Frequently Asked Questions - Shutters and More of FL

Here are a list of frequently asked questions and the answers:

What is the difference between custom-made and ready-made window treatments?
Big box retailers carry what they consider to be standard window treatment sizes. However, most windows vary considerably in width, height and shape, making it difficult to get a perfect fit. Choosing a custom solution means your window coverings will be manufactured to your exact window specifications; plus, you will have infinitely more fabric, finishing and hardware choices.
 
How do I pay for my window treatments?
Since your window coverings are custom-made specifically for your windows and home, payment is required when you place your order. Shutters and More of FL accepts all major credit cards, personal checks and offers special financing.
 
Can I measure and install the window treatments myself?
We strongly recommend professional measure and installation to ensure your window treatments are a perfect fit. If Shutters and More of FL measure and install your new window coverings, we guarantee that every product fits precisely down to one eighth of an inch.
 
I already know what kind of window treatments I want, can I order them online or over the phone?
Shutters and More of FL provides free in-home design consultations to homeowners shopping for window treatments, therefore we recommend allowing a designer to visit your home to write up your order. We are window covering experts and will double check your product selection to ensure there are no overlooked details that would prevent a perfect fit.
 
Can you explain the in-home design process in more detail?
When you invite Shutters and More of FL into your home, our representative will bring the ideas and inspiration to you. You’ll discuss your window coverings project in more detail, as well as explore a wide selection of style, color and fabric options. We will measure your windows and provide you with a comprehensive quote during your consultation, that way you can place your order that day if you desire.
Once you place your order, your window treatments will be fabricated to your exact window specifications. Upon completion, your assigned installer will schedule an installation time that is convenient to you.
 
Will I be able to see product samples before I buy?
Yes, this is the beauty of Shutters and More of FL’s in-home design service. No need to shop online or visit a retail store. We will bring product samples to your home, so you’ll be able to explore an extensive selection of style, color and fabric options and see how the blinds, shades or shutters will look in the window before you buy.
 
What is the cost for a design consultation?
Whether in-home or over the phone, Shutters and More of FL consultations are free.
