You get doors that slide smoothly, fit your openings exactly, and actually save space in your home. No more wrestling with doors that stick or gaps that let sound through.
Our barn doors work in tight spaces where swinging doors won’t. Bathrooms, closets, home offices—anywhere you need privacy without losing square footage. You can divide rooms when you need them separated, or open everything up for that modern, flowing feel.
The installation is done right the first time. Proper measurements, quality hardware, and doors that operate exactly how they’re supposed to. No callbacks, no adjustments, no headaches.
A Plus Shutters & Shades brings over a decade of construction experience to every barn door installation in Cross Creek. We’re part of A Plus Home Remodel, so we understand how doors fit into the bigger picture of your home.
We’re based right here in the DFW area, which means we know Texas homes. We understand the climate, the building styles, and what works in spaces like yours. Our team has installed hundreds of barn doors across Tarrant County, from modern geometric designs to classic wood styles.
You’re working with people who’ve been doing this long enough to spot problems before they happen and know exactly how to solve them when they do.
We start with accurate measurements of your space and discuss what you’re trying to accomplish. Not just the opening size, but how the door will be used, what style fits your home, and any specific requirements you have.
Next, we help you choose from our selection of styles and finishes. We have 9 distinct styles and 35 finish options, so there’s something that works with your existing décor. Whether you want modern geometric patterns, classic wood grain, or sleek black stains, we’ll find the right match.
Installation happens when your custom door is ready. Our team handles the hardware mounting, track installation, and door hanging. We test everything to make sure it slides properly and make any final adjustments. The job isn’t done until the door operates exactly the way it should.

Every barn door installation includes professional measurement, custom door construction, quality hardware, and complete installation. We use Texas-made materials when possible and factory-finished doors that are built to last.
Cross Creek homes often have unique architectural details, and we account for that in our installations. Whether you’re working with older construction, modern builds, or something in between, we adapt our approach to fit your specific situation.
The hardware we use is designed for daily operation. Smooth-rolling tracks, properly rated hangers, and mounting systems that can handle the door weight over time. You’re not getting bargain-bin components that will cause problems later.
Our doors work for interior applications—bedrooms, bathrooms, closets, home offices, or anywhere you need a space-saving door solution. Each installation is customized to your specific opening and usage requirements.
You typically need at least 8 inches of clear wall space above your opening for the track mounting. The exact requirement depends on your door height and the hardware system we’re using.
We measure everything during our consultation, including ceiling height, trim work, and any obstacles that might affect the installation. If you have low ceilings or unusual trim details, we have solutions that can work around those constraints.
The track needs to be mounted to solid framing, so we also check what’s available in your wall structure. Most installations work fine with standard construction, but we identify any potential issues upfront so there are no surprises during installation.
Our doors are custom-built to your exact opening size and specifications. DIY kits are mass-produced in standard sizes that rarely fit perfectly, which leads to gaps, operational problems, and a less professional appearance.
We also handle the entire installation process. Mounting the track level and secure, ensuring proper door alignment, and adjusting everything so it operates smoothly takes experience and the right tools. Most DIY installations end up with doors that don’t slide properly or hardware that fails over time.
The materials are different too. We use quality wood, professional-grade hardware, and factory finishes that are designed to last. DIY kits often use cheaper materials that look good initially but don’t hold up to regular use.
Yes, but it depends on the installation and door design. We can install doors with minimal gaps and add soft-close systems that eliminate slamming. For maximum privacy, we use solid wood doors and precision installation techniques that minimize light and sound transfer.
The track system is mounted with heavy-duty hardware that prevents the door from moving once it’s closed. We also install door guides at the bottom that keep the door aligned and reduce any movement or rattling.
If privacy is a primary concern, we discuss your specific needs during the consultation and recommend the door style and installation approach that will work best for your situation. Some locations work better for barn doors than others, and we’re honest about what will and won’t meet your expectations.
Maintenance is minimal with properly installed barn doors. The track should be kept clean and free of debris—a quick wipe-down every few months is usually sufficient. The rollers are designed for long-term operation and don’t require regular lubrication.
For the door itself, treat it like any other wood surface in your home. Dust it regularly and clean with appropriate wood cleaners if needed. Our factory finishes are durable and don’t require frequent refinishing like some DIY options.
Check the hardware periodically to make sure everything stays tight. The mounting bolts can occasionally work loose over time, especially in the first few months as everything settles. We provide guidelines on what to look for and when to call us if you notice any changes in operation.
Modern Cross Creek homes often work well with clean-lined designs rather than heavily rustic styles. Geometric patterns like double hexagon or double diamond are popular right now, as are doors with sleek horizontal rails that complement contemporary interiors.
Black stain finishes are trending because they create a bold statement while still showing wood grain texture. These work particularly well with modern farmhouse, industrial, and Scandinavian design themes that are common in newer construction.
We look at your existing interior design, color palette, and architectural details to recommend styles that will complement rather than compete with your home’s aesthetic. The goal is a door that feels like it belongs in your space, not something that looks like an add-on.
The entire process typically takes 2-3 weeks from initial consultation to completed installation. This includes time for measuring, custom door construction, and scheduling the installation appointment.
The actual installation usually takes 3-4 hours for a single door, depending on the complexity of your opening and any modifications needed. We work efficiently but don’t rush the process—proper installation is more important than speed.
Custom doors take longer than standard sizes, but the result is a door that fits your opening perfectly. We keep you updated throughout the process and coordinate the installation timing to minimize disruption to your schedule. Most installations can be completed while you’re at work, so you come home to a finished project.
