Exterior Shutters Enhance Appearance of Jacksonville Homes
Shutters to Set Off Historic Jacksonville Homes
From Avondale to Springfield, Jacksonville is rich in architectural history.
Avondale and Riverside are just west of downtown Jacksonville. The Riverside Avondale neighborhood features the largest group of historic bungalows anywhere in the state of Florida. The section of Riverside Avenue once known as "The Row" features several remaining turn-of-the-century mansions. One, the former home of resin and turpentine magnate William J. Kelly, is now a popular bed-and-breakfast. Because of his business, Kelly and other industry magnates were known as the "Gum Bunch." The home is a combination of Shingle and Queen Anne styling and is covered almost entirely with shingles.
Springfield, north of downtown, is Jacksonville's first and oldest sub-division, established in 1869. It comprises mostly wood-frame residential buildings. The blocks of the historic district are laid out in a grid. Trees, mostly oak, give the neighborhood a relaxed and harmonious feel. Showing the historical origins of the Jacksonville neighborhood are hitching posts, cast-iron fences, and carriage stepping stones.
In all of Jacksonville's historic areas, Estate Millwork is proud to offer historically accurate exterior shutters to enhance the appearance of your home. More modern homes also benefit from our eco-friendly and cost-effective shutter designs.
Jacksonville homes are unique and historic. We offer shutters to match.
Estate Millwork Customized Shutters To Fit Your Home
Feel the cool breeze drifting through your home with our louvered shutters. Our exterior shutters provide you with an environmentally responsible and cost-effective cooling system. The louvered shutters also give you privacy from passerby in the street.
Authentically historical, our louvered wood shutters are a classic tradition common in the Jacksonville, FL, area. Whether Mediterranean, Foursquare, or Craftsman, any architectural style of Jacksonville home can benefit from the addition of louvered shutters. Depending on the dimensions of the windows, furniture, and layout of the room, thinner or wider louvers may be more aesthetically pleasing.
Our high-tech precision machining lets us create louvered wood outdoor shutters that fit your windows to a T. Whether you're looking for fixed or adjustable louvers, we can help. Estate Millwork provides custom shutter design tools. We want to assist you in creating the best shutters for your Jacksonville home.
Plantation, Bermuda Shutters Popular in Jacksonville
Plantation shutters feature operable louvers that can be used to control privacy, light, and air flow. The classic appearance of exterior plantation shutters makes them a popular choice for Jacksonville homeowners.
Bahama shutters, also known as Bermuda shutters, offer excellent storm protection. They're hinged at the top to swing out horizontally. In addition, Bahama shutters are a unique twist on traditional shutters, adding architectural interest.
We use only the finest hardwoods -- oak, maple, cherry, and even exotics like teak and mahogany. Your furniture style may determine which type of wood you select for your custom shutters.
Our solid-wood exterior shutters provide protection from high winds from Jacksonville's seasonal hurricanes. The quick-close, storm-protective nature of Bermuda shutters make them an excellent choice for homeowners.
Smart Jacksonville homeowners know that Bermuda shutters keep temperatures steady in each room of the house, saving you money on energy bills.
Wooden Shutters of the Highest Quality
By hand-selecting each board from top grades of hardwood stock, we keep waste to a minimum, improve quality, and provide our Jacksonville, Florida, customers with durable, solid exterior shutters that outlast other types of exterior shutters, like vinyl or low-grade veneer.
All of our shutters are resistant to fading, denting, cracking, and warping, and can be refinished or repainted, saving you costly replacements.
Estate Millwork's expert craftspeople can also add ornate touches like custom mouldings or shutter horns. If your Jacksonville home has windows of unusual size, we're happy to create shutters in those dimensions. Tailor-made rails and stiles, mouse holes, extra-wide or narrow louvers, or decorative faux lift rods are just some of the extra customization options we offer.
