular opening and the current APS volume pricing schedule. They exclude specialty shapes, door cutouts, specialty frames, ClearView hidden-tilt upgrades and custom-color charges. Actual homes vary in window count, dimensions and configuration.
What about one window? Under the same pricing schedule, a standalone 15-square-foot opening is approximately $1,125 installed. Whole-home projects have a lower average per opening because the current rate per square foot decreases as total project area increases.

What changes the price of plantation shutters?
Total project size
One-room and whole-home projects fall into different square-footage tiers, which changes the average cost per opening.
Frame and operating details
Frame profile, sill conditions, louver controls and other selected details can change material and fabrication requirements.
Doors and specialty openings
French doors, sliders, arches, circles, angles and oversized openings require individual engineering and are not included in the table.
Color and finish
Standard painted finishes and custom color matching involve different preparation and production steps.
Installation conditions
Trim, handles, depth, access and how panels need to open are confirmed during the professional measurement.
How APS calculates your exact quote
- We count and measure every opening.
- We confirm louver size, frame, tilt style, divider rails, finish and panel operation.
- We calculate the total shutter area and any selected project details.
- You receive a written, room-by-room quote before production.
The result is more useful than a generic price-per-window number because it reflects the windows and design choices in your home.

Florida plantation shutter cost FAQs
How much do plantation shutters cost per window in Florida?
For the standard whole-home examples on this page, the estimated installed average is approximately $390–$420 per 36-by-60-inch opening. A one-window project prices differently because APS uses total project shutter area; a standalone 15-square-foot opening is approximately $1,125 under the current schedule.
How much would plantation shutters cost for my whole house?
The examples range from about $3,360 for eight standard openings to about $9,360 for 24. Your actual price depends on the number, measured size and configuration of your openings—not home square footage alone.
Are measurement, installation and tax included?
Yes. The figures above include premium real-wood shutters, professional measurement, standard installation and applicable sales tax.
Why do larger projects have a lower average price per opening?
APS's current base rate per square foot decreases at higher total project square footage. That spreads the fixed work of consultation, setup and installation across more shutter area.
Do sliders, French doors and specialty shapes cost more?
They can. Bypass or bi-fold slider systems, French-door handle cutouts, arches, circles, angles and oversized openings require different materials or engineering. They are measured and quoted individually and are not included in the standard table.
Are real-wood shutters worth the cost?
They are a strong fit for homeowners who value architectural appearance, low day-to-day maintenance, adjustable light and privacy, local craftsmanship and a product that can be serviced. The best choice still depends on your opening, budget and priorities.
How long does the process take?
APS projects are typically installed within two to four weeks after final measurements and specifications are approved. Timing can vary with project scope and selected details.
How do I get an exact price?
Schedule a free in-home consultation. APS brings samples, measures each opening, confirms your design choices and provides a written quote. You do not need exact measurements to request the appointment.
