Installing Your New Orange County Shutters Yourself

Though many of our customers hire us to install the Orange County shutters that they've purchased from us, there is a small group of them that prefers to install their new shutters themselves. While we always recommend professional installation to our customers, we understand that some people prefer to do it themselves or simply don't want to spend additional money on installation which is why we offer the following tips.

Installing Orange County shutters isn't a very difficult process if you keep the following in mind!

• Following Instructions: Any homeowner who aims to install their new shutters themselves should follow the detailed instructions that accompany the shutters they've purchased. Those that deviate from the instructions will always encounter problems.

• Measuring shutters to fit your windows: The measuring process is the first thing that a do-it-yourselfer needs to deal with. Precise measurements are the key to a successful and proper installation.

• Determining the preferred type of installation: Homeowners will also need to determine whether they want to install their new Orange County shutters on the inside of the window opening or on the outside of the window opening. Both types of installations have their pros and cons though most professionals usually recommend that homeowners have their shutters installed on the inside of the window opening.

• Taking it slow/Accuracy: Measurements are a huge part of shutter installation and can be difficult to read at times. Measuring more than once or asking a friend to measure the same thing you just did will help ensure that your measurements are accurate. Rushing through the installation of your shutters can result in damage to your shutters, damage to your window, and can cost you more money. This is why we recommend that every do-it-yourselfer take it slow and even contact a professional when they find themselves frustrated or unsure of anything.
