Elevate Your Home with Custom Shutters
For over 45 years, Carole Frederick has been the premier choice for custom window treatment solutions in Southern California.
We believe your window coverings should be more than just a functional necessity - they should be an architectural feature tailored to your home and your unique style. With an unmatched selection of high-quality hardwoods, moisture-resistant polymers, custom paint finishes, and precision tilt mechanisms, our goal is to design your dream shutters together with you.
Our team of expert designers works with you every step of the way to create exquisite shutters that transform any room into your ideal space.
Wood or Composite Shutters?
Material selection is the foundation of long-lasting shutter design. We evaluate light exposure, humidity levels, architectural framing, and how you interact with your windows to recommend the ideal louver width and material build for your space.
Wood Shutters
Natural Warmth & Artisanal Grain
Handcrafted from 100% sustainably sourced hardwoods like premium Basswood and Poplar, custom wood shutters offer lightweight strength and rich tactile depth. Ideal for grand foyers, living rooms, and bedrooms, they can be finished in smooth custom paints or rich stain tones to highlight natural wood grains.
Composite Shutters
High-Performance Moisture Protection
Engineered with a dense polymer finish over a solid core, composite shutters provide the classic look of painted wood with superior scuff, chip, and humidity resistance. They are the ideal solution for high-moisture spaces like bathrooms, kitchens, and sun-drenched coastal rooms.

Bespoke Customizations & Specialty Configurations
More Light & Privacy Control
Operates the top and bottom louvers independently within a single panel. Keep lower louvers closed for street-level privacy while keeping upper louvers open for natural daylight.
Cover Even the Widest Windows
Integrated structural support posts and expert design allow multiple shutter panels to span even very wide window openings seamlessly without sagging.
Unique Shapes Deserve Unique Designs
Highlight unique architectural features instead of hiding them away with specialty shutters made to the exact specifications of your window. Whether triangle, round, arched or otherwise special, we would love to help you create a bespoke design.
French Doors Deserve Custom Shutters
Accentuate your French doors and their elegant hardware with shutters that fit perfectly around the handles. No odd overlaps or gaps - simply beautifully shaped design.
Open Side-to-Side for a Sleek Profile
