Window Treatments
The right window treatments solve real problems: harsh Texas sun, high cooling costs, privacy concerns, and hard-to-reach windows. Whether you're looking for motorized blinds, blackout shades, or custom drapery, we help you choose solutions that actually work for how you live.
Motorized & Manual Shades
Motorized window shades make daily life easier—especially for hard-to-reach windows, large glass walls, or when you want your shades on a schedule. Wake up to natural light, block afternoon sun automatically, or close everything with one button when you leave.
We work with all the major systems: battery-powered shades (no electrician needed), hardwired motorized blinds, and integration with Alexa, Google Home, or your smart home system.
Popular shade options:
Roller shades - Clean, simple, hundreds of fabrics from sheer to blackout
Solar shades - Block heat and glare while keeping your view (perfect for west-facing windows)
Blackout shades - Complete room darkening for bedrooms and media rooms
Cellular (honeycomb) shades - Best insulation for energy efficiency
Dual shades - Sheer and blackout in one system for flexibility
Custom Drapery
Sometimes you want the look and feel of real fabric. We guide you through choosing materials, lining options (blackout, thermal, standard), and hardware that matches your style. Motorized drapery tracks available for effortless operation.
Hard-to-Cover Windows
Angled windows, skylights, oversized glass walls, circular or arched windows—these need custom solutions. We measure precisely, design specifically for your window, and install systems that operate smoothly despite unusual shapes or sizes.
What Makes Central Texas Different
Austin sun is intense. West-facing windows can make rooms unbearably hot. UV rays fade furniture and flooring. We factor in sun angles, heat gain, and your home's orientation when recommending window treatments. The right shade fabric can cut cooling costs significantly while protecting your interiors.
How We Work
We come to your home, look at your windows, ask about your priorities (privacy, light control, energy efficiency, ease of use), and explain what will actually work best. No pressure, no confusing jargon—just straightforward guidance based on 30+ years of experience.
Installation is clean and precise. Motorized shades are programmed and tested. You'll know exactly how everything operates before we leave.
Common Questions We Answer
Do battery-powered shades really work? Yes—modern batteries last 1-2 years and are easy to replace. Great for retrofit projects.
Can I control shades when I'm away? With smart motorized shades, yes—through your phone from anywhere.
What's the best shade for blocking heat? Solar shades with low openness factor (3-5%) block the most heat while maintaining some view.
How long does installation take? Most homes are completed in one day.
