You’re dealing with a home that deserves better than cramped doorways and wasted space. Barn doors slide smoothly along the wall instead of swinging into your room, instantly freeing up square footage you didn’t know you had.
The difference is immediate. No more furniture pushed against walls to accommodate door swings. No more awkward traffic patterns around open doors. Just clean, functional movement between spaces that feels natural and looks intentional.
Your Lakeway home gets the sophisticated upgrade it deserves while solving real daily frustrations. That’s the kind of improvement that makes you wonder why you waited so long.
A Plus Shutters & Shades brings over a decade of construction expertise to every barn door installation in Lakeway. We understand the unique architectural styles that define this lakeside community, from traditional Hill Country homes to modern designs with clean lines and open concepts.
Our team knows Lakeway homes inside and out. We’ve worked with the high ceilings, abundant natural light, and quality finishes that make your neighborhood special. That local knowledge means proper installation the first time, with hardware and materials that complement your home’s existing style.
You’re not just getting installers. You’re getting neighbors who take pride in enhancing the homes where we all live and work.
We start with precise measurements of your space and a conversation about how you actually use the room. Every opening is different, and cookie-cutter solutions don’t work in custom homes.
Next comes material and style selection. We’ll show you options that work with your home’s architecture and your daily needs. Wood species, hardware finishes, and door configurations that make sense for your specific situation.
Installation happens with minimal disruption to your routine. Our team handles the heavy lifting, precise mounting, and hardware adjustment. You get doors that slide smoothly and look exactly right from day one. The whole process typically takes a few hours, and you’re left with a functional upgrade that transforms how your space works.

Our barn doors are crafted from Texas-made materials designed to handle the local climate and daily use. You can choose from authentic reclaimed wood that brings character, or modern materials like steel and glass that offer contemporary appeal.
Lakeway homes demand quality that lasts. That’s why we source materials built for durability and style longevity. Whether you’re dividing an open concept space, creating privacy for a home office, or replacing a traditional door that eats up floor space, we have options that work.
Hardware systems are selected for smooth, quiet operation that holds up over time. No cheap track systems or flimsy mounting. Your investment gets the robust foundation it needs to function properly for years. That attention to the details that matter is what separates professional installation from DIY disappointment.
You need wall space equal to the width of your door opening plus the door width itself. For a 36-inch opening, you’d need about 6 feet of wall space total for the door to slide completely open.
The wall must be structurally sound to support the door’s weight and hardware. Most interior walls work fine, but we always check during our consultation. If your wall needs reinforcement, we handle that as part of the installation.
Height requirements are typically 8 feet minimum for standard doors, though we can work with lower ceilings using specialized hardware. The key is having enough clearance above the opening for the track system.
Wood remains the most popular choice because it complements both traditional Hill Country and modern Lakeway architecture. We use properly sealed and finished wood that handles Texas humidity without warping or cracking.
For high-moisture areas like bathrooms, composite materials or metal options perform better long-term. Glass barn doors work beautifully in contemporary homes where you want light flow between spaces while maintaining some separation.
The material choice depends on your specific room conditions, style preferences, and how the door will be used daily. We’ll recommend options that make sense for your particular situation and home design.
Standard barn doors provide visual privacy but allow some sound transfer, similar to traditional interior doors. For rooms requiring more sound isolation, we can install doors with overlapping edges and weatherstripping.
Double barn doors or doors with solid core construction offer better sound control than single hollow-core options. The key is matching the door design to your privacy needs during the planning phase.
Most homeowners find barn doors provide sufficient privacy for bedrooms, offices, and bathrooms when properly sized and installed. We’ll discuss your specific privacy requirements and recommend appropriate solutions.
Most single barn door installations take 2-4 hours depending on the complexity of the hardware and any wall preparation needed. Double doors or custom configurations may require additional time.
We handle all the prep work including wall reinforcement if needed, precise track mounting, and door adjustment. The actual installation is usually completed in one visit, though custom doors may require a separate delivery timeline.
You can use the space normally within hours of completion. There’s no drying time or additional steps once the installation is finished. We test the door operation thoroughly before considering the job complete.
Quality barn doors typically add both functional value and market appeal to homes. They’re seen as an upgrade that maximizes space efficiency while adding architectural interest.
In Lakeway’s competitive real estate market, unique features that solve common space challenges can differentiate your home. Barn doors appeal to buyers looking for both style and practical solutions.
The return on investment depends on the quality of materials and installation. Professional installation with quality hardware ensures the feature remains attractive and functional long-term, maintaining its value contribution.
Properly installed barn doors require minimal ongoing maintenance. The track system should be cleaned periodically to remove dust and debris that could affect smooth operation.
Wood doors may need occasional touch-up staining or sealing, similar to other wood elements in your home. Metal and composite materials typically just need regular cleaning with appropriate products.
Hardware lubrication once or twice yearly keeps the sliding mechanism operating smoothly. We provide maintenance guidelines specific to your door materials and hardware system. Most homeowners find barn doors actually require less maintenance than traditional hinged doors since there are fewer moving parts to wear out.
