Your windows should make life easier, not harder. When blinds fit right, everything changes. No more fighting with crooked slats or gaps that let in blazing afternoon sun. No more guessing whether they’ll actually block the light when you need privacy.
Professional installation means your blinds open and close smoothly every time. They stay level, look clean, and handle the daily use your family puts them through. You get the light control you want, the energy savings you need, and the finished look that makes your home feel complete.
The difference between DIY frustration and professional results? We measure twice, install once, and back it up with a warranty that means something.
A Plus Shutters & Shades brings over a decade of construction expertise to every Barton Hills installation. We’re part of the A Plus Home Remodel family, which means we understand how window treatments fit into your bigger picture.
We specialize in Texas-made products because we know what works in this climate. Our team has outfitted hundreds of homes across the Austin area, and we’ve learned what Barton Hills homeowners actually need: solutions that handle the heat, look great, and don’t break down after a few seasons.
When you’re dealing with Texas sun streaming through your windows six months of the year, you need blinds that can take it. That’s exactly what we deliver.
We start with a consultation at your home. No showroom pressure, no guessing about how products will look in your space. We bring samples, take precise measurements, and walk through your options based on what you actually need.
Once you’ve made your selections, we handle the ordering and coordinate delivery. Our installation team shows up on time with everything needed to complete the job. We mount the brackets, hang the blinds, test the operation, and clean up after ourselves.
Before we leave, we walk you through how everything works and answer any questions. You get a warranty on both the products and our installation work, so you’re covered if anything needs adjustment down the road.

Every installation includes precise measurement, custom fitting, and professional mounting. We work with all window types – standard, bay, arched, or unusual shapes that give other installers headaches.
Our service covers the full range of blind styles: wood, faux wood, aluminum, vinyl, and specialty options like cellular shades for energy efficiency. We handle cordless systems, motorized options, and smart home integration when that’s what you need.
For Barton Hills homeowners, we pay special attention to sun exposure and energy efficiency. Your south-facing windows get different treatment recommendations than north-facing ones. We factor in your home’s architecture, your privacy needs, and how you actually use each room. The goal is blinds that work with your lifestyle, not against it.
Installation costs vary based on window size, blind type, and customization level. Most Barton Hills homeowners spend between $150-600 per window for quality blinds with professional installation.
Basic aluminum or vinyl blinds run on the lower end, while custom wood blinds or motorized systems cost more. We provide upfront pricing during your consultation, so you know exactly what you’re paying before we start. Our quotes include measurement, installation, hardware, and cleanup – no surprise charges.
Cellular blinds are excellent for Texas homes because their honeycomb design traps air and blocks heat transfer. Faux wood blinds also perform well – they resist warping and fading from sun exposure better than real wood.
For rooms with intense afternoon sun, we often recommend light-filtering or blackout cellular shades. They can reduce cooling costs by preventing solar heat gain while still allowing natural light when you want it. Solar shades are another option for rooms where you want to maintain views while blocking UV rays and heat.
Most single-room installations take 1-2 hours. A whole-house project typically takes 4-8 hours depending on the number of windows and complexity of the installation.
We schedule installation appointments with realistic time windows and stick to them. Our installers work efficiently without rushing, because proper mounting and adjustment take time to do right. We’d rather spend an extra 15 minutes getting your blinds perfectly level than leave you with a crooked installation you’ll notice every day.
Yes, we specialize in custom solutions for arched windows, bay windows, skylights, and other non-standard shapes. Our team has handled everything from circular windows to floor-to-ceiling installations.
Custom work requires precise measurement and specialized mounting hardware, which is why many homeowners prefer professional installation over DIY. We template unusual shapes, order custom-manufactured blinds, and use mounting techniques that ensure proper operation and appearance. Each custom installation comes with the same warranty as our standard work.
We warranty our installation workmanship and stand behind every job. If brackets come loose, blinds don’t operate smoothly, or anything needs adjustment due to our installation, we fix it at no charge.
Product warranties vary by manufacturer, but we only work with companies that back their blinds with solid guarantees. During your consultation, we explain exactly what’s covered and for how long. Our goal is your complete satisfaction, and we’ll work with you to resolve any issues that come up after installation.
We focus on complete solutions – measurement, product selection, and installation – because that’s how we ensure the best results. When we handle the entire process, we can guarantee the fit, function, and appearance.
Installing blinds purchased elsewhere creates complications with measurement accuracy, warranty coverage, and responsibility if something doesn’t work right. Our pricing for complete service is competitive, and you get the peace of mind that comes with professional measurement and product selection designed specifically for your windows.
