Enhance Your Coastal Home with Bahama & Colonial Shutters

Along the Texas Gulf Coast, homeowners want more than just protection — they want beauty, character, and long‑lasting value. That’s exactly why Bahama and Colonial shutters continue to be some of the most popular upgrades for homes across Galveston Island, Surfside, Sargent, and all the way down to Matagorda.

These shutters aren’t just decorative accents. When built the right way, they become a defining feature of your home’s architecture while offering real, functional benefits that last for decades.

Why Aluminum Shutters Are the Smart Choice for Coastal Homes

Traditional wood and plastic shutters simply aren’t designed for the salty, humid coastal environment. They warp, fade, crack, and require constant repainting or replacement — costing homeowners time and money.

At Galveston Shutter & Shade Co., we offer a better solution.

Every louvered product we build is:

  • Custom‑made for your home
  • Crafted from 100% extruded aluminum
  • Finished with a super‑durable powder coat
  • Engineered to withstand the harsh Gulf Coast climate

These shutters are built to last decades, not seasons. No rotting. No peeling. No constant maintenance. Just long‑term beauty and performance.

Colonial Shutters: Classic Charm with Modern Durability

Colonial shutters bring a traditional, elegant look to your home’s exterior. With our extruded aluminum construction and powder‑coat finish, you get the historic style you want with the durability your coastal home demands.

We offer both decorative and hurricane‑rated options, giving you the flexibility to match your home’s needs and your personal style.

Hurricane Protection That Doesn’t Look Industrial

Many homeowners assume hurricane protection means bulky, industrial‑looking products. Not true.

Our hurricane‑rated Bahama and Colonial shutters are engineered to meet Texas Windstorm (TDI) requirements — and we can show you exactly how we calculate the windstorm needs of your home to maintain TWIA insurability.

You get real protection without sacrificing the charm and character of your home.
