Hear from Our Customers
You get blinds that open and close smoothly every single time. No more fighting with crooked slats or cords that break after six months.
Your University Hills home stays cooler in summer and warmer in winter. Energy-efficient blinds cut your utility bills while giving you the exact light control you want throughout the day.
Most importantly, you get installation done right. Precise measurements, level mounting, and blinds that complement your home’s character instead of looking like an afterthought.
A Plus Shutters & Shades brings over a decade of construction expertise to every University Hills installation. We understand how Texas heat affects window treatments and how vintage home architecture requires custom solutions.
We’re part of the established A Plus Home Remodel family, serving Arlington, Dallas, Fort Worth, and surrounding DFW areas. That means we’re not going anywhere, and we stand behind every installation with real warranty protection.
University Hills homeowners choose us because we get the details right. Your 1950s ranch house has different needs than a new build, and we tailor our approach accordingly.
We start with accurate measurements at your University Hills home. No guessing, no “close enough” – we measure twice and get it right the first time.
Next comes product selection. We bring samples to your home so you can see how different materials and colors look in your actual lighting. You’ll know exactly what you’re getting before we order anything.
Installation day is straightforward. Our team arrives on time, protects your floors and furniture, and installs your blinds with construction-grade precision. We test everything before we leave and clean up completely.

Every University Hills installation includes professional measurement, custom fitting, and complete installation. We handle the entire process so you don’t have to worry about compatibility issues or mounting problems.
You get blinds designed for Texas weather. Our materials withstand high humidity and intense sun without warping, fading, or failing. That’s crucial in University Hills where your west-facing windows get hammered by afternoon heat.
We also provide solutions for those unique window configurations common in vintage homes. Arch windows, bay windows, or unusual sizes – we create custom solutions that work with your home’s original character instead of fighting against it.
Most University Hills blind installations take 2-4 hours depending on the number of windows and complexity. We complete the entire job in a single visit for standard installations.
For larger projects or custom solutions, we might need additional time, but we’ll give you an accurate timeline during our initial consultation. We protect your schedule by showing up on time and finishing when promised.
The key difference with professional installation is that everything works correctly when we’re done. No adjustments needed, no return trips to fix problems.
Faux wood blinds perform exceptionally well in University Hills because they handle Texas humidity without warping like real wood can. They also provide excellent insulation for those single-pane windows common in vintage homes.
For homes with original window trim, we often recommend inside-mount installations that preserve the architectural details. Custom-cut blinds fit perfectly within the window frame without covering beautiful woodwork.
Aluminum blinds work great for high-moisture areas like bathrooms and kitchens, especially in older homes where ventilation might not be ideal. They’re virtually maintenance-free and handle temperature fluctuations well.
Most University Hills homes built before 1970 have non-standard window sizes that require custom measurements. Standard store-bought blinds rarely fit properly in these vintage openings.
We measure each window individually because even windows that look identical often vary by half an inch or more. This precision prevents gaps, ensures smooth operation, and gives you that clean, professional appearance.
During our consultation, we’ll assess whether your windows can accommodate standard sizes or need custom solutions. Either way, we provide accurate measurements and proper installation.
Our University Hills installation service includes everything: accurate in-home measurement, product consultation, custom ordering, delivery, complete installation, and testing of all mechanisms.
We also include mounting hardware designed for your specific wall type, whether that’s original plaster, drywall, or brick. Different mounting situations require different approaches, and we come prepared.
After installation, we demonstrate operation, provide care instructions, and back everything with warranty coverage. If something isn’t working right, we return to fix it at no additional charge.
Installation costs vary based on window size, blind type, and mounting complexity. Most University Hills homeowners invest between $150-600 per window for quality blinds with professional installation.
Custom solutions for unusual window shapes or sizes may cost more, but we provide detailed pricing during our free consultation. No surprises, no hidden fees.
The investment pays for itself through proper fit, smooth operation, and energy savings. Plus, you avoid the headache and potential damage that comes with DIY installation mistakes.
Yes, we serve University Hills and the entire DFW area including Arlington, Fort Worth, Dallas, Southlake, Mansfield, Cedar Hill, and Grand Prairie. Our service area covers most of Tarrant County and surrounding communities.
Each area has unique characteristics – University Hills’ vintage homes, Southlake’s luxury properties, Arlington’s diverse housing stock – and we tailor our approach accordingly.
If you’re unsure whether we service your specific location, give us a call. We’re often willing to travel for the right project, especially if you’re working with neighbors on multiple installations.
