A Wiregrass region installer since 1996
The full catalog Dothan families actually use.
Dothan is the commercial center of the Wiregrass region and the housing reflects it. Highland Park along Ross Clark Circle and the Garden District near downtown carry 1920s to 1950s brick four-squares and bungalows with tall narrow original sash. Westgate and the Country Club corridor carry 1980s and 1990s estates with palladium fronts. The newer subdivisions out toward Cottonwood and Rehobeth lean on 2000s and 2010s builder-grade construction. And every weekend a new PCS family lands near Fort Novosel (formerly Fort Rucker) with a tight move-in clock. We have measured into all of those Dothan markets since 1996.
What is consistent is the climate. Dothan sits in the deepest part of Alabama humidity, closer to Florida than to Birmingham. July and August dewpoints sit in the mid-70s, west-facing rooms across Highland Park bake from 3pm, and the country-club corridor lawns hold morning dew well into mid-morning. Poly plantation shutters for kitchens and baths, faux wood blinds from Norman and Graber for bedrooms, cellular shades for energy and light control, and motorized systems from Somfy and Lutron for the country-club corridor great rooms.
If you are a Fort Novosel PCS family staring down a 30-day move-in clock, call us before you call anyone else. Book the free in-home measure.

PCS-friendly turnaround for Fort Novosel families
We have done same-month emergency installs for incoming Fort Novosel (formerly Fort Rucker) families. Tell us your move-in date and we will flex the Dothan route to fit. Penny's letter is a real one and we honor the timeline.
Material choices that survive Wiregrass humidity
July and August dewpoints sit in the mid-70s, closer to Florida than to Birmingham. Poly plantation shutters, Norman and Graber faux wood blinds, and high-quality cellular shades handle the moisture without warping. Real basswood is fine for dry interior rooms but not for bath or kitchen.
Why Highland Park and Garden District pick basswood
The 1920s to 1950s brick four-squares and bungalows in Highland Park and the Garden District carry tall narrow original sash and wide stained casing. Hand-templated basswood plantation shutters in a 3.5 inch louver and stained hardwood blinds both fit beautifully.
What Westgate and Country Club estates spec
The 1980s to 2000s brick estates along the country-club corridor lean on basswood plantation shutters in the formal rooms, motorized roller shades in the great rooms, and palladium customs on the gabled fronts. We hand-template the palladiums on site.
Cottonwood, Rehobeth, and rural Wiregrass covered
Our monthly Dothan route also covers Cottonwood, Rehobeth, Ozark, Enterprise, Headland, and the Houston County rural pockets. Same lead time, same warranty terms, same install crew.
Local warranty service on the monthly route
Lifetime warranty does not mean much if the company is in another state. Our Dothan warranty service is a phone call to 770-949-9020 and a slot on the next monthly route.
A straight answer about stock
Real wood blinds in Dothan, AL.
If you are searching for real wood blinds in stock around Dothan, here is the honest answer before you drive anywhere: ours are not sitting on a shelf. Every blind we sell is cut to the opening it is going into, which is the entire reason it fits without a light gap down the sides. A stock blind is sized to the nearest two inches and then trimmed, and on a 1920s Garden District sash that has drifted out of square over a century it will show.
What that costs you is time, and it is less than most people expect. Real basswood hardwood runs 3 to 5 weeks from the in-home measure to the install, and faux wood runs 2 to 3 weeks. If you are on a tighter clock than that, say so on the phone: faux wood is the fast lane, it survives Wiregrass humidity better than real wood does anyway, and we plan the order backward from your date rather than forward from ours.
What you get for the wait is a real blind. Kiln-dried basswood in 1, 2 and 2.5 inch slats, more than 40 stains plus unlimited paint matching so the headrail can be matched to original Highland Park trim, cordless child-safe lift as standard, and a lifetime warranty on the mechanism. Installed, real basswood lands $22 to $32 per square foot and faux wood $14 to $20. The whole slat and stain range is on our blinds page, and for the rooms where a louver suits the house better than a slat, see plantation shutters.
