You know the frustration. Blinds that don’t quite fit the window. Slats that won’t stay level. Light gaps that defeat the whole purpose.
Professional blinds installation means precise measurements, proper mounting, and blinds that actually do what they’re supposed to do. Your windows look clean and finished. Light control works the way it should. And you’re not dealing with constant adjustments or that nagging feeling that something’s just… off.
When blinds are installed correctly, they become part of your home’s comfort system—managing Texas heat, providing privacy when you need it, and enhancing your space instead of fighting against it.
A Plus Shutters & Shades has spent over a decade perfecting window treatment installation across the Dallas-Fort Worth area. We understand how Texas heat affects different window orientations and what materials hold up best in our climate.
Our team has handled everything from standard residential windows to challenging custom installations in Cross Creek homes. We’ve seen what works and what doesn’t when it comes to blinds that need to perform year after year in Texas conditions.
From our Arlington showroom, we serve Cross Creek and surrounding communities with the same attention to detail and local expertise that’s made us a trusted name throughout the region.
First, we come to your Cross Creek home for precise measurements. Not estimates—actual measurements that account for window depth, mounting surfaces, and any obstacles. This eliminates the guesswork that leads to ill-fitting blinds.
Next, we help you select blinds that match your needs and budget. We’ll discuss light control, privacy requirements, and how different materials perform in Texas heat. No pressure, just straightforward guidance based on what actually works.
Once your custom blinds arrive, we schedule installation at your convenience. Our team handles mounting, adjustments, and testing to ensure smooth operation. We clean up completely and show you how to get the most from your new blinds.
The whole process typically takes 2-3 weeks from measurement to installation, and we keep you updated throughout.

Every blinds installation includes professional measuring, custom fitting, and quality mounting hardware designed for long-term performance. We use Texas-made materials when possible and products specifically chosen for our climate conditions.
Your installation covers mounting, leveling, and operational testing. We make sure every blind operates smoothly and provides the light control and privacy you expect. Any necessary adjustments are handled on-site.
Cross Creek homes often have unique architectural features, and we’re equipped to handle specialty installations including angled windows, deep-set frames, and challenging mounting situations. Our decade of construction experience means we can solve installation problems that stop other contractors.
We also provide care instructions and warranty information so you know exactly how to maintain your blinds and what’s covered if any issues arise.
Most blinds installations in Cross Creek homes take 2-4 hours depending on the number of windows and complexity. Simple installations with standard mounting can be completed in about 30 minutes per window.
More complex situations—like inside-mount installations, angled windows, or windows with trim work—may take longer. We always provide realistic time estimates during our initial consultation so you can plan accordingly.
Our team works efficiently while maintaining attention to detail. We’d rather take the time to do it right than rush through and leave you with problems later.
For Cross Creek’s hot summers and temperature swings, we typically recommend faux wood or aluminum blinds over real wood. Faux wood offers the appearance of wood without warping or fading issues in high heat and humidity.
Aluminum blinds are excellent for high-moisture areas like bathrooms or kitchens. They’re also ideal if you need maximum light control since the slats stay straight and don’t sag over time.
For energy efficiency, we often suggest blinds with light-colored or reflective surfaces that help deflect heat. The specific choice depends on your window orientation, room use, and personal preferences, which we discuss during your consultation.
We handle all measuring as part of our service. DIY measuring is one of the biggest sources of blinds installation problems, so we prefer to do it ourselves to ensure accuracy.
Our measuring process accounts for window depth, mounting surface conditions, and any obstacles like window cranks or trim work. We also check for square and level issues that can affect how blinds hang and operate.
This professional measuring is included in your installation service and eliminates the most common cause of ill-fitting blinds. It also means we can catch potential installation challenges early and plan solutions before installation day.
Custom sizing is standard for us. Cross Creek homes often have architectural features that require non-standard blind sizes, and we handle these regularly through our custom manufacturing partnerships.
We can accommodate angled windows, extra-wide spans, very tall windows, and unusual depth requirements. Our decade of construction experience means we’ve seen most installation challenges and have solutions ready.
For particularly complex situations, we may recommend alternative mounting methods or suggest different blind styles that work better with your specific windows. The goal is always functional, attractive blinds that operate properly for years to come.
Yes, we provide a one-year installation warranty that covers mounting hardware, operational issues, and any problems related to our workmanship. This is separate from the manufacturer’s warranty on the blinds themselves.
If blinds become loose, don’t operate smoothly, or develop problems related to installation, we’ll return to fix them at no charge. This warranty reflects our confidence in our installation quality and our commitment to customer satisfaction.
We also provide ongoing support for minor adjustments or questions about operation and care. Most installation issues, if they occur, show up within the first few months, and our warranty ensures you’re covered.
Installation costs depend on the number of windows, blind type, and installation complexity. Basic installations typically range from $75-150 per window, while complex custom installations may cost more.
We provide detailed estimates during your consultation that break down both product and installation costs. There are no hidden fees or surprise charges—you’ll know exactly what to expect before we begin work.
Many homeowners find that professional installation actually saves money by eliminating measurement errors, damaged blinds from improper mounting, and the time and frustration of DIY attempts. The investment in proper installation pays off in blinds that work correctly from day one.
