Your energy bills drop. The road noise from I-35 fades. Light becomes something you control instead of something that controls you.
That’s what happens when shutters are measured precisely, built for your specific windows, and installed by people who’ve been doing this for over a decade. No gaps. No warping. No callbacks.
You get shutters that work exactly how they’re supposed to work, in a home that finally feels like yours.
A Plus Shutters & Shades has been serving Georgian Acres and North Austin for years. We understand the 1970s-1990s construction that defines this neighborhood – those mid-century homes with their unique window configurations and architectural quirks.
Our parent company, A Plus Home Remodel, brings over 10 years of construction experience to every shutter installation. We’re not just window treatment installers. We’re builders who happen to specialize in custom shutters, which makes all the difference when you’re dealing with bay windows, non-standard openings, or frames that have settled over decades.
We use Texas-made products because they’re engineered for Texas homes. Local craftsmanship, local materials, local understanding of what works in our climate.
First, we come to your Georgian Acres home for precise measurements. Every window gets measured down to the sixteenth of an inch because that’s what custom work requires. We discuss materials, styles, and exactly what you’re trying to accomplish with your window treatments.
Next, we build your shutters using Texas-made materials in our local workshop. No waiting 6-12 weeks for overseas shipping like other companies require. No damaged products from long-distance transport. Just quality plantation shutters built specifically for your home’s exact specifications.
Finally, our experienced installers handle the installation. These aren’t subcontractors – they’re our employees who understand both construction principles and shutter fitting. They install your custom shutters properly, demonstrate how everything operates, and ensure you’re completely satisfied before they leave your home.
Ready to get started?
Your shutter installation includes precise measurement, custom manufacturing, and professional installation by our experienced team. We handle everything from initial consultation to final installation – no coordination with multiple vendors, no wondering if parts will arrive on time or undamaged.
In Georgian Acres, we see plenty of mid-century homes with unique window configurations. Bay windows that aren’t quite standard dimensions. Odd-sized openings. Windows that have settled slightly over the decades. We handle all of it through custom shutter fitting that works with your home’s specific architecture.
We also include a satisfaction guarantee and ongoing support. If something needs adjustment after installation, we handle it promptly. These shutters are built to last 30+ years, and we stand behind that promise with local service you can actually count on.
Shutter installation typically ranges from $2,000 to $4,000 for most Georgian Acres homes, depending on the number and size of windows. Individual windows run $70 to $350 each, with the average around $220 per window for quality plantation shutters.
The investment makes sense when you consider the long-term benefits. Quality shutters increase your home value with up to 75% return on investment. They also reduce energy bills by preventing up to 50% of heat loss through your windows – significant savings during those brutal Texas summers when your AC runs constantly.
We provide detailed, upfront pricing during your consultation. No surprises, no hidden fees, no pressure tactics.
Installation typically takes 2-4 hours per window, depending on size and complexity. For most Georgian Acres homes, we complete the entire project in one day, sometimes two for larger homes with many windows.
The complete timeline includes measurement (usually same-day quote), manufacturing (2-4 weeks for custom shutters), and installation. We’re much faster than companies that ship from overseas – they often quote 6-12 weeks just for delivery, not including potential shipping delays or damage.
Our local manufacturing means faster turnaround and better quality control. Plus, if any adjustments are needed after installation, we’re right here in the North Austin area to handle it quickly.
Plantation shutters work exceptionally well in Georgian Acres homes. The wide louvers complement the mid-century architecture common in the neighborhood, and they provide excellent light control for those large windows typical of 1970s-1990s construction.
For Georgian Acres’ climate, we often recommend composite or polywood shutters over pure wood. They handle Texas heat and humidity better, won’t warp or crack over time, and provide superior insulation properties. They’re also moisture-resistant, making them perfect for bathrooms and kitchens in older homes.
We offer both wood and composite options, plus custom colors to match your existing trim and décor perfectly.
Absolutely. Quality plantation shutters can reduce heat loss through windows by up to 50%, which translates to noticeable savings on your energy bills. In Texas, where air conditioning runs most of the year, that impact adds up quickly.
Shutters create an insulating barrier between your home and the outside temperature. During hot summers, they reflect heat away from your windows before it enters your home. During cooler months, they help retain warm air inside, reducing heating costs.
Many of our Georgian Acres customers report seeing reduced energy bills within the first month after installation. The shutters essentially pay for themselves over time through energy savings, making them both a comfort and financial investment.
Yes, we specialize in custom installations for unusual window shapes and configurations. Georgian Acres homes often have bay windows, arched openings, and non-standard sizes that require custom solutions rather than off-the-shelf products.
Our construction background gives us a significant advantage here. We understand how to work with existing framing, how to handle structural considerations, and how to create custom shutter solutions that look like they were built with the original house.
Every shutter is measured and built specifically for your windows. We guarantee a perfect fit, regardless of your window’s shape, size, or age-related settling.
We provide a comprehensive warranty that covers both materials and installation workmanship. Our shutters are built to last 30+ years, and we stand behind that promise with local service and ongoing support.
The warranty covers manufacturing defects, installation issues, and normal wear over time. If something needs adjustment or repair, we handle it promptly – no waiting for out-of-state service calls or dealing with third-party warranty companies.
As a local company serving Georgian Acres and North Austin, we’re invested in your long-term satisfaction. We’re not going anywhere, and neither is our commitment to making sure your shutters perform perfectly for decades to come.
