For hundreds of years, exterior shutters have offered homes protection from extreme weather and noise. Decorative shutters have increased in popularity, adding to a home’s curbside appeal and its market value. At LAS, we believe you should not have to sacrifice shutter style for function. Utilizing the finest materials and techniques in our manufacturing process, our HomeGard Shutters provide a look of distinction, a durable finish and superior storm protection.

HomeGard Shutters are sealed with a promise of quality and longevity by utilizing a unique process of powder coating. The powder coating material is applied to the aluminum shutter through an electrostatic process which fuses the powder to the aluminum. It is a 3 step powder coat process (pre-treatment, powder coating, and curing) that ensures you will have an aesthetically pleasing and consistent finish for years to come.
When it comes to shutters, LAS HomeGard Shutters, give you the protection you need with the quality you expect and the color you want. Not only do we offer you as variety of color options, we will even custom match a color for you.
For over a decade, LAS has supplied the home improvement needs of the Gulf Coast region with products designed and assembled in our Louisiana production facility, installed by LAS employees and fully warranted.

Chief Executive OfficerView all posts
Richard Maia is the Chief Executive Officer of LAS, one of the Gulf South's leading window and shutter manufacturers. A structural engineering graduate of Louisiana State University and a lifelong South Louisiana native, Richard grew up around LAS and spent summers working the floor before eventually leading the company. His engineering background shapes everything about how LAS operates: products are designed from first principles, not convention, and engineered specifically for the heat, humidity, and storm demands of the regional climate.
Under his leadership, LAS has pursued deep vertical integration by investing in in-house manufacturing capabilities to maintain tighter control over quality, sourcing, and timelines. A graduate of Jesuit High School in New Orleans, Richard brings both technical rigor and genuine local roots to a company he has built around one straightforward belief: that a lifetime warranty only means something if the company is still around to honor it.
