Your AC isn’t fighting a losing battle anymore. Blackout roller shades stop Texas sun before it turns your living room into a greenhouse, which means your system runs less and your bills drop. You’re not guessing at comfort anymore.
Your furniture stops fading. UV rays are the main reason your sofa, rugs, and hardwood lose color over time. Interior roller shades with the right fabric block that damage without making your home feel like a cave.
You sleep better. Total darkness isn’t just nice to have if you work nights or have young kids—it’s essential. Blackout blinds for windows in bedrooms give you that kind of control, and motorized options mean you don’t even need to get out of bed to adjust them.
Your home looks cleaner. Roller shade blinds sit flat against the window when lowered and disappear into a compact headbox when raised. No bulk, no clutter, just a smooth surface that works with modern interiors instead of competing with them.
A Plus Shutters & Shades is a branch of A Plus Home Remodel, and we’ve spent over 10 years working on homes across Arlington, Fort Worth, and the surrounding areas. We’re not a franchise. Everything from your first call to final installation is handled by our team—no outsourcing, no surprises.
We measure, build, and install every roller blind window treatment ourselves. That matters in Brookhollow, where homes have larger windows and higher expectations. You’re not getting a one-size-fits-all product shipped from somewhere else. You’re getting custom work built to your exact specs.
We also understand what Texas heat does to homes. Brookhollow sits in one of the wealthiest neighborhoods in the state, with newer construction and plenty of south- and west-facing glass. That means afternoon sun is brutal, and your window treatments need to perform, not just look good.
You call or reach out online, and we schedule a free consultation at your home. We’re not there to pressure you. We’re there to measure your windows, show you fabric samples, and talk through what you actually need—blackout, light-filtering, motorized, manual, whatever makes sense for your space.
Once you decide, we build your custom roller shades in-house. We’re not waiting on a third party. We control quality, timing, and fit. That’s why our installations go smoothly and why the product lasts.
Then our installers come out and handle everything. They mount the shades, test the operation, clean up, and walk you through how to use them. If you went with motorized roller shades, they’ll show you how the controls work and make sure everything syncs properly.
After that, you’re done. If something ever needs adjustment, you call us directly. No runaround, no transferring you to another department. We installed it, so we handle it.

Every roller shade we install is custom-measured for your windows. That means no gaps, no light leaks, and no awkward sizing issues. You pick the fabric—blackout if you want total darkness, light-filtering if you want a soft glow, or solar screen if you’re dealing with intense glare but still want a view.
Motorized options are available for hard-to-reach windows or if you just want convenience. Control them from your phone, set schedules, or integrate them with your smart home system. It’s not a gimmick—it’s genuinely useful if you have tall windows or want to automate your shades based on time of day.
In Brookhollow, where summer temps regularly hit the high 90s and your cooling season runs longer than most of the country, energy efficiency matters. Blackout roller shades add a layer of insulation that keeps heat out before it ever reaches your room. That takes pressure off your HVAC system and cuts down on those brutal summer utility bills.
You also get a warranty and local support. We’re in Arlington, so if you ever need service, we’re 20 minutes away—not on the other end of a 1-800 number.
Blackout roller shades block 100% of incoming light. They’re built with dense, opaque fabric that stops sun completely, which makes them ideal for bedrooms, nurseries, or media rooms where you need total darkness. If you work night shifts or have kids who need to nap during the day, blackout blinds are the right call.
Light-filtering roller shades let in a soft, diffused glow while still giving you privacy. You get natural light without the harsh glare or the feeling that people can see straight into your home. They’re better for living rooms, kitchens, or offices where you want brightness but not the full blast of Texas afternoon sun.
The choice depends on the room and what you’re trying to solve. Most Brookhollow homeowners end up using blackout shades in bedrooms and light-filtering everywhere else. We can show you samples during the consultation so you see exactly what each fabric does.
Yes, but only if they’re installed correctly and you’re using the right fabric. Blackout roller shades and solar screen fabrics block heat before it enters the room, which reduces the load on your air conditioning. That’s especially important in Brookhollow, where you’re running your AC from April through October.
South- and west-facing windows are the biggest culprits. They take the brunt of afternoon sun, and without protection, they turn your rooms into hotboxes. Roller blinds for windows on those sides of your home make a noticeable difference—some homeowners report drops of 10-15% on their cooling costs after installation.
The key is getting a proper fit. Gaps around the edges let heat and light leak in, which defeats the purpose. That’s why we custom-measure every window and mount the shades so they sit flush. You’re not leaving money on the table because of sloppy installation.
If you have tall windows, hard-to-reach spots, or just want the convenience, motorized roller shades are absolutely worth it. You control them from your phone or a remote, which means no cords, no climbing, and no struggling with manual chains.
They’re also useful if you want to automate your home. Set your blackout blinds to lower at sunset and raise at sunrise, or integrate them with your smart home system so they adjust based on temperature or time of day. That’s not just a luxury feature—it’s practical if you’re serious about energy efficiency and convenience.
The upfront cost is higher than manual options, but the mechanism is reliable and the motors are quiet. We install a lot of motorized shades in Brookhollow because homeowners here have larger windows and appreciate the ease. If you’re on the fence, we can show you how they operate during the consultation so you can decide if it’s worth it for your setup.
From consultation to installation, you’re usually looking at two to three weeks. That includes the time it takes us to measure your windows, build the shades in-house, and schedule the install around your availability.
We don’t rush the process because accuracy matters. Custom roller shades need precise measurements, and we’d rather take an extra day to get it right than show up with something that doesn’t fit. Once the shades are ready, installation itself is quick—usually a few hours depending on how many windows you’re covering.
If you have a tighter timeline, let us know during the consultation. We can sometimes move faster if the project is straightforward, but we won’t cut corners just to hit a deadline. You’re paying for quality, and that means doing it right the first time.
Yes, as long as you’re using quality materials and proper installation. Cheap roller blinds from big-box stores tend to warp, fade, or lose tension after a summer or two of Texas heat. The fabrics aren’t designed for prolonged UV exposure, and the hardware isn’t built to last.
We use fabrics specifically rated for high-heat climates and UV resistance. Blackout roller shades and solar screen options are engineered to withstand constant sun without breaking down. The headbox and mounting hardware are also built to handle the expansion and contraction that comes with temperature swings.
Brookhollow homes deal with intense afternoon sun, especially on south- and west-facing windows. If your shades are going to fail, that’s where it’ll happen. We’ve been installing roller shade blinds in this area for over a decade, and we know what holds up. That’s why we stand behind the products we use and offer warranties that actually mean something.
Yes. We handle both residential and commercial projects across Brookhollow, Arlington, Fort Worth, and surrounding areas. The process is similar—free consultation, custom measurement, in-house fabrication, professional installation—but commercial jobs often involve more windows and tighter timelines.
For businesses, interior roller shades and blackout window blinds are popular for conference rooms, offices, and storefronts where glare and privacy matter. Motorized options are especially useful in commercial settings because they’re easier to operate across multiple windows and can be controlled centrally.
Whether it’s your home or your business, we’re handling the project the same way: everything done by our team, nothing outsourced, and full support after installation. If you’re managing a commercial property in Brookhollow and need window treatments that perform in Texas heat, we’ve done this before and know what works.
