    With the advances in paint and technology, has anyone in Southern Walk had success with painting their plastic shutters instead of replacing them?

    Someone said if you paint them, you void any warranty. We called Archer Exteriors (for Van Metre) and they came and replaced them for us a few years ago. Depending on your builder, I suppose they would know who installed them.

    Update…I am the original owner of the home that was originally built in 2005. As is turned out, my shutters were replaced under the lifetime warranty, but it was up to me to have the new ones installed. I was able to replace 7 of the 10 shutters myself. The remaining 3 shutters were located above a Bay Window bump out in the living room. These 3 were more of a challenge due to the location required and angle of the ladder, etc. I was not comfortable trying to do the remaining three myself.

    Based on other recommendations found on this board, I called Mike Rosario (703 862 0415). He had 2 men at my home two days later and the remaining 3 shutters were installed in no time. The fee charged was very reasonable. I am completely satisfied with their work and would not hesitate to use him again or recommend him to others.
