Welcome to another edition of our Local Business Spotlight series! Today, Doug Stiefel from PJMac HVAC's Langhorne location sits down with Jaime Camarillo, owner of Bucks County Shutters, to discuss how both businesses serve the Langhorne community and surrounding areas.
Doug Stiefel: Thanks for joining me today, Jaime! I'm Doug Stiefel from PJMac HVAC here in Langhorne, and I'm excited to learn more about Bucks County Shutters. Can you tell our Langhorne neighbors a bit about your business and what you do?
Jaime Camarillo: Thanks for having me, Doug! Bucks County Shutters has been designing, manufacturing, and installing custom wood interior plantation shutters right here in Bucks County for over 30 years. What makes us unique is that we do everything locally – we manufacture our shutters right in Warminster, Pennsylvania, not far from Langhorne. We're proud to say our shutters are truly "Made in the USA."
Doug: That's fantastic! As a local business owner myself, I really appreciate companies that keep things local. How do you specifically serve the Langhorne area?
Jaime: Langhorne is right in our sweet spot! We serve all of Bucks County, including Langhorne, Newtown, Richboro, and the surrounding communities. Many of our Langhorne customers love that we're just a short drive away in Warminster, so we can provide quick consultations, measurements, and installations. We've done beautiful custom shutters for homes throughout the Langhorne area, from historic properties to newer developments.
Doug: I can see how custom shutters would really enhance a home's value and appeal. At PJMac, we focus on what's inside the home – air quality, HVAC systems, and dryer vent safety. What drew you to focus on interior shutters specifically?
Jaime: Interior plantation shutters are incredible because they serve multiple purposes – they control light, provide privacy, improve insulation, and add serious aesthetic appeal to any room. Unlike the mass-produced shutters you might find at big box stores, ours are solid hardwood, custom-measured, and built to last generations. We even do custom color matching and staining to perfectly complement our clients' existing décor.
Doug: That attention to detail really shows. In my business, I see a lot of homes in Langhorne, and I know homeowners here really care about quality and craftsmanship. What types of projects do you typically work on in the Langhorne area?
Jaime: We do everything from single window treatments to whole-home shutter installations. In Langhorne, we've worked on beautiful bay windows, arched windows, French doors, and even sliding glass doors. We can handle unique shapes too – circles, ovals, half circles, hexagons – whatever the home requires. Every project gets a free design consultation where we work closely with the homeowner to bring their vision to life.
Doug: I love that collaborative approach! In my line of work with air duct cleaning and HVAC services in Langhorne, I find that homeowners really appreciate when contractors take the time to understand their specific needs. Speaking of home improvement, do you find that your shutters complement other home upgrades?
Jaime: Absolutely! Shutters are often part of a larger home improvement plan. We work with many homeowners who are updating their HVAC systems, renovating rooms, or improving their home's energy efficiency. Our shutters actually provide additional insulation, which can help reduce energy costs – something that pairs perfectly with an efficient HVAC system.
Doug: That's a great point about energy efficiency! At PJMac, we're always telling our Langhorne customers about ways to improve their home's energy performance. Clean air ducts, properly maintained HVAC systems, and good insulation all work together. What's your typical timeline for a shutter project in the Langhorne area?
Jaime: Since we manufacture everything locally, we can typically complete most residential projects within 2-4 weeks from initial measurement to installation. For Langhorne customers, I personally handle the consultation and measurement, then our skilled craftsmen build the shutters in our Warminster facility using state-of-the-art machinery. Installation usually takes just a day or two, depending on the scope of the project.
Doug: That's impressive turnaround time! How do you ensure quality throughout that process?
Jaime: Quality control is everything to us. We use only solid hardwood – no veneers or particle board like you might find elsewhere. Every shutter is custom-built for its specific window or door, and I personally oversee each installation to ensure it meets our standards. We've built our reputation over 30 years by delivering exceptional craftsmanship that our customers can enjoy for decades.
Doug: I can really relate to that commitment to quality. At PJMac, we use state-of-the-art equipment for our air duct cleaning and HVAC services in Langhorne because we know our customers deserve the best. What advice would you give to Langhorne homeowners considering custom shutters?
Jaime: Don't settle for mass-produced options when you can get custom shutters made right here in Bucks County! The difference in quality, fit, and finish is remarkable. Plus, working with a local manufacturer means you get personalized service throughout the entire process. I encourage homeowners to schedule a free consultation – we'll discuss their needs, show samples, and provide design ideas that work with their home's unique style.
Doug: That's excellent advice. Before we wrap up, how can Langhorne residents reach out to learn more about your services?
