Plantation Shutter Project Scheduling: What to Expect
One of the most common questions before a custom shutter project is: “How long will this take?” The answer depends on the number of windows, their dimensions and configurations, the selected finish, current workshop scheduling, and the installation plan.
How the Schedule Is Set
In-Home Consultation and Measurement
A Shenandoah consultant measures the windows and reviews finish options, louver size, panel configuration, and frame style. These details establish what must be built for the project.
Custom Fabrication in Richmond
Every shutter is made to order in the Richmond workshop. Standard openings and specialty shapes require different fabrication steps, so the workshop schedule is reviewed after the measurements and configuration are confirmed.
Installation Day
When the shutters are ready, the team schedules installation based on the number of openings and the work required at the home. Shenandoah confirms the expected installation plan before the appointment.
What Affects the Schedule?
- Number of windows: A larger project requires more measuring, fabrication, finishing, and installation work.
- Specialty shapes: Arched, circular, angled, and other custom openings require additional planning and fabrication.
- Finish selection: The selected paint or stain affects the finishing process.
- Workshop and installation scheduling: Current project volume affects the dates available.
Can Installation Be Done in Phases?
Ask the consultant whether phasing is appropriate for your project. Each phase would be measured, quoted, built, and scheduled as part of the agreed project plan.
