I would wholeheartedly recommend Shutters By Rae. I had a unique experience of trying to surprise my wife while she was out of town with shutters for practically the whole house. As soon as Donna came over I knew I would be working with her. There were no hidden or surprise costs. She was very upfront and clear. She brought great samples of the shutters so I could see the inside of them, and how they are made. Donna was very clear about the value of the shutters, and I am very confident I got a good price! Donna was also very good about guiding me when I needed suggestions, but not at all in a pushy salesperson sort of way. It almost felt like a friend helping me to bless my wifey ! She even called the company to see if they could expedite the order so I could surprise my wife. The install team was very professional and thorough. They took their time in answering questions. Mission Accomplished! We were able to surprise my wife She loves them. Thank you Donna, Ian, and Tyler! Thank you Shutters By Rae!! read more

I love, love, LOVE our shutters. We got them when we moved into our house 6 years ago. They are my #1 favorite thing in our entire house. Last summer we replaced all of our windows. We were able to salvage some of the shutters but not in 2 of the bedrooms (the window opening was cut too long to reuse the old shutters). I called two places to get quotes. Shutters by Rae was substantially cheaper. Donna (the owner) is really friendly and nice. Easy to talk to. Very responsive. She had our quote within a couple of hours after coming over. She has two ordering options. Overseas; which takes a bit of time (obviously) but she also has a local option where they are made right here in Long Beach!! We opted for the latter as I was eager to get our house back in order after being in disarray for several months due to construction. Locally made takes about 2 weeks; ours were ready in less than 2 weeks! The local option did cost a tad bit more but nothing huge in my opinion. If I were doing a big house with several windows I'm sure I would go with the overseas option, but for our 4 windows it was worth it to me to pay the small amount more to have them weeks sooner. The installation process was quick and efficient. They were done and gone within an hour. There is a fantastic warranty on them too. I HIGHLY recommend this business for your shutter needs. read more

I just had my shutters installed by Shutters by Rae and I absolutely love them. Donna Rae came out to give an estimate and she is seriously the nicest person I've probably ever met. I got a couple other quotes and she was by far the best price. I didn't have any window treatments when waiting for the shutter installation. A nice touch that Donna offered was she had her installers come and place temorary window coverings so we weren't in a fish bowl, which was life changing! The shutters took about an hour to install and I love them so much. This is literally the only company that should be considered for shutters! read more

It all starts with Donna, who is just the best! Not only is she friendly, she is an expert in her field and very knowledgeable about shutters. She explains everything & there is no pressure at all! And these shutters are not only beautiful, they are excellent quality! It ends with Ian and Brooke, who came out for the installation. Both unbelievably skilled, highly proficient and professional; but in a casual way that made it very, very nice to work with them. And a special shout out to Ian, who actually blew our minds how talented, skilled & good he is at what he does. A+++ for this company & all involved. Highly recommend! read more

Personal touch: 10/10 Affordable: 10/10 Customization: 10/10 Quality: 10/10 Customer service: 10/10 Attention to detail: 10/10 This was the second estimate I received for my home. The first estimate was over $17,000 and did not include covering very window in my home. I contacted Shutter by Rae for a second estimate and met with the owner (Donna). Donna was pleasant, professional and knowledgeable. She took her measurements and stated she could beat any other competitors price and would contact me with her estimate within the hour (P.S. I never told Donna about the 1st estimate of $17,000). Surprisingly her estimate was $12,000 lower than the 1st estimate, plus her estimate included window coverings for my entire home. Within 30 days my shutters were ordered, delivered and installed. Donna and her team were outstanding. The installers were very timely, professional and neat. I would highly recommend Shutters by Rae. Quality and value are unmatched!!! Thanks again Donna. read more

I wanted to get a few more quotes for Shutters after our puppy ate our wood mini blinds. When she grew out of her puppy phase, we decided it was time to fix up the windows. I was surprised to find a local business within Lakewood, so I reached out and got a quick reply and a free estimate the next day. Donna was so nice, easy to talk to, and Didn't press for the sale. She very helpful in thinking about different aspects that I would've never thought of. She gave us different options to meet our budget and we pulled the trigger on doing the whole house and got a bit of a discount. The install was quick, easy, and professional and we are so happy with the outcome. So glad we decided to do everything and not leave a few undone as we would have regretted it. Looks like a new and fresh house, And very elevated. Very happy with them. Although we probably won't need Shutters in the future from them, we are going to recommend them to our friends, family and neighbors. Thank you for everything! read more

This is the number one Shutter company in Southern California! The owner Donna is so knowledgeable and professional, she answered every one of our questions, and there were a lot of them.

The price was unquestionably lower than we expected and the time from ordering and installation was faster than we anticipated. Donna is a kind person who genuinely cares about her customers and wants them to be completely satisfied after the shutters are in. We are so happy and are extremely proud to show off our shutters to everyone who comes to our home. Great owner, great company!! read more

All around great experience with shutters by Rae. I wasn't sure about shutters. I am so happy we called this company. They reviewed several options, explained the differences of the different types and materials. And, I was shocked that the price was less than what I guessed it might be. Purchase experience was fast and easy. Throughout the time while we waited for the shutters to arrive, we were updated about the process and schedule. The frequency of updates and communication was awesome. When it came time for installation, they were fast, clean and very detailed oriented. They cared about the quality and finish. I don't know why I waited so long for shutters. They are a gamer changer. Working with Shutters by Rae was awesome. Would recommend them to everyone. Thank you so much ! read more

I recently purchased 19 plantation shutters from Shutters by Rae and am offering this review in the hope that it will benefit others considering a similar purchase. Prior to contacting Donna Rae Capito, I had seen her ad in the local 908 magazine and had also seen her "Shutters by Rae" SUV parked in her driveway while walking my dog to a nearby park. Since I've always been a proponent of supporting local home-grown businesses, I decided to contact Donna so I texted her on a Sunday afternoon and was not expecting a reply until the next business day; however, she responded within an hour and was at my house the next day to do some reconnaissance prior to preparing an estimate. Initially, I was only planning on purchasing a dozen shutters; however, upon receiving Donna's quote, I found the cost to be much lower than anticipated (in comparison with per square foot shutter cost information readily available on the internet). So, I decided to add another six shutters and a bi-fold closet door to the order. I opted to purchase domestically produced shutters so they were ready to install in two weeks, with the exception of a custom-made octagonal window shutter, which took an extra couple weeks to produce and install. Prior to placing my order, I asked Donna for references. She provided four references. I contacted all four and was able to reach three of them, each of whom provided glowing references for Donna's company. Eighteen of the 19 shutters were installed in a single day with the octagonal shutter being installed a couple of weeks later. The installation process went smoothly although there was a bit of a hiccup with the clean-up (while all my prior window coverings including drapes and mini-blinds were removed from my house and disposed of per my directions, several pieces of small hardware were left behind for me to dispose). When I brought this to Donna's attention, she immediately offered to send her installer back to remove the hardware left behind or issue a credit to my account. I chose the latter. Throughout the whole process, from my initial contact on a Sunday afternoon until project completion, Donna was in constant contact with me via text and/or phone, always keeping me up-to-date on the status of my order and the pending installation (even when she was on a brief vacation). As a small businessperson myself, I truly appreciate Donna's responsiveness. Good communication is the most important aspect of any business, and Donna excels at it. I have been very happy with the high quality shutters Donna provided and highly recommend you give Donna a chance to meet your needs if you're in the market for some new shutters. You won't be disappointed. read more

We just had a great experience with Donna. She came out and explained shutter options for our windows. She provided us with a quote within a couple or hours. We so pleased with her pricing that we quickly accepted her quote. Thanks so much for your help - we are looking forward to getting our new shutters. If anyone needs shutters for your home, definitely go to Shutters By Rae! read more

I can't believe the difference these shutters made to my home. The whole team is so professional and lovely to work with. Highly recommend.

I'd always loved the look of shutters, but life happened and we never really got to it. I found Shutters by Rae in a neighborhood Facebook group, and I am so glad and thankful that I did. From day one Donna was quick and easy to communicate with. She scheduled an estimate just a few days after I initially reached out. Her inspection was thorough, attentive to detail, and very informative. We learned many things about shutters and she had no problem asking any and all questions we had. Shutters by Rae offers a variety of options for your preference in shutters, and we very much so appreciated that. Once we committed to purchasing, Donna kept us updated weekly w the status of the shutters. Once the shutters were ready, we were scheduled for installation within the week. The installers took about 3hrs to install. Throughout the installation process Donna made sure we were 100% satisfied and made any adjustments we requested. We could not have selected a different company to collaborate with. Thank you sooo much Donna and team. We absolutely love our shutters and so does everyone else that comes to visit. Totally forgot to mention, you cannot beat the prices. So if you're looking to add shutters to your house, you will not regret doing business w Shutters by Rae! read more
