Your cramped hallway becomes an open, flowing space. That awkward corner where a traditional door won’t fit? Now it’s functional again.
Barn doors don’t just solve space problems—they create focal points. The right wood grain and hardware turn an ordinary doorway into something people notice. Something that makes your home feel intentional, not accidental.
Property values in Old Town reflect these details. Buyers see custom barn doors and think “upgraded.” They see quality installation and think “maintained.” You’re not just fixing a door problem—you’re making an investment that pays back.
A Plus Shutters & Shades has been installing custom doors in Old Town for years. We understand the unique challenges of older Texas homes—uneven walls, non-standard openings, and the need for solutions that respect your home’s character.
Most barn door problems come from poor installation, not poor doors. We measure twice, install once, and make sure your hardware can handle daily use. No sagging. No sticking. No regrets.
Old Town homeowners choose us because we show up when we say we will, quote fairly, and stand behind our work. Simple as that.
First, we visit your home to measure the space and discuss your style preferences. Every opening is different, and we need to see what we’re working with before recommending solutions.
Next, we help you choose the right door style and hardware. Wood species, stain color, track style—these decisions matter for both looks and function. We guide you through options that work with your home and budget.
Installation day is typically a half-day project. We protect your floors, install the track system properly, hang the door, and test everything before we leave. You get a door that slides smoothly and stays aligned for years.

Every barn door installation includes professional-grade hardware rated for your door’s weight. Cheap tracks fail quickly—we use systems designed for daily use.
Your custom wood barn door is built from quality materials. We work with reclaimed wood, new hardwoods, and engineered options depending on your preference and budget. Each door is finished to match your home’s existing trim and style.
Old Town’s climate demands proper sealing and finishing. Texas humidity and temperature swings can warp poorly prepared doors. We prep and finish every door to handle local conditions, so your investment lasts.
Barn door installation in Old Town typically ranges from $400 to $1,200, depending on door size, wood type, and hardware quality. A standard 36-inch door with basic hardware runs around $500-700 installed.
Custom sizes, premium wood species like reclaimed oak, and heavy-duty hardware increase the price. We provide detailed quotes after measuring your space, so you know exactly what you’re paying for before we start.
Most homeowners find the investment worthwhile when they see how barn doors transform their space and add to their home’s value.
Yes, we regularly install barn doors in Old Town’s older homes. These properties often have unique challenges—uneven walls, non-standard openings, and vintage trim that needs to be preserved.
We’ve developed techniques for working with plaster walls, irregular framing, and situations where standard hardware won’t work. Sometimes we need to add blocking or adjust the track system, but there’s usually a solution.
The key is proper assessment upfront. We measure carefully and plan the installation to work with your home’s existing structure, not against it.
Oak, pine, and cedar perform well in Texas climate conditions. Oak offers durability and classic grain patterns. Pine provides a lighter, more affordable option that takes stain beautifully. Cedar naturally resists moisture and insects.
Reclaimed wood is popular in Old Town for its character and history, but it requires careful inspection and preparation. We check for structural integrity and treat it properly to prevent warping or cracking.
The wood choice depends on your style preference, budget, and where the door will be installed. Interior doors have different requirements than those in mudrooms or areas with higher humidity.
Most barn door installations take 3-4 hours from start to finish. Simple installations in newer homes with standard openings can be completed in 2-3 hours. Older homes or custom situations may require additional time.
The timeline includes mounting the track, hanging the door, adjusting the rollers, and testing the operation. We don’t rush the process—proper installation is critical for long-term performance.
We schedule installations during convenient times and protect your floors and furniture throughout the process. You can use the door immediately after installation.
Yes, we repair barn doors with common problems like sticking, sagging, or hardware failure. Most issues stem from improper installation or low-quality hardware that wears out quickly.
Typical repairs include adjusting roller systems, replacing worn track components, and realigning doors that have shifted over time. Sometimes the door itself needs attention—warped boards or loose joints that affect operation.
We assess the problem first and provide repair options. In some cases, upgrading the hardware system is more cost-effective than repeatedly fixing cheap components.
Barn doors can provide privacy, but the installation method matters. Standard barn doors have gaps around the edges that allow sound and light to pass through. For bedrooms, this is often acceptable.
For bathrooms, we can install doors with tighter tolerances or add privacy strips to minimize gaps. Some homeowners choose barn doors for powder rooms but prefer traditional doors for master bathrooms.
We discuss privacy requirements during consultation and recommend solutions that meet your needs. The goal is a door that looks great and functions properly for its intended use.
