About Goode Shutters

Welcome to Goode Shutters. We are glad you are here. Goode Shutters the leading shutter manufacturer in the DFW metroplex. We are devoted to ensuring that your custom shutters are everything you dreamed of and more. We design, manufacture, paint, and install all of our own product with wood that is sourced in the United States.

Goode Shutters originated in 2010 and was founded by Derek Goode. After working as an apprentice for another shutter manufacturer from the age of 16, Derek was able to learn all the skills in the trade and became the leader for the previous company. Derek started as a finish sander at the age of 16 and worked his way up in the company. He learned each and every step in the manufacturing process for plantation shutters. After many years working under the other company, it was time to start his own company.

Derek originally started in a small shop in Sanger, TX. Him and his wife were the only two people originally building shutters. Derek was a great marketer from the early going, and quickly needed to hire employees. The rapid growth caused Goode Shutters to quickly move into a 10,000 sq foot facility in Valley View, TX. They would continue working at this factory until the year 2015 when they decided it was time to build their own factory rather than lease property.

In 2015, Goode Shutters purchased land in the town of Krum, TX. They built a new factory and continued exponential growth. This factory was some what remote and was difficult for clients to visit the facility. Goode Shutters is continually looking for improvement and moved into a brand new facility in 2020 in Decatur, TX along major Highway 380. This is where Goode Shutters is currently located.
