Your AC stops running constantly because the sun isn’t pouring heat through your windows all afternoon. That’s the difference quality roller shades make in Azle, where summer temps regularly hit the mid-90s and your cooling system works overtime from June through September.
You’ll notice it first on your energy bill. Texas households waste an average of $481 a year on cooling costs that proper window treatments would eliminate. That’s real money staying in your account instead of going to the utility company.
But it’s more than savings. You get actual control over your space. Blackout roller shades let you sleep past sunrise or work from home without screen glare. Light-filtering options give you privacy without making rooms feel like caves. And when 16% of Azle residents work from home, having a comfortable, functional space isn’t optional anymore.
Your furniture stops fading. Your floors don’t bleach out in patches. And you’re not constantly adjusting blinds or dealing with broken mechanisms because everything’s custom-fit and built to last.
We grew out of A Plus Home Remodel, a company that’s been transforming North Texas homes since 2014. We’re not new to construction, installation, or understanding what Texas homeowners actually need.
We opened our dedicated showroom because we saw too many people getting generic solutions that didn’t account for Azle’s climate, home styles, or the way people actually live here. You’re not getting a one-size-fits-all product shipped from somewhere else. You’re getting Texas-made roller shades, professionally measured, and installed by people who’ve done this thousands of times across Arlington, Fort Worth, and the surrounding communities.
We’re local. We guarantee our work. And we’re not interested in selling you something that won’t hold up to a Texas summer or look dated in two years.
You start with a consultation, either at our showroom or at your home in Azle. We’ll look at your windows, talk about what you’re trying to solve—heat, privacy, light control, energy costs—and show you options that actually fit your situation. No pressure, no upselling. Just honest recommendations based on what works.
Once you choose your roller shades, we take precise measurements. This isn’t a rough estimate. We’re accounting for window depth, mounting surface, and how the shade will operate in your specific frame. Custom fit means it works right and looks clean.
Then we fabricate your shades. Because we use Texas-made products, turnaround is faster than ordering from out of state. When they’re ready, we schedule installation at a time that works for you.
Installation is straightforward. We mount everything securely, make sure the operation is smooth, and clean up completely. You’re not left with a mess or a “figure it out yourself” manual. We test every shade before we leave, and if something ever needs adjustment, we come back. That’s the warranty in action.

Every roller shade we install is measured specifically for your windows. That means no gaps where light leaks through or heat sneaks in. You’re getting a true custom fit, not a trimmed-down stock size.
You choose the fabric based on what you need. Blackout roller shades completely block light—ideal for bedrooms, nurseries, or home theaters. Light-filtering fabrics let natural light in while maintaining privacy, which works well for living rooms and kitchens. Solar shades cut glare and UV rays but keep your view, perfect for home offices or rooms facing south where sun exposure is intense.
Azle homes deal with serious sun. South- and west-facing windows take a beating from afternoon heat, and without protection, your AC is fighting a losing battle. The right roller shade fabric reflects heat before it enters your home, which is why energy-efficient window treatments can cut cooling costs significantly in North Texas.
You also get options for motorization. If you want to control your blackout blinds for windows from your phone or integrate them with your smart home system, we can set that up. It’s not a gimmick—it’s genuinely useful when you’re managing multiple windows or want to automate shades based on time of day.
And maintenance? Practically none. A damp cloth handles dust. These aren’t fragile. They’re built for daily use in real homes.
Blackout roller shades block 100% of light. When they’re closed, the room goes dark—no sun, no streetlights, no glow from outside. They’re the right choice for bedrooms where you need to sleep past sunrise, nurseries where babies nap during the day, or media rooms where screen glare ruins the experience.
Light-filtering roller shades let diffused natural light come through while still giving you privacy. You can see shapes and movement outside, but people can’t see in clearly. They soften harsh sunlight without making a room feel closed off, which is why they work well in living rooms, kitchens, and dining areas where you want brightness but not direct glare.
If you’re trying to reduce energy costs, both types help. Blackout fabrics provide more insulation because they’re denser, but quality light-filtering shades still reflect a significant amount of heat. The decision comes down to how you use the room and how much light control you need throughout the day.
Yes, but only if they’re the right type and properly installed. The average Texas household wastes around $481 annually on cooling costs that energy-efficient window treatments would prevent. That’s not a small number, especially when Azle summers mean your AC runs from May through September.
Here’s how it works. When sun hits your windows, it transfers heat into your home. Your air conditioner has to work harder to compensate, running longer cycles and using more electricity. Roller shades with solar or blackout fabrics block that heat transfer before it happens. You’re stopping the problem at the source instead of trying to cool down a room that’s already overheated.
The savings are most noticeable on south- and west-facing windows, where afternoon sun is most intense. If you’ve ever noticed one room in your house is always hotter than the others, that’s probably why. Covering those windows with the right roller shade fabric can drop the temperature several degrees, which means your AC doesn’t have to run as hard or as often.
From consultation to installation, you’re usually looking at two to three weeks. That includes the time it takes to fabricate your custom roller blinds for windows after we’ve measured and you’ve chosen your fabric and style.
The process starts with us coming to your home in Azle or you visiting our showroom. We’ll measure your windows, discuss what you’re trying to accomplish, and help you pick the right options. That appointment usually takes about an hour, depending on how many windows you’re covering and how many questions you have.
Once you approve everything, we order your shades. Because we use Texas-made products, turnaround is faster than companies that source from overseas or out of state. When your roller shades arrive, we schedule installation at a time that works for your schedule. Installation itself is quick—most homes are done in a few hours, depending on the number of windows. We’re not tearing anything apart or making a mess. We mount the shades, test the operation, and clean up completely before we leave.
Yes. Motorized roller shades integrate with most major smart home systems, including Amazon Alexa and Google Home. You can control them with your phone, set schedules, or tie them into routines with your other devices.
This isn’t just a convenience feature. If you have multiple windows or hard-to-reach spots, motorization makes daily use significantly easier. You can close all your blackout blinds at sunset with one command, or program your shades to lower automatically during the hottest part of the day to keep your home cooler.
For people working from home—and 16% of Azle residents do—motorized shades let you adjust light and glare without getting up during calls or breaking focus. You can also control them remotely, which is useful if you’re away and want to make your home look occupied for security purposes.
The motors are quiet and reliable. They’re built into the roller mechanism, so there’s no bulky equipment hanging off your window. And if you ever want to operate them manually, you can. The system doesn’t lock you into one method.
Yes. Custom roller shades are built to fit your exact window dimensions, whether that’s a standard double-hung, a wide picture window, or something with unusual proportions. We’re not trying to make a stock size work—we’re fabricating the shade specifically for your space.
Large windows are common in newer Azle homes, and they’re often the biggest source of heat gain and energy loss. A properly fitted roller shade on a big window makes a noticeable difference in how comfortable that room feels, especially if it faces south or west where sun exposure is most intense.
For unusually shaped windows—arches, angles, or custom builds—we’ll assess what’s possible during the consultation. In most cases, we can create a solution that covers the window effectively and operates smoothly. The key is precise measurement and understanding how the shade will mount and function in that specific frame. That’s where experience matters, and it’s why we don’t do rough estimates or “close enough” installations.
Roller shades need almost no maintenance. Dust them occasionally with a dry cloth or vacuum with a brush attachment. If they get dirty, wipe them down with a damp cloth—no harsh chemicals, no special treatments. The fabrics we use are durable and designed for daily operation in real homes.
How long they last depends on the quality of the product and the installation. Cheap, off-the-shelf roller blinds from big-box stores might last a few years before the fabric fades, the mechanism jams, or the mounting brackets fail. Custom roller shades built with quality materials and installed correctly can last 10 to 15 years or more, even with daily use.
The difference comes down to how they’re made and how they’re mounted. We’re using commercial-grade components and Texas-made fabrics that hold up to sun exposure and temperature swings. And because everything’s custom-fit, there’s no stress on the mechanism from forcing a shade into a space that’s slightly too big or too small. It operates smoothly from day one, and it keeps operating smoothly because it was built right in the first place.
