San Antonio Spirit Shows in Exterior Shutters

Way Down in San Antonio, Shutters Set Off Historic Homes

San Antonio currently has 25 historic districts, from three-parcel Leon Springs to the seven-mile Mission on the south side of the city.

The Dignowity Hill Historic District, San Antonio's first exclusive residential suburb, was settled by Dr. Anthony Michael Dignowity. The Czech-American physician built his family a home on a hill east of town, dubbing it Harmony House. In the second half of the 19th century, Dignowity Hill became the location for the estates of prominent San Antonio businessmen.

The Arsenal Historic District is the home of the United States Arsenal in San Antonio, established in 1859. One of the main buildings is the home of Dr. James M. Devine, which was the original Commanding Officer's Quarters for the Arsenal during its first quarter-century of existence. The home was replaced around 1883 by the present structure, which typifies 1880s residential architecture in San Antonio with its Italianate details and design.

Whether you live in one of San Antonio's historic districts or a more modern area, Estate Millwork can help you find San Antonio exterior shutters that will match the decor and architecture of your home.

Plantation Shutters Popular in San Antonio

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 San Antonio homeowners.

San Antonio plantation shutters really block out the light. They insulate very well and keep the house cool; you will notice a drop in your electricity bill when they're installed.

Protecting you from the sun, board-and-batten shutters, which are made of thick wooden slabs carved to resemble Southwestern barn shutters or Northeastern colonial shutters, can be closed on scorching days. And in the event of a seasonal hurricane, our solid-wood exterior shutters provide protection from high winds.

Your furniture style helps you determine which type of wood you select for your custom shutters. We use only the finest hardwoods, including oak, maple, cherry, and exotics like teak and mahogany. Visitors to your home won't fail to notice and compliment your choice in plantation shutters!

High-Quality Custom San Antonio Wood Shutters

By hand-selecting each board from top grades of hardwood stock, we keep waste to a minimum, improve quality, and provide our San Antonio, Florida, customers with durable, solid exterior shutters that outlast other types of exterior shutters, like vinyl or low-grade veneer.

Wood is also a healthy choice for your custom shutters, especially if you have children. Unlike vinyl, wood is a natural material and free of chemicals.

All of our shutters resist fading, cracking, and warping, and can be refinished or repainted. This helps you save money since you don't have to replace the shutters.

Estate Millwork's expert craftspeople can also add ornate touches like custom mouldings or shutter horns. We offer customization options including tailor-made rails and stiles, mouse holes, extra-wide or narrow louvers, and decorative faux lift rods. If your San Antonio home has windows of unusual size, we're happy to create shutters in those dimensions using our precision machining technology.
