Wood Shutters
I have several wooden shutters that need to be stripped. Any suggestions on the least laborious, cost effective method?

I had mine done by joe salem. He only does hand stripping, which is the better way of doing it. Cost will vary depending on if they're painted or stained. His # is 718-755-6527.

Least laborious and cost effective method would most likely involve dipping, but dipping is harder on the shutters, dries them out and most likely will cause minor damage to the more delicate louvers and tilt rods.

We had our shutters on all our floors done by East End Woodstrippers and they have just done a superb job.
They do not dip but use a different technique (I am forgetting what exactly) which does not screw up the wood. My architect was very concerned anything but hand stripping would possibly ruin the shutters but i think he (and I) have been really impressed.
Between the work Dean (East End Woodstrippers) and my contractor put into the shutters, they are just absolutely fabulous now. Really tops. Dean also stripped some of our other wood pieces and again everything came up just wonderful. With some extra TLC from our contractors, the end result on everything so far has been great.
