The Inspection
For this Springfield, VA project, we updated the home’s appearance while preserving the brick exterior. We removed 10 old shutters and inspected the brick and mortar to ensure a secure installation, sealing unused holes to prevent moisture intrusion.
The Process
The installation featured premium PlyGem Mastic vinyl shutters in a classic black louvered style. Installing shutters on brick requires specialized technique; we carefully measured and drilled new pilot holes to align perfectly with the shutters' mounting points. We used high-durability Easy-Loks #002 spikes to ensure the shutters remain flush and secure against the siding. To maintain a clean and professional look, we utilized mortar filler to repair the brick surface where previous hardware had been removed, ensuring a seamless and weather-tight finish across all five pairs of shutters.
The Result
The transformation in Springfield, VA, proves that small details make a significant impact. The new black louvered shutters provide a sharp, modern contrast against the traditional red brick siding, instantly elevating the home’s curb appeal. Thanks to the use of high-quality PlyGem Mastic materials and expert masonry handling, the homeowners now have a low-maintenance exterior upgrade that will look great for years.
