Question 1

How much do custom blinds, shades, and shutters cost in Greater SW Fort Worth?

Accepted Answer

Custom window treatments typically range from under $100 to over $1,000 per window. The price depends on the product, window size, material, operating system, motorization, and number of windows, so an exact quote requires measuring the actual windows. That's why Made in the Shade Greater SW Ft. Worth includes a free in-home consultation — we measure every window, show samples in your home's real Texas light, and tailor the quote to your actual project. Financing is available.

Question 2

What window treatments are best for beating the Texas heat and lowering energy bills?

Accepted Answer

Solar shades and cellular (honeycomb) shades are the best choices for North Texas. Solar shades block the sun's heat and up to 99% of UV before it enters, while cellular shades add insulation that eases your AC through the long, hot summer — and holds warmth in during winter cold snaps. Plantation shutters add year-round insulation and value, and are a durable, upscale fit for Aledo, Granbury, and Benbrook homes.

Question 3

Are you locally owned?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Made in the Shade Greater SW Ft. Worth is a locally, family-owned window treatment company that personally handles the consultation, measuring, and installation. You work directly with your neighbors, not a call center or a big-box store. We proudly serve Granbury, Benbrook, Aledo, Hudson Oaks, Brock, Lipan, and the surrounding greater SW Fort Worth area along the Chisholm Trail Parkway corridor.

Question 4

Do your smart shades work with Alexa and Google Home?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Our motorized shades work with all major smart-home devices, including Amazon Alexa and Google Home. Just say 'Alexa, raise my shades,' or schedule them to lower during the peak Texas afternoon heat — convenient and energy-smart. They're ideal for tall, hard-to-reach windows and the large windows common in North Texas homes.

Question 5

How does the free in-home consultation work?

Accepted Answer

Made in the Shade brings the showroom to you: we come to your home, review products and samples in your actual Texas light, take professional measurements, and give you a quote. After you order, we handle professional installation for a precise fit. No showroom trip needed — you compare colors and textures against your own walls, floors, and North Texas light.

Question 6

What areas do you serve?

Accepted Answer

Made in the Shade Greater SW Ft. Worth serves the greater southwestern Fort Worth area, from Granbury to Benbrook along Chisholm Trail Parkway to the east, and the Lipan, Hudson Oaks, Aledo, and Brock communities to the west, plus surrounding areas including Weatherford, Cresson, Godley, and Joshua.
