Question 1

How much do custom blinds, shades, and shutters cost in Austin?

Accepted Answer

Custom window treatments usually 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 needs the actual windows measured. That is why Made in the Shade Austin includes a free in-home consultation — we bring the mobile showroom to you, measure every window, show samples in your home's real light, and tailor the quote to your project.

Question 2

What window treatments are best for beating the Texas heat?

Accepted Answer

Solar shades are the top choice. They block the sun's heat and up to 99% of UV before it enters, which keeps rooms cooler and stops fading. Roller shades (our featured top pick) go smart with motorization, and cellular shades add insulation to lower your energy bill. Our spectrally selective solar shades cut heat and glare while preserving your Hill Country view.

Question 3

Are you locally owned?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Made in the Shade Austin is locally owned and operated, with 168+ 5-star Google reviews. We have no retail storefront, so we bring the full mobile showroom to your home and pass the savings on to you. You work with a local design team that handles millimeter-perfect measuring and installation.

Question 4

Do solar shades really keep rooms cooler and protect my furniture?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Solar shades block the sun's heat and up to 99% of UV before it enters, which keeps rooms cooler and protects floors, furniture, and art from fading. Our spectrally selective solar shades are tuned for the intense Austin sun. They ease your AC through the long Texas cooling season while keeping your view.

Question 5

Can my shades be motorized and smart-home ready?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Our motorized shades work with major smart-home systems, so you can raise and lower even tall, hard-to-reach windows by remote, app, or schedule. It is ideal for the large great-room and view windows of Austin and Hill Country homes.

Question 6
