Back-to-School, Back to Projects: Why Late Summer Is the Perfect Time for New Shutters
As the school year kicks off and the days start to get just a little shorter, many homeowners shift their focus back to home projects that may have been on hold during the busy summer months.
Late summer is the ideal time to invest in new shutters, giving your home a fresh look now and setting it up for comfort and style as the cooler months approach.
Enjoy Comfortable Installation Weather
Late summer brings warm days without the intense heat of midsummer, making it a great time for exterior projects. Installing shutters now means your home will be ready to handle temperature swings and provide better insulation before fall arrives.
Quality shutters—whether solid wood, composite, or interior plantation styles—can help regulate indoor temperatures and reduce energy costs year-round.
Boost Curb Appeal Before the Holiday Season
With the lush greens of summer still in full view, new shutters can make your home stand out beautifully. Whether you choose a classic louvered design, an elegant raised-panel look, or a breezy Bahama style, shutters add depth and charm to your exterior.
Many homeowners find that pairing new shutters with a fresh coat of exterior paint delivers the most dramatic transformation. A trusted local painter like CertaPro Painters can help you coordinate colors and finishes for a polished, cohesive look.

Get Ahead of the Fall Rush
August is the sweet spot for scheduling home improvements. Contractors often have more flexibility now than they will once fall projects ramp up.
Working with Advantage Shutters’ local, in-house team means you can go from free quote to installation quickly, avoiding the seasonal backlog and having your home refreshed well before the holidays.
Invest in Lasting Quality
Shutters aren’t just a quick style update. They’re a long-term investment.
