Commercial Blinds in Austin
Austin sits eighty miles up I-35 from our San Antonio yard, which makes it a natural extension of our home market and a place our crews work nearly every week.
Blind and shade installation along the I-35 corridor
The corridor between San Antonio and Austin is one continuous construction market, and we treat it that way. Crews already working in New Braunfels, San Marcos or Kyle can be on an Austin site the same morning. For a general contractor, that means the window covering sub is not the reason the ceiling of the schedule drops.
Austin's commercial building stock skews toward glass. Office towers downtown and in the Domain, tech campuses in the northwest, and institutional buildings across the city all put enormous glazing area in front of a west-facing Texas sun. That pushes the specification toward solar-screen roller shades with defined openness factors, dual-shade assemblies pairing a screen fabric with blackout, and increasingly toward motorized systems tied into building controls.
We install to those specs at volume. A downtown floor plate with a continuous shade pocket is a different animal from a classroom with a punched opening, and the failures come from bracket and pocket conditions, not from the fabric. We field-verify before product is fabricated wherever the schedule allows, which is the single cheapest way to avoid a change order.
Office, institutional and multifamily work in Austin
Office interiors remain the largest slice of our Austin work — core-and-shell buildings getting a base shade package, and tenant improvements where each floor gets its own scope, schedule and superintendent. TI work rewards a sub who can show up for a two-day install, do it clean around finished millwork and carpet, and come back for the punch without a fight.
Institutional work follows close behind: public and private school campuses, university buildings, health clinics and municipal facilities. These jobs run on public bid schedules and specification compliance, and they generally want documented products, documented warranties and documented installation. That is our comfort zone.
Austin's multifamily pipeline — downtown high-rises, transit-oriented mid-rises and suburban garden communities — produces the repetitive unit counts that reward a crew-based installer. We install unit by unit against the turnover schedule, handle the model units early for the leasing office, and roll straight into punch as buildings deliver.
Working with Austin general contractors and dealers
We bid from plans and spec sections, provide a written scope letter, carry insurance and furnish certificates on request, and coordinate directly with your superintendent for access, elevator time and staging. We are also happy to work installation-only for dealers and manufacturers who have won an Austin project without local labor to execute it.
If your Austin project also has sister sites in San Antonio, Dallas–Fort Worth or Waco, one subcontractor covers all of them, with one point of contact and one set of paperwork.
Most Austin projects need more than one product line. See our commercial blinds, commercial window shades and motorized commercial shades pages for product detail, our new construction window treatments page for how we work from plans, and the general contractor and dealer page for scope, submittals and insurance details.

Commercial blinds FAQs — Austin
Do you install solar shades in Austin office buildings?
Yes. Solar-screen roller shades are the most common product we install in Austin. We install the openness factor and fabric the specification calls for, in pocket, recessed or surface-mounted conditions, at full-floor volume.
Can you handle a phased tenant improvement schedule in Austin?
Yes. Most Austin TI work is floor-by-floor. We install against your turnover sequence, coordinate elevator and loading dock time with your superintendent, and return for punch as each floor completes.
Do you install motorized shades on Austin commercial projects?
Yes. We install motorized and automated shading, coordinate power and low-voltage rough-in requirements with the electrical contractor early, and commission with the controls provider on the schedule.
Are you based in Austin?
We are based in San Antonio and run Austin as a core market. Crews reach Austin sites daily via I-35, and we staff Austin projects the same way we staff work at home.
