Your windows work against you right now. Too much glare during the day, zero privacy at night, and your AC working overtime because heat pours through uncovered glass.
Professional blinds installation changes all that. You get precise light control when you want it, complete privacy when you need it, and real energy savings that show up on your utility bill. No more squinting at your TV screen or cranking the thermostat to stay comfortable.
The difference is in the installation. When blinds fit properly – truly properly – they seal against your window frame and actually block heat instead of just hanging there looking decorative.
A Plus Shutters & Shades brings a decade of construction expertise to every Gateway, TX installation. We’re not just blind installers – we’re the local team that understands exactly what Texas windows need to perform in our climate.
Our showroom in nearby Arlington serves the entire Gateway area with custom window treatment solutions. We’ve built our reputation on installations that work the first time, with materials designed specifically for Texas heat and humidity.
Gateway homeowners choose us because we show up when we say we will, measure accurately, and install blinds that actually fit your windows instead of forcing standard sizes into custom spaces.
We start with accurate measurements at your Gateway home – not estimates, not “close enough” measurements. Our team measures every window individually because even windows that look the same often aren’t.
Next, we help you choose blinds that match your needs and budget. Wood, faux wood, vinyl, or fabric – we explain what works best for each room and why. No pressure, just honest advice about what performs well in Texas heat.
Installation happens on schedule. We arrive with everything needed, install your blinds with precision, and test every mechanism before we leave. You get blinds that operate smoothly and look exactly like you expected.

Every Gateway blinds installation includes professional measurement, custom fitting, and complete installation with all necessary hardware. We handle inside mount, outside mount, or ceiling mount installations depending on your window type and preferences.
Your installation comes with our workmanship warranty because we stand behind every job. We also provide operation instructions and basic maintenance tips to keep your blinds working smoothly for years.
Gateway’s mix of newer construction and established homes means we regularly work with standard windows, bay windows, specialty shapes, and challenging installations. Our construction background means we solve installation problems other companies walk away from.
Professional blinds installation in the Gateway area typically ranges from $150 to $600 per window, depending on blind type, window size, and installation complexity. This includes materials, hardware, and professional installation.
Custom blinds for unusual window shapes or premium materials like real wood will be on the higher end of that range. Standard-sized vinyl or faux wood blinds for typical windows fall toward the lower end. We provide exact pricing after measuring your specific windows because every installation is different.
Faux wood blinds and cellular shades perform exceptionally well in Texas heat. Faux wood blinds resist warping and fading while providing excellent light control and insulation. They look like real wood but handle humidity and temperature changes much better.
Cellular shades create an insulating air pocket that actually reduces heat transfer through your windows. This helps keep your home cooler and reduces energy costs during our long, hot summers. Both options are durable, easy to clean, and maintain their appearance despite intense Texas sun exposure.
Most Gateway home installations take 2-4 hours depending on the number of windows and installation complexity. Standard installations on typical windows move quickly once we start.
Custom installations or challenging window shapes may take longer. We always provide a time estimate when we schedule your installation so you can plan accordingly. We work efficiently but never rush the job because proper installation is what makes blinds function correctly for years.
Yes, we install blinds on standard windows, bay windows, skylights, sliding doors, and specialty shaped windows. Our construction background means we regularly solve installation challenges that other companies avoid.
Arched windows, angled windows, and unusually sized openings all get custom solutions. We measure each opening individually and create installation plans that ensure proper fit and operation. If you have windows that seem “difficult,” we’ve probably installed blinds on similar ones before.
Inside mount installation places blinds within the window frame, creating a clean, built-in appearance. This works when your window frame is deep enough and square. Inside mount provides maximum light blocking and looks most professional.
Outside mount installation places blinds on the wall or window trim around the opening. We use this method when the window frame isn’t suitable for inside mounting or when you want to make windows appear larger. Both methods work well – we recommend the best option based on your specific windows and preferences.
Yes, every installation includes our workmanship warranty covering installation quality and proper operation. We also provide manufacturer warranties on the blinds themselves, which vary by product type and brand.
Our warranty covers installation issues like brackets coming loose, improper mounting, or operational problems caused by installation errors. We return to fix any installation-related problems at no charge because we want your blinds working perfectly for years. Quality installation backed by a real warranty gives you confidence in your investment.
