Exterior Shutter Repairs

We can repair your old, wood exterior shutters

When it comes to wooden exterior shutters, homeowners and preservationists often face a key decision: should you repair your existing shutters, or replace them with new ones?

At Kestrel Shutters & Doors, we specialize in historic shutters, both repairing and replacing them. We can replicate the design, profiles, and details of your original shutters, making sure they maintain their original charm and craftsmanship while reinforcing their durability for years to come.

Repairing vs. Replacing: Which is Right for You?

Repairing your existing shutters is sometimes the best option if your goal is to preserve historical character, maintain architectural integrity, or you need to adhere to local preservation guidelines. However, there are times when a full replacement makes more sense. If a shutter has extensive rot or structural damage, a new shutter may be the better investment. When possible we work to save the original shutters.

The best way to proceed is to send us an email with some photos, and any information that you think will be helpful.

Our Expertise in Shutter Restoration

At Kestrel Shutters & Doors, we approach every restoration project with care and precision. We have worked with the National Park Service, as well as with homeowners looking to preserve the history of their homes.

Each shutter is individually assessed to determine the best course of action, whether it requires minor repairs, reconstruction of damaged sections, or, in some cases, complete replacement. Because different sides of your home have different exposure to the weather, it is not uncommon to get a mix of minor and major repairs.
