text: How Difficult Are DIY Shutters? | Sunburst Shutters Raleigh
  Getting home design projects done by yourself in Raleigh has never been easier. Since you have a lot of resources easily available to walk you through every step, many projects that used to be hard are now very doable.
  Though it can seem easy at the start, getting the exact window measurements for plantation shutters can be somewhat tricky. As one of our shutter experts says, "There's about a thousand ways to measure windows wrong, but only one way to do it right54." There's a lot of ways windows can vary that will change the way you measure.
  In addition, there can be some added confusion with shutter terminology. Working with shutter experts helps eliminate any confusion, so you get exactly what you want for your windows.
  First off, shutter installation needs to be precise, and a small mistake in measuring at the beginning or in hanging a bracket can throw everything else off. Shutters can also be physically hard to maneuver on your own; depending on the material and your window's position, lifting a shutter can be very cumbersome and in some cases hazardous.
  DIYing your shutters may save you some cash if it all goes according to plan. But it's worthwhile to know just how easily something can go wrong during the process, and how that can cost you all the money you could have saved.
