For homeowners
Why factory-direct shutters cost less
Most shutter companies resell shutters another company built, and add their markup. We build ours in our own Lake Forest factory and sell them direct, with no dealer or franchise in between. See who builds your shutters, or tour our factory.
Can homeowners buy shutters wholesale?
Yes. You get factory pricing and talk with the factory owners, not a commissioned salesperson. Your price is a written quote from the owner.

Wholesale shutter questions
Where can I get the best prices for shutters in Orange County?
Buying direct from the manufacturer usually costs less, because there is no dealer or franchise markup. Golden West Shutters is Orange County's only plantation shutter factory, in Lake Forest since 1987. Shutters start as low as $250 a window installed, and every price is a written quote from the owner.
How much do wholesale plantation shutters cost?
At our Lake Forest factory, shutters start as low as $250 for a small window. Most standard windows run $450 to $700 installed, and large windows run up to about $1,200. See the 2026 price guide.
How much do plantation shutters cost for a whole house?
A home with 12 to 16 windows, common for a 2,500 to 3,000 square foot South Orange County home, typically runs $6,000 to $11,000 installed. Window count and sizes move the price more than the material does.
Is it cheaper to buy shutters direct from the manufacturer?
Usually, yes. When you buy from Golden West you buy from the people who build the shutters, with no dealer, franchise or sales commission in between. Your written quote comes from the owner.
Why do shutter quotes vary so much?
Quotes differ by who builds the shutters, the material, the frame, how they are fitted and who installs them. A dealer adds markup to a shutter another company built. Compare the full installed price for the same windows, material and warranty.
How do I compare shutter quotes?
Check the same five things on every quote: who builds the shutters, the material, the frame and louver size, whether installation by the company's own crew is included, and the warranty. Compare shutter companies.
What is included in the price?
Your written quote from the owner is the installed price: design with the owners, measuring, building and finishing in our Lake Forest factory, and installation by our own finish carpenters, with a lifetime warranty.
Are factory-direct shutters lower quality?
No. Factory-direct means the same shutters, without the markup. Ours are milled and given a furniture-grade finish in our own Lake Forest factory, carry a lifetime warranty, and you can watch them being built before you buy.
Is installation included in the price?
Yes. Every order is measured and installed by our own finish carpenters, never subcontracted, across Southern California.
Is there a minimum order for wholesale pricing?
No. Whole homes and large projects get the most value, but there is no minimum order.
Do you charge more to install outside Orange County?
Not necessarily. We price the whole project, and our own crew installs every order in Orange, Riverside, San Bernardino, Los Angeles and San Diego counties.
Do you sell shutters wholesale to contractors?
Yes. Contractors and remodelers get trade pricing, site measuring and installation by our own crew. Most orders are built and installed in 3 to 5 weeks.
Do interior designers get trade pricing?
Yes. Interior designers get trade pricing, color matching to any Sherwin-Williams or Benjamin Moore color or custom stain, and a direct line to the factory owners.
Where can I buy wholesale shutters in Southern California?
Direct from our factory at 20561 Pascal Way in Lake Forest, Orange County. We serve Orange, Riverside, San Bernardino, Los Angeles and San Diego counties, and our own crew installs every order.
