Your home gets more usable space without sacrificing style. Where traditional doors eat up floor space and interrupt flow, sliding barn doors glide along walls, opening up rooms and creating seamless transitions between spaces.
You’ll love how these doors solve the tight hallway problem, the cramped bathroom dilemma, and the awkward closet situation. They work as room dividers when you need privacy and slide away when you want that open-concept feel.
The result? A home that feels bigger, flows better, and catches every guest’s attention. Plus, you’re investing in a feature that adds real value to your property.
A Plus Shutters & Shades brings over a decade of construction experience to Ford Oaks and the greater DFW area. We’re not just another door company – we’re local craftsmen who understand Texas homes and what works here.

When you work with us, you’re getting the kind of personal service that’s becoming rare these days. We show up on time, do the work right, and make sure you’re completely satisfied before we consider the job done.
We start with a free consultation at your Ford Oaks home. Our expert measures your space, shows you style options, and helps you choose the perfect barn door for your needs and budget. No pressure, just honest advice about what will work best.
Once you decide, we custom-craft your door using quality materials and precise measurements. This isn’t a one-size-fits-all situation – every door is built specifically for your opening and your style preferences.
Installation day is straightforward. Our experienced team handles all the mounting, hardware installation, and adjustments to ensure smooth operation. We clean up after ourselves and walk you through how everything works before we leave.

Every barn door project includes professional measurement, custom manufacturing, and expert installation. You choose from 9 distinct styles and 35 finishes to match your existing décor or create something completely new.
We handle the structural considerations that many homeowners don’t think about – proper wall support, precise track mounting, and smooth hardware operation. Our installation includes all necessary hardware, professional mounting, and adjustments to ensure years of trouble-free use.
Ford Oaks homes often feature unique architectural details, and we work with those elements rather than against them. Whether you’re updating a traditional home or adding character to a newer build, we make sure your barn door looks like it belongs there.
Most barn door hardware is rated for doors up to 220 pounds, but the real question is whether your wall can handle the mounting requirements. We evaluate your wall structure during our consultation to determine the best mounting approach.
For drywall installations, we use heavy-duty anchors or mount to studs. In many cases, we install a wooden header above the opening for additional support. This distributes the weight properly and ensures your door operates smoothly for years.
We never use standard drywall anchors for barn door installations. The constant sliding motion and weight require proper structural mounting, and we make sure it’s done right the first time.
Store-bought barn doors are mass-produced to fit standard openings and often require significant modifications to work in real homes. Our doors are custom-made to your exact measurements and style preferences.
The hardware quality makes a huge difference too. We use professional-grade tracks and rollers designed for smooth, quiet operation. Cheap hardware binds, squeaks, and wears out quickly, while quality components operate smoothly for decades.
Installation matters just as much as the door itself. We handle the structural requirements, ensure proper alignment, and make all necessary adjustments. A beautiful door that doesn’t work properly isn’t worth much.
From consultation to completed installation typically takes 3-4 weeks. The consultation and measuring happen on your schedule, usually within a few days of your call.
Custom manufacturing takes 2-3 weeks depending on your style choices and our current schedule. We don’t rush this part because precision matters for proper fit and operation.
Installation day usually takes 3-4 hours for a single door, including mounting the track, hanging the door, and making all adjustments. More complex installations or multiple doors may take longer, but we’ll give you a clear timeline upfront.
Yes, but it depends on the installation and your specific needs. Barn doors can provide excellent privacy when properly installed with the right hardware and door style.
For maximum privacy, we recommend doors that overlap the opening by several inches on each side. This eliminates gaps that might allow light or sound through. We also offer hardware options that include soft-close features and locking mechanisms.
Keep in mind that barn doors slide along the wall rather than sealing into a frame like traditional doors. For bathrooms or bedrooms where complete privacy is essential, we discuss these requirements during consultation and recommend appropriate solutions.
Ford Oaks homes range from traditional to contemporary, and barn doors work well with both styles. For traditional homes, we often recommend classic wood finishes that complement existing trim and cabinetry.
Contemporary homes give us more freedom with sleek metal accents, bold colors, or modern geometric designs. The key is choosing a style that enhances your existing décor rather than fighting against it.
During our consultation, we bring samples and photos to help you visualize how different options will look in your space. We’ve worked with hundreds of DFW area homes and can guide you toward choices that will look great and add value.
We handle both new installations and repairs on existing barn doors. Common repair issues include hardware problems, track alignment, and door adjustments that affect smooth operation.
Many repair calls come from doors that were improperly installed initially. Poor mounting, inadequate structural support, or cheap hardware leads to problems down the road. We can often upgrade the hardware and reinstall properly to solve these issues.
If your existing barn door isn’t working properly, we’ll evaluate what’s needed during a service call. Sometimes it’s a simple adjustment, other times a complete hardware upgrade makes more sense. We’ll give you honest advice about the most cost-effective solution.
