Cypress Shutters, Built to Your Windows
Cypress, a naturally durable softwood, is prized for exceptional exterior suitability. Its warm honey-to-amber tones develop a graceful silver patina, while natural cypressene oils provide inherent resistance to rot and insects. This wood offers remarkable dimensional stability, ideal for humid and coastal climates. Estate Millwork crafts custom cypress shutters to your exact window opening, available in every style from louvered and raised panel to board-and-batten, Bahama, bermuda, flat panel, and combination designs, built fixed or fully operable.
Our live online designer lets you select style, size, and finish for instant pricing. We build every shutter made-to-order; no stock sizes, no minimums. Each piece features true double-pegged mortise-and-tenon joinery, ensuring superior durability without relying on nails or weak fasteners.

→Why Cypress for Custom Shutters
Cypress is exceptional for exterior shutters. Its natural cypressene oils provide inherent resistance to rot and insects, a critical advantage outdoors. The wood's straight, even grain machines cleanly, allowing precise craftsmanship. Lightweight yet stable, cypress maintains its fit through seasonal changes. It holds paint and stain beautifully, allowing diverse finishing. With a long tradition in Southern and coastal architecture, cypress is a durable softwood, not a hardwood, specifically suited for lasting exterior performance.
Any Style, Any Size
Cypress complements every shutter style. Louvered designs offer a classic aesthetic, allowing air circulation even when closed. Raised panel shutters convey formal weight. Board-and-batten styles suit cottages, farmhouses, and coastal residences. Each style has its own dedicated online designer, allowing sizing to your exact window opening with live pricing. All designs can be built fixed or fully operable.
