History

We started as a small family business in Frankfurt (Oder), Germany. Frank and his dad, Eberhard, founded Petrick, Inc. in 1989, specializing in selling and installing Security Shutters, Awnings, Vinyl Windows, and sunrooms. In 1994, the business continued to grow, and the company moved to a bigger facility allowing them to become a retailer for Vinyl Windows, and later become a producer and manufacturer as well.

Frank took this time to complete Business and Engineering School and attained his Master Craftsman Diploma in 2002. This would open many doors for the company as he became certified to deliver and produce high quality work and products all around Germany.

In 2004, Frank decided to move his family and business to the United States and that’s when Shutter Specialists, LLC was founded. Frank and his son, Tobias, made a name for themselves servicing SWFL and quickly became a very well-known family-operated Shutter Company. Today, the company is run by Frank and his wife, Tabea with the help of their two sons Ben and Josh along with Ben’s wife, Jessica.

At Shutter Specialists Inc. we are known for our commitment to providing quality service and products to each of our customers. We hope to grow even more and continue to provide exceptional service throughout Southwest Florida.
