Ian CheesemanForget those creaky, old-school window shutters that block all the sunlight. Recently, I visited a friend’s place and was blown away by their gorgeous new shutters—they were sleek, modern, and definitely light-diffusing.
Who knew shutters could be so stylish? That’s why I went on a mission to find the best spots in Toronto to get shutters that are both functional and fabulous.
So, for those who want to update their homes, here’s the lowdown on the top places to find the perfect shutters for your home in the 6ix!
How much does it cost to install shutters in Toronto?
The cost to install shutters in Toronto is between $20 to $35 per square foot for basic vinyl shutters, while wooden or custom shutters can range from $30 to $50 per square foot. Installation fees can add an extra $100 to $200 per window.
Factors like window size, design complexity, and additional features will also affect the total cost.
How We Chose the Best Shutter Shops in Toronto
1. Ava Window Fashions
Ava Window Fashions, a family-run business since 2018, specializes in blinds and California shutters. They’re trendy louvered window coverings (think farmhouse chic) that offer both privacy and light control.
Since this is their specialty, they offer the different materials, finishes, and styles available within this type of shutter. We also like their free consultation to assess your windows and help you decide if California shutters are the perfect fit for your home.
Once you choose your shutters, they’ll throw in free installation to save you the hassle. And they claim a one-week delivery window, which is pretty fast.
Additionally, they offer financing options with 0% interest, which can be helpful when budgeting for window treatments. Plus, a 5-year warranty adds peace of mind knowing your investment is protected.
Now, there’s one thing to consider. Their focus on California shutters means a limited selection of other shutter styles.
AMAZING PRICE FOR QUALITY SHUTTERS
“AMAZING PRICE FOR QUALITY SHUTTERS.. Great customer service and great follow up which is what many business lack. Mark came to quote and was very informative. The Shutters look Fabulous and we’re even better than my prior wooden ones.. Thank you so much. So pleased with the product, price and service. Highly recommend anyone looking for blinds or shutters.”

The shutters and blinds are beautiful
“I placed orders for Shutters and Zebra Blinds with Mark of Ava Shutters at two points this summer. Both orders were ready before the anticipated date. On installation date, Mark was efficient and explained the whole process to us. He also took extra precautions during the Pandemic. The installation was seamless and the shutters and blinds are beautiful. Mark’s professionalism and efficiency cannot be beat. Thank you Mark and Ava Shutters for everything! Your service and products are impeccable!”

2. Marquee Shutters & Blinds
Marquee Shutters & Blinds is a family-run gem in the GTA area, boasting a decade of experience in providing top-quality, Canadian-made shutters and blinds. As a bonus, they offer them at factory direct prices!
We appreciate their free in-home consultation service. They bring samples right to you, letting you see the materials, colors, and styles in your own space, which is super helpful for making the right choice.
Their range includes both vinyl and PVC shutters—they’re not only budget-friendly but also highly resistant to moisture, termites, and rot. And they are incredibly easy to clean—just some soap and water, and you’re good to go.
Additionally, they gather precise window measurements to ensure a perfect fit. They even back their products with a lifetime warranty.
On the other hand, we learned that their installation can take up to two weeks. But, with the quality they offer, we think it’s worth the wait.
I couldn’t be happier with our shutters!
“Recommended by a friend and did not disappoint! Mark went above and beyond during the whole process. He listened to all our needs, answered all our questions, helped us decide on the materials and worked with our budget. The installation process was seamless and efficient.

Highly recommended!”

3. Starlight Shutter
Scarborough’s Starlight Shutter has 10 years of experience under their belt, and they specialize in—wait for it—shutters. In fact, they’ve served over 4,000 Toronto households!
Their vinyl or PVC shutters are a hit—they’re customizable, easy to maintain, durable, and affordable. Plus, they offer a modern and stylish design that balances natural lighting and privacy perfectly.
For those who love the classic touch, they also offer wooden shutters. They help with insulation—potentially lowering your energy costs—and come in multiple colors and stains, with customization options like bi-folding, sliding, and stackable bypass styles.
We’re also impressed with their commitment to the environment; they use only sustainable wood for all their panels. And their free consultations and measurements, and their manufacturer’s warranty gives you peace of mind.
The only downside is that they’re so popular, it might be hard to book them.
The quality of the shutters and curtains is outstanding
“I had a fantastic experience with Starlight Shutter inc. The staff were incredibly attentive and professional. They took precise measurements, and provided me with all the solutions I needed. The quality of the shutters and curtains is outstanding, and their attention to detail made the entire process smooth and hassle-free. I highly recommend it.”

4. Luxury Window Coverings
Luxury Window Coverings is a top choice for custom-made window treatments, and their goal is to deliver superior service at affordable prices.
They back their goal with a free in-home consultation, where they provide design advice, measure your windows, and show samples, along with a same-day quote. They even offer a limited lifetime warranty.
Their shutters also come in both wood and vinyl composite, ensuring they won’t warp, peel, fade, or crack.
For vinyl shutters, you can choose from three louvre sizes and two tilt options, all with a durable finish. If you prefer wood, they use sustainably sourced hardwood with customizable painted or stained finishes.
And they’re committed to safety, with their products manufactured according to the American National Standards Institute for Child Safety (ANSI).
We did learn that installation can take up to four weeks. But, on the other hand, they do offer budget-friendly monthly promotions!
Guided me and provided excellent recommendations
“Typically, I have a hard time getting excited about window coverings. However, Adriano’s passion for his job is infectious. He guided me through the options, trade-offs, and provided excellent recommendations. He was able to install the blinds a week earlier than planned within a very tight time frame. If you want pleasant, prompt, and professional window covering installation, Luxury Window Coverings fits the bill.”
Leah Raftis, Google Review
Top notch service
“I can’t say enough about Adriano and the team at Luxury Window Coverings. Top notch service, quality and installation from start to finish. What sets Adriano apart from the rest is the time he takes to understand the needs of his customers upfront and his continued willingness to go above and beyond to make sure they are happy even post installation. If you’re in the market for motorized blinds, I couldn’t recommend Adriano and team more!”

5. Sunny Shutter
Sunny Shutter was founded by Bob & Ali over 20 years ago—they produced custom shutters in a garage. Today, they run an 8,000 sq ft factory with over 20 highly skilled experts, ensuring every wood and poly shutter is 100% made in Canada.
Their factory’s central location in the GTA area allows them to keep delivery costs low and offer competitive pricing, covering the whole GTA, Hamilton, and Clarington areas.
Also, they offer a wide range of shutter types, including Bypass Track shutters—perfect for sliding glass doors and Bi-Fold Window Shutters, ideal for various doors and even closets. They also have Café style shutters, providing full privacy on the bottom portion.
As a bonus, Sunny Shutter customizes shutters for French doors and bay and bow windows.
Despite their high-quality products and free consultation service, be prepared for a longer installation turnaround time—up to four weeks!
Very pleased with our new vinyl shutters!!
“We are very pleased with our new vinyl shutters!! They are super clean and the quality is great. The shutters definitely gave us the upgrade we were looking for around the house. The price was very reasonable and fair – best in the market! The whole process was extremely easy from the measuring to the quotation to the installation. The installation was so smooth and quick, only took a few hours. We very much liked how they showed respect for the home by wearing shoe coverings and maneuvered around the house with caution. They were all very polite and professional. We highly recommend Sunny Shutters! We will be using them again to complete our upstairs shortly! Thank you Lucas and team!”

Excellent company to buy shutters from
“We purchased vinyl shutters for our kitchen window and patio doors several months ago. Sunny Shutters did a great job. The people that we dealt with on the phone, the people that came to measure and the installers were all excellent. The price was very good too. We still wake up, come down to the kitchen and are really happy with the shutters. This is an excellent company to buy shutters from.”
