Estate Millwork offers exterior shutters services for builders, contractors, architects

Pittsburgh, PA ( PressReleaseCollection ) July 17, 2009 – Summer is prime time for new construction projects and Estate Millwork, an exterior shutter manufacturer, is emphasizing its broad range of customer service options for builders, contractors, architects, and homeowners

The company, known for its all-wood exterior shutters, provides builders with quick quoting services, single-point customer service, web-based exterior shutter ordering, and many samples and amenities for builders, contractors, and architects.

“We offer a number of amenities to support your home or company,” says Estate Millwork representative Jim Jackson. “Of course, we offer great deals on exterior shutters – and good discounts for big projects. But we also offer services that make your total business experience more pleasant.”

One hallmark of the exterior shutter company is its mill-workers’ ability to render custom shutters from AutoCAD drawings or sketches. Estate Millwork fills orders for builders on spec, and accepts CAD drawings, sketches, and low- and high-resolution renderings.

Architects can benefit from these services, too.

“Many architects come to us because they want to reproduce a specific period piece or a certain kind of exterior shutter,” Jackson says. He notes that Estate Millwork craftsmen can deftly reproduce exterior shutters from various drawings, including three-dimensional renderings. In addition, the company has a large library of 18th- and 19th-century architecture and carpentry books to which designers can refer. For more info, visit their full catalog of exterior shutters. Many books feature detailed instructions on exterior shutter styling from those time periods.

For learning purposes, says Jackson, architects, builders, or contractors can schedule shop tours to get a better idea of how Estate Millwork operates. A plant tour enables a worker or a group to learn how Estate Millwork uses advanced robotics to streamline and perfect exterior shutter craftsmanship, while still delivering hand-assembled, hand-finished results.

Estate Millwork also helps architects build greener buildings. All window shutters are crafted from sustainable-harvest timber. The plant is green, too: Jackson and his crew pride themselves on enforcing strict temperature controls and recycling requirements in the shutter-making plant.

In a down economy, says Jackson, some homeowners turn to do-it-yourself solutions. So the company added the Online Design Tool to its website in 2008. Now, homeowners can accurately specify the dimensions of their exterior shutters with just a few clicks.

“That doesn't replace the human factor,” says Jackson. He notes that Estate Millwork staff can assist homeowners in the measuring process, or help them choose the right kinds of exterior shutters for their homes. Homeowners interested in historic reproductions or period-specific exterior shutters can also request custom orders, and Estate Millwork staff members will guide them through the custom millwork process from start to finish.
