Traditional Exterior Shutters in Tacoma

We were asked to make real operable exterior shutters for a classic colonial style home. This project started out as an email inquiry that included a list of sizes of the shutters they would need. We emailed back a quote and then they asked about installation. We sourced the black wrought iron hardware that the client described. Next came an on site measure to go over all the final details and take the manufacturing measurements. It took about six weeks from the order date for the shutters to be manufactured in our shop in Redmond and installed at the residence in Tacoma. Here are a couple of photos of the finished shutters. Note the metal capping on the top of the shutters. This is an added detail we do to protect the tops of the shutters as that is where the moisture is most likely to enter. We craft a metal capping in-house for each shutter to prevent this from happening.

Louver Doors in the Northwest

What a rewarding project this was! A hotel in downtown Seattle was ready for refurbishment. The owners wanted to start at the basement level and proceed floor by floor to renovate their hotel. Louver doors made out of English Walnut with a clear finish were specified. We looked at the plans and knew we could manufacture louver doors to their exact specifications. The quote was worked, hand-drawn detailed plans were submitted (the owner still likes to do them this way), and the doors were delivered on-time to be installed in December 2012 and look great! In the beginning I mentioned the project was rewarding because it was the first time to work with this particular builder, architect, and designer. The rewarding part comes when they entrust their vision to you and you are able to help make it happen.
