After working with other contractors and providers for home improvements, the French Brothers were like an oasis of efficiency, good work, friendliness, competitive cost and on time performance. They even gave me a tour of their facilities to show me how they manufacture their work, which was very impressive. The shutters look great, work great and feel very well built. I highly recommend them. read more

We've had custom shutters installed by Marty and his team in two rooms of our home now. They're high quality, look great, and I'm sure will last a long time. French Custom Shutters has always been accomodating. They ensured a project was done before our daughter was born and held an order through the Covid-19 shutdown until we were ready to have it installed. We'll be calling French Custom Shutters for future needs when we remodel our home. read more

I have been wanting shutters since I bought my place 4.5 years ago. I had interviewed a couple of other companies, but didn't like that the windows/doors would love different.

Marty French is the master of all shutters. He's smart, clean and efficient and quick and knowledgeable. Years ago our tenants crazy dog chewed the heck out of our plantation shutters and she found this company They were there in a flash and you would never know what Rover had done.

My parents built their dream house 20 years ago. My mom wanted the house to be filled with natural light and have an airy feel. My parents had shutters put in by French Customer Shutters and they are absolutely in love with them, even 20 years later! The wood shutters are 4.5 inches wide, which allows for sunlight to come into the house and give an unobstructed view of the outside while also protecting the furniture and wood floors from discoloration. The shutters are in every single room of my parent's house. My parents say that these shutters are one of the best investments they have ever made for the house, The quality of French Custom Shutters is amazing and they are timeless! read more

French Brothers Custom Shutters recently installed roller shades, soft wood blinds and woven wood shades in our new home. We love the way everything looks in our home and we are very satisfied with everyone at French Brothers Shutters.

The staff at French Brothers Custom Shutters are very knowledgeable about not only shades and blinds but their forte is really in woodworking, manufacturing wood shutters and installing wood shutters and closet doors. Customer service is paramount and when the co-owner Marty French says you get a the "small town treatment" it's very true.

If anyone needs shutters French's brothers is the place to start. I love my shutters. Well made and great quality. The installer was so great. He was so careful to keep everything clean after he was done with the installation. A family run business is the best part. I always like to give my business to a small Company. Sandy read more

I absolutely LOVE our shutters. They are gorgeous and incredible quality!! Thank you so much

With all the 5 star ratings, I have nothing more to add. French Brothers are knowledgeable, efficient and professional. For any future shutter needs, this is where I'll go. My needs were a little different. A 4' x 4' window is in my shower. For privacy concerns I choose an exterior shutter inside the shower. All is well & it looks great. read more

We used French Brothers to install our shutters several years ago. Recently, we hired them to refinish the shutters to match our new interior paint colors. The service and quality was excellent. We love our shutters and plan to enjoy them for many more years! read more

We have used Marty at every house we have owned in San Diego and have received excellent service and quality products. Highly recommended.

Filled out the form for a free quote. A girl called me back said someone named Marty would be out to my house Wednesday to give an estimate. No one showed up...not sure what happened. read more

Had a top-notch experience with French Custom Shutters! The owner, Marty, came out to give us a quote and had many ideas and suggestions that we never had considered. Was a great first experience. The Shutters were built quickly and price was competitive. Installation was fast - all of the employees we talked too were very friendly and helpful. We were blown away by the finished product! The Shutters look absolutely amazing and you can tell the high quality and care that went into building them. I would not go anywhere else in San Diego for shutters! Highly recommended! read more

I love my closet shutter doors. Marty was informative and patient. He assisted me in deciding without pushing me. He gave me his bid and there was several months delay on my part; he held onto the paper work and in 4 weeks they were installed. I did not go to their showroom and had never seen their work. I can't tell you how truly impressed I am with the quality, they are beautiful. Lastly, dealing with Marty, Faith (on the phone), and Rick the installer was a truly pleasant experience read more

Marty gave me quote 10-31-16 for shutters in a condo I had just bought. I didn't have the resources to move forward until May and he honored the 6 month+ quote. Marty has forgotten more about shutters than most people will ever know. It's a pleasure dealing with a true craftsman and expert. Jackie in the office is polite, friendly and professional and Rick, my installer, was quick efficient friendly and professional. If you need shutters give Marty and his staff a shot as I doubt you will be disappointed. read more

French Bros. have done all of the shutters in our home over a period of time. They all turned out perfectly, I am so thankful my dear friend Nancy introduced them to me 8 years ago. They installed shutters in our guest bed and bath last week and as always, they look beautiful, they were reasonably priced, and their customer service was top notch. Highly recommend these folks, they really do amazing work! read more

We had French Custom Shutters come back and do our upstairs. We opted for the 5 1/2 inch shutters again, which are fantastic for letting in lots of light. We had another excellent experience - I still recommend them with five stars. They did a great job with a couple of tricky shutters upstairs - one in our shower over tile and a trio of them on a rounded wall in our playroom. Their product is high quality, they have great design sense and installation went smoothly. read more

We just had shutters installed in our living room today by French Custom Shutters. They are beautiful, perform really well and are the unusual size of 5 1/2" slats which are very hard to find. Very professional installation and can't beat the quality and craftsmanship of the shutters. The paint color on the wood shutters was matched perfectly to our window casings and totally enhanced the room's atomsphere.They build them and install them. Very nice quality work all around. Pricing was comparable to other similar custom companys. We are very happy! read more

I called French Shutters due to reviews I had read while looking for a company to create custom shutters for dining room and kitchen. French was not the least expensive company but at completion of the installation it was clear "you get what you pay for". They matched the color of the shutters to my kitchen cabinets and it was a perfect match. The installation was perfect and seamless. The shutters have really given the final touch to my two rooms! I would highly recommend French Shutters! read more

These guys are unreal! The attention to quality and detail is un-matched. I visited their showroom in Spring Valley and was given a personal tour of their factory by Marty French himself. He walked me around and showed me each step they take to produce what is in reality a custom piece of furniture for your home. The work and time that goes into producing these totally custom shutters is really amazing in an era of ready made products. Based on what I saw, I have no doubt that my shutters will be good to go for the next 20 years. If you are looking for window coverings, you need to give these guys a call. read more

We used French Custom Shutters quite a few years ago to shutter almost our entire house. They did a phenomenal job!! My shutters still look brand new, after many years of covering our windows! I'm ready to call them again to finish up a few of the windows that I did not originally cover. I wouldn't dream of calling anyone else to do the job!! Friendly, reliable, professional, and extremely high-quality work!! I highly recommend!! read more

I will definitely be recommending them to friends and family. read more

We recently upgraded all the bypass sliding floor-to-ceiling closet doors and the face of the linen closet with custom "shutters" by French Brothers Custom Shutters and Doors. Everyone we worked with: Marty, Jim, and Rick (the installer), was prompt, professional, knowledgable, and fun to work with. The results were excellent - at a competitive price. We had been searching for someone local to take on this custom task and couldn't be happier with the outcome. A great way to update your tract home. read more

We recently had French Custom Shutters complete a job at our home. It was the second time we had used their services. Several years ago they upgraded our closet doors to a shutter style as well as a set of folding shutters for one of our sliding doors. We were very happy with their work and everything is still like new after several years. This job was an upgrade to our pantry located in the hallway. The existing was original equipment installed at the time the home was built. It was time for an upgrade. The problem was finding a contractor who could do what we wanted. Since we wanted the doors to match our other shutter doors, we contracted French Custom Shutters to see if they could also build the internal cabinet. We wanted slide out shelves as the pantry was 32 inches deep and fixed shelves made it difficult to use the entire shelf. Marty agreed to come out and look at the job. We discussed what we wanted and he had some great ideas to make it better. He agreed that they could do the work. It was installed early last week. It looks great. They provided everything we wanted. The workmanship is topnotch. The installers did a great job. They were done by noon, but had everything done and cleaned up. Everything was painted to match existing including molding at the ceiling and floor and the face matched up to the existing base molding. Looks like it has been there forever. This was 100% custom work. And it is perfect. So glad we were able to use French Custom Shutters for this job! Would highly recommend them to anyone. Mike & Barb read more

French Custom Shutters built beautiful plantation shutters for my living room and dining room windows. The craftsmanship is excellent --from mechanics to the finishes. I was especially impressed by their ingenuity in designing shutters for an unusual trifold window in my living room. Prior to finding French Custom Shutters, I asked two other window coverings businesses to come out to take a look at my window to see what they could do. The first told me I could do shutters, but not without a box that stuck out into my living room like a sore thumb. The second company told me that it would be impossible to put shutters on that window. French Custom Shutters was not deterred by a little challenge! I'm so happy with their work and highly recommend them. read more

These hand-made designs are simply amazing. The quality of their work as well as their service is quite something. Super knowledgable and friendly staff. read more

We highly recommend French Custom Shutters. We have used French Custom Shutters to design and install shutters in our home and are more than satisfied with the results. They provide a high quality product, as well as wonderful customer service. They have a wonderful and knowledgeable staff. Once again, we highly recommend them. read more

THE BEST SHUTTERS! Marty is very professional and an expert in his field. I called him to measure for wood stained shutters in my loft/landing area. We needed to match the stain of the door next to the window. When Marty was at my house, I told him about my dilemma about getting built in bookcase made with a stain that would match the shutters. The bookcase was to be installed directly below the shuttered window. Marty said they would be able to build the bookcase. His quote for both the book case and large shuttered window was extremely reasonable. All my shutters in my house are from French Shutters, so I know their finish quality is excellent. About 3-4 weeks later, my shutters & bookcase were ready for installation. The finish and stain are absolutely beautiful and match the cherry finish of the door next to it perfectly. Marty's company is responsive, and very well priced. I had previous experience in my last house with cheaply made shutters that don't hold up with time. In my current house, all my shutters are from Marty. My "old" shutters are 14 years old and they look and function like they are brand new. Marty makes quality products that last a lifetime. He and his crew are very professional and want to make sure that his customers are happy with the work. I HIGHLY recommend them. I have worked with a lot of contractors in my house. I have high standards for the work around my house. As a result, very few get follow on work due to quality or service. Marty and French Shutters is the exception. They do beautiful work at a reasonable price. I have called and will continue to call him back for future shutter and built in needs. We are extremely pleased with Marty and his team. read more

We have a new house built after the Cedar fire made of 8" walls and 11" roof panels of solid styrofoam "SIP" panels that allows no heat to get in. The window sun heat is amazingly obvious - even with dual glazing, dark tint and Low-e. After we moved in - it has been over 5 years since the French installation of 6 large windows south and west facing interior white basswood shutters. Personal and professional operation. They are holding up well, operate well, and when closed they eliminate the radiant heat. I plan on getting an estimate for 10 more this week to be installed before November. I recommend them.

I am working with French Custom Shutters to help me with a cornice on one of my window actually the only window that I do not have shutters on. After talking with Jim and meeting with Marty I am reminded of what a great company this is to work with. From beginning to end they are great. Not to mention the quality of there shutters I have had my shutters for over 20 years and they look brand new. They are at sturdy as the day they were put in. I would highly recommend them with all the confidence that you would be more that pleased. read more

Phenomenal quality and a crew with high work ethic. Their installations were flawless and looked beautiful.

Absolutely thrilled with the project. Marty understood my "vision" for something unique and Jim was patient in my choice of a stain color that achieved my vision. Very reasonable and easy to work with. Thank you! read more
