Hear from Our Customers
You know the feeling when your blinds actually fit right the first time. No gaps letting in that brutal Texas sun. No crooked slats that make your whole room look off. No struggling with measurements that seemed right but somehow weren’t.
That’s what happens when you skip the DIY headache and work with installers who’ve been doing this for over a decade. Your blinds block the heat when you need them to. They open smoothly when you want that natural light. And they look like they were always meant to be there.
The difference shows up on your energy bill too. Properly installed blinds can cut your cooling costs during those six-month Austin summers where it hits 90+ degrees almost daily.
We bring ten years of construction experience to every North Shoal Creek installation. As part of the A Plus Home Remodel family, we understand how homes work from the ground up.
We’ve seen what happens when window treatments aren’t installed right. Brackets that pull out of the wall. Blinds that warp in Texas heat because the wrong materials were chosen. Measurements that looked good on paper but created gaps you could drive a truck through.
That’s why we focus on getting it right the first time. Texas-made products that can handle our climate. Precision installation that accounts for how your specific windows actually behave. And the kind of local service that keeps your neighbors calling us back.
First, we come to you. No dragging samples to a showroom or trying to imagine how something will look. We measure your actual windows, show you materials on the spot, and walk through options that make sense for your space and budget.
Then we handle the details you don’t want to think about. Ordering the right materials. Scheduling around your life. Making sure everything arrives when it’s supposed to.
Installation day is straightforward. Our crew shows up with the right tools, installs your blinds with precision, and tests everything before we leave. No mystery charges. No “we’ll come back next week to fix that.” Just blinds that work exactly like they should.
We even haul away your old window treatments if you need us to. Because the last thing you want after getting beautiful new blinds is a pile of old hardware cluttering up your garage.

Every installation includes precise measurement, professional-grade mounting hardware, and testing to make sure everything operates smoothly. We work with wood, faux wood, vinyl, and fabric blinds depending on what works best for each room.
North Shoal Creek homes deal with specific challenges. That intense afternoon sun that turns west-facing rooms into ovens. Humidity that can warp cheaper materials. Windows that aren’t quite standard sizes because of how older Austin homes were built.
We account for all of it. Energy-efficient options that actually cut your cooling costs. Materials that won’t warp or fade in Texas heat. Custom sizing when your windows don’t fit standard measurements. And installation techniques that keep everything secure even when our famous Austin winds kick up.
The result is blinds that look great, function perfectly, and hold up to whatever Texas weather throws at them. Plus you get our warranty backing up the work, because we stand behind what we install.
Installation typically runs $20-$170 per square foot including materials and labor, with most North Shoal Creek projects totaling between $436-$1,769. The final cost depends on your window sizes, blind materials, and any custom features you choose.
Small windows might cost as little as $40 to outfit, while large bay windows can run $165-$550. Custom blinds add about $100 per window but give you perfect fit and better energy efficiency. We provide upfront pricing during your consultation so there are no surprises.
Labor makes up 40-60% of your total cost, but professional installation ensures your blinds block maximum light and heat, which saves money on cooling costs long-term.
Faux wood and vinyl blinds perform exceptionally well in Austin’s heat and humidity. They won’t warp like real wood can, and they’re easy to clean when dust builds up during our dry spells.
For energy efficiency, cellular shades are excellent for reducing solar heat gain during those brutal summer months when temperatures hit 90+ degrees for six months straight. They can significantly cut your cooling costs and reduce strain on your AC system.
Wood blinds look beautiful but work best in climate-controlled rooms away from direct moisture. We’ll recommend the right material for each specific window based on sun exposure, humidity levels, and your style preferences.
The consultation and measurement visit typically takes 45-60 minutes. Once you approve the order, custom blinds usually take 2-3 weeks to manufacture, though standard sizes can often be ready sooner.
Installation day depends on how many windows we’re covering. Most residential jobs take 2-4 hours from start to finish. We work efficiently but never rush the details that ensure proper fit and smooth operation.
We schedule installation at your convenience and always test every blind before we leave. If you need old window treatments removed, we can handle that too for a small additional fee.
Yes, we warranty our installation work because we stand behind the quality of what we do. This covers proper mounting, smooth operation, and any installation-related issues that might arise.
The blinds themselves come with manufacturer warranties that vary by brand and material type. We work with quality suppliers who back their products, and we’ll help you navigate any warranty issues if they come up.
Our goal is blinds that work perfectly for years to come. If something isn’t right, we’ll make it right. That’s part of the local service approach that’s kept North Shoal Creek customers calling us back for over a decade.
Absolutely. Many North Shoal Creek homes have unique architectural features, odd-sized windows, or non-standard openings that require custom solutions. That’s actually one of our specialties.
We measure each window individually and can create blinds for arches, angles, bay windows, or any other challenging shapes. Our construction background helps us solve installation problems that might stump other companies.
Custom sizing does add to the cost and timeline, but it’s often the only way to get proper coverage and smooth operation. We’ll walk through your options during the consultation and explain what’s involved.
Professional installation ensures your blinds actually block maximum light and heat, which is crucial during Austin’s intense summers. Poor installation can leave gaps that let in sun and hot air, defeating the whole purpose of having blinds.
We also have the right tools and experience to handle different wall types, find studs properly, and deal with obstacles like electrical outlets or unusual window frames. DIY installation often leads to crooked blinds, damaged walls, or hardware that pulls out over time.
Plus, we handle all the measuring, ordering, and scheduling details. You get blinds that look perfect and work smoothly without the hassle of figuring out mounting hardware or dealing with returns if something doesn’t fit right.
