Would a house look better without shutters or with shutters where one is broken in half? Broken shutter is on front of house.

The neighbors where my son's house is offered to buy him new shutters and even put them up "for free" because the house looks soo bad . They have their house up for sale and I guess it isn't selling.......

The outside of the house does look pretty bad.. But plans are in to replace the siding and shutters this spring......

I suggested, that it might look better without shutters than to have broken ones, esp when the broken one is broken in half and in the front of the house....

Son's dad said no... it is too cold now to take them down. shrugs shoulders....

Soooo would a house look better without shutters or with broken ones...
