Don’t Let the East Texas Climate Ruin Your Blinds
Humidity Warps Cheap Materials
The “Piney Woods” humidity is relentless. Standard faux-wood blinds from big box stores will bow, yellow, and warp within a single East Texas summer. We install 100% moisture-proof composite products that are guaranteed to last.
High SWEPCO Bills
Gaps in your window coverings let the intense Texas sun pour in, turning your home into a sauna and forcing your AC to run nonstop. Our insulating shades and shutters act as a heat shield, lowering your energy bill and giving your cooling system a break.
Flimsy Hardware Breaks Easily
Cheap plastic components can’t handle daily use by an active family. Cords snap, and plastic wands break. We use professional-grade hardware and offer durable cordless options that are built to last and safer for kids and pets.
Now that’s easy, call now!

Exterior Shades
Your Private Lakefront Oasis
Don’t let the sun or bugs ruin your time by the water. Our motorized exterior screens turn your covered porch or boat dock into a comfortable, bug-free retreat. Block the intense glare coming off Lake Palestine or Lake Tyler while keeping the breeze and the view.

From the historic brick streets of Tyler to the sprawling ranches around Athens and Canton, our reputation is built on honest work and Southern hospitality. We are proud to be the 5-star rated team our neighbors recommend for quality products and reliable service.
Window Coverings Built for the Piney Woods
Living in East Texas means enjoying the outdoors, but it also means dealing with high humidity, intense sun, and spring pollen. Our collection is curated to thrive in this specific climate. From moisture-proof shutters that won’t warp to easy-clean shades that repel dust, we have the durable, stylish solutions your home needs.
Shades
Keep your home cool without sacrificing the view. Our solar screen shades are the perfect choice for homes on Lake Palestine, filtering out the harsh afternoon sun and reducing glare on the water. For bedrooms, our cellular shades provide excellent insulation against the Texas heat and total privacy.
Shutters
The ultimate upgrade for any East Texas home. Our composite plantation shutters offer the classic look of painted wood but are engineered to be 100% moisture-resistant. They will never warp, crack, or yellow in the humidity, adding permanent, worry-free value to your property in Tyler or Longview.
Blinds
Get timeless style that’s easy to maintain. Our faux wood blinds are the practical choice for busy families. They resist the sticky East Texas humidity and feature a smooth surface that makes wiping away spring pollen a breeze. They are a durable, budget-friendly option for outfitting your entire home.
Outdoor Shades
Maximize your time on the patio or boat dock. Our motorized exterior screens block the intense afternoon heat and create a secure barrier against mosquitoes and lake bugs. Transform your covered porch in Chandler or Athens into a comfortable, shaded oasis for family gatherings.
Drapery
Add a touch of Southern elegance to your living space. Custom drapery softens the look of any room, providing a finished, designer touch. Layering drapery panels over your blinds or shades adds an extra thermal barrier against the heat and brings warmth to your home’s interior design.
Decorative Grilles
Give your home a custom, architectural detail. Faux iron grilles are an easy way to dress up transom windows or entry doors. They provide the rustic, sophisticated look of wrought iron without the heavy weight or the risk of rusting in our humid climate.
