Shutters can make a dramatic change to your house's appearance, providing the finished look you might not have realized you were missing.  You can use decorative trim to call attention to a feature or to add a look of depth to the facade.  For some houses, decorative siding that accentuates the building's design (such as Victorian) can make all the difference.  Any way you look at it, shutters and trim are one of the best ways to add curb appeal to your home.  Midlantic Shutter and Millwork began as a custom shutter manufacturer and now works with the Tapco Group's Mid-America exterior building components company to provide Mid-America shutters in three styles, with standard and custom sizes, and 22 colors.  Other building components available from Midlantic Shutter and Millwork include vents, window headers, dentil trim and other exterior decorative items.  Midlantic also offers products from the Tapco Group's Atlantic Premium Shutters and Foundry Specialty Siding.  Chapman Windows Doors & Siding works closely with Midlantic Shutter and Millwork to bring these products to your home. 

Mid-America shutters are constructed of paintable polystyrene or a polypropylene co-polymer vinyl for a sturdy and maintenance-free shutter.  The pleasing color palette includes whites, grays, blacks, browns to taupe tones, reds, blues and greens.  Arch or transom tops, decorative hinges and S-hooks are potential accessories.  Shutter locks are included.

We can source:

• The Mid-America Shutter in Raised Panel in two sizes.  This shutter features two symmetrical raised panels, or Cottage style with the bottom panel larger than the top.  You can also custom-order a shutter to vary the size and numbers of panels.
• The Cathedral Open Louver shutter in standard sizes with a center a mullion divide, or a custom shutter with width and mullion placement options.  A straight top or louver and panel combination is also possible.
• Board and Batten shutters (the boards can be joined or spaced).  Custom options enable you to vary the widths and number of boards.
• Gable vents with a snap-on trim ring in shapes of rectangle, square, round, half round, oval, and  octagon.
• Designer Series round gable vents which have a wider trim ring and are available with keystone shapes on the face.
• Specialty vents in a triangle shape of various sizes.
• Mounting blocks and utility vents for vinyl, fiber cement or insulated siding.  These vents are available in various sizes.  Hooded vents have built-in water channels.  Wire screens and animal guards are excellent add-ons.  For vinyl and insulated siding, patented Master® exhaust flaps that stay closed when not in use are offered.
• Exterior accent products such as window headers of single-piece construction which can be mounted on any common exterior surface.  Optional keystone shapes add detail.
• Door surrounds and dentil trim in square or scallop tooth in colors that match the door surround, or as a paintable surface are also available.
• Roofing accessories include the RidgeMaster® and HipMaster® ridge vents with a patented baffle system and the CapMaster® pipe vent caps in subtle colors that tone with most roofing material.
