Imagine adjusting your shutters and getting exactly the light you want. Privacy when you need it. Cool, comfortable rooms even during Texas heat waves. Energy bills that don’t make you wince.
This isn’t wishful thinking. It’s what happens when shutters are measured right, built right, and installed right the first time.
No gaps around the edges. No sagging louvers after six months. No buyer’s remorse about going with the “good enough” option that wasn’t actually good enough.
A Plus Shutters & Shades has spent over ten years perfecting shutter installation for Texas homes. We’re not window covering salespeople—we’re craftsmen who understand construction and what makes installations last.
Oatmeal homeowners deal with specific challenges. Intense summer sun that fades furniture and spikes cooling costs. Growing neighborhoods where privacy matters. Windows that need treatments tough enough for Texas weather.
We manufacture shutters right here in Texas using materials selected for our climate. When your shutters arrive, they’re built specifically for your windows—measured to 1/16th inch precision because close enough isn’t good enough.
We start with precise in-home measuring. Not estimates or “standard sizes” that leave gaps. Actual measurements of your specific windows using professional tools.
Your shutters are then manufactured in our Texas facility. Every piece built for your exact window dimensions using materials designed to handle heat, humidity, and UV exposure without warping or fading.
Installation day, our experienced team arrives with everything needed to complete the job. We mount, align, and test every shutter to ensure smooth operation. Most homes are finished in a single day, with complete cleanup included.

Every installation includes precision measuring, custom manufacturing, professional mounting, and our workmanship warranty. We handle plantation shutters, café styles, and specialty shapes including arched and bay windows.
Your shutters come with hardware designed for Texas homes. Hinges that won’t sag in humidity. Louvers that maintain alignment through temperature changes. Finishes that resist UV fading.
For Oatmeal homeowners, this means shutters that enhance your home’s value while delivering daily benefits. Better light control, improved energy efficiency, and the satisfaction of windows that finally work the way you want them to.
Most shutter installations are completed in one day. The timeline depends on the number of windows and any custom shapes like arches or bay windows.
From final measurements to installation typically takes 3-4 weeks. This includes manufacturing time for your custom shutters in our Texas facility.
Larger projects covering multiple rooms may be scheduled over two days to ensure quality installation and minimize disruption. We coordinate timing to work with your schedule and complete everything efficiently.
For Texas homes, we recommend plantation shutters made from composite materials specifically engineered for our climate. These handle humidity swings and intense UV without warping, cracking, or fading.
Real wood shutters look beautiful but require more maintenance in Texas humidity and can be damaged by moisture. Standard vinyl options often fade or become brittle in extreme heat.
Our Texas-manufactured shutters use advanced materials that maintain their appearance and structural integrity for decades. They’re designed specifically for the temperature extremes and humidity levels common in our area.
Quality shutters can reduce cooling costs by up to 30% by creating an insulating air barrier between your windows and interior spaces. This is particularly valuable in Texas where air conditioning dominates energy bills.
Properly fitted shutters eliminate gaps that allow conditioned air to escape. The adjustable louvers let you control heat gain throughout the day while maintaining natural light.
Beyond energy savings, shutters protect furniture and flooring from UV damage, extending their life significantly. Many homeowners find the energy savings alone justify the installation cost within a few years.
Our complete service includes in-home consultation, precision measuring, custom manufacturing, professional installation, and thorough cleanup. We handle every aspect from initial consultation to final walkthrough.
Installation includes all mounting hardware, proper alignment, and testing of louver operation. We adjust everything for smooth function and demonstrate proper operation and care.
Your installation comes with our workmanship warranty covering both materials and installation. If any issues develop with our work, we return to correct them at no additional charge.
Yes, we specialize in custom shutters for arched windows, bay windows, angled shapes, and other architectural features common in Texas homes. Each piece is manufactured specifically for your exact window dimensions.
Our measuring process captures precise angles and curves to ensure perfect fit. We use specialized mounting techniques for unusual shapes while maintaining structural integrity and smooth louver operation.
Custom shapes often become beautiful focal points that showcase the craftsmanship of quality shutters. We’ve successfully handled everything from Gothic arches to geometric shapes with excellent results.
Shutter maintenance is straightforward—regular dusting with a microfiber cloth or vacuum brush attachment keeps them looking new. For deeper cleaning, use mild soap and water while avoiding harsh chemicals.
Apply light household oil to hinges and tilt mechanisms once yearly to prevent squeaking and ensure smooth operation. Check mounting hardware periodically and tighten if loose.
Our Texas-manufactured shutters are designed for minimal maintenance in our climate. With basic care, they maintain their appearance and smooth operation for decades, making them an excellent long-term investment.
