FAQ

Our aluminum shutters are precision-cut to your exact measurements, then expertly assembled by fastening key structural components for strength and stability. The rails are designed to overlap seamlessly, creating a clean, polished appearance while enhancing the overall durability of the shutter.

Once assembled, each shutter is powder-coated in-house, giving it a durable, weather-resistant finish that resists scratching, fading, and corrosion—even in South Louisiana’s harsh climate.

Not only do they look great, but many of our aluminum shutter styles are also storm-rated, offering reliable protection against hurricanes and severe weather.

Absolutely. We specialize in custom shutter solutions and regularly build styles that aren’t featured on our website. If you have a specific design in mind—or need something unique to fit your home’s architecture—our team can bring your vision to life.

Yes! Every shutter from Gulf Coast Shutters is custom-built to your exact specifications—including size, color, finish, and style.

We don’t believe in one-size-fits-all solutions. Custom fabrication ensures a perfect fit for your windows and doors and allows you to choose a look that complements your home or business. Whether you're going for sleek and modern or classic Southern charm, your shutters will be made just for you—no exceptions.

At Gulf Coast Shutters, all of our shutters are proudly made from high-quality aluminum—chosen for its superior strength, durability, and ability to hold custom colors and finishes.

While some companies offer wood or plastic shutters, those materials are prone to warping, cracking, and rotting—especially in South Louisiana’s hot, humid climate. With aluminum shutters, you’ll enjoy long-lasting protection and peace of mind without the maintenance worries.

Let Us Handle the Measuring—It's What We Do Best
Getting the perfect fit for your shutters starts with accurate measurements—and we make that part easy. While you’re welcome to provide the width and height of each window along with your preferred shutter style, some windows (like arches or custom shapes) may need a little extra attention to get it just right.

That’s where we come in.

One of our experienced team members will come directly to your home or business to take precise measurements and walk you through your options. Whether it’s a standard window or a unique architectural detail, we’ll make sure everything is measured perfectly.

This service is completely free and includes a no-obligation quote, so you’ll know exactly what to expect—no surprises.

We’re here to make the process simple, professional, and stress-free. Reach out today to schedule your free estimate or ask any questions—we’re happy to help!

We offer both storm-rated and non-rated shutter options to fit your specific needs and budget.
Our storm-rated shutters are engineered to meet or exceed Texas Department of Insurance (TDI) requirements and comply with International Residential Code (IRC) and International Building Code (IBC) standards—providing reliable protection during hurricanes and severe weather.

If you’re looking for decorative or non-rated shutters, we also offer beautiful, durable options perfect for enhancing curb appeal without the added cost of wind-load certification.
