Your St. Edwards home deserves doors that do more than just look good. When we install your custom barn door, you get back that floor space traditional swing doors steal, plus a statement piece that actually fits your style.
No more cramped hallways or awkward furniture arrangements. No more settling for generic hardware store options that don’t match your home’s character.
You get a door that slides smoothly, stays aligned, and handles daily use without the noise, sticking, or maintenance headaches that come with poor installation. Just clean lines, smooth operation, and the kind of craftsmanship that makes your neighbors ask where you found it.
A Plus Shutters & Shades has been serving the DFW area with custom barn door solutions that actually last. We’re not the guys who show up, hang a door, and disappear when problems arise.
We understand St. Edwards homes. The older construction that needs proper structural support. The modern condos where every inch of space matters. The design-conscious homeowners who want something unique but functional.
Every door we install gets the kind of attention that prevents the alignment issues, track problems, and hardware failures that plague DIY installations. Because when you’re investing in your home, you need it done right the first time.
We start with a consultation at your St. Edwards home to assess your space, discuss your style preferences, and take precise measurements. No guesswork, no surprises later.
Next, we help you choose from 9 distinct styles and 35 finishes to match your existing décor or create the focal point you’ve been envisioning. We handle the custom sizing to ensure perfect coverage and smooth operation.
Installation day means proper structural support, precise alignment, and attention to the details that separate professional work from DIY disasters. We test everything before we leave, and you get doors that slide smoothly and stay that way. The whole process typically takes 2-4 hours per door, depending on your specific requirements.

Every barn door installation includes proper wall reinforcement to handle doors that can weigh up to 200 pounds. We don’t cut corners on structural support because we know Texas homes need installations that last.
You get quality hardware designed for daily use, not the lightweight tracks that fail after a few months. Professional alignment that prevents the sticking, noise, and premature wear that plague amateur installations.
In St. Edwards, where home values average over $600,000, your improvements need to match the quality of your investment. Our locally-crafted doors and expert installation deliver the durability and style that complement your home’s value, not detract from it.
Most single barn door installations take 2-4 hours, depending on your wall structure and any obstacles like electrical outlets or switches. Older St. Edwards homes sometimes need additional prep work for proper structural support, which we handle the same day.
Double doors or bypass systems may take longer, but we provide clear timelines during your consultation. We don’t rush installations because proper alignment and structural support can’t be hurried if you want doors that work smoothly for years.
Professional installation prevents the three biggest problems we see with DIY attempts: misalignment that causes sticking, inadequate structural support that leads to sagging, and improper spacing that creates gaps or clearance issues.
Barn doors are heavy and require precise measurements and alignment. One mistake in track placement or wall support can damage your door, your wall, or both. We have the tools and experience to handle the structural requirements and ensure smooth operation from day one.
Plus, we know how to work around obstacles like electrical outlets and trim work that often derail DIY projects.
Absolutely. Many St. Edwards homes have unique architectural features that require custom solutions, and we handle these regularly. Older homes often need additional wall reinforcement or header installation to properly support barn door weight.
We assess your wall structure during consultation and handle any necessary prep work. Sometimes this means adding blocking between studs or installing a header across the opening, but we take care of all structural requirements as part of the installation process.
The key is proper planning and the right hardware for your specific situation, which is why we always start with an in-home consultation.
St. Edwards homes range from mid-century modern to contemporary, so we offer 9 distinct styles and 35 finishes to complement any décor. Popular choices include reclaimed wood finishes that add warmth to modern spaces and painted options that create clean, contemporary looks.
For homes with existing wood floors or trim, we help you choose complementary tones rather than exact matches, which creates a more natural, layered look. Glass inserts work well in smaller spaces to maintain light flow, while solid wood options provide maximum privacy.
During consultation, we bring samples so you can see how different options look with your existing finishes and lighting.
Properly installed barn doors require minimal maintenance. We recommend occasional cleaning of the track to remove any debris and periodic lubrication of the rollers for smooth operation, but that’s about it for routine care.
The key is quality hardware and proper installation from the start. Cheap tracks and poor alignment create maintenance headaches, but professional-grade components and precise installation eliminate most problems before they start.
We use hardware designed for daily use and install it with the structural support needed for long-term performance. Most of our customers go years without needing any service beyond basic cleaning.
Investment varies based on door size, material, hardware, and any structural prep work needed. Custom wood doors with professional installation typically range from $1,000 to $3,000, depending on your specific requirements and finish choices.
Factors that affect pricing include door dimensions, wood species, hardware style, and installation complexity. Homes needing additional structural support or electrical work around the installation area may require additional investment.
We provide detailed estimates during consultation so you know exactly what to expect. No surprises, no hidden costs, and no pressure to decide on the spot. Quality installation is an investment in your home’s value and your daily convenience.
