Why Homeowners Choose APS
The 3 things nobody else in Florida tells you about plantation shutters.
After 30+ years of fixing problems other companies caused, we know exactly what goes wrong with shutters — and how to make sure it doesn't happen to you.
"Will it off-gas plastic fumes in my home?"
Most "wood-look" shutters sold in Florida are PVC or composite — glued-together plastic that off-gasses VOCs into your indoor air. We only use real wood, finished with our waterborne, zero-VOC paint system. Better for your lungs. Better for your home.
PVC yellows, cracks, and emits fumes in Florida heat. Wood doesn't.
"What happens when one louver breaks?"
PVC and composite shutters are glued together — when one piece breaks, the entire panel is trashed. Our real-wood shutters are fully repairable. We bring a mobile workshop trailer to fix most issues on-site in hours, not weeks.
If a louver breaks 5 years from now, we can fix it. Nobody else can.
"How long will I really wait?"
Big-box and franchise companies outsource overseas — 8 to 13+ week waits, and many bait-and-switch wood orders to composite at the last minute. Our shutters are built in Palm City. The team that measures your home builds and installs them. Typical turnaround: 2–4 weeks.
No middlemen. No overseas factories. No bait-and-switch.
What Sets Us Apart
A locally made shutter isn't just better — it's a different product entirely.
01
Real wood, milled in our Palm City shop.
Every louver, frame, and panel is cut, sanded, and finished by our team in Palm City — not shipped in from overseas. Premium kiln-dried hardwoods resist warping in Florida humidity and age beautifully over decades.
You'll never get a PVC, composite, or faux-wood "alternative" from us. We only build what we'd put in our own homes.
02
The same team measures, builds, and installs.
No subcontractors. No outsourced installation crew. The craftsman who measures your home is the one who builds and installs your shutters. That means fewer errors, faster turnaround, and accountability you can actually call back.
Most franchise competitors hand your order off to three different parties — and any one of them can drop the ball.
03
Every window is custom — even the tricky ones.
Arches, sliding glass doors, French doors, octagons, bay windows, sunburst openings — we manufacture in-house, so nothing is off the menu. If it has a window opening, we can build a shutter that fits it perfectly.
This is why our 30+ year clients keep coming back: every room of every home gets the same level of craftsmanship.
Side-by-Side
Why APS beats the big-box and franchise alternatives.
Most "shutter companies" you'll find on Google are franchises or resellers. They take a measurement, ship it overseas, and hope it comes back right. Here's what's actually different about us.

Everything you wanted to know — and weren't told elsewhere.
How much do plantation shutters cost in Florida?
Real wood plantation shutter pricing for typical Florida homes: 1,500 sq. ft. home: $5,000–$8,000. 2,500 sq. ft. home: $7,000–$12,000. 3,500 sq. ft. home: $9,000–$16,000. These include precision measurement, custom manufacturing, and professional installation. Real wood costs more than PVC up front but lasts longer, doesn't off-gas, and is fully repairable — making it the better long-term value.
How long does it take from quote to installation?
Typical turnaround is 2–4 weeks from final measurement to installation, depending on order size and customization. Because we manufacture in-house in Palm City, we don't wait on overseas containers like franchise and big-box competitors who often quote 8–13 weeks.
Will the shutters block my view?
Not if we design them right. We offer hidden tilt-rod options that fully open louvers without an obstructing center bar, plus configurations that let panels fold or slide completely out of the window opening. We'll show you live demonstrations during your free in-home consultation.
What if a louver or panel breaks years later?
Real wood shutters are fully repairable — unlike PVC and composite, which are glued together. Most repairs happen on-site in hours using our mobile workshop trailer. For larger jobs, we restore shutters at our Palm City factory. Your limited lifetime warranty covers manufacturing and installation defects for as long as you own the home.
Do you serve my city or neighborhood?
We serve Martin County, St. Lucie County, Palm Beach County, and Indian River County — including Palm City, Stuart, Jupiter, Port St. Lucie, Palm Beach Gardens, Vero Beach, West Palm Beach, Wellington, Boca Raton, Delray Beach, and surrounding areas. If you're unsure, just call or submit a quote request with your ZIP.
Are wood shutters really better than PVC or composite?
Yes — especially in Florida. PVC and composite shutters can yellow in UV light, crack or warp in Florida heat, and emit VOCs that affect indoor air quality. Real wood doesn't off-gas, is repairable, and ages beautifully. We've manufactured only real wood since 1991 because of these specific issues.
Do you offer financing?
Yes. We accept cash, check, credit card, and PayPal — plus a Pay-in-4 option that splits your purchase into four interest-free payments. Larger financing options are available on request.
