You stop waking up at 6 a.m. because the sun decided it’s time. Your bedroom stays dark when you need it to, and your living room doesn’t turn into a greenhouse by noon.
Blackout roller shades do more than block light. They cut down on the heat coming through your windows, which means your AC isn’t working overtime all summer. That’s a real difference on your energy bill, not just a nice idea.
And if you’ve been dealing with glare on your TV or fading furniture, that stops too. You get control over how much light comes in, when it comes in, and how your home feels throughout the day. No gaps along the edges. No compromises. Just windows that do what you need them to do.
A Plus Shutters & Shades is part of A Plus Home Remodel, and we’ve been working in homes across Flower Mound, Denton County, and the DFW area since 2014. We’re not a franchise. We’re local, and we know what Texas homeowners are dealing with when it comes to sun, heat, and windows that don’t pull their weight.
We measure, we install, and we make sure it’s done right the first time. You’re not getting a crew that’s learning on your house. You’re getting people who’ve done this hundreds of times and know how to handle the details that matter—like making sure blackout blinds for windows actually block the light, or that motorized roller shades integrate with your smart home setup without a hassle.
It starts with a free consultation at your home. We measure your windows, talk through what you’re trying to solve—whether that’s blackout coverage for bedrooms, energy efficiency, or motorized options for hard-to-reach windows—and show you samples so you can see the materials and colors in your actual space.
Once you decide what works, we order everything custom. That means your roller shade blinds are built to fit your exact window dimensions. No gaps. No guessing. When they arrive, we come back and install them. The process is clean, and it doesn’t take all day.
After installation, we walk you through how everything operates—especially if you’re going with motorized or smart roller shades. You’ll know how to use them, and if anything comes up down the road, we’re a phone call away. That’s it. No runaround, no surprises.

You’re getting window treatments built specifically for your home. We’re talking blackout roller shades that eliminate light gaps, roller blinds for windows that fit flush to the frame, and materials designed to handle Texas heat without warping or fading.
If you want motorized options, we install systems that work with remotes, smartphone apps, or voice control through your existing smart home setup. That’s especially useful for tall windows, multiple rooms, or if you just want to automate your shades to close when the sun hits a certain angle. It’s convenient, and it actually makes a difference in how your home feels throughout the day.
In Flower Mound, where summer temps regularly hit the mid-90s and your AC is already working hard, energy-efficient roller shades help. The right fabric blocks UV rays and reduces heat transfer, which keeps your rooms cooler and your energy bills lower. You’re also protecting your floors and furniture from sun damage, which adds up over time.
Blackout roller shades are made with materials that block 100% of incoming light. Regular roller shades—sometimes called light-filtering—let some light through, which softens the room but doesn’t give you complete darkness.
If you’re trying to sleep past sunrise, create a dark room for shift work, or set up a home theater, blackout blinds for windows are what you need. They’re also better for privacy since you can’t see through them at all, even at night with interior lights on.
The other benefit is heat control. Blackout fabrics tend to be thicker and often have a reflective backing, which helps block heat from the sun. That makes a noticeable difference in bedrooms and living areas that get direct afternoon light in Flower Mound.
Yes. Motorized roller shades can integrate with most smart home platforms, including Google Home, Amazon Alexa, and Apple HomeKit. You can control them with your phone, voice commands, or set them on a schedule so they open and close automatically.
This is especially useful if you have multiple windows or rooms you want to control at once. Instead of adjusting each shade manually, you can program them to close when the sun hits a certain side of your house, or open in the morning to let natural light in.
We install systems that are compatible with your existing setup, and we’ll walk you through how to connect everything during installation. If you’re not sure what you have or what will work, we can figure that out during the consultation.
It depends on the size of your windows, the type of fabric, and whether you want motorized options. A standard roller shade for a bedroom window typically starts around $200 to $400 per window. Blackout roller shades or motorized versions will be higher, usually in the $400 to $800 range depending on features and size.
Larger windows, specialty shapes, or smart home integration add to the cost, but you’re paying for something that’s built to fit your exact measurements and last. We’re not selling you stock sizes that kind of fit. Everything is custom, which means no light gaps and no compromises on function.
During the free consultation, we’ll measure your windows and give you a clear quote based on what you actually need. No pressure, no surprises later.
Yes, especially blackout and solar roller shades. When your windows are covered with the right fabric, you’re blocking a significant amount of heat from entering your home. That means your air conditioner doesn’t have to work as hard to keep things cool, which directly impacts your energy usage.
In Flower Mound, where summer heat is intense and lasts for months, that difference adds up. Some homeowners see a 15-20% reduction in cooling costs after installing energy-efficient window treatments. The key is using roller shade blinds with UV-blocking or reflective materials that stop heat transfer before it gets into your living space.
You’ll also notice rooms stay more comfortable throughout the day. Less heat coming in means fewer hot spots and a more consistent temperature, which makes your home easier to live in during peak summer months.
Installation usually takes a few hours depending on how many windows you’re covering. For a typical home with 5-10 windows, we’re usually done in half a day. Motorized roller shades take a bit longer because of the wiring and setup, but it’s still a same-day job in most cases.
We schedule the installation after your custom shades arrive, which is typically 2-3 weeks from when you place the order. Everything is built to your exact measurements, so there’s a short lead time, but that’s what ensures a perfect fit.
During installation, we handle all the mounting, make sure everything operates smoothly, and clean up when we’re done. If you’re getting motorized or smart options, we’ll also walk you through how to use the controls and connect them to your system before we leave.
Blackout roller shades are the best option for bedrooms if you want complete light control and better sleep. They block 100% of sunlight, which is especially important in Flower Mound where early morning light and streetlights can be an issue.
If you also want energy efficiency, look for blackout fabrics with a thermal backing. These help keep your bedroom cooler in the summer and can even provide some insulation in the winter. The result is a more comfortable room and lower energy costs year-round.
Motorized options are worth considering if you have large windows or multiple shades in one room. You can set them to close automatically at sunset or open in the morning without getting out of bed. It’s a convenience thing, but it also ensures your blackout blinds for windows are doing their job consistently without you having to think about it.
