Plantation Shutters In Raymore
Plantation Shutters in Raymore, MO
Plantation Shutters give a newer Raymore home the built in finish its windows never got from the builder. A custom home in Creekmoor or a two story off I-49 deserves a window treatment that looks like it came with the house, and our Solar Shield Blinds Plantation Shutters are made to each window and can raise what the home is worth.
Where It Fits In Raymore
Where Plantation Shutters fit in Raymore
In the newer homes here, a shutter is the upgrade that a builder window never had, and it stays with the house when you sell.
- Creekmoor and custom homesIn a home built to be looked at, shutters finish the front of the house from the street and the great room from inside, and larger louvers open to the view out back.
- Two story entries with archesThe arched or angled transom over a Raymore entry is the window nothing else fits. A shutter built to that shape covers it and looks like it belongs.
- Resale in a growing townRaymore keeps adding new homes, and a house with shutters stands out when it's time to sell, because a shutter is considered a built in feature.
- Bathrooms that steamComposite and poly shutters come with a waterproof option, so a shutter over the tub holds up to steam every morning and still matches the rest of the house.
Worth Knowing
The built in upgrade for a newer home
Raymore's houses are young, and many came with the plainest windows a builder could order. Plantation Shutters change that. They're considered a built in feature of a home, which is why they can lead to a higher property value, and in a growing town where new homes go up every year that matters at resale. In Creekmoor they finish the great room and the front of the house, and in the two stories off I-49 they solve the arched transom over the entry. We're proud to be Kansas City's leading Plantation Shutter expert, having installed thousands of shutters.
Every shutter is built to your window's exact shape and size, arches and angles included. We build louvers from 1 7/8 inch up to 4 1/2 inch, and a larger louver opens to more view. Invisible Tilt hides the tilt rod, and split tilt lets the bottom close for privacy from the sidewalk while the top stays open. Real wood is the lightest and takes a stain, and composite and poly come in painted finishes with a waterproof option. Shutters tilt and don't lift, so there's no cord anywhere on them.
Shutters cost more than blinds, so for a first time buyer we recommend starting with the front of the house or the great room and adding rooms later, which the itemized quote makes easy. They take 8 to 10 weeks from order to install because each one is built to your window, and free paper temporary shades go up right away. The consultation is free, every opening is measured on site, the quote holds for 180 days, and our own full time Install Techs install every panel.

Tilt Options
Four ways to tilt Plantation Shutters in Raymore
Shutters tilt rather than lift. Your Design Specialist brings a sample of each tilt style so you can work it at your own window.
Standard tilt
A center rod down the panel. The traditional look.
Offset tilt
Rod moved to the side so it does not divide the view.
Invisible tilt
Linkage hidden inside the stile. The cleanest option.
Split tilt
Top and bottom halves operate independently.

Straight Answers
Plantation Shutters questions from Raymore homeowners
They can. Shutters are a built in feature that stays with the house, which is why they can lead to a higher property value, and in a town with new homes going up every year, that helps a resale stand out. The Carefree Guarantee coverage also transfers to the next owner.
Yes. Arches, angles, eyebrow arches and octagons all get a shutter built to the exact shape, and the two story entries off I-49 and MO 58 have plenty of them. We measure and template the shape on site and match the finish to the shutters below.
Yes, the larger ones. A 3 1/2 or 4 1/2 inch louver gives you the biggest view out when it's open and closes tight against the low evening sun. Smaller louvers suit bathrooms and bedrooms, and split tilt lets you close the lower half and leave the top open.
Yes. A shutter tilts on its louvers and never lifts, so there's no cord or loop anywhere on it, which makes shutters a good fit for kids' rooms. Invisible Tilt removes even the tilt rod, leaving a clean panel.
Yes. Each shutter is built to your window's measurements, which takes 8 to 10 weeks from order to install, longer than the 4 to 6 weeks for shades. Every window you ordered for gets a free paper temporary shade in the meantime.
No. A soft cloth on the louvers handles the dust, and a little mild soap and water on the same cloth takes care of a deeper clean. Skip abrasive cleaners. Composite and poly shutters are the easiest to keep clean, and if a louver or hinge ever works loose, the Carefree Guarantee covers the fix.
