Why Brookside Homeowners Choose Plantation Shutters Brookside's historic character homes—many built in the early 1900s—benefit tremendously from plantation shutters' classic appeal and durability. These homes often feature tall windows and unique architectural details that shutters enhance rather than obscure. Kansas City's humid summers and variable seasons make plantation shutters' superior insulation valuable, helping regulate interior temperatures year-round. Brookside's strong community pride means homeowners invest in quality upgrades that preserve neighborhood charm. Shutters work beautifully in formal living rooms, bedrooms, dining areas, and library spaces popular in traditional Brookside homes. They're also practical for the walkable neighborhood's street-facing windows, providing privacy while maintaining the curb appeal that defines Meyer Boulevard's aesthetic. After 20+ years serving Kansas City, we've installed hundreds of shutters in Brookside's most valued homes.
