Custom plantation shutters in Laguna Niguel

Dave Harris, co-founder of Golden West Shutters, has lived in Laguna Niguel for over thirty years. Most of our crew has installed in the same neighborhoods he raised his family in: Marina Hills, Bear Brand Ranch, Niguel Summit, the Monarch Point hillside lots, and the San Joaquin Hills homes built by S&S Homes in the 1990s. We did over 150 installations in Marina Hills alone, working with Taylor Morrison while the community was still being built out.

The LN homes that come to us are usually a few generations into ownership: bought new from Taylor Morrison, Lennar, S&S, Standard Pacific, or Richmond American twenty or thirty years ago, and now ready for their second or third round of window treatments. The original blinds and vertical sliders are showing their age. Wood plantation shutters are the natural next step, and for the hillside homes with strong afternoon exposure, our Polylux hybrid is the most-recommended option.

A few things specific to Laguna Niguel: the Kite Hill and Beacon Hill homes tend to have unusual ceiling-height transitions in the front rooms, so the shutter heights are not consistent floor to floor. Bear Brand Ranch has more arched openings than the average MV or Aliso Viejo neighborhood. The country-club homes near El Niguel have French doors with cutouts that require milled panels, not stock. We've been making them for thirty-five years.
