A Carroll County installer since 1996
Real wood, measured at your window in Carroll County.
Carrollton is a small city with three very different markets riding on top of each other. The 1920s and 1930s bungalows around Maple Street and the downtown square want a stained hardwood blind that ties into original trim. The Sunset Hills and west-side subdivisions built between the 1990s and the 2010s lean on faux wood for value and uniformity across a 14-window house. And the rental stock around the University of West Georgia wants a durable, child-safe cordless faux wood that holds up to tenants and turnovers. We have measured into every one of those three markets since 1996.
What is consistent is Carroll County humidity and west sun. Summer dewpoints sit in the low 70s, pollen season is brutal mid-March through May, and the west-facing rooms cook from 3pm through dinner. Real basswood is perfect for the dry rooms; faux wood from Norman, Hunter Douglas, and Graber is the right choice for kitchens, baths, sunrooms, and any window with direct steam or splash. Faux wood will not warp, yellow, or peel in Carroll County humidity, and the modern faux wood reads as wood from across the room.
Because Carrollton is only a 35-minute drive from our Douglasville home shop, we keep a tight lead time on Carroll County jobs. Book the free in-home measure and most weeks we can be at your house inside seven business days.

Built for the way Carroll County homes are built.
Trim-match for historic Maple Street bungalows
The 1920s and 1930s bungalows around Maple Street and the downtown square want a stained hardwood blind that ties into the original wide casing, not a generic white. We bring over 40 stains and paints to the consult and hold them against your trim in daylight. Custom stain matching is included, not an upcharge.
Faux wood that survives Carroll County humidity
Summer dewpoints sit in the low 70s and west-facing rooms take a hard 3pm sun. Norman and Graber faux wood will not warp, yellow, or peel under those conditions. The slat reads as wood from across the room and holds tolerance for the life of the home.
Cordless is the default, child-safe
We have not sold corded lift systems for child-occupied rooms in over a decade. Cordless is the standard recommendation for any bedroom or playroom. The lift action is smooth and the system carries the same lifetime warranty as the corded version, with none of the strangulation risk.
Motorization for tall stairs and transoms
The two-story Sunset Hills builds with stair-side transoms and the new-build great rooms with 12-foot windows want motorization. Somfy and Lutron motors add $235 to $260 or more per blind for the motor and 6 to 7 years on the warranty. We program the wall switch or hand you the remote at install.
Durable rentals around the University of West Georgia
If you are a landlord with rental stock around UWG, the right answer is 2-inch faux wood cordless. It survives tenants and turnovers without breaking the slat, and the replacement slat is a phone call to us, not a special order. Most of our UWG-corridor landlords spec the same SKU across every unit so swap parts are interchangeable.
Local warranty service, not a regional ticket
Lifetime warranty on the mechanism does not mean much if the company is in another state. Our warranty service in Carrollton is a phone call to 770-949-9020 and a same-week visit. Carrollton is a 35-minute drive from our Douglasville shop.
When a slat is not enough
Wood shutters in Carrollton.
Plenty of Carrollton rooms are better served by a shutter than by a blind, and the Maple Street and downtown-square houses are the clearest case. A real wood shutter is a built frame hung in the opening, so it reads as part of the house rather than as something added to it. On a bungalow with original casing and wavy glass that is the difference between a window that looks restored and one that looks covered up.
Our wood shutter is kiln-dried basswood, dried to 6 to 8 percent moisture content and sealed on all six faces of every component before paint or stain goes on. That matters here: Carroll County dewpoints sit in the low 70s through the summer and an unsealed panel breathes that moisture in and bows over a decade. Sealed basswood does not, which is why it carries a lifetime warranty against warp and twist. Louvers come in 2.5, 3.5 and 4.5 inch, and on the tall narrow sash around Maple Street the 2.5 or 3.5 inch keeps the proportion the house was built with. Hidden tilt rod is worth asking for on anything facing a formal room.
Where the room is wet we will steer you off wood on purpose. A bath, a laundry, or a kitchen window over a sink is work for engineered poly, which will not warp, yellow or peel and still reads as wood from across the room. Installed, wood and poly shutters land $22 to $45 per square foot and run 5 to 6 weeks from the measure. The full material and louver range is on our plantation shutters page, and if you want to see the arch and palladium shapes we template by hand, those are under arches and palladiums.
What wood shutters and blinds cost in Carrollton
Honest pricing, before the in-home measure.
Below is the real installed blind range we are quoting in 2026 dollars for Carrollton homes. Wood and poly shutters sit above it at $22 to $45 per square foot installed.
$14 - $32 / sq ftinstalled, faux wood and hardwood
Faux wood lands at the bottom of that range, hardwood basswood at the top. Motorization adds $235 to $260 or more per blind for the motor itself. A three-bedroom Sunset Hills home with 14 windows averages $2,500 to $5,800 in faux wood, $4,200 to $9,000 in real hardwood. A larger Maple Street historic bungalow with 18 windows lands $3,200 to $11,000 depending on material.
We do not run loss-leader "starting at" pricing. The number we hand you at the consult is the number on the install invoice, with the warranty paperwork attached. Book the free in-home measure.

It is hard to believe that we ordered 23 faux wood blinds at 9AM and they were delivered by 3PM, just in time to be loaded on the moving van for the trip to our new home in New Orleans. We will never forget what you did for us.Penny, New Orleans, LA

Questions Carrollton homeowners ask
What you actually want to know.
Do you make real wood shutters for Carrollton homes?
Yes. Our wood shutter is kiln-dried basswood, sealed on all six faces of every component, in 2.5, 3.5 and 4.5 inch louvers with a lifetime warranty against warp and twist. Installed it runs $22 to $45 per square foot and takes 5 to 6 weeks from the measure. For a bath or a kitchen window we will usually recommend engineered poly instead, because it will not warp in Carroll County humidity.
What do custom blinds cost in Carrollton?
Custom blinds in Carrollton run roughly $14 to $32 per square foot installed depending on material. Faux wood lands at the bottom of that range, real basswood hardwood at the top. A three-bedroom Sunset Hills home with 14 windows averages $2,500 to $5,800 in faux wood, $4,200 to $9,000 in real hardwood.
How long does it take to install blinds in Carrollton?
Our Carrollton lead time runs 3 to 5 weeks consult-to-install for hardwood, 2 to 3 weeks for faux wood. A typical full-house install runs half a day to one day on site.
Do you cover Sunset Hills, Maple Street, and the downtown square?
Yes. We measure across Carrollton, including Sunset Hills, the Maple Street corridor, the downtown square, the University of West Georgia neighborhoods, and out into Bowdon, Whitesburg, Villa Rica, and the Carroll County rural pockets.
What is the warranty?
Real hardwood blinds carry a lifetime warranty on the mechanism. Faux wood carries a 25-year warranty on the slats and a lifetime warranty on the lift mechanism. Motorized blinds add a 5-year warranty on the motor itself, 10 years for Somfy and Lutron.
Cordless or motorized for child-safe Carrollton bedrooms?
Cordless is the standard recommendation for child-safe bedrooms; we have not sold corded lift systems for child-occupied rooms in over a decade. Motorization is the upgrade for second-story or hard-to-reach windows. See our blinds page for the full options.
Can you match the trim color on historic Maple Street homes?
Yes. We carry over 40 wood stains and paints, and we custom-match. We bring the samples to the consult and hold them against your woodwork in daylight.
