Question 1

How much do plantation shutters cost in Calabasas?

Accepted Answer

Plantation shutter pricing depends on window size, material (poly composite, hardwood, or MDF hybrid), and configuration. 818 Shutters & Shades provides transparent, all-inclusive quotes that cover materials, custom fabrication, and professional installation with no hidden fees. We're typically 30-40% less than big-box franchise competitors for equal or better quality. Book an in-home design visit for an exact quote.

Question 3

Do you offer motorized shades?

Accepted Answer

Yes — we offer smart motorized shades and blinds with app control, Alexa and Google Home voice integration, and programmable schedules. Motorized options are available for roller shades, cellular shades, and blinds.

Question 4

What is the difference between roller shades and cellular shades?

Accepted Answer

Roller shades use a single layer of fabric that rolls up on a tube — they offer a clean, modern look and are available in solar, blackout, and dual-shade options. Cellular shades have a honeycomb construction that traps air for superior insulation, reducing energy costs.

Question 5

How long does installation take?

Accepted Answer

Most installations are completed in a single visit — typically 2-4 hours for a standard project. Larger whole-home installations may take a full day. From consultation to installation, the total process is usually 3-6 weeks depending on the product.

Question 6

Do you offer in-home design visits?

Accepted Answer

Yes. A $150 measure fee secures your in-home visit and is credited toward your order. We come to your home, show you material samples in your actual space and lighting, take precise measurements, and provide a transparent quote that includes materials, fabrication, and professional installation.
